    WTF does it matter, people were totally fixated with the word 'imminent' ...

    ... now it's 'the 5 year plan' as if it's carved in stone and means something.

    It's a plan not a promise.

    It does though. If you’re going to make a statement of intent then you should look like you’re going to go all out to back it up. You wouldn’t buy a PL club, say you want to win the title within 3 seasons then only sign players on frees. KLD has undoubtedly moved the club forward and we’re in a much better place but if you’re going to tell the fans of your lofty short term ambitions then do something to make it seem plausible.

    I'm sure we will have targets, but I don't believe we'll suddenly disregard value, which is what makes negotiations hard for us. If we value Stansfield at £5m, we're not going to turn around on deadline day and pay £7m because we're desperate. I think value is more important to us than "getting a deal done" and I think that could cost us with a week to go.

    If it happens tomorrow, that's fine, but I'd settle for Mendy and Lankshear on loan at this point rather than sell a Clarke or Hume and hope we can get something done.

    Ekwah is the happy medium though. Right player to sell and hopefully the right price.

    They’ve got enough to trouble us imo. I feel they’ve got some decent players for this level - fancy them for a mid table finish.

    You have to remember that football fans on Twitter are generally overwhelmingly stupid.

    We should do this with a lot of low value players.

    Roker Report saying somebody has come in and offered more money for Embo. Interesting. Who was it on here last night who said he was potentially going to have a reunion with Parkinson?

    Fully agree. Also some others could go after that to get better in. Rusyn for example, and I’ll get bites here but Roberts. Only if we have upgrades on the radar.

    I said Wrexham would be an ideal home for him. Good money, on the up, big crowds. He'd be a great fit

    We’ve agreed a fee and package with Villa for Mason Cotcher. Hopefully includes a sell on.
