I can confirm that he did in fact walk out of the meeting, and has walked out of plenty so far this summer. Otherwise he’d still be sat in the meeting room nowJohn_Fitzpatrick1 said:Another signing after Jones walked out a meeting! Starting to think that bombshell rumour may of been false.
Welcome Billy, hopefully his injuries are a thing of the past!!40 -

Great start to the window now for that RWB and midfield rebuild.0

That should be the defence sorted. Hope to see some midfield signings now as that's where we really need to improve. More likely later in the window I think.1

Welcome to The Valley Billy the Kid2 -
Thats the defence pretty much sorted, now we need to move upfield...0

Will Ferry hasn’t joined that Czech club yet then….
Wonder if he could be the 3rd signing this week that @stjohnshill hinted at?0 -
Yet another four year deal which is good, this is looking standard stuff now...2

I'd hope the third signing is an RWB. Would set things up nicelyValley11 said:Will Ferry hasn’t joined that Czech club yet then….

Unlikely I think. In Cawley’s write up he says Chapple went to watch the Dundee derby and it was reported we were watching Ferry and Graham, but we were actually there to watch Koumetio not those 2Valley11 said:Will Ferry hasn’t joined that Czech club yet then….

Plus with Mesik and now Koumetio I’d be shocked if any more left sided defenders are incoming5 -

Current team and depth looking a little healthier now. Next steps are upgrading at RWB and in midfield, and then trimming the numbers at CB and up front
Encouraging start to the window, signing players at good ages on long contracts so they can hopefully develop into really good championship players over the next few years3 -
Without putting the cat amongst pigeons…
Could we be putting these signings on 4 year contracts to spread the cost across those years - and better (smaller cost incurred) for this years budget? 👀

BIG WILLY TIME!5

Like the look of these 2 CB's (they look like hard cases and have potential) and the fact Gillesphey has just gone means no reason to think Lloyd Jones is going or that we aren't going for some more attacking wing backs. The real test of this window will be the midfield / wb re build so makes some sense that we get the other stuff done first and then throw all we've got at it. If LJ goes and we play the slovakian at wing back then i'll take a different view on it. I don't think that will happen.1

I don’t think giving a 23 year old a 4 year contract is anything suspicioussammy391 said:Without putting the cat amongst pigeons…

Four year contracts are our strategy with young players so that we can, if it makes sense, sell them at a decent price after 2 years...9

Lot of the signings over last few years have been 4 year deals so no …. There been no change to the budgetsammy391 said:Without putting the cat amongst pigeons…

our original shopping list was
LCB
3 wing backs ( two right and one left )
3 midfielders
1 striker

Two fees so far and I’d guess maybe two more. After that we need some Championship loans and some out of contract signings. Still think we need six in but I think that might be pushing it.0

West Ham have today announced 42,000 season tickets sold.0

I’d love a GK but think that’s unlikely. Kaminski will have to do for this season and then we can look to upgrade next summerJ BLOCK said:

RWB we need two. Ramsay won’t be starting there. If you start Ramsay RWB with Edwards/Mesik LWB then we will be even less creative than we were last season. The RWB signings need to offer attacking threat and ideally one will have some pace and 1v1 ability going forward
I think it will be 2 central midfielders, both starters. We still have Coventry, Costello and Docherty so more than 2 incoming is unlikely
Number 10 we have 3 players already so I think it’s very unlikely we bring in another. Don’t think we will add any more unless the change to 3-4-2-1 is going to be our primary system this season
Strikers we have a lot so we’d need a lot of movement out if we want 2 incoming. I think a Campbell alternative forward is the most important signing in the forward line, in terms of number 9s I’m happy with Kelman, Godden, Leaburn and Mbick as options so I’d only add 1 as that TC-type option to complete the set. Everyone else can leave
I’d advise on some patience. You can’t overhaul everything in one summer, and when teams try to it quite often backfires and goes very wrong. I think around 7 signings is a sensible number and we can keep adding and improving over the next few years while also developing the players we have and are signing now3 -
Six more? Or four more including the two already.ShootersHillGuru said:Two fees so far and I’d guess maybe two more. After that we need some Championship loans and some out of contract signings. Still think we need six in but I think that might be pushing it.0 -
Hopefully we get rid of Kalamity in goal.1

No, we need TWO right wing backs. Not 1 and hope Ramsay or whoever "can cover". That's how it always goes wrong.4
