We seem to be linked to young Scottish players quite often. I suspect we are not alone there. Have we brought any of them to the club MLG over the last five years or so? I guess there are lots of reasons why moves don't materialise.

fair enough, but the alternative view is that we possibly have a superstar at the club, who showed exactly that in the first half of the season and you don't sell them for buttons, even if they didn't show it the entire season, and even if the lad won't commit to a new contract at this point in time. As for the negotiations, who knows if it is true that we have gone back to Everton. Might be total bullshit. For all we know Everton have come back with several new bids this week. When a big move is in the offing, so much bollocks is written. Think back to the Lavia move and there were journalists suggesting deals had been agreed at various points at all kinds of prices.

A month ago. Saint_lambden posted on the 11th July when it was first revealed by Armenian football that we'd made a bid.

I'd also give Rak-Sakyi a miss. Kone finished well, which in the end os what matters, but I wasn't sure about his mobility. Kone looked pretty good with his back to goal, but so did Downs. yet to see that though from Downs. That part of the game is a must. We need a focal point. Archer, Armstrong dont offer it.

looked a poor mans Lallana to me. No pace, like Lallana, some nice dribbling, but he doesn't have the unbelievable first touch whilst on the move, so space disappears fast.I wonder if Fellows is similar. He looks a little more dynamic, but if you don't have pace your touch has to be amazing

It looks a mess right now, but I'm hoping the last week of the window sees Diaz depart, maybe Archer or AA too. If Edozie a Dibling go, then a loaned winger or three might be in order.

There is no choice but to go for it. Its financial Armageddon after the first two parachute payments.

We need a Spertsyan creative type. I agree, another very mobile destroyer would be handy too. I wasn't overly impressed by Sesay, but a young emerging talent as backup is ideal so hopefully he can keep improving.

We aren't signing another striker unless a couple (at least) depart and there hasn't been much noise. As we get closer to the end of the window I'm sure some teams will look to loan a few.

Is Fernandes better in the more traditional central midfield role or played further forward? If it's him and Charles, then a lack of bite could be an issue.

I was surprised how poor he was last season and worried the traits he showed (poor touch and passing) would be an issue this season too. We got him for buttons and so far I can see why. I keep reading we are ok at right back but we really aren't. Its a crucial position in a 352 and Bree isn't mobile enough.

I thought he was really good on Saturday. He looked laboured in preseason and was worried his legs might have gone, but he was bright and sharp against Wrexham. I don't want to see him at right back. That position needs addressing in this window IMO.

Its a poor pass that is slightly behind him. He got there a fraction too early, adjusted and them fluffed it. I'm guessing he's right footed? I can see why he missed both but thought he should have bundled both chances in somehow.

Why have none of the promoted sides bought him is the question I ask? Have they all missed something or is he just one of those expensive championship players...like Piroe.

yeah, but more Bryan Robson than Steve McMahon.

better to have several irons in the fire in case we need one or two due to departures.

covers the annual operational losses for one year.

He's a Charles/Fernandes box to box type, rather than holding midfielder or an in-the-hole.

followed by friendly journalists suggesting we are wrong to price players under contract out of moves.

his agent seems to be working hard...well, calling a different media outlet almost every day to tout his client.

They will need two strikers...so will be focused on that more than another wide player, although I realise multitasking is possible.

A quick Google has him linked to Samsunspor, Trabonszpor, Besiktas and Goztepe...and today talk of wanting a move to Saudi.

Surprised City are selling him. Thought he did well for them.

I'm surprised City can get a loan fee for a player they don't want and when there is £15.6m in wages to pay. They seem very similar in style. Feels like one or the other.

Possibly, but he said he wanted to move to a bigger league, so seemed to be welcoming a move in this window.
