    How about taking a flyer on Andraz Sprorar? Who?

    25 year old, 1.86m tall striker in the Slovenian League. 18 goals in 23 matches this year. Not a one hit wonder, either. Scored 34 goals in 36 matches last season.

    I said it at least a month ago that we need a big experienced CB who is dominant  in the air to replace Bauer and bolster the defence. We may only have Page missing but the other defenders apart from Lockyer are struggling at this level
    IMO.

    CB 6'3" Grant Hall who has captained QPR, has had his injury and other issues in the past (aged 28 contract expires 30/6/20), could well be our man as a permanent signing. Gallen also has past ties with QPR just saying 😉.

    No ITK whatsoever apart from a bit of mooching around on Twitter (the beacon of truth).  My hunch is:

    Nketiah to Bristol City.
    Brewster to Swansea.
    Surridge to us.  (Hence why it’s so low key because he’s about to start against the club he’s just left)

    Alan Nixon saying he expects Liverpool to use Brewster in the cup at the weekend so that would in theory rule him out of being announced tomorrow.

    Dunno if Surridge will go back out on loan

    https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11743/11898971/sam-surridge-bournemouth-recall-striker-from-swansea-loan

    He's played 20-games for Swansea this season so hasnt been recalled due to game time

    Bournemouth dont forget have injury problems of their own

    Dwight Gayle as the forward on loan? Complete guess but don’t get much better than him at this level. 
    At least he can frighten defences, with his face.
    Wages a problem.

    A shame that it would make him cup tied for our run.

    Was about to post the same. If Bournemouth want development he is best to stay there as he is now settled and is getting plenty of game time. Swansea haven’t cancelled the loan, Bournemouth have recalled so I suspect it’s to cover their injuries.

    Got time for Gayle.

    When he was at palice he lived 200 yards from me.  The flat he was in would have been a max 400K to buy, or 2K a month to rent.

    Good luck to him for seemingly not being a fancy dan.

    Agreed, hoping for a striker on loan tomorrow, followed by a CM within a few days and we can build from there.
    I think Bows is thinking the same. Two early signings to replace Leko and Kayal. Maybe two more when the takeover goes through on perms, would be enough to keep us up.

    I'm sticking my neck out and predicting its Jack Clarke from Spurs... Mentioned his name already as he'd be an ideal replacement for Leko

    Have absolutely no substance to my claim as press are saying that Brentford | Fulham are both tracking him

    Seriously wont be surprised if its a bit of a "Who!!" signing that we make tomorrow with it being a similar one to Conor Gallagher where we simply have to trust in Gallen

    If it were someone like Dwight Gayle then I'd be as shocked as when the ESI statement appeared on the OS, would be a real signal of potential things to come

    I’ve heard a whisper that tomorrow’s signing is a centre half who has worked with Gallen before. I have a name but will wait till the announcement to see if it is correct rather than start any hares running. 

    Edit. I see from reading through the thread for the first time in a couple of hours that the name I have heard has already been mentioned.

    IT'S A LOAN FORWARD
    Even Bowyer said so.....
    I'm pretty sure

    might be wrong but i think your confusing that with the permanent signing that today's 'fun' on this thread has been about - tomorrow's is a loan

  • Would be disappointed if its anyone other than a Striker or Midfielder

    They're the areas we're weakest, we're playing a formation that isnt working because we dont have enough in either position

    If its a Defender (who isnt a Left-Back) I'd be curious to hear what Bowyer has to say

    Of course it could just be a case of the Defender being one of three main targets and has become available quicker than the others which is fair enough

    this is my assumption based on what i've read on here today - makes sense

    2 goals conceded every game except one for the last ten games or so?, we need defenders as a priority. a nil-nil would be good at the moment. We have won one in fourteen games and then had to score three to win.

    I mentioned Grant Hall a few pages back. QPR cb and Gallen has links with QPR. Was it him?

    I’d be surprised if that was a loan though.

    True but I'm still one of those who feels the goals are coming because the defence isnt getting enough protection, because the ball is coming back into our box far too often

    Since no one knows anything, I’ll guess Rhian Brewster. Why not.

    It could only be players who have been at QPR then if they have “worked with Gallen”, from his time as a coach there in 2014-16 ish. 

    That would mean Grant Hall who I dismissed because the ITK source said he’s from London... I suppose loosely it could be a London club rather than where he grew up.
