Cheers AK7, was waiting on this post coming out. 👍

Thank you 89, I'm sure folk will be glad next week when they don't need to keep reading pages of numbers from me.
Loan Watch continues though!

Brilliant AK7, really appreciate these, mate. Can tell a lot of time goes into them.
27 Aug 2026 16:22:21
Wonder if we will have all our business incomings wrapped up by Wednesday night, since that'll be the deadline for European squad (if we make it 😬).
27 Aug 2026 16:23:32
Some man for this and the loan reports, really appreciated.
27 Aug 2026 16:30:13
Not at all, AK7, we really appreciate you taking time and finding this information. You keep it coming, mate. 👍

Even if we get the big fwd 9/10 mill and Raskin goes for 20m approx, our net spend will be close to zero, which is fantastic, along with the wage saving of nearly 40k week, plus Raskin wage saving - very good window so far, and if Barron and Fernandez go we will be massively up even if we then have to buy another CB and maybe a creative midfielder.
