    Just had a message that Rudoni is leaving Coventry, won't play for them again and they need the money to buy more players.

    Nothing has been mentioned yet so I'll see if this lad actually knows his stuff or winding me up, Sunderland aren't in the running he reckons.

    Just my luck, first bit of info for months and I couldn't care less <laugh>

    Mayenda is going to be absolutely class, I'm convinced of it. But it's a lot of pressure to do it season 1 in the Premier League when he didn't even manage 15 goals in the Championship. Another striker takes the pressure off and allows him to develop at his own pace.

    I understand your approach to it, but it relies on putting quite a lot of faith into the current squad. I admire that, but I also feel that having read your posts on here often, being in the Premier League isn't the only thing that matters to you.

    I don't think the club feels the same way. The scale at which we've accelerated since being promoted shows the riches on offer in this league and KLD is trying to ensure that we don't give that up any time soon.

    I don't really disagree with any of your points on players like Seelt, O'Nien, Alese, Huggins etc. but I think the scenario the club are trying to avoid is getting to September, seeing that these lads are not good enough and having no open window to fix the problem.

    I think we'll go for depth and then offload in January or the end of the season if we need to. It comes with the downside of possibly having some unhappy players but I think the downside of having too few quality players is a far greater risk.

    I liked Fells post regarding the players and especially RLB not coming across as a Ranieri type. It's going to be interesting to see how RLB plays his subs in the Premier, coupled with which players can do a Browne and be happy to wait their turn on the bench. Also, us fans needing to change our views on players roles in the team... interesting times ahead.

    He would be a good signing, experienced solid GK who wouldn't cost silly money

    Would allow us to go after 2 quality CBs and a CF

    Definitely feels like his time is up at Spurs, been a class player for them but think a move would be good for all.parties

    He was poor but still had a decent return of goals, definitely feels like he is slowing now and just think with signing Kudus plus having players likr johnson his time is probably up

    Yeah Son seems to have lost some of his explosive pace, probably injuries rather than age

    I fancy Tel to surprise a few people under Frank, definitely a player in there

    Think this is the most relaxed transfer window I’ve experienced,enjoyed all the links and new faces that’s been brought in,looking forward to hopefully signing a new keeper striker and a couple of centre half’s oh and don’t forget a winger COME ON

    Got a feeling we’ll definitely hear a few things today regarding new signings. I’m sure the PR team will time it to coincide with the home kit reveal / launch to drive up the feel good factor. I’m assuming, like the away kit, the reveal will be today then on sale tomorrow??
