Genius. Bring in a worse keeper so we are all gagging for Bazunu and he looks like Buffon by comparison.

Seems an odd thing for Martin to omit no? He seemed pretty candid in reference to other players. You'd think if he was going he would have just said as much in the press conference. It will become pretty obvious by tomorrow anyway.

That's what I mean. Other than the two mentioned he said no one else injured.

If true then why did Martin just say no one injured?

That's a blow if true. KWP to play then? Lucky we have such strength in depth in that area at the moment.

Random thought but have all the professional footballers been on courses lately about how to write soppy and disingenuous goodbye messages on social media? I don't remember seeing so many but I'd rather they said nothing to be honest as couldn't care less once they've gone. The only one I ever cared about was Lambert because he was going to his boyhood club.

When we sell Lavia and Livramento it will be them.

Someone else said its an obligation to buy.

I'm not sure it's fair to say that. He could be a top keeper in the future, he just isn't now.

No. We have sold 3000 more than last year.

It may have been a surprise to him but it wasn't to anyone else.

That's laughable bollocks. He will want to leave to play in the prem and Europe. He's a professional so is unlikely to kick up a fuss if we refuse. That's about it.

I think that jwp will be going to the hammers. I think in his case its worth driving a hard bargain given how much he means to the club. I'd expect us to accept 35 and be surprised if we turned that down.

Pay what Tella is worth then.

When did he say that jwp would be moving on? I think he will but I haven't seen Martin saying that.

Isn't Charles the Lavia replacement?

What teams are you thinking of? Can't say I've looked at much of other teams this summer to be honest.

Edwards or the bloke from Everton I expect. Or that England youth player Leeds were linked with the other day?

If someone had offered us 20 million for Salisu and DCC at the start of the window you would have honestly bitten their hand off. That's probably record amounts of money in for the majority of clubs in this division and it's two players we were desperate to get rid of.

Hopefully we can bring in another cb now.

Exactly. I'm not saying it's necessarily the club's fault. I do think it's really unfortunate that we haven't managed to get an attacker and cb in at least. I really want it to feel like a fresh start and a new team but at the moment I'm worried that we will have some of the same issues from last year.

I just remain sceptical that the players who put on some of the performances they did last year will be able to perform a 180 degree turn in such a short amount of time. The likes of Bazunu, Bednarek, Adams, Armstrong x2 and Edozie will have to show remarkable turnarounds.

I'll be honest. I thought one of the few positives of relegation was the chance to dump some of these players and refresh the squad. I'm sure that will still happen by the end of the window, but I can't help but feel a little disappointed that we start on Friday with most of the same squad and presumably some of the same issues including mental fragility that plagued us last season. At best we will have 5 starting who are newish but the rest are hangovers. You can just imagine us struggling to score, someone fecking up and us conceding off someone's arse and losing 1-0, having all of the possession and no killer instinct at all.

I think he does but we don't actually know do we.

I'm genuinely surprised that no one on here has been able to have a quiet off the record chat with James this summer to see definitively if he is off or not. I'm assuming he is but surprised it isn't more widely known.
