Elliot only answers things he know's the answer too. Younger generation of journalists, terrified to just say "I don't know".

I think it would probably the other way. Alebiosu seemed to play right midfield for all his games for St Mirren last season according to transfermarkt

My lad watches SpudBros on Tikok. He laughs at how many times they mention to customers that Liverpool are there "prem team" when asking who they support.

Al Sahafi would definitely need one. Kapuadi we're not sure about, Any Watson said on the 17th June that he would qualify due to his european minutes, but has said today that he wouldn't qualify. We have no ESC spots left after Baradji signs.

Probably not. I imagine he is just training with the under 21's.

Yeah I think that's correct. Ohashi can be converted this summer.

Mafoumbi

I dont think we could get him in now anyway as all out ESC spots will be filled.

Would be the only player contracted until 2029 if they do, save for a couple of options. 3 year deal I imagine, for both new players.

Ismael said back at the start of the summer that Hedges would likely be used on the right this season. We certainly need another out there though.

I'm guessing Baradji would also take up our last ESC slot?

Just need Brittain's contract to come off for all Mercer's info to be true. Scary times!

I think those would be the fee's if all add ons are hit. Elliot has said in his article today that Alebiosu is only 500k if that happens, it's a much lower up front fee.

Still very light on the wings and at centre backs I hope we at least get permanent deals for those positions sorted before we start looking at the prem kids on loan.

Dunno

Completely agree. Cheap back ups though, and that's what matters here.

He says he knows the name, but has never heard of him, and google doesn't even bring anything up. Of course, he might have been told the wrong name to start with!

Nixon, on Bluesky is saying about the second player due in this week... "I can't even find him on google". Sounds promising!

Well he has, he's on loan at Doncaster for the season. Probably wouldn't rule him out just yet as Carter and Wharton needed multiple loans out at his age to get ready for this level. I think the plan is probably to go with 5 centre backs, Carter, Hyam, Wharton, "new" (I don't think there's a chance we get Kapaudi), and Atcheson/Litherland as 5th choice. Montgomery is another who has been talked up by Ismael so yeah expect him to be on the fringes of the side as 4th/5th choice in midfield.

Also let O'Riordan go. Tom Atcheson has been training with the first team squad so far in pre season, seems he is the next one they want to push through. After that probably looking at Litherland who is also highly rated.

Look for the following... Under 24 0-60 Professional games Recently relegated Cheap

Some rotten planning to only have 4 friendly's sorted. Can't understand why we didn't play last weekend after two weeks training, seems most other clubs did. Also nothing arranged between 25th July and the season starting on August 9th.

Not happening, we are incapable of signing players that would go into the first 11. No way are we paying what they want for him. Was a good article until I read that, now I dont believe any of it! Unfortunately, very soon they will be good enough, but it won't be down to them improving.

Not sure you can really blame anyone leaving here if they go to Rangers or Celtic.

Be surprised if Ohashi and Toth don't play some part, they have had a good two weeks training now.
