    Singo just looks so ****ing Premier League.

    Would be a stunning signing for me that, he is so physical and looks fired up for every game.

    I really do hope there’s something in that one.

    Are you in favour of us signing Mepham? Premier league experience but not the fastest or biggest.

    I mean it all depends on the fee, good depth option as long as we sign at least one other centre back.
    If they want closer to £10m id probably say no.

    Mepham is max £5m for me. Any more and we'd get better value abroad. I do however place significant weight on his premier league experience and also his leadership within the camp, which is why I'd be willing to go to £5m

    Personally don't think either of these would cut it, and Davis is a mag so id stay away regardless.

    I agree with this but I reckon the majority of these players would cost £15-20m even despite the relegations.

    I'm bored back to work and he's only been loosely linked so I've gone early on the youtube highlight reels as I'd never head of him. Yes please :D

    Absolutely they would mate, suppose they are the ‘top end’ of the relegated players.

    Out of Leicester and Ipswich from last season, probably the two I'd be most keen on are the Brighton players

    Aye Enciso is quality. Not getting games at Brighton ahead of Bruda , no chance.

    call it revisionism but only harwood bellis and Ronnie Edward’s are good signings there

    This is why we’ll do better, our recruitment is better

    There's definitely loan and purchase options at Brighton. I quite like the idea of Sima (from the little I've seen of him). Seems like he'd give us options all across the front line, big and quick.

    Aye their squad is bloated with loans.

    Wouldn't rule out us having another pop at Adingra

    The whole way the leagues and distribution of money is set up is the most galling thing for me. There is no way a team like Brentford or Bournemouth or even Brighton should be a more attractive option than us. But that's the way it is and the way sky money has created this false set up. Its almost impossible for a newly promoted team to stay up which is surely never a good thing or look for the premier league.. the best league in world? My arse.

    Yeah. Versatility feels important and Adingra has that. I’ve never liked a slavish ‘two for every position’ mindset. Just means you can be knackered by a couple of injuries if you’re unlucky. This is even more pronounced with RLB. He’s not likely to change his ways and suddenly start rotating loads or using his max subs every week. He’ll need good quality players who he can trust in multiple roles. It also leaves space for growth from our existing players.

    Yeah. Also if you double up every position and go down, you are diving with financial hell.

    I think you need 2 for each across the back, versatility in the middle, and a mix up top.
