Haha alright lads. Merely commenting back to a post suggesting we don't need him as we have Dolan. A lot more relevant than the drivel that's been on here recently. At least it was based on an actual rumour.

If Wilson signs, he starts ahead of Dolan for me. Dolan has been impressive but Wilson's quality is plain to see. Dolan would still get plenty of time off the bench as an impact sub & starts with rotation. Unquestionably more time on the pitch for the first team than he would've expected at the start of the season.

I sign him on all my saves & you get two good seasons out of him before his stats & form drop off a cliff. Well worth picking up especially for a promotion push.

I don't have the stats behind the season as I'm 4 or 5 seasons deep now but it was a great promotion season.

Lucas Pratto is gold

I've just had a look and not seen a single tweet linking him to us.

Couldn't agree more. We're pressing the opposition more, yes. But the big difference from last season is that we're doing more with the ball in the midfield. Holtby has been instrumental in this.

Let's not rewrite history on Rhodes. If we played our current formation & style of play with him up top, he'd thrive. We're creating chances and he's the sort of player that would finish them off. For the most part while he was here he was leading the line and making the most of scraps. If anything, we didn't play to his strengths enough.

He meant both sides as in he can do the defensive and attacking sides of the position well. I appreciate you're having a disagreement with him but it really isn't hard to work that out.

No fault of his. Came off his line quick enough once Fraser had been played through, but it was a good finish.

Absolutely delighted with the signing of Ayala. I'd argue that's the best bit of business we've done in years. At the start of the window a CB of his quality (& suspected wage demands) seemed out of our reach. Fair play to the club for getting it over the line. LB is absolutely the priority now. I'd love to see Cunningham back if a reasonable deal can be done. Given the quality of the Kaminski & Ayala signings on the face of it, I'm happy to give the club the benefit of the doubt that they're lining up someone decent for LB. Fingers crossed!

That the club can put towards defenders? We might actually get one in then!

I don't get the comment on twitter about it not being exciting though. Obviously his opinion, but if it is Ayala, I'd find that very exciting.

The team were let down today by the lack of transfer activity to date. I said to my partner at the end of the game that if we'd recruited a LB and CB, we win that game. I actually don't care what Mowbray has to say after the game. He's let the supporters and the club down by not having us prepared for the start of the season. On the whole, the lads turned up today and played a decent pressing game. But with Bell and Williams in the starting 11, we will concede goals and that's been our undoing today.

King won't be playing tomorrow.

That's some scouting network we've got then if we were tracking the Korean league. I guess him being a full international helps in that regard. Shame we missed out.

He's one of the players I thought it could be, but he moved to China in February.

Who is this left back that has gone to China? Been searching through transfers completed to the Chinese Super League and can't find him for the life of me.

I agree 100%. I think he's looked decent in flashes. He needs regular game time to show that he can be consistent, but I think it would be a risk to give him that here at the moment. Getting that game time at a lower level should highlight his quality if he's genuinely as good as people say he is and he'll come back stronger for the experience.

Wouldn't have thought we'd want to pay much more than £1.5m to bring in Cunningham. Cardiff need to be a little more realistic there I think. If it's a loan to buy arrangement, whatever fee we agree is to effectively sign him this season, as opposed to paying to loan him for a season and then he's free to speak to whoever in the summer. As we've already seen with Downing & Bauer, we can't hedge our bets on signing up players when they run out of contract. If he's the guy we want at LB, we're better off getting it done now.

I started to get triggered by his interviews last season but now I take them all with a massive pinch of salt. Whenever he talks about competition, I genuinely think he means he wants to improve the starting XI, but doesn't explicitly say it so that he doesn't piss anyone in the squad off. It's annoying, as it just ends up pissing the fans off instead!

I feel like he's the one missing out there. If he'd signed on, he'd probably end up playing the majority of the season for us. If we recruit well at LB & potentially a CM if funds allow, we won't have a need for him in those positions, plus we have plenty of young lads coming through (Chapman, JRC, Dolan) that can play on the wing. I'll go out on a limb and say that he won't be signed up by anyone before the end of the transfer window.

Would love him back.

Because he was out of contract and no longer earning £35k a week.

It would be OK to say something if there wasn't some sort of obsession around taking to twitter to confirm the rumours with every journalist going and/or brag about it.
