Nah JJH, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

 

[Craig]

Yeah scoring against Barnsley is not a mark of greatness to be fair. I mean that hat-trick was half his entire league tally that season.

 

[Hatter86]

Luton just announced Brendan Galloway from Everton.

Another one like McManaman where there is clearly talent there but they haven't done an awful lot recently. In both cases they have worked with
Jones elsewhere so hopefully can get the best out of them.

Squad starting to come together now. Think we need a keeper, centre half and a forward and we'll be done. Maybe two forwards if LuaLua doesnt re-sign.

Leeds sign Helder Costa on loan with an obligation to buy next summer. Massive signing for the Championship but couldn't quite manage in the PL with us.

Thanks for the memories Helder.

Should suit their style pretty well, good signing.

Never heard of that before. So even if he's a shower of shit they have to buy him anyway?

Doesn't make a lot of sense, why not just buy him now?

Think it's a way to bypass FFP, we did the same with loaning Afobe to Stoke last summer and they had an obligation to buy him in Jan.

dare I say it, but it seems like we’re putting together quite a canny side. For zero transfer fees.

 

[SoutheySWFC]

Excellent signing for Leeds, hope he's an abject fucking failure.

Wasn’t that because of the weird window in the Championship where you can’t buy players after the PL window closes but you can loan them?

At least that’s what happened to Woods from us.

Luke Freeman has signed for us for a club record fee, so that's over 4m, what are peoples thoughts on him on here? The vile newspaper that is the sun are saying we are linked with pontus from Leeds too.

I rated him a few years back but seems to have potted around a bit, never setting the division on fire.

I have heard rumours between 4-6 million for him. He is a good player, he will beat a man and try something. He will work very hard for you as well. However he over complicates things and will end up slowing down a counter attack by holding the ball for too long.

He got the most assists for us, but that is to be expected as he took all corners, free kicks and played every game. I am not convinced he'll cut it in the Prem but I hope he does.

I suppose it's not really a gamble or a lot of money for a prem club, I believe we got 3m from che Adams going to saints so it's a freebie almost. I hope wilder Carrys on going for good or young championship players though hoping they can prove themselves.

Not PL quality I wouldn't say, but then Wilder does tend to do a great job elevating players.

Some of our fans didn't rate him even at this level. Thought that was harsh, always looked a good Championship player in there and he's proven that at QPR, he just lost confidence after a slow start when we got promoted. But it's a pretty underwhelming signing for a promoted club I'd suggest.

Good left foot and great set-piece delivery, but has a tendency to run down cul-de-sacs and doesn't have enough goals to his game for an attacking midfielder

 

[blademan89]

Paul coutts ended up at Fleetwood and cranie at Luton, I'm surprised no one in this league went for coutts. Cranie was exceptional every time he stepped in for us so you Luton lot should be more than happy.

Its ridiculous what he gets out of players and hopefully he can do it with Freeman, still 6 weeks to go mate till the season starts, plenty of time for a couple more "exciting" signings yet

 

[QPR_Matt]

We have signed Conor Masterson.

Don’t worry, I haven’t heard of him either.

I was Freeman’s biggest fan. He shouldn’t have been let go I said when we did sell him and I was proved right as he was outstanding at QPR. He’ll do well in Duffy’s role, I won’t be surprised if you’ve erased the game from your memory but he was taking the piss out of your lot at BL when we won 2-1 on the opening day.

 

[JJH]

Diedhiou linked with Cardiff and Huddersfield for 8-10m.....

Don’t really know what to make of it.

Was at the game but cant remember tbh. I dont look too much into other teams players really so not too knowledgeable on that front. Generally too pissed

The annual raid on Ashton Gate...

He looks like a good player and Cardiff need a new striker as Danny Ward doesn't look like he'll be staying plus we'll have some money once we offload a few players.

It's a case of sell before we buy at Cardiff though, need to offload Madine and Connolly first.

I’ve adopted that approach in the last few years as well, get a better perspective watching other players on televised games than against us.

I didn’t go, couldn’t be arsed with the early kickoff there were no trains from memory.

He isn’t bad but 10m for a striker we players 5m for and has scored about 25 in 2 seasons would be okay I think.

Swap deal for Reid or do one is what I’d probably respond with.

What position did he play when he stepped in for you?

Trying to work out what system the new manager is going to play. Last year we played a narrow diamond with the full backs pushed aggressively high up the pitch at every opportunity, from what I have read that doesn't really sound like Cranie so I'm wondering if we might see a shift to a back 3?

He played right of a back three for Blades.

Helder Costa signed to appease fans of the impending sale of Phillip's to villa is my guess , loans again and if we think Jack fucking Harrison is good enough we might aswell fucking fold

 

[Craig]

You had a good go at it Kev, time to accept another couple of years of shite and then you can have another proper try (and fail)

Enjoy that big Finnish twat

I'd laugh my bollocks off if he ends up being fucking amazing, and to think we kept Liam fucking cooper the clumsy ****
