    Hell of a player, I had him above Saka at one point, shame how their trajectories have differed.

    Just logged in for first time in a few days. See Ugbo linked in press now. Although I note that two journalists from the same company seem to be using each other as validation, rather than two different outlets. I’d hope to see somebody like Sky or the athletic report on it before I saw it as two separate sources.

    On Ugbo himself he clearly scored a few last season so on paper would be a good signing. But from my understanding he doesn’t suit the pressing game at all. More of a poacher type. Will be interesting to see if it develops.

    Fulham still in for Scott McTominay also. He’d be another really good signing, I reckon

    Apologies if that came across a bit harsh @CR17 my intention is only to say it like I see it, not offend you.

    Sure they started interviews for coaches and backroom staff over a month ago. Nothing forthcoming

    I’d be happy with Ugbo. Really hope we can get it over the line

    Athletic doesn’t report anything for nothing

    had no interest in the manager hunt until RLB was appointed

    could move quickly this one

    they’re just reporting he’s an “option” mind. So don’t think anybody should see this one as imminent (yes I used that word)

    Of course.

    My point being the athletic have never shown an interest in reporting just the odd transfer story etc. It’s normally stuff the club feels can / will happen.

    So yeah at the minute he’s an option. Just interesting to me

    Valid question, why are we in August and still weighing up our options?

    I have no faith In Speakman or the rest of them at the moment, it seems we are dawdling.

    so so frustrating.

    Do you honestly believe signing quality strikers is easy? Do you think Speakman and co are leaning back in their chairs going "nah, we'll just get a striker on deadline day. Who fancies a Nandos?"
