    Said all along the price was way too high for someone who isn’t involved in all the general play

    Fee was 100% too high to be paying it upfront while in the championship. Think we had the right idea with the loan with an obligation if promoted, that would've been fine.

    Absolutely brilliant!

    Maybe this is what happens when you try to play Billy big bollocks and throw money at players but fail to think about the 'team' and a system for how they play together.

    If its good enough to replay & overturn derby results....then computer games are a good enough indication we will win the treble in the next 5 years

    Mental to be sitting here talking about who we need to drop points so we can keep tight in the auto race.

    This time last year we had lost to Newcastle and had Michael Beale in charge

    Striker depth is pretty much zero right now ain't it ? AC gone, Rusyn will be confirmed today, definitely have to be active and get someone over the line.

    Aye we need 2 realistically. I doubt Reg would have agreed to Rusyn out of one wasn’t close.

    I suppose with the strength we have in midfield there’s a possibility of using Jobe up there but yeah we’re definitely need a couple in.

    I would be happy with one and another winger RW. Use mayenda up front if needed.

    Thats what i want, a natural striker and then a versatile forward but one who is good at RM

    I'm still clinging on to hope that Poveda comes good, his injury issues are a massive issue but there's a very talented footballer there and he seems to have lost quite a bit of weight so hopefully we see what he's like 2nd half of season

    I would still like a LB to come in to push Cirkin, plus if Cirkin doesn't sign a new deal then that player could then take over from him if he does leave

    Akpom ain't the answer, no where near.

    Depends mate.

    I wouldn’t fancy him as a starter, but he scores goals. Be a fantastic last half hour option.

    Has to be a loan if we go there.

    this is it like. We’d basically be swapping Connolly for Akpom. From a squad building perspective it’s a significant improvement.
