A positive I can spot is that we are being linked with Colwill despite having already signed a defender and not moved any out yet. We will need to but clearly don’t have to do it first

Chelsea fans going mad about the prospect of Colwill going, to the extent none of them believe it will happen. Annoying Chelsea fans is another big positive I can see.
 
The defender will be ABK or Colwill if we sign him. So I wouldn’t be holding out for the experienced defender you are talking about. Those other two slots do appear to be on the agenda as well. No idea who they will be though

A central defensive triangle of Salisu, Kotchap (or Colwill) and Bazunu in goal is likely to be erratic at times (but probably also amazing at others) :P
 
Losing one of our top young prospects would be huge shame, especially if it is just due to money rather than better facilities/club. It makes it worse that we pride ourselves on bringing through these players and haven't had a top player come through for ages, hope he doesn't become a "what if"!

This is what I want, would be fantastic.
Again this is logical really. Clinging on to players via loan doesn’t make sense and seemingly isn’t possible anymore anyway

His pathway is well and truly blocked. Hopefully the fee isn’t too silly though given he hasn’t played many games. If Lavia’s is truly 10m with 2 years left and not being a striker then Delap’s could be crazy. But maybe it rises to 10m

We’d still need another striker though

Could sign Delap perm, and loan in Marquinios from Arsenal.
 
Apparently Newcastle want both Doyle and Dibbling
Ffs, 2 of our only good prospects in years hoovered up by Saudi money that shouldnt even be in the game.

Don't think there is a thing the club can do either other than offer them a pay rise and promising of route to the first team, but we can't compete with what Newcastle could offer financially.

Its fine we’ll just sign them when they are 18/19 and Newcastle first team has improved to the point where they aren’t getting a look in

Don't panic it hasn't happened yet and I can't find anything to back up what St Mag has posted.
 
Does seem a weird move for them and for Newcastle. For them 6.5k a week is huge, especially for a 16 year old and they are signing for a club which is likely to be challenging at the top end of the table in the future. But a club that is rich af and wants to win things is not likely to be a club that promotes youth and gives them a pathway to first team football. And we very much are that, more so than ever it seems.
