If it is 2 in I’d be very happy with Lucumi and the Ukrainian lad
I don't remember that at all, thought he said we'd upped our bid to 15m and not said owt since.Did he delete that tweet about us pulling out of the xhaka deal?
I don’t think that was him think that was wade unless he also tweeted that and I just haven’t seen itDid he delete that tweet about us pulling out of the xhaka deal?
Still feel we’re short in CM and up top. Like a broken record but sign some experience - pleaseGK and CB would leave me happy. We do need others but I'd be a lot more relaxed in bringing in the reinforcements in other areas with them sorted out
He's not wrong , I'd certainly think it was a luxury if we do sign himHad a lovely conversation with a Leeds fan about how Lucumi isn't very good and he's a luxury player. Anyway.
Ah yes it was wade, apologiesI don’t think that was him think that was wade unless he also tweeted that and I just haven’t seen it
Yes mate! Too right.He's not wrong , I'd certainly think it was a luxury if we do sign him
yes was Wade that said we pulled out of Xhaka dealI don’t think that was him think that was wade unless he also tweeted that and I just haven’t seen it
There’s arguing, people being fannies about arguing and people moaning about both. Plus a bit of football.Two weeks with no signings and the board starts ****ing cannibalising itself.
Spot on, I'm not as clued up now as I was since I've stepped away from scouting so enjoying seeing the stuff that posters like @JimHeron92 @MadMackem77 @Nads and @SourPatch2 say about players as they clearly watch a lot more European football than I do now.There's been some cracking posts made on this thread over the summer, good speculation, news, rumours and analysis. I hope that continues.
Without this thread, I wouldn't have a clue what the club was trying to do this summer and I'd know even less about the new lads we've signed.
Hopefully that Brad is spot on about 2 in, hopefully 1 is a CB then I'd xhaka to be the other one
Be good to clear some of the dead wood out the squad as well as still plenty need moved on
Yep, we've got 'senior' players who aren't even in the 1st team squad so hopefully they'll all will be out soonYeah, shipping out is equally important to be fair. Squad is bloated and all income, wages help. With the ELF now starting, you would expect to see this all ramp up.

We cant have a bloated squad for the season
I know some are concerned about existing players not getting a chance, the way I look at it is - id rather bring in quality players and then find out that our lads can step up than not sign quality and find out our lads can't step up
It's a huge jump from the Championship, some of our lads will make it and some wont - the exact happened when we got promoted from L1
Those able to make the step up will have a much better chance of showing their ability with quality players around them. Some will need a bit of time to adjust as the level in training increases. Really interested to see how that develops over the season. Mundle I think will hold his place if he stays fit, Neil if he stays will come good but suspect he’ll be one who takes a while to adjust.Absolutely. If they are good enough and have the quality, they will get the chance. If they don't, they won't. We certainly shouldn't fall foul of looking to bring in quality just because a local lad is in the position etc.
A blend is important, having a mix, where possible gives that deep routed local expectation which brings the other lads into the club and forms cohesion.
Good point re the wider squad and opportunity mind. The slimmer it is, the more chance everyone gets.
Same mate, it’s a cracking thread and I just stayed out of the brawl. For a changeThere's been some cracking posts made on this thread over the summer, good speculation, news, rumours and analysis. I hope that continues.
