Let’s be honest, he sounds like Bowyer’s type of player. A quick winger who can also play up top a bit. He’s always been very keen to get one of those in to help us stretch the play and get in behind. I am sure he and Gallen have spoken about the fact they think we’re not quick enough at the moment.
Based on the report linked in this tweet, why are we not trying to sign the 18y old wunderkid from Southend who has scored 6 in 16? Southend are 22nd in League 2, come join the CAFC promotion party instead of being 2nd fiddle to Bonne at QPR.

Spurs have also had a couple of bids rejected for Kelman. I personally doubt he’ll sign for QPR.
Interesting that we haven't brought anyone and all our signings have been unattached, can only assume the 2m from Bonne has gone towards wages?
I believe for signing Alex Gilbey we paid a fee to MK Dons ..... who said at the time they were willing to sell, because of Covid disruption they needed the money.

Didn't it come out recently that there was no fee paid for Gilbey, and we got him because they needed him off the wage bill. Pretty sure it was in the SLP that including Bonne our squad cost £275k, £200k for Bonne and the rest for Purrington
I'm not entirely sure what role Paul Smyth would play
He's not a striker, as he's not prolific. Is he creative as last season he had 1 goal and 2 assists for Wycombe in 19 appearances, which is fairly underwhelming for a team that got promoted
Anecdotal report from QPR fan father-in-law is that Smyth really impressed at first. Very quick and direct. Changes in coaches and an injury last season meant no progress but he’s been a sub recently. Could do well with a run of games in League One. Rates him as better than Washington.

I mentioned Kelman on the previous page and said it would be start of our building and we can pay what we like CAP wise.
Bowyer on Smyth... in January 2019. Seems a realistic signing to me, we need a CB, a LB, a striker and another midfielder. Adding pace out wide as the final midfielder to come in could make a real difference.
I think TS is playing it right this window, as he learns very quickly how business is done in this sector. He will be guided, but he's the boss and his decision is final. If he wants to wait for championship before spending money, then so be it. With the cap it's pretty inconsequential to be looking at £2-3m players if they are wanting £10-20k a week as that would leave the squad half empty.

Anyway, I can't understand Pikey's either!

"He is somebody that we’re interested in, along with a few others.
“We are looking at a few to be honest but yes, his name is amongst the list.
With Naby leaving , our average height has fallen to 5ft 6.
Can we afford to go even lower ?
