Not a cat in hells chance this is happening.

Birmingham have signed that Hannibal lad from Utd with the crazy hair (on loan) He was pretty highly rated at Utd at one point?

To be honest, I'm not a big fan of it really. It just seemed like having 3 CB's in Ayala, Wharton and Hyam, it would be difficult not to play them. I know Pickering isn't great but until we sign a new LB, he's all we've got. Well, him or Edun at least.

We're not resigning Bradley Orr. (Despite him being the biggest Cunte available)

I did want to put Dack in the starting 11, as I think he still has a lot to offer. My thinking here was that if we were playing a back 3, wingbacks obviously do a lot of the attacking work. If they are putting crosses into the box, BBD, Gallagher and Hedges are all lanky buggers and might* get onto the end of something. *Probably won't 😂

Strange on not signing SVDB. His cover for RB alone would have been worth it. If we aren't signing him, a striker should be top priority. A young RB who can slot in when Brittain is injured/rested. Developed over the season would be a really wise move, if none of the U23's are up to the task. A new starting LB, would be cracking. Hopefully we can get moves for JRC, Butterworth, Edun (maybe?!).

Thinking we'll switch to a back 3 now we've signed Hyam.

Yeah, you would think so. Can Brittain play LB? Stick SVDB at RB!

Bowler is on the radar of Forest, bids of £4m on the cards. He's not coming here, sadly.

Carter generally hasn't been all that good at RB for us, has he?

Could be remembering wrong but I felt like he had a habit of signing/trying to sign players he'd worked with previously when he was here? JRC & Butterworth would love a move to Sunderland Mogga!

Hyam seems like a decent signing. And actually paying money for a CB is unheard of at this club. Must be switching to a back 5. Ayala, Wharton and Hyam should be an unreal CB trio. Shame about the LB though!

Don't see the need for Caulker if we are signing Hyam. Any funds should be put to other positions. LB, CM, ST, back up RB all need attention. Do we not have a RB in the U23's looking to make the step up? We've known for ages that JRC is abysmal at RB.

Need a striker before the window closes.

Another loss.

Really poor result this. Can't be losing at home to Stoke if we expect to do anything other than bottom half.

9-0

Wtf? Who's in CM now?

Looking that way

Morton at CB? Fair enough in an injury crisis against a league 2 team but in a league game? More mental decisions under JDT than Mowbray!

It's long old season rigger. He's the only player we have with that bit of magic in his boots.

I'd be questioning JDT's managerial capability if he allowed Dack to leave us. Even more so with the state of the current squad.

Not much in the way of goals in that front line.

Post whatever you like (within the rules), it's a message board! I was just curious if you had a link to the where you'd seen it. No bother.

We operate a snails pace. If the bid has only just been accepted, it'll be middle of next week before we announce anything.
