Good on Smith for confirming there is nothing sinister in it. ROK has always been a lower league man, maybe he just didn't feel comfortable now, training big name players and the demands of it. 

 

Doubt it'll shut up the doom mongers.

Tbf even if there were players incoming I doubt Smith would give much away in a press conference.

Shsss with your sensible views, let's instead get hysterical cus we ain't signing nobody else.

Cutler and the new set piece coach. I don't see a problem

Exactly. There's no problem. People overreacting as per usual.

Every department is crucial.....but the engine room, is what it is.

Its central to controlling games....if we want to finish half way and play smash and grab to get results, its ok....if we want European football, midfield needs to be stronger., more durable and more athletic.

We've signed Bailey, Buendia and Sanson will be like another new signing. Midfield is without a doubt stronger now.

Have you ever heard him talk? He is from the same place as Roy Keane 

That's great and all... if only he'd play more like Roy Keane.

Is it true ings is the second most prolific player in prem last two seasons?

No idea, but he's gonna be first after this season.

With a 1 year option on top also.

Why on earth would he have done that, madness.

He's rather injury prone, so another loan seems sensible.

Really don't like this 

 

I'm sure your preferred team will play a formation more to your liking.

I see it, as you do. 

But but he's a Brazilian International... 

I do think I see the potential, but will it ever come to fruition... guess we'll see this season.

He's not a Brazilian International though... so....

He's also not our player.

What are our odds to win the league?

Get rid quick cus he's not good enough.

we're looking for a midfielder

I'm in my very very late 30s and... readily available.

Did we get money for Samatta and Engels sales? That could be added to the war chest.

Didn't you hear, that was about £100M too.

Classy post from Jack that 

If you read that and are still angry, think he's disloyal, call him a snake etc then I feel sorry for you, I really do. It was an opportunity impossible to turn down and that's basically what he said.

What a load of cobblers. That "opportunity" would've been there every year. Jumping ship now is nothing but cowardly and greedy. Good riddance. 

It's about fecking time. Just relieved this will finally be over.

Not sure we'd be able to get him, just because I know all La Liga players have release clauses and the stars at clubs, even "lesser" teams outside the big three, often have obscene release clauses.

You’re probably right... but these days, the way we're run, I wouldn't rule out anything.

I do wonder if we'll go all out and use the bulk of the Grealish money on a truly quality marquee signing. Someone like (but not necessarily him) Milinkovic-Savic.

He's good, but Oyarzabal is better.

How about a cheeky £60 million bid for James Maddison from Leicester to replace Jack? Test their resolve, piss Arsenal off, and minimise losing Grealish all in one go? Fantasy? Yes. Worth the crack? Definitely.

Why would we pay 60M for a 15-20M player? 

Bailey is the player that will completely reshape our fortunes, mark my words. Y'all will be getting his face tattooed to yer arses before Christmas.

Agree. For me regardless if he fails medical he will not be captain if he stays so he should just leave 

 

Win all the trophies  and earn the biggest amount of money he can.

 

Oh and pick a nice spot on the bench he likes to sit because he will not be playing 90mins every game FACT. At villa he had a strop because he came off against Newcastle with 2minutes to go.

 

 

Unpopular opinion perhaps, but I do believe Gresford will benefit greatly from not having to play 90 minutes every game. 

How anyone can be anything but ecstatic about Ings signing is beyond me.

A genuinely superb baller.

My big worry is we have inflated expectations of what that £100m buys us. It’s two Ben Whites. It’s not going to transform the club.

There's no need to spent it all at once. We already have a decent squad.

When he said that he hadn't played for England in different countries with top class players. Now he's had a taste and wants more. 

 

He'd have all that here too. At the end of the day it's probably just money and the lure of instant success.
