Delap, Vinagre and Philogene are known quantities at this level. Vinagre has been promoted with wolves, Delap did OK at Stoke but him leaving coincided with his dad and Preston wanted him back so must have shown something there too. Philogene looked good at Cardiff from the bits and pieces I saw too. Lokilo seems a bit of a punt but again his record last year was decent so maybe he's just hitting his straps. Truth is though, none of us know enough about any of them to judge if they're gonna be good or ****e signings. Did hear something mentioned the other day that could turn a few heads if it happens but would think we'd need to generate funds to make it happen.
Can you imagine the meltdown on here if one of our star players’ missus was flogging things on Facebook Marketplace and saying she was moving house?
He's actually a lot better then he's given credit for, well liked I. The industry as well. He just had both hands, legs and everything else possible tied behind his back by Ehab
HOT DEVELOPMENT | According to the British press, Fenerbahçe started attempts to include 21-year-old left winger Jaden Philogene, who played for Aston Villa, in its squad.
Not seeing the signings to date as underwhelming at all. Delap - good signing. Another year older, with last season's championship experience to build on. Vinagre - we desperately need a proper left back and he is one. He has pace, and I suspect some on here are underrating him Philogene - if it is him, sounds like a cracking addition As with Delap, another year older, with last season's championship experience to build on. Lokilo - as others have said, likely a bit of a punt, but 4 in 16 in Turkey's premier league is decent, and a good age (25 by time season gets underway). Importantly, all 4 add desperately needed pace which could transform us going forward (at last). Just hope we can keep hold of Oscar, and, again as others have said, would like to still see us add that missing steel, presence, nous, and ideally leadership too, in CM (not much to ask ).
I think Delap and Vinagre are cracking signings. Happy enough with Conolly and Philogene if they happen. Lokilo I don't know anything about and whilst his stats don't look the best, happy to give him a chance. If we can add to that Twine and a decent keeper, I think it's been an excellent window. My thoughts may change if certain players are sold without adequate replacements however.
When we played Birmingham last year, Hannibal & I think it was Chong, we’re outstanding, if either are available, I’d be after them.
Even getting the players we currently have fit, should make a significant difference. I’m convinced that Shota didn’t focus on fitness at all. We fell off the pace significantly in the second half of games and I’m positive that contributed to the amount of injuries.
Worth remembering no one has said we've got Philogene. It seems we're probably interested but we could well miss out.
