    Neither Quinn or Boyd are capable of playing regularly as a winger at this level , I'm not even totally convinced aluko could do a job there which leaves Brady when fit , but I suspect he may be playing lb or wb next season

    Long was in the last year of his contract when we paid around £7M for him, that's too much money in my opinion. As for Jake, I would have paid no more than £6M for him.

    Any news from the inside man?

    £8m for a player who's just been relegated & is in the last year of his contract is OTT by around £4m.

    He's had two seasons in the PL & been relegated. This doesn't make him "proven". He has an exceptionally poor record of assists for a suggested creative winger.

    He's no better than what we currently have.

    This will be the second signing that hasn't improved the team despite spunking off £16m

    It's sterile and I like the taste.

    Tough to get assists when you're feeding Van Wolfswinkel.

    Although I like both Quinn and Boyd, I think SB is trying to bring in even better players and the likes of these two will be even more peripheral next season than they were last.

    I think he's a good player, and we're being snobby saying he isn't good enough. He plays in a position where we're particularly poor.

    However I really don't like him and I don't like us paying so much for him. We're forever being told how little money there is and Allam is always threatening us with "If you want these expensive signings..." Well what if we think we've been here before and don't mind if we're a bit more conservative in the transfer market, and sign the odd player who costs less than £7m?

    He had 6 assists the season before. Hardly earth-shattering, but respectable.

    Does that mean he's on a slide? He allso only averages 2 crosses/game which is pretty pants for a winger.

    Not unhappy he's coming, just think we've been spanked again & he's no better than Brady.

    He's a good player but Norwich will be laughing all the way to the bank if they get £8M for him.

    No manager is an expert at transfer dealings. The best make some huge mistakes.

    I think he'll be a decent signing, however I think £4-6m would have been more reasonable. I read somewhere that Norwich wanted £10m at the start of the summer, now that is ridiculous.

    We should've tried to get another squad player from norwich for that. Tell 'em to stick redmond in as well
