Poor sources but I have seen a couple of sights linking us with Adama Traore on a free, now that he has left Wolves. Not sure what I think of that. If it involved a fee I'd think no way, but on a free....

iirc, he dropped the Bidace last year & the commentators have been only saying Philogene… not sure if that will change on his jersey though 

I made that same mistake in another thread, but apparently he hasn't legally changed his name and has been playing in preseason with Philogene-Bidace on his shirt again. Maybe it was just for his Cardiff loan he made that change? I guess we will know when the season starts properly.

So is anything happening with Pubill? Any credible links yet?

Habib Beye was on £4,000,050 a week in 2008.  A famous MoN contract. He only played about 12 times for us as a 32 year old signing!

People have got to stop getting their knickers in twist over us having 2 extremely good players for 1 position.  Moreno won't be on more than £50-60k you'd think (3.5m a season according to a Google search), so really we've got good coverage for £150-200k for that position. 

Injuries and fatigue will play a part this year and we need the depth. 

I find it pretty ironic that the people who moan about having Digne on high wages are also the same people moaning about Olsen being back up for Emi M..  WHAT THE **** DO YOU ACTUALLY WANT?  You get what you pay for.  

Leave the finances to the pro's, not people who might work in finance and think they know how all this shit works.  

£4million per week? I don't believe you.

I don't remember that part of the song

It's the ridiculously long start of the music video, just like with Bad and Thriller, that go on for several minutes before the music starts.

So to repeat a question that I asked this time last year, I think, who is currently considered better between Seb Revan and Ben Chrisene? Last year it was Chrisene, but after his injury, have things changed?

Really? At 8:30am!

It's not that unusual for a club to have three senior keepers, is it? I know we have had three before (when Postma was around etc). Is there any reason we don't keep Olsen AND get another keeper in?

Moore Brothers, Delfouneso, Callum O'Hare

Milan Baros

Sasa Curcic, Mark Draper, John Stones

John Stones? Do you mean Steve Stone?

I agree with letting at least six of those seven move on. I would like to think a right back will still come in this window though. I'd rather not have to rely on players not in their best positions.

Martinez, Olsen

Cash

Carlos, Konsa, Chambers

Mings, Torres, Hause

Moreno, Digne

Kamara, Dendoncker

Luiz, Tielemans

Diaby, Bailey, Traore

McGinn, Buendia, Coutinho

Ramsey, Sanson, Azaz

Watkins, Archer, Duran, Wesley, Davis

That's what we have right now. A few more in and out I'm sure before the window closes but what a squad we currently have! That's not even including any of our promising under 21 players except Duran. I have to say I am feeling very positive about this season. I don't see us selling anyone that we don't want to lose (such as Martinez or Luiz) and I am excited to see who else joins. Our three signings so far make us a level above what we were last season and anyone else is just a cherry on the top. Exciting times indeed.

Cash is not a weak link in our team. I have no idea where you get this idea that he is nervous on the ball and can't pass the ball. Utter rubbish! He has been a solid player for us since his arrival, is rarely responsible for conceded goals and is quite capable going forward. Nothing he has done makes me concerned about him as a player for us. No he isn't our best player on the pitch but the idea that he desperately needs to be replaced is nonsense. What we need is another right back to compete with him who can offer different strengths to give us options.

It's been ages since we signed anyone! When are we gonna sign someone? (In before the inevitable moaning.)

A bit strange that his goodbye message is in English? I mean, he's French by nationality and he's been living in Germany for four years. All he can manage is danke fur alles? I'd have expected him to at least get someone to translate it for him.

What a guy!

Definitely an Unai expression!

Just a thought....with Cuadrado moving from Juventus to Inter, does that free up Dumfries for us to take for right back now? We were linked in the Spring. He would be an awesome addition.

A right back?

This is a player that arsenal and Newcastle have wanted for a while. He is a Pau Torres level signing in the RW/CF role and will be our record signing. An brilliant edition in the part of the pitch we most needed!

Would be flop back in PL... again! hopefully not for us. Worse than Coutinho vibes 

Are emotions like the seasons in the southern hemisphere? Do they get flipped as well? Summer here, winter there. Excited by being linked to one of the top strikers in the world, annoyed by it? I can't remember a single positive reaction by you to anyone we are linked to. Who do you want us to buy?

Stop digging! Please, someone take that shovel off him!

No he means the Chelsea defenders.
