That's true but there hasn't been a single link to him this summer which in a summer of being linked to every single player I would say is quite telling.

The only reason I'd want jwp back is because he could the break the free kick record with us rather than another team.

Losing kwp at this stage and replacing him with someone bang average will be a big blow and it would then be a fair argument to say that our defence is worse than last year. No idea why anyone thinks we woukd get jwp back. We are literally just signing a box to box player. Not going to happen.

Seems to me like we want some different midfielders who can perform different roles rather necessarily being backups to each other. You'd think we will still bring in a dynamic AM which is again different from what we have.

Sounds like he's a defensive midfielder. Can't see us signing him at all given we have lesley now.

It was always the most likely. Bit depressing to know our place though as Brighton and wolves have surged past us.

Let's hope so! I am going for steele to be our keeper for the season. Whoever it is we need it sorting ASAP.

I think given that he hasn't been held to account for it that he suspects it's an easy thing to say to deflect the question. He's probably right in that case. When he mentioned about specialists the other week I'd have liked someone to probe him a bit deeper with that. Why for instance did he make a big deal out of Stewart having a full preseason and that being really important and then he has zero preseason and we don't see him anywhere. Where was he during preseason?

In that vein and given that we seemingly have a decent relationship with them, I wonder if we could exploit that so they can offload one of their keepers to us?

"you'll see him galavanting and skipping over the grass next week." It's always just one more week away...

Incorrect. My original post made no mention of Soggy and in fact was made before he had made a reappearance. Wrong again I'm afraid.

Agreed. When there's other positions that need strengthening you'd imagine that's a high percentage of our remaining budget.

Glad to see you're doing a good job of ignoring the situation by not replying. Or is it do as I say not as I do again... P.S. It was three posts each so your post wasn't even accurate.

Particularly if we don't stay up. We could be rueing that as we may then have to spend more on another keeper next season in the championship.

Guess we will see. If he is signed by someone else for a similar value then we will know it was Hoffenheim playing silly buggers. If no one else takes it a punt then we can infer it's a tad more serious than we thought.

Yes it's probably the price you have to pay. I can't see us going for it though gi en we could buy Johnstone for 10 on lower wages and own the asset at the end of it. Alternatively someone like steele we'd probably just have to pay the substantially lower wages.

They already said medical today abd then announced tonight or tomorrow. Hearing nothing for a few hours doesn't really mean anything.

Arsenal looking for 6 million pound loan fee for ramsdale. Along with wages that's pretty obscene. I'd probably rather go for Johnstone if those are the choices but I can see why we are looking at players like steele in terms of value for money.

I enjoyed the relative calm and civility of the past week. Such a shame it's been spoilt again.

That shouldn't be our primary consideration.

Yes but when you kick the tyres and find a hole in the rubber you're not going to go through with the purchase...

We don't have the space in the squad to be honest. Woods, Edwards, THB, Bednarek, Stephens, Taylor. No room for any other centre back.

Where's the evidence that we were the ones to decline things?
