    So a GK, CB and CM. Plus Dawkins?

    Still light on LB and RB cover, plus another striker if Ajose goes.

    Aside from youngsters, maybe he thinks Sarr can cover LB? Assuming Pearce isn't crocked for the season...
    Pearce walked around the pitch after treatment so hopefully not too badly injured. Dawkins looked fairly mobile in the friendlies. Experienced players needed.

    I’ve regularly been on trains that aren’t going anywhere either

    Seriously, that does make you wonder why he didn’t come on today

    Colin reckons we're looking to sign 5 players and let Ajose go...

    That means we're selling 5 and signing 1 then

    Someone had better let Ajose know then.

    Who's left?

    Aribo and the injured Fosu......plus Herr Bauer, I suppose.

    Bowyer's said himself he wants a GK, defender and midfielder. We know he's considering Dawkins and you'd expect Ajose to be replaced. That's 5 positions we're obviously thinking about, don't have to be "ITK" to work that out. Whether it'll actually happen is another thing completely.

    I doubt if anyone knows but do the players being discussed are they permanent and if yes, wether we are talking about additional loans once the transfer windows shut.

    Don’t believe that tweet at all, there’s no way Ajose is going to sit on the train in first class and talk to a random fan saying he isn’t leaving but two more players are.

    This screams attention seeking if I am honest. The amount of nonsense I heard on the train back this afternoon/evening is embarrassing. Far too many people either don’t have a clue or make things up to make them sound ‘cool’.

    Baring in mind this train he was on with all the players was less than an hour after the game finished

    That’s what I mean as well. Seems to me that he may have just said hello to Pearce and that he looked gutted, that’s about it.

    Took me 30-40 minutes to get properly back with all the crowds etc. I would be surprised if any or much of what was tweeted by this person is true.

    If the last 4 seasons are to go by. we will not be bringing in the players we need, let alone the ones the managers wants.

    Think we are just keeping hold of Dawkins until Ajose goes which makes sense with the way things are.

    Wondering if we are in for jem karacan? He turned down oxford last week. Think he has been mentioned before on CL.

    Such a shame LB was ready to ditch a player like RCC. Only imagine he was under the impression takeover and money would be available

    It may well not have been Bowyer’s call, but either way I agree RCC should have been retained. A versatile and promising player he would have been useful. Think he is probably better than Marshall.

    only real talent we have left. If we sell him then might as well turn out the lights. How anyone wishing to buy us can stand by & watch this happen astounds me.

    Thought they were already turned off? Cost conscious and all that.. :neutral:
  • Plenty of freebies available that would add to our squad. Onohua, LuaLua, Hoolahan etc

    Kazenga LuaLua is a player I would really like for us to bring in. Him and Dawkins added to Fosu and Marshall and we have great options out wide. Those four plus Clarke, Reeves and Vetokele to come back and it has a lot of pace and technical ability going forward to support Taylor and Grant.

    I do however, doubt it being possible and think wages could well be a big issue with any players we bring in.

    A few years ago I would've loved Hoolahan but he is 36 now and there is just no point in bringing someone of that age in.

    The Sunday Express are on a roll at the moment to be fair, what with it being the hottest summer for a billion years

    And that following on from the "Beast from the East" and the coldest winter since, erm .... 2010.
    It's been quite an exciting few months for them.

    Shame nobody buys their newspaper anymore.
