This is as bizarre as you wanting us to sell Drameh for £750K or loan him out to League One.

I would say we need two wingers; one permanent like Akintola and one on loan like Chouiar. I like Chouiar especially because I’ve seen him play and he can play on either wing, as a number 10 or even as a striker. Millar and Belloumi won’t be back until after the September international break which is five league games away and even then, they will take months being eased in.

And you're daft enough to think we'll make a profit on Puerta.

It was also widely reported that we valued Drameh at £1m, but nobody would pay, so £750k is hardly some crazy number.

If we sign 2 wingers, that'll mean by September we'll have 5 senior wingers and by December, 2 will be getting next to no gametime and we've blocked the path for any young kid too.

It's signings for the sake of signings again and from a country where the success rate has been poor.

He's come from Turkey so he must be ****. We need to play our confidence starved young strikers on the wings for the first 2 or 3 months. It didn't work last season so it's bound to work now.

But people are adamant we keep giving Giles a chance, so how is that any different?

The path will stay if they’re good enough though…? There is no way we sign enough players that block it before the end of the window. Brown will be in the 18 until the end of Aug at least…

How many youngsters have we brought through or given proper minutes to under Acun? Fleming under Shota is the only one I can think of. His desperation for instant success and signings for the sake of it just blocks all paths.

So that gives Brown 5 games, if the club genuinely believes in him, then that's nowhere near enough. What happens after August, does he just fade into the abyss until next pre-season? If we're going to commit to developing players from the academy, we've got to give them minutes over a prolonged period of time. I like the look of McCarthy and Tinsdale too, and whilst they don't have to start every week, giving them 15-20 cameos to ease them in is a good way to see if they're up to it.

Where has it been quoted that he has had a change of mind and is going to 'commit' to youth, they're only played preseason due to not having any players. I'm not saying it's right and I think we should be but nothing indicates he's changed his mind.

You don't have to start the youngsters coming through every week, i think we should bring them through to we have some potential talent as i said awhile back Burstow and Joseph may improve under the new manager and get a chance and i think he will give the younger players a chance Brown, McCarthy and he already likes the look of a few of them and we have cup matches to which i hope they get a chance and the manager takes serious.

Truth is we don't know what this manager will do with the squad he has but it is better he has options in case we have bad luck like we had last season.

The ban comes as a result of the club accumulating 30 days or more of late payments in a 12-month period. The punishment relates to the loan transfers of Louie Barry and Fin Burns, while the EFL has had other concerns about the club's finances, and its ability to keep up the repayment of more than £20m worth of outstanding transfer payments to other clubs.

first I've heard £20m outstanding although I don't read every post

I agree that’s what we should do early doors, if they’re upto it keep them around, if they’re not loan / develop with the first team til Jan then re assess

Basically fees we owe, but seems a bit like scaremongering to me. Nowadays you spread transfer fees over a player's contract so I've no doubt every Championship club will owe a reasonable sum out.

Ryan Giles is a natural left back who hasn't lived up to the standards based on when we signed him. When he's had consistent game time in the Championship, he's racked up seasons with 11 and 9 assists.

Burstow and Joseph may be able to do a job on the left, but it's not their natural position. They don't really run at their man, or get to the byline and whip the ball in.

And as has been mentioned previously, neither does Kamara, and I'd definitely be interested to see how he would play if he was more centrally.

And even if we sign him and all of these other players who are apparently queueing up to join us, how many of them will be ready to start v Coventry? Might as well get used to the squad we had at Stockport being the one that starts the season for us.
