    I think you will note I have already said I have nothing against it nor did I say we weren’t taking to anyone else. I think the word prioritise sticks out in my post.

    Huge if true. Also, Hume will move to CDM long term. Looks like might be sooner rather than later

    I'm sure our search for a forward will not be put on the back burner mate, while we target other positions. Cannon seems the likely one going off rumours

    Again I have already said I have nothing against it. But if you are prioritising something then by definition it’s most important. You know top of your list.

    Yes, especially one that can play both sides. Hume is quality, Huggins can’t be relied upon and i think the club see him as a left back as did Leeds, Gooch is OK but would like to see him upgraded, then on the otherside we have Cirkin and Alese who both missed a lot of games last season.

    I’m sure it won’t Jarca, people are rightly nervous over the striker situation though.

    But like i said, if this deal has happened quicker than another it does not mean it was the priority. If there is an opportunity to upgrade the squad you take it you don’t wait around to get a different deal done

    Didn’t help that our new forward picked up a knock mate

    :emoticon-0102-bigsm So,we have Hume,Huggins,Gooch,Cirkin and Alese (injury,I know)...to cover 2 full back positions,together with O9,who has played in both.
    How big do you want the squad to be,ffs.

    Cirkin and Huggins for the left, Hume and Dagba for the right, Gooch gone and Alese back to CB.

    2 months out is hardly a knock mind.
    What I was kind of getting at with my original post, and Confucius has alluded to aswell is if this to be believed then our next signing is going to be another defender, of which we are covered quite well, will command a fee etc. And we're probably starting the season with one striker.
    We'll end up with a squad of about 40, with only one available striker!

    You also can’t just overload with defenders because they are available

    Ok,so you're moving one out and another to a different position,which is already well covered. I think we have other more pressing priorities mate.

    Linked with someone who would arguably be the best RB in the league and people aren’t happy because we’ve already got Gooch :emoticon-0102-bigsm:emoticon-0102-bigsm:emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Sceptical for that reason alone but would be an incredible signing if it happened.
