Maybe we should bid for Ole Sæter from Rosenborg. After lengthy contract negotiations still not signed a new contract and Cagliari had a bid rejected. Not sure about the price and doesn't have much experience at the top Norwegian level so might be a one hit wonder. Striker.

Problems for him if he gets injured. He’s a bit of a bohemian, so no surprise he wants to try his luck elsewhere. Good luck.

The project doesn't rely on the coach (who can be replaced). In theory at least. I like JDT but feel he's just as naive as Tony was with his possession-oriented football that involved almost no penetrating passes. We simply don't have the players for it, from our GK and onwards.

Hate to say it but I don't think Broughton's the issue here... We're down to the 'quite underwhelming' territory by now it seems. Just sign a striker and get Vetlesen on a pre-contract deal and I'll be happy with that. Not a chance in hell we get promoted unless we additions to our starting eleven, and that's not looking likely right now.

We need a striker that han hold the ball up. We're sitting so deep now because of the way we defend that it's critical to strengthen that department.

Fair point but looks like OGC Nice were chasing Moffi for a while...maybe we were just used by Lorient to put pressure on Nice?

No thanks. Doesn't look mobile at all to me.

Source? Why would they want him?

Could it be Josh Maja this time?

Three club rule

He's made a couple of howlers but usually solid on the ball. Might be time to sit a couple of matches on the sidelines and rest up a little - has played nearly every minute so far.

Why don’t they announce it?

Signed a new contract as late as last month. Loan at best.

What the Hecke!? But who was the number one target?

Don't know why so many rate Giles so highly on here. Looked the same player for Boro as he did for us when we faced them a little while back. It's good to have a set piece specialist but we need a lot more than that to improve our overall play.

Surely this can only mean we're letting BBD go now reasonably cheap (~£5m)? Then see where we are once the summer transfer window opens. If we can add a striker now as well then that wouldn't be too shabby business in my view.

If it's BBD off now, then they most have scouted a successor for some time. I still think we need a striker and defender.

Sunderland probably in need of defenders then...

I'm guessing either Undav or Gelhardt joins before the weekend.

Looks like he's mud running. Doesn't cover enough ground quickly enough for me. Has a good engine, but that's about it. Chooses the backward pass more often than not, and not a leader in the sense that he can dictate the play and tempo of the game. Also concedes too many freekicks due to his limitations, though that's also one of his strengths; knowing when he has to foul.

Molde have apparantly made him an offer.

Would definitely take Adebayo. Prolific last season but not sure what’s up this season with him. Think he’s out of our price range though.

Didn’t realise.

He’s always their best player every time I see them play. Probably pricey and unrealistic though, but plays on the left and would be a good replacement for BBD in my view.
