I was watching him closely in the warm up yesterday and I am not exaggerating, the average Sunday league player has better technique. Pound for pound one of our worst ever signings.

Rhys Carr not moving around enough, Ellis Simms being a pub player...clearly I'm missing a world of analysis from the warm-ups

I don't really like to mention names incase they don't materialise. My wife did tell me yesterday though that his football agency had started following the club on Instagram.

The most credible source on this forum turns out to actually be your wife?

I don’t mind a random 6ft 4 international midfielder who seemingly loves a run up field from centre midfield especially when it was reported Boro and Norwich wanted him.

Of course I’ll delete this post if it goes tits up as is the custom

Well, he's had the customary ACL injury a year ago so that's another box ticked

No idea what you’re referring to re Rhys Carr, but people are blind if they think Simms is a good footballer. He will be third choice once Wright and EMC are both fit btw.

Clearly not the worst ever player we’ve signed but pound for pound, considering his fee, he is up there. Absolute wank.

His market value is less than £1 million. Same money as we shifted Palmer on for. Seems like a punt worth taking to me.

The ultimate reveal. No, I tell her things I hear, she then does whatever it is women do where they somehow know everything about a person within minutes. She's like any other fan and loves the transfer stuff, obviously been stalking and noticed that yesterday.

Sounds great. Mention something and then let her do all the work finding out about it. You've done very well there !

He was not forced out wide, it’s his preferred position. He’s not a conventional striker, more a wide forward as part of a 3 in attack.

He’s been 100% more effective as a wide forward than part of a two man attack.

He has looked better for us on the left I agree.

However, all our strikers look pretty rubbish through the middle. I think a big part of that is not the player themselves but rather our formation/system often leaves the lone striker very isolated and with little support or service.

He has 131 career games at centre forward with 59 goals. From the left he has 40 appearances and 13 goals.

Wish he had a bit more in the tackles department though. Need some bite in midfield imo.

Honestly, women are like the FBI with that stuff, could tell me their dogs name within the hour. We'll see if anything materialises from it soon I guess. He's been scouted by Boro, Burnley and Norwich from what I know.

Could be a bargain this one. Lets hope we get it done because we badly need someone in that position.

I'm not sure if things may be a little more complex there. If I understand what he means correctly then it may depend on Lati and his movement in the window, as he can cover RB. That's why he said watch for outgoings.

Ah with you, so the CM I’m assuming is Palmer funds and Rob Holding/CB is getting the rest?

If he's like Gus, off the pitch, then we could use

Hardly random, O’hare had a season in league 2 (and was highly rated by villa) and Hamer was in the eredivise! But 7/10 for the effort you’ve made, I’m impressed

To be fair Hamer was pretty random at the time imo.
