That's quite a strong reaction to what I thought was a fairly straightforward observation! I wasn't suggesting anything groundbreaking - just that having someone with existing relationships at a club can sometimes open doors for loan deals. It happens all the time in football. But fair enough if...

Chelsea, have some very talented players, the Lampard connection could help us get one or two more in on loan.

If we pay 50% of his wages surely he will find a move.

Solid signing and pleased to see doug use the loan market. Surely we will get someone from Chelsea on loan too, they have a huge squad and hopefully frank and the assistant who also coached at Chelsea can persuade a wonder kid or two to come and be part of the promotion push.

Better than nothing

I am away in Spain, any idea if it will be live ifollow etc

Would not say its the last position given our only goalkeeper who would not be a liability in a key position is injured for a 3rd of the season! However, agree a loan would be preferable.

I hope the club will do something for home fans during the season like bring a friend for £30 vouchers for season ticket holders. This will allow a number of home fans with season tickets to shelter friends from the price increases.

Would really like to see some outward sales at this point. Collins Wilson Eccles (for a decent fee) Bidwell BTA (for a decent fee) Lati (for a fee) Rafael (loan or sale) If we could bring in 8 million + saved wages from the above and reinvest in a GK, CB and a couple of Chelsa loan...

How do you define backwards in the context of our summer so far?

9 points is not that bigger deficit if you look at the totals of the previous teams that came down and finished at the top of the table. Playoffs would surely be their aim?

I think you have under valued him given his age and contract status. We signed him as an unknown quantity for about 4m. Since then he has gone on to make a significant impact on our run to the FA cup semi finals and successful league campaigns. He is as quick as pretty much anyone and premier...

Club's bring in more TV revenue than ever, we also have a playing squad with quite a few assets. I agree with other posters the next couple of signings are likely to be loans and ideally I would like to see a GK in until Christmas to offer the defense a rock solid platform and a pacy direct...

He is better than Wilson. @Ccfcisparks I wonder if a sub pole could be created along the lines of "would you be happy with Wilson as number 1 until January" as that's the reality of the situation as I don't really mind him playing against Hull, but that's not really the full picture.

That's not quite how a squad works though. It's not team A and B it's fluid between the two. So we bring in MAB at LB to give MVE a rest and KKH plays right back. Also right goes left wing to give Mason Clarke a break and Simms in for Wright if a rest is needed. Where I think we lack is out...

He can play off both wings. A player of his calibre would be a very exciting addition.

For me his humour and general good vibes are the only reason I am not disappointed he is still on our books, ideally as a 3rd choice emergency goalkeeper.

Wilson is a much better personality around in the dressing room than player on the pitch. If we want to start the season well we can't be turning wins into draws due to Wilson simply not being at the level we need. Same with Collins. Goalkeepers like strikers can win or lose games and we need...

I am hoping the next signings we make are loans from chelsea who are not back from the world club cup for a week or so. Their young winger George would be a phenomenal signing and there are a couple of others who would be realistic options too. We have a manager that's it's prestigious to play...
