Fulham must have come in pretty late if Lemina's been in Turkey waiting to finalise a deal with either of the 2 interested clubs out there.

To dovetail out from this - Blackmore & Sheldon have both mentioned that Smallbone is very well thought of... I think we will look for another centre-mid, but if wouldn’t surprise me either if we didn’t sign one.

Reed wants to be a starter.

Agree with all that. The poor recruitment basically stopped us in our tracks. I expect those 3 to all be loaned out again.

It’s like DaMarcus Beasley 2004 gazumping all over again...

Yeah, it would be a much more sensible price bracket area if you do the maths. Will be interesting to see what snippets pop up around Europe in the next week or so.

Or Ntcham?

It was always going to be a difficult deal to do (Covid / Wages / The Unsellables)

*Bump*

*Paul Bearer WWF voice*: It’s all over...

Oh dear..

Check your DM’s.

Unless we are going to have a 72 hour fire-sale, I’m not sure how we are going to generate the cash for this.

No squad numbers for Hesketh, Sims or McQueen either.

Good spot, MLG. Not surprising, I suppose. I guess we have options within the squad even if we don't sign another centre-mid.

Hoedt has lost his No.6, FFS. (Said nobody)

Was thinking that earlier too.
