Lee Gregory is an upgrade on Collins and Waghorn tbh. A proper centre forward who can hold up and actually get himself in the box. If its until the end of the season I am more than happy with that addition.

What was the waka waka song lyrics for John Jules on Saturday? Couldn't make it out, but will definitely catch on

Make the derby fans go insane, 

John-Jules will score again 

In the few minutes we've seen of him, he hasn't just shown the pace we was expecting, hes showed clinical finishing which is priceless. If he is a free at the end of the season, we need to be doing everything to convince him to stay here. I would rather a young player with some injuries behind him and bags of potential...than an older player with injuries behind them and declining. He is exactly what we need to be looking at when building a team. 

Corey Blackett-Taylor - out of contract end of season

Mumbama - loan

Jake Young - Cheeky bid to Bradford to take him off swindons hands. 

Tom Bayliss - potentially out of contract (1 year option)

Che Dunkley - out of contract end of season

Its hard to be consistent when  you aren't given a consistent run. Especially when  you are played out of your favoured position.

Man beats Lincoln reserves 2-0 and is all of a sudden Pep Guardiola.

Can’t wait for 5 at the back this weekend and a 1-0 defeat

Absolutley no one is calling him Pep Guardiola. 

Just the league 1 Guardiola

Don't want any more players like this. 

Like what ? 

Vaulks is a good midfielder. If we got him and JCH (based on rumours) we can announce championship football next season

They probably mean towards fees we owe. As in the end of Beilik fee

It ACTUALLY says Brighton are in talks about him. NOT that Cashin has personally held talks with them. A completely different scenario.

Okay I didn’t say anything different to that ? I just said if he does, fair play ?

From NewsNow quoting Mike McGrath of Daily Telegraph:Derby County defender Eiran Cashin has held talks with Premier League side Brighton Hove Albion ahead of a possible summer switch, according to journalist Mike McGrath. 

The 21-year-old has been the subject of serious interest throughout the summer window so far, with both Brighton and Norwich being linked on several occasions.

If he goes, fair play to him. I will be happy for him. I hope we do get the 3+ quoted and i hope he comes back on loan. Its a win win for all involved. 

For 3m would we not be better going for the likes of Sam Nombe over JCH. Younger, more potential and just as dangerous. 

I dont see the point in singing JCH if hes going for any more than 1m because its money lost at the end

Scored against us for Morecambe last season.

Can we beat off fellow L1 competition though? 

Makes me sad that this is even being said. No offence to any other team in the league but we should be youngsters first choice

Might give us a real presence in the box and could blend well with Washington.

 

or...2 big barstools in the box heading in every ward (beckham) cross

Current central midfield options in the first team are Bird, Hourihane, Smith and Thompson, with Rooney able to do a job there as he has previously under Warne. There’s then Robinson (highly rated but young) and Radcliffe (looks a physical beast for 19 years old) in the u21s who could step up. 
Ideally we’d add another senior pro on a free or loan. Dennis Adeniran who was a part of the Wendies squad the last couple of seasons and only 24 could be a shout or the other free agent that stood out to me is Cameron McGeehan, he’s 28 and has been playing in Belgium’s top flight for 3 years, before which he was at Portsmouth, Barnsley and Luton. 

I get your point. I don’t personally feel the likes of Rooney, Thompson, Robinson and Radcliffe are good enough options for top 2.

Who's your top 2 then 

Bolton and Portsmouth

Thommo can stand in and do a job far better than at WB and Rooney is more than comfortable at DM but in principle you’re right, we could do with a decent all rounder and a bit of heading ability in with it would help in to the bargain. Knights ability to chase and break up play will be missed if we get injuries.

We have Tommo and Johnson too. I'd also gamble on playing Cashin in front of the back line. Let him run around like a nutter and win the ball.

But yeah, we'd probably need more bodies in.

I like tommo, but similarly to Robinson it’s a big risk and ask for him to play key parts of the season. 

Just put this in transfer suggestion thread but thought it was suitable for a new topic. 

Does anyone else think strengthening the central midfield is just as/if not more important than the strikers. We have a 50+ game season and we have Smith, Hourihane and Bird as our midfield. Sibley isn't really a central midfielder and Robinson is just a kid. That trio won't last without injury or at full capacity for that amount of games. 

Controlling the middle of the park is so important and too many times we saw us losing that battle, often against smaller teams. We need more options 1 for competition, and 2 for depth. 

I think we don't sign another striker, its not really the end of the world, but no midfield reinforcements would be more concern.

Well judging by Warnes comments in DET today he's not coming ... I'm guessing that Waggy now looks more likely plus A.N. Other...

More than happy with this. 

Waggy will have an impact and if it allows another body in the door then even better.

You have to queue outside the ticket office, tap your foot and keep tutting.

was hoping to have it for a holiday in 4 weeks

I've never understood why we are always late. So many people say they want it for holiday which for a lot of people was in June. People want them for the summer yet we seem to be one of the last ones to get the kit out. Very annoying
