Pretty sure Wells was part of the vydra deal

Honestly if I hear Maddison is coming one more time, until there is a concrete link from a reliable source please stfu

I don’t think the offer to forest was accepted, certainly never seemed close. SSN broke it and dismantled it in about 5 minutes. I can’t see champ teams or lg1 teams loaning out their best players when they have their own aspirations to deal with. Transfers are much more attractive than loans, so I think we will struggle for quality

I’m struggling to see the benefit of a team allowing these loans you talk of, 1- they will say yea come back in January 2- why deplete their own squad when they can’t use the money to sign replacements. Means the only loans that will be available is big team u23 players, which won’t be for long term and no future fee agreed. today was the day to make our squad ready and competitive and it hasn’t happened. Think a good few are clinging on to these fabled loans that won’t happen

For me- horrific

I wish the people who claim to be itk and we are doing this or that had two strikes and they are out if they get found out to be talking utter bs. Why do that just to get comments? Should stick to actual links and who fans want not made up nonsense that just turns to disappointment

Only Bolton and Rotherham have poorer squads in my opinion, long season ahead without additions

Squad badly needed improvements, Williams, Smallwood, evans, Conway, nuttall, Samuel, downing, caddis, gladwin all not good enough for this league. Money to spend apparently and where exactly have we strengthened. Our forward is 32 now and wasn’t mobile in his prime. Even leaving is this late is a shambles. Don’t know why we have been spoon fed rubbish all summer if our perm signings are 3 unproven players at this level and a stop gap from Chelsea

Mowbray has ballsed this big time, I knew we should’ve got hurst in when we had the chance. Can only see relegation - relegation dogfight with this squad

I like chapman but I would be underwhelmed yes and fearful for season ahead. Would feel like we were promised a lot and had little delivered

Is folk taking the pee with this, every page has a comment about what about this Lithuania lad, isn’t a first team signing so enough already. Like a bad running joke

If mowbray really needs a no nonsense centre half in, Steven caulker is impressing at Dundee, 26 and looks to have the head screwed on now. Available for 1,5

Not if Williams is converted into centre half cover instead of lb starter. He ain’t too good at lb and bell hasn’t been digging up trees. Would mean we don’t need to track Bauer which we probably won’t be getting

I’d be happy with deadline day deals for McGinn, Oviedo and pitman we could then play Raya nyambe. Mulgrew lenihan. Oviedo Davenport bennet. Mcginn Dack Graham Armstrong Strong team there

Striker options for me should be Gary hooper, pitman or Conor Washington

Firstly I’d have taken a point before the game and iv not seen the highlights yet but what I’m gathering is the same issues not addressed full backs- not good enough particularly Williams. He is a liability particularly at this level. Nyambe should be sub with an experienced pro in there. evans/ Smallwood - not good enough, Smallwood doesn’t have enough to his game and his gasket is blown after a half. Evans doesn’t impose himself/ control the game anything like he should and his shooting is terrible, how many does he sky over the bar or kick into the ground. Neither should be starters Samuel/nuttall - not good enough, crying out for a more accomplished striker to ease the burden on graham. Neither of these two are the answer. raya- still makes too many basic errors for me. Does win points but throws away a lot too. mowbray- has never mastered the final 10 minutes. How often do we concede late goals and how few times do we net late winners. Difference between average managers and good ones. Hurst seems to be great at getting late goals. Overall- yes it’s great to get promotion and you feel like you should be loyal to your team but I’m afraid a few of them should have been left in lg 1, as that’s their standard. A thank you for getting us up but we have now outgrown you sorry, would suffice. It’s the nature of football. Never rest on your laurels, tough decisions must be made. Feel like Tony is trying too hard to be mr nice guy il give you a chance to some of them. squad needs a good few transfers this coming week. take the point and move on. I’d say hopefully lessons learned but they never seem to be

Nobody has confirmed that this is a perm deal

Preston seem to think they are getting Armstrong on loan just to pour some doubt into the equation

Glasgow based rover here and yes paddy Roberts ain’t that good, struggles for game time and when he does play he can be largely anonymous. Would still take him here but he isn’t that much of an improvement on Payne

You open this forum up after a couple of hours and see there is 100 odd messages, it gets your hopes up that it’s a signing, only to read pages and pages of nonsense and dick measuring. Can we please keep it relevant to transfers

I’d take all 3 of those Cardiff boys to be honest

Newcastle away to Portugal and have left Armstrong at home, looks like he is moving, hopefully to us. Rafa also wanting to move Aaron’s on, would be a great double swoop

This is the most boring football chat in the world at the moment, like a bank spreadsheet

He is far better than those two, nuttall wasn’t wanted at Aberdeen. Says enough for me. Samuel has potential perhaps but needs to use his power and pace. Morris is a beast, think he will be a prem striker one day. Also don’t tell me to relax it’s condescending and we are getting hella close to season starting. Sick of refreshing thinking a link or signing will come and nothing

I like Carlton Morris as mentioned a few pages ago, people say his goal scoring isn’t great but young players tend to start slow before getting consistent goalscoring seasons. He reminds me of Troy deeney who had a similar record early in his career . He would be a good option with pace and power
