Yeah, if Birmingham had done a deal it's a case of telling us to match or better it. |  |

wouldn't surprise me if Birmingham attempt to blow us out of the water. |  | | |

....he may have to endure a meeting with both Brady and Ashton to make his mind up.
He'll probably decide to stay where he is if he does. |  |

At least ours won’t have some Netflix camera in his face whilst doing so - hopefully that swings it! | |

Interesting deal though - if we get promoted, the first £7m of our budget goes on a 30 year old Akpom. | |

Think Akpom would be a superb signing at this level.
Got a ton of experience playing at higher level and has the ability to be prolific in the Championship. |  | | |

If we get promoted im sure he would of had a big say in it.
We need to add experince and especially in the front line. |  |

Potentially.
Often a clause in these kind of deals to protect us in case of lack of contribution. | |

Somewhat offset by the 110m in television money, but he'll need upgrading for sure. | | | |

Not dissimilar to Chris Wood.
Lot to be said for a 30+ striker who knows how to handle himself. |  | | |

Sure - but £7m is still £7m. If we get promoted, that sort of money next time could pay for another…

In age, ish.
But Wood has nearly 100 Premier League goals in his career. | |

Tough one to do this. Brum well financed now and clearly want him. Does us moving late make him think twice.
On the other hand we were PL last year and expect to be gunning for it again..... plus we're now appsaving 35k a week with Hackney nor comming so plenty of cash |  |

You can't score 100 in a league you've barely played in.
Nearly 1 in 2 for Boro and 1 in 3 for Ajax. Neither Prem but we need to get back there before we worry about staying there. It's going to be a battle. | |

I can't see it happening. He'll either go to his old club where he's scored goals before, or the shiny new club in the league in Brum.
I'd like it, but I'd be surprised. |  |

Aren’t we the new shiny league in the team given the league we were in last year? Both been out the division the same amount of time. |  | | |

Would probably better than going into a Prem season with AAH as backup. |  |

Yes, but I can remember similar reservations from Forest fans who wanted a newer, fresh option like Nketiah and tutted at a 29/30 year old Wood. | | | |

You make a very valid point! That comment wasn't based on a whole lot, but I do sometimes think we're just not seen as that attractive, maybe it's the sleepy Suffolk tag or being 'miles away from anything'.
Natural pessimism, probably. | |

He is from London though ... so a chance to be closer to home after a few years away (appreciate Birmingham isn't all that far from London either). |  |

Less than a whole Muric? Maybe we couldn’t afford his head, which would probably make him a better keeper 🤣 |  |
