And we're most definitely down! Surprised we're going for yet another giant striker. I hope he has a bit of athleticismathletism about him.

Good appointment I think. He has plenty of experience in the English game to help Will out. Might have some good contacts for arranging loans or signings from the likes of Brighton and Forest as well.

I really can't see us much exceeding £10m on any given player.

You're expecting us to spend €20m+ on a striker this summer? Perhaps I've misunderstood.

They would all simply bid £30m as Ipswich must accept. Then it's the players choice.

His injury at Reading came at a really bad time. It seemed like he was just starting to find some form and the Reading fans were taking to him but that patellar tendon rupture really set him back. He hasn't looked the same since.

We shouldn't be relying on Sulemana to contribute anything next season. 3 goals and 5 assists in 69 appearances (0 goals in 25 in the Championship). Jones, Selles, Martin, Juric and Rusk have all failed to get a tune out of him. Fed up of seeing him strolling about in most games (not suited to a pressing system) and only putting effort in against Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal, two of those games being end of season exhibitions against rotated oppostion. Any forward that has a worse goals to game ratio for us than Sekou Mara shouldn't be anywhere near the first team. Get rid!

The glimmer of hope that I have is that the £100m asking price was a hands off statement.

He seems quite big for a winger/wide forward. Not convinced by his athleticism but looked tidy enough.

The day Russell Martin left.

Yeah, I wouldn't want any of them as first choice. We won't need them if McCarthy is happy staying.

Heaton, Fabianski or Begovic could make for decent back up goalkeepers with useful experience but I think I'd prefer a goalkeeper that's closer to 30 than 40 as the first choice.

He hasn't been able to do a job for us in previous seasons and he couldn't do a job for Standard Liege this season.

His name does seem a bit evocative of the 1960's.

I can't work it out either. It's all well and good turning up against Liverpool and Manchester United (and supposedly again today against Arsenal although all I saw was a player with a poor final ball and a general unwilling to take his man on besides on one occasion that ended in a poor cross anyway) but he couldn't get a single goal in 25 Championship appearances and 6 Saints managers have failed to get a tune out of him. Liverpool and Arsenal were effectively exhibition games with key players left on the bench on both occasions. I've seen rumours that Will Still likes him. I was under the impression Still likes to press? Sulemana doesn't do enough work off the ball for me. His finishing is very poor. That is undeniable. He's often struggled to stay onside as well. As one of our higher earners especially, he's been proper shit. It's a very rare thing for a player that's been so poor for so long to suddenly turn a corner in their 4th season. Rare enough that we shouldn't count on it.

I've heard his xG stats are sensational!

That was his best game? Just goes to show how poor a signing he's been.

He was shit today.

He'd still be an upgrade on Manning in all fairness.

The same Leeds team we beat 3 times on the bounce last season? I wouldn't be judging that team until we see how they perform in the Premier League. I don't think much of their forward line particularly. We outscored them last season and, this season, their top scorer is Piroe who certainly isn't Premier League quality. Given they've posted big losses over the past 2 years, I don't know what their PSR situation is like but reports suggest they'll be quite restricted in the summer much like we were. Similarly to us, they'll also have to splash out just to keep their first team together as Solomon, arguably their top performer this season, is on loan from Tottenham. Daniel Levy won't make it cheap. I'm really not convinced that Leeds will do any better than last year's Champions, Leicester, especially with Farke as their manager.

“If I was looking to sign a goalkeeper, I would want to go and sign Gavin Bazunu for the way that we play. Gavin is going to be a great goalkeeper." Let's see if he stands by that comment.

Probably Bournemouth. I used to go to their home games when we were playing away back when Steve Fletcher was their captain.

That killed it.

I've never despised a team so much. Southampton that is.
