    I heard a while back we were keen but I thought it was unrealistic at the time - then Xhaka happened. Bade would be a ridiculous signing imo, I cany see it happening but you just never know

    It's getting to the point where, if people want to know what's being said on Twitter ...

    ... they should go and see what's being said on Twitter.

    Another day and another ridiculous rumour being set in motion <doh>

    The players must be dying to get home to the kids for some adult conversation.

    People might need to lower expectations on fees then, 4 at the current rate would be another 80 million.

    Small steps keep moving forward may have to be the watch word towards the end of the window

    i defo think we'll be close to that
    2 cb
    winger
    potentially another cm if neil goes
    still think we'll go for another striker aswell
    then the rb will all depend on what the decide to do with huggins

    I expect 1 to be a loan (1 of the forwards), I don't think we will spend silly money on a RB as I do believe Hume will step up. The lad fdom Getafe isn't costing too much so likely leaves about 60-70 million for a forward and a CB.

    All seems a bit all in to me, we cant expect the club to change everything in 1 window imo

    We can't but going by the way we've attacked it so far I could see 4 or 5 more coming in. I think minimum we still need is 4 (RB, 2xCB and a forward)

    Safcrepublic is another of the rubbish gossip sites that stirs trouble. I'm sure it was one of the ones repeating the Patterson rumours. Nice to see some replies calling them out, though

    You think a forward with the 3 we have? Or are you expecting 1 (Wilson i assume) to go?

    Do these people need any qualifications or do they just decide they're journalists ...

    ... like beauticians and clairvoyants <laugh>

    When I say forward i more mean a winger, we have 4 wingers on our books now and 1 in Mundle we have serious concerns with due to his injuries. Id like a versatile one too, who could play wider and either upfront or as an AM

    Actually most beauticians have to have qualifications, most of these prats just stick "journalist" in their profile and start spreading crap. Search social media for some rumours, start a few themselves for clicks and here you go. So long as they get clicks, no problems, it doesn't have to be true, just get the traffic for the advertising money.

    Oscar Bobb, can play wide RM and AM so he would be someone I'd look at on loan. I don't expect them to be able to play upfront, wide and AM - be 2 of the 3

    Yeah I’d want more attacking AM /10 who has goals in them and can also cover the wings. Being pedantic I know but the priority on that order.

    We do need at least 1 more x-factor player imo

    Id love Bakwa, a real game changing winger - Talbi can then be used on either wing

    I wouldn't be loaning Huggins or Seelt out until late in the window, after more reinforcements are in. Other than that, I would agree with Scout's list. Probably add Ogunsuyi to it, but leave Alese here.

    Roefs, Hume, Ballard, Aldarete, Reinildo, Xhaka, Diarra, Sidiki, Tabli, Adingra, Mayenda
    Patto, Huggins, Seelt, Arthur, Neil, Rigg, ELF, Isidor, Guiu

    There's your 20 for next week and that's without Roberts and Tuterov

    Got to start trimming the squad and building on what we've already got. All of those on Scouts list are unlikely to get any 1st team game time. Another RB and CB (after Aldarete) and Huggins and Seelt can get their loans.

    Would like a high profile 10. Also, If we were linked with this CF from Valencia and it happened since we confirmed Guiu, then maybe we are after another forward, like Adli, who can play across the front 3 too.

    Harvey Elliot would fit that for me, but I suspect hes a bit out of our range at the mo

    Can I caveat that with i think Rigg could be that player and we already have him

    Goals look as big and issue as defence to me being honest. In fact the way we play we’re short on numbers at the back and individual quality but I’d suggest we’d still keep enough clean sheets because of our system. Not feeling like we’ll score enough though.
