Sure, but with what money can we find players, that are better than what we have currently playing? Not with Venkys, that's for sure.

Transfer is imminent, but also it's not over yet. Bit contradictory there..

Pity, that means we're stuck with Pears for now. I would take Begovic over Pears today, that's how desperate I am lol

Or we move SS in the next day or so, and we see Venkys bite their teeth, and hand over the funds. But like you say Rev, I don't think they will spend anything more than a million, unless there are some further add ons in the deal

Pears is only playing, because we just dont have anybody better. Paying any fee for a replacement keeper, needs to be somebody that is better than him, and that will start immediately... We have to get this replacement keeper right, or it's going to be a long season again

I reckon the fee, will be around 1 mill to 1.5mill for JDL

He is a risk, hasn't played football in any of the English leagues. Unknown quantity

Yeh I agree... I don't think it's as close as the JDL signing... I'm pretty sure we are just at the "showing interest" stage

Is that Barrett at the beginning?

Yeh that was odd at the end. You show everybody's face, but the last 2 players..

No I think they are asking about the 2nd last player.. is that Travis? Doesn't look like it

First time I've seen a goalkeeper wearing number 9

I use to enjoy Xavi at CB when he was at Barca

That Lamine Yamal could do with some game time here for us on the wing. Should send through a cheeky loan bid

If the deal gets done by tomorrow (highly doubt it, because it's us), he could still make it. But I suspect, Pears will most likely be in goal for the first 2 or 3 games, before that signing happens

I'm saying, that the notion that Markanday will do well in league 1 is not how football works. The argument over the last few days, weeks, is that signing Gueye, Ohashi with no experience at a lower league level or any English level, would automatically mean that they would struggle in the championship. We are panicking, even before the season has started. There are players who have come from the PL, and been busts in the championship.

Yeh he ain't winger, that I can agree with.

I thought, that if you come from the PL, you should automatically smash it in the Championship etc? At least that's what some forum members make you believe should happen.. So any foreign player, who has not played in league 1 or the PL, would not do well in the Championship.

I still think that as well... He plays on the edges of the box, he looks like he can find a pass, and he can move the ball around by the looks of it. So that makes him quite versatile. Is he what we need right now? Maybe not, but, the more the merrier in terms of goal threats, if Sammie eventually does leave

He doesn't need to be quick..watch the video again, and watch how many times he scored goals, just being in the right place at the right time. He roams, he picks up loose balls, and scores..This team needs players who can get to the 2nd ball first

Actually watching this, and thinking he would be an a great little number 10 or in that attacking midfield role behind Gueye with Yuki

Bring me all the Japanese players we can get... We've seen over the years, that their work ethic and intensity is top notch..they are good professionals, plus maybe it might bring in some extra Japanese investment

Nantes fans were not happy to see him go. They said that he could have made their first team this season. I don't know what he was earning there, and what he is earning here, but I would have assumed that playing first team football at Nantes, would have been better than Under 21/s here
