Cody Drameh to Hull, Andrian Kraev to Casa Pia both official just to dead those past rumors.
Do you know much about this player? What makes you think he won't be a success as the 3rd striker/Godden replacement? What level of player do you think we can recruitment for that role?
We'd probably all rather a £5m striker over a £1m striker as backup.Stats are a bit merhh. Watched the YouTube compilation on him and wasn’t overly impressed if that was his major highlights, was quite underwhelming like other posters have said.
As mentioned, I’d rather see us go after Sydney van Hoojidonk personally as our rotation striker. Assuming it wouldn’t be a 3rd striker and that Wright would continue to be playing where he has been doing for us on LW and EMC will rotate with Wright.
Really depends how we line up but at the moment it looks like it could be 433 so there would be plenty of opportunity for that striker to play anywhere across the front three if that is the lineup which we appear to be trialing.

absolutely no chanceI have read that Besiktas would possibly be willing to let Alex Oxlade-Chamberlian go on a free. Any feelings on him as a possibility in coming to us?
Oxlade-Chamberlain set for UK return as Premier League teams consider transfer
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is set to return to the UK after Besiktas made it clear he can leave - with the former Liverpool star not part of head coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst's planswww.liverpool.com
Mark’s being a bit of a liar there, I still remember ‘we want 10 more signings’ this time last year!Classic CET. Article called “Mark Robins stance on transfers’ which ends up being a recap of what we already know and one comment from MR at the end “I don’t talk about transfers”
Utter shite that paper/platform
This time he appears to have not talked about transfers full stopHe will not talk about individual targets we are after, he will talk in general terms of positions or our own players potentially leaving. But i cant remember him talking of names until they have signed and even then he is reserved in his response.

Just read on twitter if they sell Nketiah to Marseille then they would add that to the Vik bid, looking around £60-65 million to get him I think it said, all over Arsenal fan pages aswell.It is the same with injuries. He tightly goes down the line of they will be ready when they are ready.
He is experienced enough to know not to set yourself up to fail. He may have four targets, he may get one he may get all four? He may have to wait until January or even next summer to get a target across the line.
The important thing is sign the right people. Not just sign someone because you can bring them in straight away.
Also if Gyokeres goes later in the window that might open up our options?
On my reckoning we have three squad slots left, unless a couple go out on loan or permanently. Squad of 25 and although our squad is on the young side, not many are under 21 (even Dovin is 22).

I think he'll definitely move on this summer which means more money for us! They've pretty much wrapped up Calafiori so it looks like Vik is next.
Equally, though, we need to agree ‘in principle’ fees / deals before other clubs know we’ve got it…it’s a little bit of a chicken/egg situation. Not easy.But it creates a dilemma. Do we buy someone now or wait for a better and more expensive option?
He may go late on in the window, especially if a bidding war starts?
One thing is certain we wont spend money until we know we have got it.
We needed another CM anyway and now might need another with Sheaf injured (depending on how bad it is) we need a striker and an experienced CB in the Fadz mould so either way we still need bodies in, I've said it before but I'd really like us to buy Bernede for that CM and maybe get a loan in to cover Sheaf.But it creates a dilemma.

I agree on a Centre midfielder like Bernede but a loan for sheaf? He’s turned his ankle, hopefully be back at an absolute worst case after the September international breakWe needed another CM anyway and now might need another with Sheaf injured (depending on how bad it is) we need a striker and an experienced CB in the Fadz mould so either way we still need bodies in, I've said it before but I'd really like us to buy Bernede for that CM and maybe get a loan in to cover Sheaf.
We are still short in numbers for a sustained go at promotion, so we need to use that money (if Vik finally goes) to the existing budget we have.
I know that sounds obvious but the sooner we get more in the better as we don't want a slow start like the past couple years.
I'm just thinking spending money on 2 permanent CM would take away money on the other areas that need strengthening, we don't know how long Sheafs out could be a couple weeks or few months, we are short at it is before he got injured, squad depth cost us last year.I agree on a Centre midfielder like Bernede but a loan for sheaf?

Hopefully we will see a Centre midfielder and a striker in the next week or twoI'm just thinking spending money on 2 permanent CM would take away money on the other areas that need strengthening, we don't know how long Sheafs out could be a couple weeks or few months, we are short at it is before he got injured, squad depth cost us last year.
Anyway the loan was a maybe, Sheaf might be back before the season starts and all is good and then partner Bernede against Stoke
So Sheffield United getting Sam Macullum and Harrison Burrows. Feck themSeen burrows going to Sheffield utd for 3 million
Would love to see Bernede wearing that Sky Blue shirt being confirmed as the next signingHopefully we will see a Centre midfielder and a striker in the next week or two

SVH isn't going to come to us while we can't make him first choice, he was awful at Norwich and his attitude stinksStats are a bit merhh. Watched the YouTube compilation on him and wasn’t overly impressed if that was his major highlights, was quite underwhelming like other posters have said.

I've always rated Fredericks, good player and experiencedReally want a hybrid RB/RW in the Camara mold if funds allow. We're not getting promoted with Jack Burroughs as cover. Cyrus Christie and Ryan Fredericks both available on frees.
What about Torp, Rudoni, Andrews, Allen. We’ve plenty of cover there. No need to rush anythingI think it just shows how important it is to get a CM in, whether it’s a loan, free agent or purchase. I’d opt for quality every time but of course there’s an issue of cost.
Either way we can’t have this ongoing issue where if Sheaf’s injured or tired then we’re stuck with playing Lati or Eccles there, neither of them are as good as Sheaf at that role, and as everyone really rates Eccles if he’s not playing in his usual position we’re weaker as a team.

He looks good in 1 youtube video and Vik had a mehh record before he joined us
Be realistic
If he could get back to his Norwich days form, definitely. When he played against us he was at another level. Robins was also singing his praises.

Cantwell is another example of a player who was incredible at Championship level when we first got promoted. Played as well as anyone I can remember against us. After Grealish left Villa there was talk of him going to Villa for about £40m. His form and general career has fallen off a cliff since.
