Jed is a very good keeper trouble is he just cant stay fit.

With 4 keepers on the books it would be crazy to buy one more when there are so many other positions that need sorting.

Either we need to sell everyone but Heaton or play them until Heaton is fit. He should be back in a couple of months so don't think we should be spending 15-20% of our budget on yet another keeper

I'd start the season with Jed in goal, if he makes a massive mistake/gets injured then bring Nyland in.

Matt Cash - Notts Forest.

Was it a proper link, or just random mention somewhere? 

Is he any good?

If we do go ahead and sign the likes of Benrahma, Watkins and Cash, I hope the step up isn't too much for them. 

Who?

Must have missed that one being linked

Let's not forget there was a new rule introduced a few years ago where a player cannot be at 3 clubs in one season.

This means Man City cannot buy him back to just sell him on, so the question really is if they feel he is ready to become a first team squad member or not.

I personally don't think he is yet so we have nothing to worry about.

How are our injuries progressing? Heaton and Wesley fit for next month? 

If not, Ramsdale might be worth it. 

Sheffield United had an 18.5m bid accepted this morning for him

Thanks, but I don't want to be firing up the laptop and messing with cables when I want bit of AVTV.  Was hoping for a slicker solution. 

Its really not that great that you need to buy an extra bit of equipment to have permanently attached to your TV just to watch a few interviews

Just watch it on your phone? but if you are looking at buying a smart device then don't buy a Roku as they don't have a browser. Chromecast basically projects from another device or theres Firestick

Would have no issues with us giving Bournemouth a bit of cash and Hogan for Wilson. Instant improvement.

I kinda wanted us to go big this summer and bring in 3 or 4 "big" name players to walk straight into our first 11. But judging by the rumours so far, it seems that won't be the case. Though, we need to remember where we are as a club, we only just about got promoted last season, we only just about survived this season. Maybe we need to prove ourselves at this level before we can sign the type of players I want us to.

Well the thing to understand here is that all these links are from various media outlets - so that's where the media see us at the moment, making up links to players who they think we can get.

In reality since the new owners have come in they (the media) have no idea who we are signing as was proven last summer. 

Just have to be patient and ignore these rumours, put your feet up and watch some cricket

This shirt should be retired.

I honestly thought it already was (#19)

This is all much ado about nothing

I just realised, are we (or maybe its just me) reading the title wrong?

Maybe it means Assistant (to) Head Coach?  because the correct way of saying it would be Head assistant coach, if he was the head of the rest?

 I like the North as it is cheap and when you sit in it you don't have to see it from the pitch.

That's fine if you're under 5'5 and haven't got to be worried about leg room or being squashed from either side

If we could get 20m for wes id happily try tempt  chelsea with a 40m offer.

Think the days of Chelsea doubling other teams offers have gone

I'd rather keep Davis than Samatta tbh.

But on the other hand I do think a loan for Davis might be ideal for the player, he needs lots of game time and hopefully he can improve on the one major flaw in his game! 

Happily let them both go, we need to improve drastically up front - it is by far our weakest area

Pretty happy with the rest of the team, but if we want to get to where we want to be we need to be ruthless this window. 

If i'm being brutally honest, although I see some qualities in both of them, they are both championship players at best

Exciting appointment,

Must admit I was a little worried by the thinking Lange was also the head of recruitment as well as sporting director, but this makes much more sense now  

Didn't realise he was part of the board

Probably the signing of Stine Larsen for our Women's team.

Apparently we've signed Danish international Stine Larsen. For the women side that is.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry, wish our womens team was called something else

Sorry about the above, havent posted in this thread for ages and it seems to be stuck in my response box and I cant remove it.

So what I really wanted to say:

Edouard plays for Celtic in a league where Rangers are the only half decent opposition, so he wouldnt even be playing against Celtic as he plays for them! 

His name pops up on every page, but really that league without Celtic is league 1 standard, perhaps lower..

It would be like paying 40m for Ivan Toney or Paddy Madden, I'm not against signing players from there as McGinn, Van Dijk and possibly a few others have proved decent. But we're talking 40m here.

It makes perfect sense to me to knock the North stand down and build its replacement while the fans are away. We have a 10k season ticket waiting list after all.

Remember the ground is owned by a separate entity so it wont have any bearing on our FFP or anything like that. 

I watched Brentfords last 4 games, didnt stand out at all for me, though he did take the one goal well. He did however miss a few good chances

Bit early for this, we don't know who we are signing and if Grealish is staying..

I think we let him go already, didnt last long 

Mitrovic -  don't think he's half as good as some people here think he is. Decent player roughly 1 in 4 goal raitio in the prem, but he is very slow. Seeing how much he would cost its a definite no from me. 

We need pace in the side, our midfield is slow, our wingers are slow, and our strikers are slow

Our quickest players in the team are all defenders, Guilbert, Konsa and Mings. We cant score on the counter due to this reason, so I think Mitrovic would just be ineffective and waste of 25-35m

Is that Jose Crespo? He only played for us once but I thought he looked quite decent and not a bad looking lad too but as I said looks are irrelevant, the most important thing is to be nice as a person

OK so now we know why you get so many future stars wrong..  You can't tell them apart!

if he does the business, he can look like Quasimodo for me.

Matt Le Tissier was a fantastic player, did the business as well.

Chelsea reportedly letting Barkley, Batshuayi and Zouma go. Big wages but wouldn’t mind any of these. All would improve us. 
 

I stand by the fact that Tammy is a non starter. Not happening. 

Do a triple deal for £52.75m, get it done quick time.

Theres a young striker in the Cyprus League that just scored 7 goals in a 9-0 win on his debut. Worth a punt?

Apparently he's English and only 21 years old, goes by the name of Rushian Hepburn-Murphy

HAHA he's going to smash some records over there, cant understand why he went there.
