Terrible waste of money. 

We haven't seen enough of Knibbs and Kelman yet I would say, but I think Tanto & Apter are done here, 4 million quids worth of players in those two alone spunked. 

If Knibbs and Kelman don't kick on this season, looking at 8-10 million pounds worth of players flopped. 

Makes you wonder how much homework is done on these players and whether or not they suit Nathan Jones as a manager.

This squad gets relegated. 

It’s a better squad than we had last season, and that squad didn’t get relegated. 

The problem you have, is that the other squads are better (bar Blackburn). 

You reckon Bolton and Lincoln have better squads?

yeah 

I'm putting this alongside '08 Therry Racon was better than Greg Docherty' as  most hilarious comment of the summer so far. You know you've got too deep into the self dick-punching when you're tearfully looking at a squad with Conor McGrandles in it and asking 'why not me?!'

yeah 

Just straight up being negative for the sake of it if you think Bolton and Lincoln have better squads than us 

Wouldn't say their squads are better, but they both have players that start for us. We will see for ourselves this season.

I'd have George Wickens any day of the week over Kaminski, and I reckon Jack Moylan (now signed for Cardiff funny enough) & Rubin Colwill walk into our team, Cardiff also have a couple of tidy defenders. 

Saying their squads are better is a stretch, but I don't think we are exactly head and shoulders above them either to be honest.

I’d say our squad is head and shoulders above Lincoln and probably Boltons.

Lincoln’s squad was mostly built on a bottom half league 1 budget. Ours is much better and I’d be shocked if Lincoln weren’t 24th given they’ve also lost their manager and best player this summer 

Bolton were play off winners like us. But they’ve lost 26 goals and 19 assists from their squad last season that came from loan players that they haven’t got back. And their manager is moaning that they’re struggling to bring players in so I doubt they’ve replaced that loss yet, let alone made the jump from league 1 to championship level squad

Dykes would improve our squad, but wouldn't improve our team... Not fussed, we don't have many squad places left and need to be signing starters 

Danny Addick

WARNING - THIS POST IS JUST MY OPINION - I’m not saying it’s fact! 

My opinion is that Dykes can do a good job when you play to his strengths. Should he have been our main target though - no imo. 

For example, bring him on when, god willing, we are winning a game and he’ll batter defenders and hold it up. 

I’d put him:

1. Kelman championship class 
2. Godden championship class
3. Dykes  championship class 
4. Leaburn  championship potential
5. Kanu Championship potential
6. Olaofe League 1 class 

No idea with mbick - haven’t seen enough of him but obviously highly rated

I hope I don't see the same people who accuse people of bed wetting and being impatient panicking over Lyndon bloody Dykes, he's bang average. Less than 100 goals for club and country in a 13 year career at 11 different clubs, over around 500-550 appearances, something like 0.16 goals a game? 

The very definition of a journeyman striker. We can and should be doing better. He will be a fringe player for Millwall, nothing more.

Thanks for his contributions, good luck to him.

Funny how you were so keen on Piergianni who was a bang average centre half.

Dykes will be training with us again next week 

Hope we let Millwall know.

I think if we really wanted Dykes he would have signed by now, hopefully someone better and that suits the style we going to try and play. 

Hopefully this midfielder is worth the wait and being patient.

My question would be, will Leaburn and Mbick reach their potential if we sign Lyndon Dykes on a multi-year contract. I think he’d be a barrier to that and so I’m happy that we haven’t signed him

To be fair it's probably his most coherent posting streak

Jones practically confirming 1 signing before the end of the weekend

You do realise that's a bit of a running joke now?

I would quite literally put my head in my oven if we signed him in the Championship. 

A very good league 1 centre back (no debate), but limited. Would have been a good stop gap signing for a team looking for promotion in the League below, that's as far as it goes.

Did the ITK's say something was imminent a few days back?

I've totally lost count of when or where these things were said

StJohnsHill & Gavin Carter both indicated someone was very close but in retrospect, feels deliberately vague. We live in hope! 

Same person, probably

StJohnsHill & Gavin Carter are the same person? explains how he knows stuff!!!

Except that all the evidence is, to quote Manuel...

"I know nooothing"
