I had him in the 1st team against Norwich in place of Torp (assuming no Sheaf). Oh well

Can't see either moving, altho Hamer more likely. Is Viktor's release clause set too high? He is really worth less than £100m because Sporting Lisbon play so many easy fixtures, it downgrades his achievement. If he was in Italy it would be different. Even rich clubs baulk at paying top dollar...

For the those muppets complaining about how poor the window has been... Apart from all the new arrivals that have come, as the Browne and Stamenic sagas illustrate it is a highly competitive world out there with a lot of stakeholders - the player, his agent, the selling club, other clubs...

not as big as Burnley. They are a bigger club in over time and recently

Surely Burnley will want billing. They have lost several players and will have more cash than we do

Don't care. Could sign for Leicester or Villa for all I care. We need the cash and shall not be playing against any of them this year. Any other consideration shows a lack of brain

Is the problem with moving people out that because we have shown they don't cut the mustard at Championship level then the most likely route out is to a lower league and that means a drop in salary? Moore obviously took that view and got a move within the Championship. Is this Collins position...

Those who are the most likely to break into the first team against Norwich should play EMC (for Saka) Palmer (for Torp) Thomas (for Lati, altho it's not going to happen I dream) I suggest keeping Simms in. Might get a confidence boosting goal. Otherwise not fussed

Thought the Oxford ref pretty good. Played a lot of play on

Bristol may be a good side but they have not made the play offs since promotion to the Championship in 2016. They are not feared in the way Leeds and dare I say Leicester were last year, and we got something somewhat surprisingly at one of those and should have at the other. They have lost...

Everton recently bought a 9 year old from Crewe for £25k. So should get something. The parents often get something

No he isn't on the basis of what we saw at Oxford. Or at least not a central one - looks like an attacking midfielder to me

A further thought that 3 out of 4 signings are a bit left field. Rudoni makes complete sense - O'Hare replacement. But - EMC, a marquee signing, plays on the left where we already have a marquee signing - BTA is a midfielder in a side now choc full of midfielders (unless Palmer goes) - Fred...

I do hope this does not end like Preston buying Bayliss. Promising star costs money, languishes in the U21's, doesn't fulfill his promise, sold at a loss 3 years later. The key thing is how much of the fee is upfront as that is the risk element.

Still think they are very powerful and that draw there last year was probably the best and most unlikely result of the season

Can't see us keeping a clean sheet. Can see us scoring goals. God knows which way it will go. Except against the really big clubs like Leeds I always think we have a chance of a win. Key decisions Bidwell v Da Silva - Bidwell every time, even off form, and particularly away from home Central...

We appear to have two marquee signings in one position. I remain puzzled that we spend a couple of million on a bench warmer. Dunno where you get the paranoia idea from. In the two areas most identified on here, we actually have 6 players covering three positions all of whom are either of an...

If this has been said already sorry but... At one point on Friday in the 2nd half Haji had a long cross field ball coming towards him and had a marker right on his back. He controlled the ball perfectly on his chest, killing the pace of it instantly, then turned and left the defender for dead...

There is a consensus, as far as I can see, that we need strengthening in central midfield and central defence. The problem is that both those areas are covered by either recently acquired players or a strong established pairing All four central defenders have been acquired in the last 15...

My only concern about Dovin, allowing for the fact he was barely tested, came in the first half when dealing with a fairly tame cross from the left. He allowed Binks unchallenged to head it out for a corner from inside the 6 yard box. I would love a keeper to come and really get those. I can't...
