    There's a part of me hopes that these bellends get the club they deserve tbh.

    It’s been happening for years, I don’t see a massive problem with it.

    Sliding header man. Left is too easy.

    Not sure how true but I've been told Simic to Cardiff and a loan is because he didn't want to come here and sit on the bench

    IF that's true it's because Isidore is our 1st choice or there's another CF incoming

    @John Wick said he's happy with what we have to offer, not that he had chosen us. He may have been happy with what Cardiff had to offer too and they came to an agreement with RB Salzburg quicker than we could.

    Might get pelters for this.

    If Mundle plays at LW now and we have Mayenda/Isidore as our main strikers, is that the worst thing ever? I would like another striker, but it's not super critical imo.

    Unfortunately the rest of us would get what they deserve too and we don't deserve it.

    Back to square one if Isidor gets injured. He’s also evidently the cover for LW

    It's not the crisis you're reading about on X and on RTG but we could do with another CF.

    Yes and no. The truth of the matter is that football fans these days are becoming obsessed by the wrong things. It's all transfers and ambition. All of these things are byproducts. They may well increase our chances of success, but it's also possible they don't. If we sign nobody else this summer but we go up has Speakman failed? Is there really NO defence of him if we continue to win games? On the flipside, if we do go out and spend every penny of the Clarke money in the remainder of the window (and then some) but go on to finish 9th, will our fanbase remain unwavering in their view that spending was Speakman doing the 'right' thing - and keep the pitchforks in the cupboard?

    With us signing 2 central players for midfield I wonder if Rigg will be used wide as cover

    As asked previously…

    Mundle - Isidor - Roberts

    OR

    Clarke - Mayenda - Roberts

    Easy decision imo. We need reinforcements.

    I hope not. He’s clearly best in the middle of the park. Our biggest talent.

    It’s a fair point, what if Isidor has developed physically over the summer and RLB thinks we need other priority signings? He’s also happy to develop Mayenda as back up?
