These articles and headlines show that traditionally we've sold our most prized players in previous transfer windows. I appreciate some of you have your concerns over Flecks recent form but he's integral to how we play hence starting week in week out.

Under a different management team he would have been sold Fleck this month, O'Connell would have gone to Brighton in the Summer and we wouldn't have brought in two players that in the past two seasons have cost combined £19million.

Under Wilder we're going up, whether it be this season or next or the one after we're going up. Mr McCabe keep doing what you're doing, you're giving the right man the money. UTB roll on Saturday!

Didn't think there was a transfer window when Deane and Fjortoft were playing. It was just open season right up until March.

I didn’t realise Deano was out of contract at the end of the season. Fucking amateurs.

Tbf I don’t think it’s down to the management team.

If a half decent bid comes in for any of our players they will probably go.

We would rather save a bit of money than go for the big pot of gold.

True, I'm premature with this assumption!

We lost Brookes in the last window

West Ham don’t need to abide by petty little rules about transfer windows. I’ll leave it a day

Yep nearly put that. I have to be honest I thought it was a good deal at the time, but he's gone on to flourish.

Really?
Can you explain why JOC and Fleck are still here?
Or why we lose money each year and yet our spend has increased?

The lad wanted to go, wasn’t a regular first teamer and has thrived in a team that doesn’t play like we do.
The manager approved the deal and used the money to get us the squad we have now.
It was the right decsion for the club then, and it still is now.

.

Probably because we haven’t received realistic offers if any at all. Most of our players have gone under the radar for the past couple of seasons due to the way we play and the age of certain players. The only time one stood out he got sold sharping to bornemouth
