Don't know anything about him, but good experience in the upper league's is exactly what people have been calling for. Hopefully, we'll see a change of record now that people can't say 'we need Championship experience or we'll be going straight back down'...
 



Yep.....and I give it two weeks until we hear that he got him as his fourth choice because the club wouldn't stump up for Wilders first three targets.
 
Wilder's No.1 transfer target this summer apparently. I assume he means defensive target.
 
Permanent deal! Quite surprising. It won't be a cheap one.

He had a year left at Fulham, but cost them £2m two years ago. I'd estimate the fee will be between 400-700k.

Wage wise I thought it would be difficult to do a permanent deal but I suppose the contract length goes a long way to enabling it.

Expect an interview with Wilder stating as much. Just watched Stearmans interview and it was mentioned 'in the press, Chris Wilders said No. 1 target' to which Steaman replies, with a smile, ' thanks gaffer, no pressure then'...
 



What is the relevance of that?

Not what you think I suspect Bert. He's an amiable loony. I think it's an in-joke from Bladesmad.

I'm pleased with this signing. Exactly the sort of commanding CB I knew we'd be in for. Perhaps Jimmy White's Deadline Day Army will calm down a bit now?

No, we establish ourselves by hoping that our younger players, signed from the divisions below make the step up and become bona fide championship players.

Most of our 'peers' are more wealthy than ourselves: I think you'll find we're shopping in different markets.

For the record, I'm happy with the signing.
Most of our peers are not more wealthy than ourselves! They probably have bigger budgets though. Using the term 'hoping' our youngsters step up speaks volumes. i said it would be a meh signing. no resale value but decent experience at this level lets see how he goes. Im usually wrong if that offers any comfort!
 
Quality transfer business. Hardly a word from anyone about this then bang, he's signed. Probably as good a CH as we could feasibly attract.

Absolutely. It rather puts all the ITK bollocks in perspective doesn't it? I hope someone has warned him that the dressing-room is riven with unrest and the owners have abandoned the club.

They're loads wealthier. At least five are on parachute payments and another four or five have billionaire owners.
