AVFCAM Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Fulham have sold Dembele...perhaps they'll make a bid for DB9. They'll have plenty of wonga if they sell Dempsey too... I think getting Dempsey might even soften the blow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_John_10 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I'm not seeing the players that are going to come and improve enough this season. I just hope they are going on without anyone knowing just yet. I'm very doubtful though. We've been awful in the first two games and we're signing a young lb from the championship, possibly a young forward from Belgium and for some reason a young forward from league one. Can anyone see these players stopping the inevitable beating from Newcastle and embarrassment from Swansea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Saw on Twitter from one of our 'ITK' sources that Bennett was having his medical about an hour ago, adds up with SSN reporting that he's come to Brum to discuss personal terms. Guess that's one done, time to press on now, although looks like no more defenders which is still a worry with Vlaar being our only senior defender until Dunne returns. Think Lambo may have to apologise to Warnock and Hutton in some capacity as we're going to need them I reckon. Benteke next up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepDish Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 This week looks like going as expected, with several signings. Can not understand why people thought we would not do much business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_John_10 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 This week looks like going as expected, with several signings. Can not understand why people thought we would not do much business. Most people thought we'd sign 2 or 3 players. The quality was a worry, and still is and IMO 2 or 3 players of the quality currently linked would be dissapointing and do nothing to prevent a season where relegation will be a worry.

Daniel Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 This week looks like going as expected, with several signings. Can not understand why people thought we would not do much business. I think if we had of won both our games against West Ham and Everton things would've been different. I think the two losses has shown Lerner that we are going to struggle again. He needed to get the money out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samjp26 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Expecting 2 more players in after Bennett. Well, here's one: Aston Villa are set to sign Chesterfield striker Jordan Bowery for £500,000. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football-19415192 If we sign Benteke that's 2 strikers and a left back, would think we'd be in for one midfielder or winger surely, unless beating Tranmere Rovers has made Lambo decide we're find in that part of the pitch now.

Morpheus Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I still think we will see a big (on our scale) signing come in, im talking in the £10m+ bracket. Lets not forget that PL new what he would be given before he took the job... See where your going with this and he's still available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilchard Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 One hopes that this is not included in the '2-3' players bracket. God help us if it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bose Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 So far Lambert has done very well in identifying the players he wants and they all look like good signings so I think I at least will be giving him the benefit of the doubt. There is no point being miserable about players signing without having a clue about them really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villain-from-Texas Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Why are folks moaning about Jordan Bowery? He costs peanuts and is a prospect. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this signing. If he doesn't work out, how have we been set back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
