| Rest of the Championship thread 26/27 on 21:02 - Aug 30 by Andybrat | Not quite championships but my Reading mates excited rhey have signed Conor Masterson who i actually liked though not a patch on our current CB’s. They’ve also signed Josh Knight who i swear we were after. |
I like(d) Conor, but I'm rather surprised to see him step back up after a middling time in a poor League Two Gillingham side. Josh Knight I think was the one Ainsworth had in a box signing a contract and doing press photos, said his goodbyes at Peterborough, only for the finance guy to burst in like Julius Nicholson and say "what's going on in here then?" |  | |  |

As a Bwood semi-regular (off to Worthing today) he is worth it. Notoriously not a good trainer and he’ll have to be fitter to really make it but he was like watching Taarabt in that period he was embarrassing teams every week (at a lower level, obviously). Can understand why a Championship team decided to not go for the fee the Bwood chairman very resolutely held out for but the potential of the guy if he can get his head down is very high. Finished on a slightly sour note the last couple of weeks but a joy to watch. The next off the rank is Rush who has scored eight in the first four games. Most of his goals seem to be from three yards but again way too good for the level. |  | |  |

Somewhat questionable they were ever in for him in the first place. |  |

I would have thought they would give Lyle Foster a run then. Pretty decent striker for this level. |  | |  |

Damn, I didn't realise that. The only money we have spent is on our backup keeper, and we're one of the only non-relegated clubs that is in the green for transfer spend this summer. |  | |  |

That’s crazy money for a non-parachute team. And surely the Jack Robinson rumour can’t be true? £6 million… ??? |  | |  |

Interesting stat. Further undermines the "QPR big spending" narrative. Yes there are legitimate concerns about fitness, yes two of them are loans, but to get Lampety, Cirkin, Charles and Kamara for free is pretty incredible business and not sure the club has got sufficient credit for it. |  | |  |

Yeah we haven’t really spent that much over 3 years, especially given the state of the squad and youth team 3 years ago. Wonder where we stand if you look at 3 year spend? |  | |  |

Since the 23/24 season we have the lowest outlay on players (€23.63m) of any team currently in the Championship. We’re 11th out of 24 when it comes to a balance sheet ( €9.33m loss) Caveat - These figures comes from Transfer market so are not entirely reliable as so many transfer fees are withheld but it gives a rough idea of where we are in relation to other teams.

I think they’re gambling big time. Their accounts don’t show massive revenue. So they must be amortising the transfer fees over, say five years. Which is fine if they get promoted or every transfer works out. But if say three out of the six players leave before the five years is up then they will have to crystallise the remaining transfer fee in that year. While also getting in new players. Of course the new rules allow for owners to put in more cash but still it could backfire if they don’t get promoted in the next five years. Even if those players tdon’t leave in the next five years they could be clogging up players in their squad unless they have only signed very young players who are likely to be at their peak throughout those five years. |  | |  |

Wawll should also make a few quid if the Zian Flemming to Ipswich deal goes through @ the reported £17m. Nice little bonus on top of the £7m Wawll got from Burnley for ZF. |  | |  |
