Southgate leaving has been confirmed.

We'll just limp on like this until we can't anymore. 20th August will come and go and we'll be none the wiser.

Hull have received a bid for McLoughlin from an overseas club. Another we can rule out.

Did the fans forum happen on the 8th of July as it was meant too? I hope some serious questions about this shambles of a club were asked.

I'm wondering if they want to get someone else in through the door to announce first rather than the Everton keeper, announcing him as a first team signing would be piss taking levels to the extreme, even for this lot!

Couple of years ago under JDT Hogan gave us all kinds of problems, should have had a hat trick. Had a good season too scoring 10 goals. I think it's a little bit late though for him now though, 1 goal in 26 last season.

Don't be fooled by Markandey, no where near good enough for this level. Seems to do well in friendlies and cup games against league 2 opposition, mostly second string league 2 opposition too but looks completely lost at Championship level.

What for?! He has had 8 years at it, time to move on with some fresh ideas. It's like when folk wanted Mowbray to stay on after 5 years here, to do what i'll never know.

Saadi must have signed a new deal if he is going Austria. What has happened to Eastham? Noticed he's not featured in any of the pre season games or u21 games as yet, and isn't going to Austria.

After the O'Brien fiasco, if you believe that we would have done the necessary to get Undav over the line then you will believe anything. Venkys would have pulled the plug as they always do. Diaz got injured in January 2022, we then scored 1 goal in our next 9 games. Of course we needed a striker. I don't believe for a second Mowbray turned down a striker if it was seriously offered to him.

Bradley Dack will look like an amazing signing by the time this window is done.

It had everything to do with budgets. Both January's went by without a real push at strengthening the squad to get us over the line, all down to our illustrious owners. We needed a striker in both windows and got nothing. Infact, take away the packet of buttons we paid for Semir, we haven't paid a fee for a striker in over 5 years now.

They did this to me last season when i ordered a shirt for my lad. After over a week of waiting despite them sending me tracking information I rang them up and firmly told them it wasn't good enough. The following day, for some reason, two shirts arrived in seperate packages!

Be genuinely amazed if we are capable of getting any of those over the line.

The third one will be the GK on trial from Everton.

Nothing to be positive about there. Haven't beat them since 2010, and haven't scored against them since 2014, losing the last 6 in a row.

Not negative, realistic. Begovic we'll mess about lowballing him with an academy wage if we are interested. Dykes has 2 years left on his contract and will command a fair fee, who is paying that? You? Because it won't be venkys. Szmodics new contact good grief, thts just insulting our intelligence. It's the Diaz new contract all over again. If you have followed anything to do with the club over the past year or so you will know that none of those moves are realistic.

None of those will happen.

The guy i quoted above yours did his best, but then went off in a huff, blamed the fans and deactivated his account because his bullshit was correctly called out. Even @TommyRovers hasn't made anything up yet this summer.

Weird that Nathan Jones. Spoke bullshit for ages with nothing him saying ever happening, then all of a sudden last January he said Stoke were in for Ennis randomly before it had been picked up anywhere.

Only because of venkys. How have Leeds got £40m for Archie Gray?

Where have I said that?

Duru hasn't played a senior game of professional football yet. O'Riordan has made 2 sub appearances at this level Gent has had a half decent season at a lower level than the championship save for 2 or 3 games. How can you say with absolute certainty these 3 will be good enough for a 46 game championship season? Garrett hasn't held down a regular place in the side yet and the jury is still out. Sigursson and Buckley I'll give you they should be good enough to be in our first 14 or so players next season despite having poor campaigns last season.

I know it's only a fitness exercise but has to be some concern that our second string defence conceded 3 goals to a second string Tranmere side.
