I think we'll be happy scraping along this season. The signings so far don't scream ambition of play-offs to me, and Broughton also stressed it will take time to become a 'sustainable PL club'. So season 1 of this project will be lower to mid table with little excitement I think. I hope we hold out for £20m for BBD, that's what he's worth when looking at the fees the big guns are paying these days.

He'd block Phillips more by signing on a permanent deal. Short term Phillips probably needs a loan or two.

That's a big IF

Don’t get me started

I find it quite refreshing tbh. Football has become too sterile over the years.

A little underwhelming signing but will probably walk straight into our current team. Same feeling I got when Craig Hignett signed a couple of seasons back.

Dack is good enough as it is, the major concern is his fitness and mental state after the serious knee injuries he's suffered.

If I was third choice behind Vale and Dolhan I’d be upset too. I think Dack needs to be eased back into things, but probably should have been given a few minutes yesterday. JDT won’t appreciate that kind of behaviour though; he’s all about the ‘there’s no I in team’.

Dack isn't fully fit, so better to match him carefully.

But it does. We need more than two new signings.

Will probably be undisclosed anyway.

I would sell JRC.

Szmodics turns 27 in just over a month. Would prefer someone with a bit of resale potential if we're working out a bit of £.

Loan him out to Spurs if they're so keen.

Panic because we're trying to improve, not go sideways or backwards.

From wiki: "Massengo joined Bristol City on 5 August 2019 for a reported fee of £7.2m[6] signing a four-year contract with the club." Think he'll cost a fair bit but probably on the final year of his contract?

Duffynitely not.

Troy Parrott has gone to Preston. I'm sure he would have come here had there been interest

We’re probably making enquires left and right, that’s why the Cantwell link came up and went away again. Same thing for Bowler? Final week will be busy. By the looks of things we’re one of the few clubs without parachute payments able to spend. Could put us in a favourable position once the big dogs have finished eating.

David Thompson would have been some player for us.

They’ll try and renew before loaning out, most likely. Just like Spurs did with Markanday. Usually the bigger clubs get their way, and the player in question a nice pay rice and job security.

We’ve already missed out on one, believed to be the Bosnian who chose the Blades over us.

I think he loved it here and probably has the belief he can bring us up. If not then time is still on his side and he can make it at PL level in a season or three.

Should have the captain’s armband waiting. Fingers crossed it happens.

I think Bowler prefers the right side as an inverter winger so there would certainly be room for both him and Styles in the team - especially if BBD leaves.
