The Left back position for me is a priority and one I don’t think is being spoken enough about. We’ve been crying out for an attacking left back for years. Harry Amass is available on loan.

Brendan Aaronson would actually work in this system with Bilal playing deeper to receive the ball as the number “8”. Would require a bully in the base of the midfield though who’s comfortable receiving the ball.

People need to realise elite footballers unless you are named Messi, have specific styles that make them great. Thierry Small is literally the perfect mould of left back to neutralise Abdul’s style. It happens to the best players in the world. We won’t see any other left back like Small in the championship this season, he’s an athletic freak. Also, Thierry Small will end up going to the top of the game, how he ended up at Preston is beyond me. He looked special and has the profile teams dream of having in a fullback. He will be at Preston 12 months at most. The one thing I will say about Abdul, is he needs to stop trying to play it through the defenders legs, he tries 4/5 times a game minimum, it’s becoming slightly predictable and he needs to learn to mix it up dependent on the fullbacks stance.

I would have him all day long, but can see Forest demanding a large loan fee.

The fact we are playing hard ball on Bilal, makes me hope we are now in a far better position financially to negotiate and look at our own targets.

Him or Azaz would be my targets. Although Rego appears to be the choice.

I’m gonna trust Ornstein here that there’s been no bid rather than Sacha magically having an exclusive 10 minutes after Ornstein’s article.

No one’s going to pay the fee we want for Fatawu until he fully proves he’s recovered from the ACL. He’s yet to play 90 minutes.

No mention of a release clause which I don’t know if that’s good or bad.

If he starts today I think that’ll be telling if his release clause was activated.

The one thing that stood out to me too. Great feet, great dribbling ability but looks slow and the end product appears to cut out on most highlight reels which is never a good sign. I do trust Glover however, I feel the Enzo season was the only opportunity we’ve seen our scouting team be trusted with signings.

Anything over £5m, sell.

Where we seen this? Absolute robbery from us if so. I assumed it’ll be around £5m.

4 hours until the release clause expires?

Or Martyn Glover is playing a bigger role as suggested previously.

It’s interesting that at the beginning of the summer, Tom Collomose said Martyn Glover was to have a bigger role this summer & now we are actually moving players on. Any coincidence?

When you reference Bilal do you mean the information about Villa?

Is it tomorrow his release clause expires? Also who reported the date for when the release clause expires?

He looks class him, exactly what we need.

Should we have got 10 in, none of the academy lads other than Monga would have had a pathway to the first team. The squad is so bloated and unbalanced it’s a joke. We have 7 fullbacks as an example!

After the Sheff Wed and Huddersfield game I’m starting to think we desperately need 4 signings… A left back, someone in the pivot who shows for the ball, a box to box midfielder who either excels in the press or is creative and a striker. At this point I couldn’t care if it’s loans or permanents. Go get someone like Harry Amass and Toby Collyer on loan for example.

Out of interest does anyone know what Marti’s track record with signing players is like? I know he’s historically signed younger players but have they been successful?

18 days left of the transfer window by the way

Best route to go, invest the money raised into the midfield. Wouldn’t be shocked if the links to that Tottenham centre back have some substance.

Left back 2x centre mids Striker That’s on top of replacing any key players.
