might concede more goals this time around, but can't be any worse. Hopefully we will upset their rhythm a bit and maybe get in front.

accepted by who, the same fuckwits that suggest we do it? Just because West Ham are linked to every other player in the press doesn't mean they actually are. Their management will also be working their socks off to get transfers over the line. They don't have time to spend making `fake' bids to keep the fans happy.

maybe young, perhaps with very few senior games, but with apparent skills/attributes coming out their ears. `Quality' over `experience' every single time.

You think the management wastes its tine making low ball bids that will never ben accepted so as to look busy. Utter drivel. We may underestimate how much a club wants for a player, be outbid or simply turned down, but the idea we fake bids to appease supporters seems like fantasy to me.

They effectively had five or six first team players at the start of the window. Bought the rest of the side and competition. Exactly what you want as a fan. We had fans crying about how shit Fox et al were and couldn't wait for them to be replaced. Forest haven't waited.

If Bednarek goes, are we definitely going to bring another cb in? We have a lot of bodies.

28 total, and four u21s, but a few of that squad are likely departures like Arta and Taylor.

Every game at the city ground this season is effectively sold out, so you might be right.

Under Gao, Brereton would feel like our kind of signing, but not so sure under the current regime. We seem to have targeted a different type, higher quality but younger and thus more risk, but cheaper.

There's some great stuff in there, but I'm not totally blown away. Doesn't have the unbelievable skills of Anthony. He is a tall fella though, with a few nice headed goals. Im not sure I'd be spending £30m+ on him.

I think it's fair to say the guys we have gone for, Delap and Broja, were at least realistic. Not so sure about Ramos, but who knows if that was ever genuine. I don't want us going for players that no one else wants. You can't really expect the eventual signing to be supported with the club management's words "he was about six or seventh on our list, but we are very happy to have him here. He may not do as well as our first choice would, but we will never know."

remind me, is Ornstein on the money usully?

I am wondering if United were ever interested and the noise was just to flush out Ajax regarding Anthony.

Great stuff from AA.

I've no idea what is handball these days.

couple of nice opportunities for us in their final third, but jus lacked the quality to take advantage. We're still in this game.

Blast. Djenepo ball watches, someone in midfield, possibly JWP, doesn't track his runner.

Birmingham paid us £1m loan fee for Gallagher. Admittedly it was Redknapp was at the helm, so didn't give a fuck how much money was being spent, but might be an indication as to the likely amount we might get, ie more than £1/2m.

Shame we couldn't get him here - he was linked back in the January window. Can't compete with a club like Napoli.

I wonder which window will be the first to suggest we bring him back?

I think its been a great thread. As always, genuine links to players are few and far between, but there has been a lot of discussion about a wide range of players that would be possibilities for us or others. Shame the `HCDAJFU' monicker has disappeared though.

Tremendous drag back turn he has there, with a real burst of pace. I'd love watching him, I think, but maybe like Traore at Wolves, his tricks, pace and power are not appreciated as much by managers due to a lack of end product? He missed 30 games to injury last season though, which might explain why no one has come in for him. I would imagine his club will be slightly frustrated, and maybe creating an opportunity? The previous season he played a lot, but only scored two goals and credited for three assists.

looks a talent. Maybe we just didn't spot him?

OK. Sorry to put you out. Have a good evening.

I'm demanding?
