    Can’t believe something has actually happened while I was reading the thread. Those are the moments that make all the pain worth it. 
    I painfully always check this thread before bed and tonight is the first night in history I’m glad I did.

    Are we still recruiting using the rule of 8 certainties, 8 squad and 8 youth players, or whatever it was?
    If so, can anyone put our current squad in the relevant boxes to see where we are short?

    The person who came out with that guff didn’t even believe it so I doubt anybody now is working to it

    Number 16 recently vacated too.  It all makes sense.

    6 feet tall too. Guys I have a feeling he’s going to be worth 20 million next year.

    Was only on loan at Poznan and the deal that fell through with Partizan was only going to be a loan so I wonder if PC and NJ are playing 5D chess with the budget....

    I wonder do managers ask new signings if they know of any previous team mates that would be suitable to sign?

    Those were the days when word would slip out that a new signing was staying there.

    Better start identifying his replacement, we’ll have £10m to spend on them if we sell Ouma for £20m.

    If he adds bite in midfield then good. Chalobah provides a good passing range and experience. This guy also looks like he can thread a pass.
    Lets see if Phill Chapple has earn his keep

    Just thinking about that rw comment. 

    He’s not talking about Fakuda is he? I know he was more of a rwb but we seemingly had earmarked him last year maybe we’ve kept tabs on him?

    Doesn’t really apply as keeping the gunpowder dry comment since we were hesitant to do any more than a loan last summer

    Sheffield United were supposedly interested in him last season.

    Very good on the ball judging from this 
    Christ, I Hope he comes in. I've not seen Doc or Coventry complete any of the moves in the video. Could be just what we need

    Reading does not have to be painful. Just learn it slowly. Do not put yourself under pressure. I suggest starting with Dr Spock books.

    Has anyone else made that link on here before? I may have missed it

    Andy Scott is head of recruitment at Estoril..


    That’s it then he’s guaranteed to be shit if Andy Scott thinks he’s ok. 

    Everything alright? Making miserable comments all day 😂
    Yes absolutely fine, will try harder to be more ecstatic about things tomorrow!😂
    We’ll be knocked out the cup to a lower league team tomorrow, plenty to look forward to!

    I have a really good feeling about Mbick if I’m honest.  Some of his goals last season were absolutely outstanding and the Col U fans adored him - some saying he’s the best striker they’ve had in years.  If he plays and gets off the mark early in the season he could be an ace up the sleeve.  He’s brutally powerful, quick and was confident.  If he can hit the ground running - make no mistake, he’s worth many many millions but we can’t put too much pressure on him early on

    Brighton ranked him last season as our best player. 100% still interested but being cautious due to his injury. Has the season we hope for and he could be worth millions but I think he will live up to the expectation.

    He was referring to knowing Abu Kamara well, but not that kamara was the target

    We made that mistake when NJ asked an ex-Luton player.  Look what happened:

    Is it too far fetched to wonder if Ouma could be a bonus signing like he just became available because of what sounds like a collapsed permanent deal to Lech Poznan I think I read?

    is there any way we get both Ouma and Holsgrove and maybe sell JRC or more likely Docherty?

    I just worry that we’re pinning all our hopes on him and he gets injured early until say November time and all our midfield problems come back.

    Our midfield needs such an overhaul we probably need both Ouma and Holsgrove if we could afford both even if it means being ruthless and moving Docherty on?
