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

If we're spending £2mill on a keeper, he better be starting, and better than Pears

As I said, I'll wait until the season is over, to pass judgement on any new signings.

Haven't been ambitious, since Venkys bought the club

Overrated

I don't disagree with that, but I'm saying that any player that signs, whether it's from a top league, or not, there is still a chance they turn out badly or they do well.. one player might fit the system better, another not that well.. When the season comes, we can re visit this discussion, as to whether it was a failure or not.

Didn't Connor Mahoney leave In similar circumstances?

Doesn't matter. There were no guarantees, that he would do well here. Plenty of footballers have done well in a league, changed clubs, and flopped. You still dependant on the players around you, or the system being used by different managers etc

Well, with our budget or lack thereof, who do we think we will get? Just find it funny, that we are once again having a meltdown, with the players we have signed, before they have even kicked a ball here.

You can't develop young players, in the way the club hopes to, when the overall squad isnt performing at a high level. It's kind of silly, to say to a young player, go out there and take this team to the next level. There has to be a balance, and the club needs to get that balance right first.

Must have hated the Sammie signing when we brought him in..

Strange post this. When we don't sign players, we question the club. When we do, we are worried about young players, who are not good enough to be playing first team football yet.. we have a good academy, but it ain't La Masia good..

Not saying he shouldn't go, but if the right offer doesn't come in, and he has to stay, then it's something that might keep him going.

Siriki Dembele down the wing

Maybe these signings, might convince Sammie to stay one more season, and then see how it goes.. If we don't need to sell him, then maybe we just keep him.

Keep Sammie, and we're cooking 😄

The Danny Batth signing is interesting, when you consider he was training with Wolves.. I would be surprised now, if we brought Fadz in, unless Hyam is off.

How is Connor Mahoney doing?

Rory Finneran to Newcastle via Fabrizio Romano

Was Friedel not a freebie as well?

Maggot

I also remember Youri Djorkaeff and Dino Baggio

How much for the guy putting in those lovely crosses? 😀
