Any views on our strongest X1 if we get these two across the line?

So why has it taken so long to resolve such an obvious problem?

Whatever anyone thinks of NJ and whether he has any input on transfers he has been banging the drum about getting more height, pace and power into the team and he's spot on for me.

Think he'd be a disaster - Bambi on ice.

By a simple process of elimination the name of the person we sign will be Ayew.

Maybe they're already in the country.

We're getting Ayew aren't we? The rest was just the usual smoke and mirrors to allow Semmens and Ankersen to claim we tried for bigger fish but only minnows want to swim in our pond. This club is so unambitious.

Make him an offer he can't refuse. If we are willing to splash the cash for his transfer don't skimp on the wage offer. Get this over the line.

That's us out then. We'll ask to pay in instalments over 10 years.

We'll get through....God willing.

Gonna be gazumped aren't we.

It's a no from me as he is poor at long throws.

We don't. If anything our fans are too accepting of the shit going on.

Please don't let this be true.

Compared with some of the crap we've been linked with this guy looks more like what we need. Sign him up. We know it won't happen.

The only sentence I want to read with the word crisp in is that we have signed a prolific striker with a crisp shot in both feet.

If that's the case we may as well have called back Tella and saved £20 odd million.

It's looking increasingly likely we'll be enduring the normal tortuous last day desperate scramble to get deals done. Sky will have a reporter at the ground and frequently ask him for updates and he'll waffle on and attempt to generate interest by making out that deals are expected. Eventually all the lights will be turned out at St Marys with nobody signed and fans asking if we can still do loans. Then the club will announce that we had been close to a number of deals but not able to get them across the line but are very happy with the business we've done.

Basically a load of waffle about nothing. 3 days left now. Heading towards a familiar story and the same tired excuses the club make as to why they couldn't land any of their targets. SR, Semmens and Rasmus taking the piss.

Whatever he thinks of the fans he needs to be far less chippy because he does himself no favours. Get the team playing well and getting results and that will do all the talking he needs and fans will quickly get off his back. He is paid a lot of money and, as such, must be big enough to endure criticism without getting all petty and precious.

Have we signed anyone? I assume the plane from Brussels was a red herring.

Jones will play probably KWP left back and his mate Bree right back.

Then we'll probably get tonked.

Could have played one of the youngsters who would have been hard pressed to do worse than AMN and might have gained from the experience. AMN is a waste of a shirt.

Hope Jones hasn't left Lavia too spent to play on Tuesday. Not that I hold out much hope for us but we'll need Lavia at his best.
