Bristol City signing Tolaj from Plymouth, who was a player I know a few on here fancied for us

Superb when at Aldershot, has risen to every level he's played.

Related note I watched Shots beat Pompey yesterday - Pompey were awful, so I predict we will at least finish above them.

That’ll be good if we can as they’re spending a few quid and the ones getting Pepple from Plymouth apparently. Mousinho was made promises to keep him there so if we end up above them I think we’ll be doing ok.

Swisdom

Carrying on from Tolaj, I watched Bim Pepple a couple of years ago at Southend and couldn’t believe how poor he was that day.  Must have had a massive glow-up because he resembled a Sainsbury’s trolley (his legs seemingly couldn’t go in the same direction much like a supermarket trolley)

Wouldn't be against signing Maja

Lewisham born, London raised. Good things come out of Lewisham.

Spike Milligan for one and not forgetting Lewisham Ilton.😏

Max Wall as well I believe.

Ginger Baker, AND Rachel Reeves, gawd bless 'er

The transfer fees seem to have really gone through the roof this summer.
£9m for Dobbin to Southampton is nuts.

Miserableoldgit

I was born in Lewisham Hospital. Apparently my parents had to decide if I was going to be a spanner or a 'addick. The Hospital did tests and found out I had 1 brain~cell.........

I don’t think NJ’s “project” will not be such an easy sell this season. 

Last season players joining us from league 1 naturally would have been impressed but those more experienced championship upgrades that we’re hoping for this season, will no doubt have heard it all before.

I think bagging goals and assists in the Champ and his age mean that’s not too bad in the current market. It’s shocking in that the whole market seems to be broken. You can see why the foreign market is so desirable for many clubs.

Enough time has also passed where the player would have little to no memory of us in the premier league and so wouldn’t see us as a fallen “giant” but rather a championship-ish club that’s spent a few years in league one.

So for £5-£6m that’s another one that we’ve not missed out on then while Dykes remains an option.

Dykes being a free agent does not mean we should not spend on someone who is better than him. 

You can’t tell me you would be happy if Lyndon Dykes is signed to replace Lyndon Dykes

Have to admit I’m starting to get to the point where I am about to enter the bed wetting camp with the lack of rumours or signings.  It must be getting bad, as I’ve always been against bed wetting behaviour too.

Worse than that. 11 out of the last 17 seasons have been spent in League One.

You’re having a laugh if you think players cared about that anyway. Unless your name is Real Madrid or Barcelona they couldn’t give 2 shits on who was paying them

I reckon we will sign two tomorrow.

I would be golfie-style ecstatic if we managed to replace Dykes with a proven goalscorer in The Championship within our budget. I would probably be delighted if we could find a goalscorer from the top flight of a major European league within our budget.

Trouble is demand is high and supply is short. Jones has offered Dykes a contract so if it means replacing Dykes with Dykes and then one of Leaburn or Mbick goes out on loan then so be it. I would rather we splash the cash in other areas of the team. Wouldn't be perfect no, but neither would it be the worst thing in the world.
