Lancashire Telegraph article on the Brittain confirmation seems to indicate that we’ve paid a 6 figure fee with add ons potentially taking it to 7 figures. Good value!

Edun will come good this season. Never got a proper run of games in his natural position - give him that and I’m certain he’ll impress

Hope or have you heard? Would be quality

He played 36 times last season and 42 the season before all in the championship.

We’re linked with a 1m move. Would be a great signing but won’t believe it until I see it.

I am tired of this.

Bowler is absolutely class. Has very similar traits to Joe Rothwell but is an out and out wide player.

Great game that - would argue based on our 2nd half chances we should of won it. Great intensity throughout. We look weak in the fullback areas.

There is no doubt that our lack of business is worrying - however it’s far from panic time yet. The reality is this season is and was always going to be a period of transition - I only feel we can properly judge JDT on next season. There are a lot of poor teams in the league this season - Blackpool, Rotherham, Reading, Cardiff, Birmingham etc etc. I don’t feel we are in too much risk of being relegated. We certainly won’t be going up. With players such as Vale, Wharton, Garrett and Phillips and Carter very much look apart of the first team picture this season I only really feel we need 3-4 quality signings to keep us on track for where we need to be to challenge next season. A RB, CB, and a CM need to be the priority with an attacker with pace being a bonus. Blood the youngsters through this season and set them up for a quality campaign, where JDT has had enough time to get across his principle of plays and then we have can have a proper go at it. GK: Kaminski, Eastman, Pears Full backs: NEW (RB), Brown, Pickering, Edun, JRC CB: NEW, Wharton, Carter, Phillips, Ayala CM: Travis, Buckley, Dack, New, Wharton, Garrett Wingers: Markandy, Dolan, Diaz, Hedges Strikers: Gally, Vale Not the strongest of squads but by no means terrible and should be enough to keep us mid table. Aslong as the signings brought it we’re of starting 11 standard I’d be pretty content with that. Perhaps a little leight upfront but Dolan and Diaz can both play up there.

Major winners of Preseason so far seem to be Wharton, Garrett, Phillips and Vale.

Archer set to go out on loan from Villa. There will be heavy competition for him but I would hope we are in the mix - JDT might even give us an edge

I just can’t see us getting value in this… esp it Malmö are going to force a decent fee.

Would love to have Khadra back. Pace, trickery and can hit it cleanly - has potential to be a very good player. No doubt his decision making needs serious work but in tight championship games he can be the difference. Would be keen on Ben Davies - class defender at this level. Only concern is that he’s left footed? Wouldn’t be a fan of two left footed CBS.

sorry must of missed this. seemed like we were set to lose out to sheff United but sounds like it could very much be on - would be a top top signing. this lad is on Van Heckes level and is an improvement on Lenihan

please!

Feel like we need one starting 11 quality attacking player who can play across the front line to give us proper depth. Definitely not a priority position for us though especially if we keep Diaz

I’m just craving a transfer link of substance…

100%. I would much rather us sign 4 quality players who improve our starting 11 that 6/7 that provide us with squad depth. The talent in our academy should be more than enough to fill up the squad, with players such as Garret, Phillips, Wharton and Vale all good enough imo to have a bit-part impact. Priorities for me have to be: 1 RB: Cody Drameh (1m) - young full back from leeds impressed on loan at cardiff last season and is available Josh Key (500k) - another young promising player who has been proven in the lower leagues. Was linked in jan. 1 CB: Ahmedhodvic (loan to buy/3m) - would be top tier signing Phil jones - Blackburn lad and great experience. Can we keep him fit? Van Hecke - could become available on loan later on in the Window 2 CM: Brannagn (1m) - 14 goals at Oxford last season. Box to box Camara (500k) - Powerhouse midfielder, impressed at Plymouth last season Jason Knight (1m) - Very Solid championship midfielder 1 Forward/Winger: Dembele (loan) - can’t see Bournemouth using him much next season Khadra (loan/1m) - has a very high ceiling imo Obvisously it looks a different picture if Diaz was the go but business on that sort of line would put us in good shape I reckon

Hate to say it but Burnley’s transfer business is look very impressive right now…

Heavily linked with Preston. Good player

According to Sharpe the interest in Ahmedhodzic is genuine with a loan to buy looking most likely. He has 2 years left on his deal. IMO this would be an incredible start to our summer business and would leave me very comfortable with our CB options for next season with Ahmedhodzic, Wharton, Carter, Ayala and Phillips fighting for 2 starting positions.

Nothing would make me more happy

Would love Khadra back

Cantwell would be a top signing - potentially the best player in the championship. However there are big questions over his attitude meaning there is a certain amount of risk. Personally would rather us go for Twine who is available for 3m. Also not snapping up Darling for 1.5m is a massive shame - he’ll be a big success at Swansea

Come on let’s not forget what a player Dack is. People writing him off at this point are just wrong - let’s give me a full pre season to get back to where he was and then, if he can’t, we can judge it.
