Can you give any clues on age, previous clubs, recent stats, what league he's from etc?

We had no strikers to talk about last year, the year before Kieffer ploughed through on his own as we sold our only other 1st team striker.
Strikers win games and take the glory. Weve bought the best of what was available with our limited (zero) available finance, but now we are faced with competition for strikers, we are going to struggle with the wages that the regime is willing to pay.
The goodwill of previous signings is rapidly wearing off. Purse strings MUST be loosened sonewhat if we are not to fall into the trap of previous years.

What's the point of loosening the purse strings if the purse is empty ?

Who decides the purse is empty? We are surely in no worse state than the majority of other Championship clubs, arguably even better than most given our Premier foray, our attendances, and yet there are smaller more unfashionable clubs who are spending wisely and appropriately.
Our regime decide we wont spend money. As such our regime decide we will always be at a disadvantage

Id love to see this stat once the season starts, so we can see how much effort the regime put into our club and just how competitive they want us to be.
Ollie Tanner fee was an insignificant amount and more a token. We have spent next to nothing. And for those who talk about 'signing on fees, Agents fees etc'. I have no doubt we'd be near or at the bottom there too meaning that our ability to capture a bit of quality is severely weakened by the the regimes attitude to the club and its fans.

So from now on you’ll wait until the transfer window is closed before slagging off the club will you? Considering you think that the current numbers don’t show an accurate reflection of how competitive we have been/will be in the transfer window.
I’m not quite sure how you think we’d be “near or at the bottom” for agents fees, signing on fees, wages, etc when half the league have signed 2 or less players. Unless you think we’re so tight clubs are offering 5x what we are? In which case how did we manage to convince 9 players to sign for us with such unattractive offers?
