It’s never easy here is it. Hours after the great news about BTA we’re already selling off Wright and Simms!
Getting excited for the season now, would be lovely if we could get a Stamenic type CM in and maybe someone like that Camara bloke, would feel like all positions are properly stocked and ready to go for another long old season 
Big JH been back on the scene today, 5 mins into his return he pulls out we're about to sign Burke for 1million, then he changed it to a loan with an option to buy, this response to JH creased me 
All for the tapping up. I think these days it's only frowned upon when managers talk of other players, not so much what goes on behind the scenes. Rudoni was made well aware we wanted him, and that goes a long way, if a player feels wanted then it can sway deals.
That’s our Doug, straight to the point, ruthless.Big JH been back on the scene today, 5 mins into his return he pulls out we're about to sign Burke for 1million, then he changed it to a loan with an option to buy, this response to JH creased me
I won't mention any names, that was wrong on my part. I don't want George Smiths' Twitter to be blowing up. I will say no need for any panic, lots going on behind the scenes. I think some fans need to change their mind set, with regards to 'bench warmers' and 'first 11's' etc. That's not the aim. Rotation is key.
Why are you complaining about something that could happen next summer
I’m buzzing about this signing and even happier we are gazumping other teams marquee signings
We have an embarrassment of riches in the attacking areas really don’t we
I think maybe a quality LWB/LB in the MVE mould and we are off to the races

Knew somebody on here would know who that isThat’s our Doug, straight to the point, ruthless.
and he's absolutely correct regarding JH lol
Always three more isn’t it. I bet even Man City fans think they’re just three signings short.
Anyway CM, CB, LB

A shrewd signing, depending on what wage he's on. He's underachieved in his career so far but even at 29 he's got a higher ceiling of potential than BTA. I fancy CC to get the best out of him and quite a few of our fans to be eating their words by the end of the season.

Right - now for the marquee type midfielder. Vik is going shortly - let’s go for it.

Thank god we’ve gone for BTA and not signed Sam Gallagher like Stoke just have. How depressing must that be.
Yikes, that is a big dose of copium - which I recently found out is not a drug!From West Brom devante cole

I think it’s good to be looking ahead tbh and although I think Asante is a great signing it’ll be interesting to see what happens next season if we sell Simms, Haji or Van Ewijk. I can’t see all of them being here next season, they’ve already proven to be quality at this level and it’s only been one season so far.
It’s the main reason I’d like another RB tbh, not only for rotation, but also so that the player has chance to “gel” with us before we sell Van Ewijk for a decent profit (can only assume that’s what will happen at some point soon).
Let’s just worry about this season first mate? Haha
Ironically, precisely the kind of signing people were saying they’d have made when Wright and Simms were slow off the mark last season.
Thankfully, the last time I recall hearing the phrase ‘I’d have signed a proven Championship striker’ was Sheffield Wednesday at home in the cup replay. We have 3 strikers (Including BTA) who have 10+ goals in a season. Bang on the money!
Nice that we have hijacked a deal rather than the other way round
Now that you've gone
All that's left is Devante Cole
(To the tune of Band of Gold by Freda Payne)
They seem to have replaced their hated former owner with a very similar bloke.
Great song, which will sail right over the heads of the young 'uns lol

Honestly no clue mate I just woke up and saw this shit but hope it happens, will be really good depth up top brings something different and a great bloke attitude wise.
Mental isn’t it
Yeh so we have a great squad this season but what about next season? What about the season after that????
We’re doing some really shrewd business this summer. Mason-Clark, Rudoni, Thomas-Asante in. In the Championship you need lots and lots of goals. We look really strong up top.
