I'm not on about squad numbers,more about quality.Barring the 2 mentioned I think we have.We where never going to get better than them 2 in league 1,but the replacement seem descent for this level 

The quality remains to be seen for me 

Not a criticism 

I think Mahghoma is a step up in the middle 

But yet to see anything of real quality from Nlundulu, Ashworth or Gomes yet 

Cogley and Forrester look promising though

Axel Tuanzebe at 25 with loads of Prem experience being one of them ? Surely worth a punt at right wages. 

63 appearances in 8 years. Would provide company for JDB at least.

If Wilson and Baccus break our wage cap, this lad surely will. Great player ruined by a bad back injury but still attracting interest and currently in talks with Ipswich.

I think one of the problems is the statement coming from the club and evatt earlier in the summer  stuff like  Clubs throwing players at us due to the success of Bradley and Trafford and then we don’t get anyone

then we’re looking at players for fees from now on and waiting on the domino’s to fall one statement from him players from top end championship clubs and player at premier league club . May be it was mendes he was taliking about but the guy as only played at league one level  so that was misleading 

then even stuff like the toughsheet sponsorship we were told the guy was also paying for a new pitch will that happen on top of that the bonds money . 
if we’re there or there abouts then it won’t matter but if we slip there is going to be criticism

If we win the league by the beginning of April some will still criticise.

if we cant afford clarke-harris we definately cant afford him

Hard to believe the reported fee that Bristol Rovers agreed for Clarke Harris was the same that we paid for Dan and Vic combined (£800k)..  And his value can only reduce in January when he's half a season from the end of his contract.

And some fans say we haven't strengthened 

OK we lost Trafford and Bradley but they were never our players

Out of interest where have Williams and Lee ended up?

Mj got himself a 3 year deal at mk who are currently second in L2 

So probably a good move all round  

Had a look to see how Bakayoko was getting on at FGR 

0 goals in 19 games and now he's on loan at Dundee in the SPL, started yesterday, 0 goals in 4 games 

Not sure if that last move is a step up or step down

Valued by whom?

It's clickbait shite like the ones that say compare away attendances to other clubs in the league

Does it matter? Transfermarkt or whoever is irrelevant as they're actually worth what someone will pay for them in the real world.

But if all the valuations are taken from the same source such as Transfermarkt - or based on fees historically paid then at least it's a like for like comparison - even if that's a like for like crap valuation comparison.

Newspapers have to fill their column inches with something as Iles demonstrates week in week out.

Thing that interested me is that a lot of clubs reckon we're loaded so being 8th in this League 1 squad valuation may change a few minds about us.

It's a load of bollocks though

At the end of the day, a player is only worth what someone will pay

Not some bloke behind a keyboard 

You clicked on it so you'll probably get a load of messages comparing away attendances, home ones and how many goals each team have scored on a Tuesday night

Cool. Although the Portsmouth News newspaper tends not to do that - we know where they live.
