So Murty's been offered a contract. Either he's a slow writer or he's still mulling it over. I'm assuming it's a pay cut from Reading, but at 34 he should be thankful for what he can get! I think he's be good for us, he's an old pro with bags of experience and could give us a couple of good seasons. I wonder if we can get a spy into the training ground this week to espy the new signings... ;-)

Not disheartened by this, and I haven't been ribbed as much as I thought I would by the QPR fans here at work. It's a long road to promotion, I feel it will happen over two or three seasons, and I think we could be in a much worse position than we are. Gillett and Mills could be the young stars of this league this season, Murty, Thomas, Davis and Perry are the experienced heads on an otherwise young team. I'm bloody looking forward to the start of the season now, and with Pardew claiming there could be one or two signings in the coming week, I'm just can't wait!!! UTS!!!

Ask me again at the end of August when the transfer window shuts, but you'd be smart to put your money on anyone but Norwich. Whaley is a good buy, and I'll be roasted by my other half for not saying so.

I'm better the Lancashire and i can do keepy ups with my overhanging belly.

3, 546, 548 will be spent on new players on Monday.

I've always had a mild touch of agoraphobia, not that i can't leave my house but that large groups of people leave me uncomfortable, brought on i think by millenium eve when crushed in London. In the past, i've only made a couple of journeys to away games when i can get friends to come, but this year i'm over it and will be travelling alone to St Mary's as much as work allows!

The speculation on here is that both seem destined for the CCC in a joint deal to Swansea. Whether that's true or not, I'd be a damn shame. They would be immense in this league, and finding players to replace them would be no small task. In Pardew we trust I guess, but I'd certainly like to see efforts made to make Rasiak feel this is his home!

No thanks, I've eaten.

I'd be chuffed to bits... ...so long as we kept Rasiak and Saga. If our team is kept as it is right at this moment in time, I think we'd be ok in the League. I still think signings will happen in the next week, but boy are they keeping us waiting!

Finally we are in a financial position to keep to talented youth! Five years late, but ecstatic!

Three quarters of a player? I hope it's not a centre back! I reckon 0, but then it's better to be suprised than to be disappointed!

I'll say it quietly because my mate is a Palace fan, apart from the link with Ryan Smith, Warnock has strengthened the front line quite well this summer. The loan signing of Freddie Sears could be the CCC signing of the summer.

Oops, SP.

Deep down in the bowels of the Tube, it never rains, it never snows, it's never sunny. But it's always ****ING hot.

I think it's rather humourous that the police spent two years surveilling the caves. They must've enjoyed getting paid for that assignment, surely they'd have spotted him in, like, the first week! There were only four caves...

Free right backs are all over the place this summer! As well as Murty and Ifil, there's also Volz. If we really want to strengthen the squad, we need two right backs, leaving James to play in his favoured position in midfield. The last thing I'd want to see halfway through the season is Thomas at right back due to injuries...

Vincent Pericard is on a free... ...ahem, I'll just, err, get me coat.

Your horse comes up with new rulings? Awesome!

Wow, August is a short month...

I've decided that signings are like Heroin. We're all waiting impatiently for the next hit! I see Peterborough couldn't afford Zak Whitbread's wages. Can we?

I'll play. Screw it, at 28 i'm supposed to be at my peak, i've played football before in the park, and despite being morbidly obese, i make up for it in spunk. I won't demand much in wages, and my missus isn't WAG material. Am i in?

With a friendly on Saturday, I get the feeling AP will want to have one training session with the new boys before the QPR game. :-) That is my intelligence.

No thanks. Yes to the others, although I think Camara and Thomas may be out of our reach, especially as Hull are desperate to sign anyone so long as they fit into a pair of football boots!

There'll be a signing tomorrow, two trialists brought in, and a loanee from a big club. I can feel it in my bones. No reliable saws, sorry.

Last season, we couldn't afford their wages and we loaned them out. This season, we've been told we don't have to sell anyone unless they don't want to stay and fight for the club. Assuming that we can't sell Greg or Saga by the August deadline, what do you think the club should do with them? Loan them out again? Play them? Or let them rot in the reserves until January? My first instinct would be to play them. They're quality. However, there is a vocal bunch on here that don't want players playing for the club if they're not interested. What do you reckon?
