    Aye you're right, Armstrong will be the guy. Went for a reported £3.5 million so more than we thought he was worth.

    I don't rate him at all, glad we didn't get him if that was the target.

    Im with you on this.

    Big lump and very physical with it but didnt seem a goal threat at all.

    3 goals in 60 odd games, we need someone who scores.

    Find it hard to believe it would be Armstrong who would be in the same bracket as Mayenda and Hemir in that they're young talents who haven't got going yet. In this respect, the Mendy or Ugbo links are better and actually compliment the younger lads we already have.

    "Unknown striker" who we bid "£2.5m" for who played in the Championship might have been Kiefer Moore, who signed for Sheff Utd.

    Good shout, I know we were strongly linked with him in January.

    Think he has turned us down maybe twice before and we know his wage demands are pretty high, don't see it as a very us signing at the moment.

    30 year old 6ft 4 striker who scored 22 goals in 2.Bundesliga last season and 17 for Austria Wein the year before? I can't imagine we'd be getting him from Hertha at a cheap price.

    I think one of the first leaks on the Mendy transfer mentioned a Saudi team bidding 500k and us bidding less than a million. Now we're seeing 3-4m fees bandied about, wondering if this has stalled due to the difference in valuation.

    I wonder if we want to push ahead with other targets?

    Like Speakman said, we've probably got a few irons in the fire, this is good news because it means we won't be held to ransom, we still have time before the season starts as well so right now everything is good, even though I know fans want their dopamine hits asap.

    Glad the club didn’t go any further with Sinclair Armstrong he looked f*cking turd. Just a big handful. This squad is too technical to be having a big lump who couldn’t kick my arse up front. Watch me eat my words in 9 months when he’s scored 20 goals for Bristol City :emoticon-0102-bigsm
