Doesnt even know who the players are, the amount of times he has got the player in posession wrong drives me mad

As I did with Cifuentes last season, I remained neutral on the appointment, with what we have endured the last two seasons it was almost as if - ah f**k it lets see what happens - who else could we possibly have got given our predicament. Sadly, the boards appointment is rinse and repeat, we haven't evolved as a team since Rodgers, we still play 1 up top, we still try to play possession based football with players in important areas of the pitch who cannot play that type of football, the rebuild of our club is going to take a hell of a lot longer while we have people involved in it that are only in it for business purposes or to massage their own ego. Our recruitment this season is raising eyebrows, as others have mentioned older players on lucrative long contracts, signing unknown entities and then not utilising them either to their style of football or even at all - its abundantely obvious that our better players are products of our academy because they want to fight for the shirt. Not impressed with Watson, despite him being one I thought would come good here, Cullen is useless, Chaplin is crocked and Burns I am not seeing anything near that he will have an impact at all. Want to see more of Howell and I would say McFarlane is probably the stand out of the players in this summer and while we still continue to play the geriatric McCarthy and Bobby 'I played in the Prem for Fulham' Reid as a false 9 (if you can call it that) I cannot see us improving. Top needs to get a grip if he is still in charge here, show the fans some respect and handle his shi*. Russell ball doesnt work, we dont have a plan B, fans go to work all week looking forward to seeing their team win and be successful not to fail to beat newly promoted teams and get spanked in your own bank yard to Oxford. Time to go Russell

Leicester haven’t offered him one, he told me that himself

If he’s not going, we need to tie him to a new deal and invest in him as we’ve done with the other lads. got bags of potential and we need to use him

I think someone said on here a few weeks back they saw in him in the pub and he said it's up the club if they sell Lad I work with said he was in a box at the United/Ipswich game, but that can be perceived in one of two ways, given he is a fan. I think pretty much the entire academy bar Braybrooke and Joseph have been told if a bid comes your off.....sad times

We’re on a rebuild where majority are younger players, I think this type of deal makes sense

Thoughts on Michael Noonan? Still only 18, but at 6ft1 and clearly comfortable having it into feet or running in behind might not be a bad option. Granted his goal return in the league of Ireland might not be much to go off, but a lot of people believe across the water think he is potentially as good as Mason Melia who’s at Spurs. Current market value is around €500,000

Anyone spotted him at Seagrave yet?

This alone should be the main catalyst for signing him, sick of seeing the love triangle between Okoli, Souttar and Skipp and were two games in

In light of the Okoli story and Souttars imminent departure, I did some digging to have a look around. Admittedly, this is a guy I found on FM26 and he was an absolute monster, so me being me, I had a look at him IRL. Given we need a centre half I would maybe sooner chuck money at him than at John Souttar. May be a hidden gem and not too much in the way of wages or transfer fee. Looks like he can mix it too There is also this fella, watched about a minute and saw more end product than Mavididi. Market value is 1.8m

Could be a bridge too far but this kid is only 19, estimated to be valued around £10m

Rudkin really has a lot to answer for!

If we can get this over the line and sell Soutts for a combined £18m McCarron has pulled off a genius bit of business. But while it is well and good we do need centre halves for saturday! I'd assume it would be Faes and Gray with John Souttar to arrive after the game. If we are paying peanuts for him it leaves us a nice tidy sum to go get a couple others in Enter Abdul Abdulmalik to replace Mavididi who can go take a running jump for me, I'd then go get Pepple from Plymouth or that Mustapha Jah

Like the look of this, hopefully Skipp goes to Preston so we can have this kid

Makes you wonder if we got £8m for Souttar, they bank £3m and spend £5m on a CB and a striker and go with Kevon Gray more regularly

Had a £1m bid knocked back, reading into it they want close to £2m including add-ons

I havent seen any outlets anywhere mention it, but I stumbled across him and thought he would be something very different to what we have got. Copenhagen have him out on loan at the minute, but if you dont ask you wont know I guess

Looks good in the footage but the standard of the league is questionable. 6 goals in 678 minutes across 12 appearences doesnt seem to bad on paper, but I don't think we can be pessimistic given where we are.

A little too ambitious do we think?

Wolves are mad keen on him from what i have seen, West Ham still hanging around too

Probably am, but I think theres no point in being negative, weve had enough of that the past couple years. Maybe so, but they did it with Vestergaard and Vietes, it could well pin on player sales, if we dont make enough we have to cut our cloth somewhere

Somehow think the departures are not done, i think it'll be something along the lines of Out: Tom Wilson-Brown - Stockport (Undisclosed) Wout Faes - Fenerbache (Loan to buy) Harry Souttar - Sheff Utd (£8m) Louis Page - Man Utd (£14m* with add-ons) Woyo Coulibaly - Sassuolo (£1.5m) Oliver Skipp - Preston (loan to buy) Stephy Mavididi - Rangers (£5m as part of a deal to bring in John Souttar) Bobby Reid - Mutual termination In: John Souttar - £2m Archie Collins - Free Admir Bristric - £1.5m Jayden Wareham - £2m Malachi Hardy - loan Will Smallbone - Free

Not sure how good his english would be but it would be a major media plug if he just said 'We Promote' while pointing to the badge

Thats Jurica Vranjes his agent. Expected to be unveiled today

Ross Stewart to sign for Swansea, Vipotnik is on the move, expected to be West Ham who get him
