Don't think we can afford to play 2 at the back with our current options. We're going to need to score 2 or 3 every game to get a result if we do.

We'll certainly have some things confirmed you'd think. whether thats "we're done" or not...

Big season for him? Played the most minutes out of anyone in the squad in pre-season, in a position we don't have that many options in, especially if Lemina and Reed both depart this summer. Current options... DM Romeu Smallbone Stephens? Reed CM/AM JWP Hojbjerg Slattery Armstrong Lemina

Wanyama was rumoured to be going to Bournemouth earlier on in the week.

Hopefully he won’t turn them down again. You’d think they’d only come back in if it was very likely to happen

Confirmed by the club

Might be a quiet one...highly likely that we won't get rid of Carrillo or Lemina and possibly Hoedt until after tomorrow, when all the prices will probably halve when the UK window closes. Ins Hoping for a CB of some sort, better than we have Ideally a DM but very unlikely Outs Austin Elyounoussi Hoedt Carrillo Stephens Forster/McCarthy Lemina

Hoping they'll end up sticking £25m down for Lemina...

Would be an odd one unless we're about to sell Cedric. Not sure why Spurs would let him go though. Cant see it

Got mine. Not sure who would ever wear that badge though

Unlikely he'd play 30 games, so get rid of that clause. maybe 15

Certainly won't be impressed if we don't manage to move anyone out and don't bring a CB in. I think we've done well in the attacking positions, I think Adams and Djenepo could both be cracking signings, but the preference should have always been a proper first choice CB. Obviously the biggest problem is they didn't think they'd have such a struggle getting rid of the players they didn't want to carry into the season...McCarthy, Forster, Hoedt, Stephens, Cedric, Reed, Lemina, Elyounoussi, Austin, Carrillo. McCarthy, Hoedt, Reed and Cedric could be squad options this season, it'll be far from ideal if we're stuck with Forster, Lemina, Stephens, Elyounoussi, Austin and Carrillo. My prediction is that Lemina, Elyounoussi, Austin and Carrillo will not be at the club by September 1st, but permanents or loans is TBD. Think we'll be stuck with the rest.

Seen nothing to suggest we even enquired, just wishful thinking by people on here.

TBF it sounds like they're relatively happy buying him, but on an Ings style deal probably for FFP or cash flow or whatever...obligation to buy next year.

Ah great thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Would amaze me if no-one came in for McCarthy, very good keeper, decent at this level, and would be the best keeper in the championship. Leeds need a new keeper, maybe they'll take a late interest?

Off to the T20 game on Friday - whats the best way to get to the ground from Basingstoke? Thanks

Gunn Valery Bednarek Vestergaard Yoshida Bertrand Romeu Hojbjerg Redmond Ings Adams Difficult to leave out JWP and kind of expecting him to leave Romeu out, but would personally play him. Could flex it by dropping one of the forwards for JWP. Wouldn't be surprised if Ralph played Stephens rather than Yoshida tbh, which would be a shame.

Should be automatically added if you have been in it previously... Code is here: bghpy8

Can't see it. Certainly going to be interesting to see where he ends up.

Yeah - he's also still pretty young...he's not long turned 25, younger than Stephens. If he can cut out the mistakes, I think he'll be ok, but thats a big if.

Do believe there is a good player in there, but like all our centre backs, they need the right partner and balance and the right player shielding the defence in front of them. I don't think we've currently good a good enough combination between any of our two centre backs and a DM, which is why we have to play 3 at the back.

Seem to remember they enjoyed themselves when they went to Arsenal in the Europa League last season.

Can't see that. Pretty much all of their players are unproven at this level. I think they'll stay up but bottom half. 16/17th maybe. It willl likely take them 3 months just to gel with each other.
