Gutted but knew deep down this was coming, we got a bonus season out of him last year to help us find our feet in League 1 really.

This signing is going to be absolutely critical for our season

We do need another but can't see us signing anyone ahead of Brown, so likely to be another loanee or higher league off cast.

We now need to replace 2 (Idris and Sanders) but won't be surprised if Obeiro is treated as the Sanders replacement and we only bring in 1...

Oberio is definitely going to be a starter for me, let's hope he stands up to the test

Yeah I think Ling will see to that making sure he gets Obiero game time as he wants to push the academy. Whether he's any good in a competitive league game not end of season dead-rubbers is another matter entirely.

If we cheap out on the CDM we'll be back in League 2 before you can say "Ethan Coleman"

Any player is replaceable but Idris is as close as you’re gonna get to being irreplaceable. When he didn’t play last year we look lost. It’s the most crucial signing we make this year and if we get it wrong we could be in trouble

He wasn’t great last year. Galbraith is better. We’ll be fine.

Consider us in trouble. Apart from Charlie Kelman, the signings we have through the door at the moment have been very under whelming. These are the type of signings you do towards the end of the window as back ups, these should not be our main targets.

Still no keeper and still no CDM. these are the priority positions IMO.

Yet he played that role better than anyone else we have. No one else in our squad wins the ball and senses danger like he did. Quiet and effective but will be badly missed now he's not there

No he didn’t. Jordan Brown did. Idris was box to box when fit.

Ill refrain from judgement until the end of July. The sequencing of things can be complex. We'll see. The type of player who replaces Idris will show the intent of the board (i.e. this isn't the year for a push). Getting some loanee's with a view to a permanent move may be more of what we see, which is worrying

If we don’t adequately replace Idris put money on us to get relegated . We definitely can’t go cheap in this area or we’re down

We all realistically knew he would not be back and there is no way we could pay 400k in one lump.

All we can do is move on, thank him and wish him all the best in the second tier. Hope he smashes it.

I don't think we will go cheap as this is one of the main positions we need to fill with quality. Saying that, people MUST be realistic but a lot on these message boards are exactly the opposite. We can't afford what most others in this league can financially so it's about time they accept it.

Because this season is going to be much tougher than it was last season . So far we’re weaker than we were last season so if we can’t compete on the pitch we’re in trouble.

They want 7 bee players signed and ready to go for pre-season and they all have to be premier league quality

Obeiro is going to be the real deal, no question.
