@BCFC: OFFICIAL: Sam Gallagher has joined Blues on a season-long loan from @SouthamptonFC #BCFC https://www.bcfc.com/news/articles/2017/sam-gallagher-signs-for-blues/?utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=SocialSignIn&utm_source=Twitter

Who's impressing?

Can't help but feel this confirms what good value we got for Gabbi.

I don't really have too much of an issue with him going there. Reports up there seemed to think that Derby wanted him on a permanent deal only & we were worried about game-time for him at the other places. Brum definitely need players & I'm expecting an influx later this window. Wherever he plays the most suits me. Decent sized club, with good ambitions.

I remember Adam Blackmore randomly saying he met Fonte on the train one day, and Jose showed him an email string from the club & hinted that the club didn't exactly handle themselves greatly all the time.

It is!

If we could keep VvD, I don't think shipping a few out would be an issue....

@OfficialBHAFC: BREAKING: #BHAFC have completed the club-record transfer of Jose Izquierdo https://www.brightonandhovealbion.com/news/2017/august/izquierdo-completes-record-move-to-albion/

Just imagine if we: - Sign Hoedt - Get ONE (happy) season from VvD - Sign a new attacking player. We could be in for a great season.

That Brighton goal....

I'd love to know the truth of exactly what went on.

Not sure where it's come from, but....

Mixed bag for Reed this weekend. Gave the ball away which led to Villa's 1st goal, but laid on a lovely assist for a Norwich consolation goal.

Rudiger looked a bit shakey at times. I thought Bakayoko looked very good from what I saw.

Toby is definitely someone who I see sticking it to Spurs re: his contract. On a side-note, Harry Maguire looked very impressive for the Snakes yesterday.

Newcastle look poor don't they? Thought the only player for them who had any semblance of quality was Merino.

Any ITK updates on our rumoured interest in this guy? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvS1ptJfci8 Had a browse around on YouTube earlier and he still strikes me as an out & out striker rather than multi-functional forward. Looks more like a replacement for Shane than anything, and I'm not convinced Shane is leaving this window.

He's got a future, that kid.

Couple of updates from SSN:

Did we ever find out who this was? Taken from Noah Liebherr's instagram from ages ago.

Good question!

Was very happy with our winning goal......... I think.

Take your point, but I see a 6'2" striker & a team bombing loads of crosses into him.
