Is that 5 or 6 players signed, or 5 good players signed and another one who's a bit iffy

People always say we should play Gallagher because he's great at defending corners

News from the continent. Getafe's manager, in protest to their lack of signing, has been called out for playing a friendly with two centre backs up front. It's unknown if JE will copy this, given I'm not sure we've the centre back depth to do so

The Japanese player Bristol signed who is allegedly a bit of a coup (going back previous pages) has just been stretchered off a pitch

What a day- typhoons in Japan, dodgy shirt touting and photos or Japanese footballers in airports. Anyone would think we've lost our sanity after 350 pages of nothing

He looks quality I bet he could fill the Szmodics gap

Utterly amazed people are talking about 'if' Sammie leaves. This lot would sell the mascot if they had the chance. It's a really sinister position where I am half hoping we get next to nothing for him to try and force their hand to leave faster. Selling him to keep the lights on is the worst outcome for me.

I know we signed one of the Irish youngsters we were looking after, but there was another wasn't there who scores loads of goals. Has he signed?

In fairness when Telalovic signed he came with a 9 second 100m sprint allegedly. I was expecting the footballing Andy Green up front

Straight through pears. Hope the Everton number 6 is OK

I know this is all futile and we've no money/ambition but you'd think after 2 (3?) pre seasons in Austria we may have dipped into that market. Can't say I've ever watched the league but they've obviously got decent enough players going into Germany semi regularly and you'd think we'd be seen as a step up compared to the league except Rapid

It definitely is for the women, still just about the budget for the men

Im afraid, you will have to.

You all need to think more Waggot. Think of the money saved not having to buy new letters for shirts when you can change the Garrets G to a B

If we start the season with Gallagher, Armstrong and Dykes the netting behind the goal will have to go half way around the ground

We're not at the spending stage because we masquerade as a football club. We've had scouts go out to see the player. We've probably had early talks with their team. We've let the manager start thinking about styles of play, bombing wingers and aggressive strikers. But unfortunately it's futile, because there is an intentional road block at the most important bit - coughing up for it. And that's by design - remember that.

I don't buy pre tournament many people are picking Spain players ahead of England. We've scored 0 goals from open play pre the 70th minute. That's an indictment to how we go out and play for me.

After 3 tournaments there is no justification for our lack of 'way or play'. Before the tournament no one could name the Spanish manager and half the Spain team are middling in their clubs (Ruiz, Laporte in Saudi etc). Are style of play is lack of ambition. We got the goal and sat back again - like Italy.

Wed be better with a Crosby beach statue upfront. Not bothered who comes on, just kane off before the 60th

This time last year we had Justin Ferizaj's dad ringing the club round the clock. Now we might be interested in Dykes. Where are the bizzaro crazy wonder kids

Sad indictment of the times that even the fake in the knows can't be arsed thinking of exciting signings

Didn't we sack our European scouting and 'hidden gem' scouts this summer

Dont know why we bother with Instagram. Cut out the middleman and do eBay listings.

Thousands of Sicilians let out a cry

I meant from the proactiveness. As far as I am aware the players they've signed are either ex top of their academy (Tanganga) or top of their league on individual performances at chepa rates (Longstaff and Jensen) However could easily be the 'Stoke have done good business' of this year
