We could be the only club ever to make a loss on promotion to the Premier League if we have to pay out on all Doug's promotion clauses!

Dempster seems popular round the club. Delaney did a cracking job with Villa's u23's and was well thought of. Heard some people say this is the cheap option which I think is bollocks. Sends a good message for any organisation to recruit from within in my opinion. Get the impression this is...

Would be perfect Source is decent. Followed by David Ornstein and Graeme Bailey

Hoping we have a warm up shirt again this year. The white one with the Sky blue pattern from last year was far better than the kits in my opinion.

Generally no smoke without fire in my opinion. Often the bidding club has had some encouragement to continue negotiations.

Bit apart on valuation it seems...

Wise words. People wanting our players is a good thing. Clubs should be watching most of our players. Simms should go for a fortune in a year or two. I remember having the likes of Birchall, Kyle and Cairo on the books. We couldn't give them away!

Bit of interest in MVE it seems. No surprise.

Sheaf I imagine could command a fee of £15m + and probably wages of about £30-40k in the Premier League. If that's the case he has outgrown the club. As others have said if he goes we need to reinvest the money. Which I believe we would. The funds could enable us to bring in 4 real quality players.

Haha. I thought this wouldn't be welcome. Everyone loves a few million dropped on a foreign unknown signing but I honestly think he actually ticks a few boxes for what we need around the team at the min. Not necessarily a starter but some who could fill in when Sheaf is injured. Maybe start...

I wonder whether Matty James on a 1 year deal might be an option. Don't know where he's at fitness wise but knows the club, would provide leadership, good character and a bit of physicality.

Two assists already for Gyokeres tonight in the Portuguese equivalent of the Charity Shield. Meant to be scouts from Arsenal and Liverpool watching. First assist is immense...

Andy Turner suggesting it could be three at the back. Makes no sense. Especially with MVE on the bench.

This wasn't that bad a take at the time! Strange how on the face of it last summer's recruitment seemed logical with the 3-4-1-2 in mind... but just didn't seem to work. Tats was the signing who never really seemed to fit the formation. Amazing how the switch to a back 4 seemed to transform us.

Acknowledge there is an element of this. But think he helped them out with his pace as well. Last summer I think it was generally thought Thomas was the cheaper option who was possibly a year behind McNally in terms of development. Personally still think McNally looked better. Not sure how much...

I like Thomas. Have concerns over his concentration though. McNally was immense for us.

Seems McNally is available from Burnley. Would still like to see us in for him. Gives us more aerial presence and speed. It's ruthless but he's better than Lati and probably Thomas I think.

Interestingly a Belgian twitter page which looks half reputable saying we have an interest in Nicolas Madsen. A 24 year old midfielder from K.V.C Westerlo...

There are some echoes from last summer. Romano tweeting about Vik being fit after his knee op. He's apparently been reporting on some of his blogs how Arsenal can't afford him. Sounds like he's being used as the mouthpiece to drive the price down for Arsenal I'd say.
