    Lawrence Shankland going to West Brom. Interested to see how he fairs outside of Scotland. I'm not a fan personally though.

    I love Jobe but that isn't correct. 88 games for us in the Championship, 11 goals, 4 assists

    Sorba Thomas signed for Stoke

    I’m sure he’s been linked here previously

    Couldn’t agree more, we might aswell forfeit the season if that’s the attitude

    Our main selling point is pretty much guaranteed playing time. We can't go toe to toe on money with pretty much any other PL club so we'll have to get creative. Loans to buy, buys with buyback clauses or heavy sell on %'s, buys with low release clauses. We can offer players a guarantee that we will sell them pretty quickly if the offer is right, players with the correct attitude will take that.

    The signing of Le Fée gives me hope that we can attract players because of what we are ...

    ... we're a much better club than Burnley, for example, and improving all the time.

    All very interesting this isn't it, wonderful believing we may actually have a plan and the finance to implement it.

    I can't remember ever a feeling like this before tbh.

    There's a difference though, was just about if we can compete with spurs and Bournemouth for one of the most promising wingers on the continent - which I don't feel like we could.

    We've certainly got some attraction

    Tbf we are more attractive to French players now than a lot of premier league teams, concerns about language are gone when they know they'll have a half dozen other French speakers.

    We will also be really attractive to a lot of young players, just I don't think yet the kind of players spurs are chasing.

    100% there is Bournemouth are established and on the cusp of breaking into Europe, It’s just boring seeing every link being met with ‘no chance we beat x or y to them’ we’ve pulled players in that were above the level we were at before there’s no reason we can’t do it again

    Yeah I get that mate, thankfully I'm not one of those - think we've got good connections and make reasonable but attractive promises to players to get them in.

    As Sourpatch said we have to be creative and out think clubs we want to finish higher than.

    We have to believe we can after what we've already achieved.

    Players talk and those like Amad will be saying positive things about us.

    We have to capitalise on that and the positive mood around the club, players like that.

    Massive crowds, fanatical away support, great stadium, etc, can all help ..

    ... that surely helps a little if we're competing with Bournemouth, Burnley, etc.

    Hadn’t seen that, no way we can compete with Spurs.

    London, CL, prestige.

    We need to be able to compete with 3 clubs for signing. We can do a lot more than that.

    Just comes across abit defeatist to me, you’d think young players all over the world will be jumping at the chance to come here for the minutes and exposure they get as a result, money does trump that but not in every case
