Akin Famewo is now  a free agent along with Barry Bannon and Callum Paterson … owlshub social media site 

I've mentioned before, Paterson is very versatile and would suit us well .. also, to much derision, I opined that Bannon also would do for us. Despite his age,35, he is always passionate, works his socks off and upsets the opposition .. so what's not to like?

Bannon would NEVER come to us after we laughed at him when he did his ACL in the SE corner. One of our defenders sidestepped his challenge and waltzed off with the ball and the crowd cheering. Rumours were when we last played them about how much he hated us and was desperate to score /beat us.

I'm not sure Swansea are in for him. I know they bid in January, but they have a new manager now. They've also spent a lot of money already.

I think we may get him in the dying days of August.

Too late. Season's started by then. If a player uhms & aghs and cant make up his mind I don't want him. Only committed players please.

The player isn’t umming and arghing - orient havent  accepted our bid and he clearly doesn’t want to go to Huddersfield 

If you’ve ever been to Huddersfield, you’d understand why. 

I say that as an honorary northerner. Yorkshire is beautiful. But Huddersfield ain’t. 

True. The town is not great but the surrounding area is beautiful. Doubt many players live in the town. The big downside in Hudds ambitions to signing him are the league that they’re in. Not location.

Agreed, it was in jest - not a great city, but surrounding areas are.

Tanto's ex teammate Jayden Fevrier must be worth consideration .. right winger or wing back .. Londoner (well Waltham Forest anyway)

Is it finally safe to log off the rumour mill for the day, or is Colin still lurking in that bush at Sparrows with his Nokia 9010.

Swansea were after Galbraith in January so may be some substances to that. Would be frustrating if we missed out by not paying that bit more that was needed. 

I think Galbraith would better value at £2M than Tanto would be at £1.5M

….we need both

No idea why, but am excited about this one - always like a striker signing!

My god, I do hope Golfie is happy at last? 😜

Me ?  Nah.

We need 2 more "strikers" seeing as we really only have Godden & Leaburn (the latter being out injured for the last third of the season). And I see Tanto as more of a TC type of player......more of a wide player who can cut in & score than an out & out striker.

Can i just say, having seen him play about 8/9 times last season, Charlie Kelman is a shit FOOTBALLER, clearly good at putting the ball in the net, but offers next to nothing in the build up, can’t pass, doesn’t hold it up, is purely a long ball chaser and that’s where his bread’s buttered, fair play to him. But he found his level & severely lacks any technical ability to progress any higher imo.  

One of my pals reckons there’s another one at sparrows lane today. He is known for talking absolute rubbish but I for one have massively got my hopes up.

Kelman might prove me wrong, but our defence made fairly light work of him each time we played them imo.

Credit to our defence, he is absolutely class. 21 goals you have to have something about you.

I think he has it all for this level, movement, he's fast, he's fairly strong, can score a range of goals. 

As Sam said though, the likes of West Brom are after him, probably be unlikely.

Sometimes that's true!

No Nicky Ajose slander. 

He was the product of a shit environment, reckon with the right team and manager he could have replicated his Swindon form. Confidence is everything in football.

Can't have too much ill will towards him, he joined a basket case club. 

He still gave us Pompey 1 nil away. 

Stockport have replaced Olaofe with Malik Mothersille

be interesting to see how he gets on up there

I don’t think he is as bad as you make out but at the same time, I can’t see the hype. 21 goals last year but only 18 L1 goals in 4 seasons before. I definitely think it’s a gamble for championship clubs to be after him but you are only as good as your last season where his stats were impressive
