Just logged in for first time in a few days. See Ugbo linked in press now. Although I note that two journalists from the same company seem to be using each other as validation, rather than two different outlets. I’d hope to see somebody like Sky or the athletic report on it before I saw it as two separate sources.

On Ugbo himself he clearly scored a few last season so on paper would be a good signing. But from my understanding he doesn’t suit the pressing game at all. More of a poacher type. Will be interesting to see if it develops.

Scott Wilson's article seems to have a lot more info which I posted above, seems like we have switched from Mendy to Ugbo
They’re quite different players playing style wis. Think there’s a good we’ll be after both.
 
Fulham still in for Scott McTominay also. He’d be another really good signing, I reckon

Not sure how it will go this season. Big positives with Ballard and Rigg signing. The club also is in no hurry to take the slightest offer for our best players also a big step in the right direction.

Huge doubts creeping in again over the fact Dodds and Proctor are hanging round the new manager who hasn't as yet brought any of his own coaches in as far as I'm aware.

The lack of a competent centre forward being acquired since the signing of Stewart and loan signing of Simms is going to hinder the team a lot. Will probably cost us 15-20 points if not addressed imo.

We aren't far away from pushing for play offs but won't if the striker isn't bought and the manager doesn't get his own assistant in is my feeling at the minute.
Sure they started interviews for coaches and backroom staff over a month ago. Nothing forthcoming

they’re just reporting he’s an “option” mind. So don’t think anybody should see this one as imminent (yes I used that word)
Of course.

My point being the athletic have never shown an interest in reporting just the odd transfer story etc. It’s normally stuff the club feels can / will happen.

So yeah at the minute he’s an option. Just interesting to me
 
Valid question, why are we in August and still weighing up our options?

I have no faith In Speakman or the rest of them at the moment, it seems we are dawdling.

so so frustrating.
Do you honestly believe signing quality strikers is easy? Do you think Speakman and co are leaning back in their chairs going "nah, we'll just get a striker on deadline day. Who fancies a Nandos?"
