That’s lower than I was expecting to be honest. Also makes me think that it’s almost certain to be broken numerous times this season… including by us.
Does also make me think that anyone costing c.£10m is likely to be one of our biggest fees of the window. |  | | |  |

Not sure where you've got this from, but Chelsea bought Lavia from Southampton for £50m+ last season. Brighton got Rutter from Leeds for £40m. Leeds also lost Summerville to West Ham for a lot too. And that's just to name a few off top of my head.
We even spent more than that on Greaves.
So in short, no, that isn't the record championship fee in.

If we sell Delap for £30m, I would hope to sign two central midfielders, worth £15m each.
Then maybe sell O'Shea for £20m and spend that money on a series of smaller transfers. |  |

I'd agree it was a rather rude retort and certainly deserved pulling up, but would it be impertinent of me to suggest that syntactically, with the 'in' being adjacent to the 'fee', the respondent may have a small point, if not made with the decorum and politeness which one might reasonably expect, y'cnt?

Dara's only 6'1", so I wouldn't go any smaller for a CB these days. | |

This is when policy is wrong we don't need squad depth we need to spend on quality than smaller fee players I would be looking at good loan for midfield and 1x 20m player don't sell o Shea | | | |

I read it as being about the fee in too, fwiw. |  |

Whatever we spend it has to be made with one eye on the Championship campaign and one on the Premier League. Of course it will depend on who is sold but we must be careful we don't lose too many otherwise we are in the same situation as at the start of this where we are trying to bed in a dozen at the start and another three in January. A rebuild of the midfield is needed so a minimum of two are required there.
Assuming the inevitable that Delap is gone then a replacement will be needed.
May need a fullback. So possibly four signings and a couple of loans. | | | |

This is the most important consideration. It's not certain that we return to the PL at the first go, but we have to plan for that eventually as it's more likely than not imo.
If that were to happen, we want less upheaval in the squad after promotion. We therefore have to - as you say - have a strategy that works for the Championship and builds for the PL. | | | |

There is nothing wrong with buying a battle hardy player or two who is going to be a nuisance and help a Championship campaign and then moving on again after promotion.
Looking forward too much is dangerous because any time the plan doesn't work out exactly how you anticipate, you can end up in trouble. Main objective get back up, the fact we have already got young players that now have some PL experience and should still be with us next year and beyond (if we make it back) will help.
I'd like to see a couple of midfielders to be brought in, that can hopefully make the the step up, or at the very least be part of a PL squad. The reality is if we go up again, we'd need a fairly extensive transfer window the following summer, just with a different strategy. It won't be a settled squad if we bounce between the two division for a bit unfortunately . The hope is you can continue develop the nucleus of young talent that can become good PL players. However, we need to bring in some more physicality from the top divisions abroad if we make it back, the kind of players that won't step down to Championship level so unlikely to be targets this summer.

Never said 1 or 2 couldn't be focussed on Championship needs, did I? Just that we need to have an eye on hopefully getting promoted, and work towards a stable 'together' squad for out next run at surviving in the PL. | | | |

Indeed, take Kieffer Moore for example. Warrior for us last year and the blunts this.
Probably not able to cut the mustard in the prem. | | | |
