Wow. Hope we're not seriously considering a more advanced Romeu. He may not be such a holding midfielder according to Ralph, but the defensive side of his game is by far and away his best attribute. Scored a few decent goals, but ballooned many more high and wide

Think I read that they lost 12+ players from their squad last season through loans ending, end of contracts etc. So they needed mass recruitment. Some good signings in there but MGW for £25m plus doesnt seem like good business to me

Or maybe hes getting a run out tomorrow night

With City not willing to sell Delap, I wonder if we now face a dilemma in relation to deciding on Delap or McAtee on loan. Seem to be interested in both, but can only loan one. Joe Shields will be the ultimate decision maker knowing both very well. Think we'll get Delap on loan

Just loan him then. Sign Kaladjzic too if we can

Thats the spirit 😒

As pointed out, the huge salary doesnt really matter when offset by the free transfer and J Lingz may turn out to be a decent signing for Forest. My issue (and Roy Keane's) is that hes another footballer more interested in his image/social media/clothing brand than his actual performances on the pitch. Was also supposedly the player leaking a number of stories to the media about what was going on behind the scenes at United. Dont want this nonsense anywhere near our club

Hes a gimp

N'Dicka (CB) Baumgartner (AM) McNeill (LW) Sesko (CF) Delap (CF) While also moving on Bednarek, Stephens, Valery, Djenepo, Walcott. We can always dream

Outside the top 7/8 last season, the remaining teams are possibilities for relegation at this stage. Theres always 1 or 2 teams who unexpectedly struggle, like Everton last season. Palace have recruited well since Vieira has come in but a bad injury to Zaha and a failure to adequately replace Gallagher and their season will have a different outlook.

Harry Wanks, no thanks. We've been way too passive in CM for a number of years - lets not go back to that. We've got Romeu and Lavia for defensive options, but need somebody who goes box to box

They're signing Djed Spence and also have Doherty, Emerson Royal and Tanganga who all play KWPs favoured position. Either they're planning a number of sales, looking at KWP for LB (talk of Regulion leaving) or its a bullshit rumour. Im going with the latter

Yet hes still probably better than all of our current CB options (bar first half of last season Salisu). Really hope we can move both Bednarek and Stephens on, and then bring in Colwill

Can we get Isak instead and let Newcastle have Broja

Six with an option for a year extension. Might not seem such a good idea for him if they get relegated next season or season after

If we sign Brandon Williams, that would be a step back after all the good work in this window to date. Has to be Kabore, or failing that Pedersen

If we sign Kalajdzic then we're going to want to start putting some crosses in the mix 😂

Wouldnt be so sure. Even if we bring two strikers in we'll still have the same number as we did last season. Theres also conflicting stories that Armstrong is in Ralphs plans but that hes also out of favour. Will just have to wait and see

Ideal end to the window would be In Kalajidzic, Delap (loan) and Colwill Out Bednarek, Stephens, Walcott, Djenepo Make it happen Saints

Maybe he doesnt want him. He would know him better than most on whether he would be successful in the PL

If fans on a forum said so then it must be true

I've a few mates who are Rangers fans and while they say that Aribo is great with the ball, there are games where he goes missing. Also very lazy at times out of possession which wont suit Ralph's style of play. Hopefully this link is just to disguise who we're really after

Thanks for all the years Shane. Especially those years under Koeman where he was a key player for a period. 12.5 million in 2014 turned out to be a decent bit of business for us. Age has caught up with him the last few seasons and PL level became a stretch too far. Hope he finds a club in the Championship.

You really dont want the owners determining transfers and recruitment strategy. History would tell you that its a bad combination. Clubs have other individuals who perform these roles

Be interesting to see how Everton respond with these rumours that they're financially screwed. Could be another long season for them
