He's definitely with a view to signing, just want to assess where he's at & if he'll fit in.

Well, that's that then! Wonder what we can arrange with a local side at short notice.

Real shame, was a good servant for us. Fair play Sunderland too for extending his contract, they knew he likely wouldn't play much if at all this season but at least that keeps him with some security whilst he attempts rehabilitation. Fingers crossed for him.

Tenner for a fucking friendly is scandalous.

Don't need to isolate if double jabbed & been in contact with a positive case.

The revised isolation rules scheduled for 16th August should make things a little easier.

We will bring in some loanees, unquestionably, it's just parent clubs are reluctant to let them go so early so need to remain patient.

We had the 4th youngest squad in the league last season, most with no prior Championship experience. I see no issue with adding some experience alongside the younger, saleable assets.

I'm slightly surprised by this too. With only the 3 of them fit he obviously has to rotate but I think Walker is the least suited of them to the lone striker role. I can only think he wants Gyok & Waghorn to play together & develop a partnership - there's been promising signs tbf.

Game of opinions innit:

Some very valid points but I was always expecting this season to be very different from a recruitment perspective. I expect Maatsen & a CB (even if it's Cranie) before the season starts, is one of those the position you mean? Once we reached the Championship, & especially now with the change...

I think Rocky is additional, still young, want to take a closer look.

Maatsen. Clarke-Salter is just us lot doing 2+2 = 5 at this stage as far as I know but would definitely fit the bill.

If he's the only CB coming in then yes, agreed. Still think we'll get the loans, just frustrating that parent clubs aren't letting them go yet but understandable at the same time.

Good, solid pro, decent defender, comfortable in possession, helps cover a variety of positions. What's not to like?

Jake Clarke-Salter played 45mins for Chelsea v Bournemouth tonight. Not sure if that rules him out of being an option. Great to see Dujon Sterling got 45mins too.

Well, impossible to know for sure but apparently still receiving £90k p/w according to the press.

Aye, at least someone appreciates him. Been good tonight by all accounts.
