Excellent news.

Just a cb and striker now, then we can drop the dead wood, if you'll pardon the pun.

Nice Lancaster but may I venture to suggest the truly real problem for us as fans is that Wood is very much alive and occupying the centre forward position.

Very true George unfortunately. not that I'd wish the man dead or anything lol .

Bryan reported to have signed so it looks like it's bye bye Charlie.

It does MM just as I reported about 10 days ago but don't forget Corky will be right on this one. Taylor won't leave this season.

I was also correct in the summer by stating we should and would sign 10 players before the end of August. Corky also said that wouldn't happen.

Agree2 Disagree2

Those who boast the most often have little to boast about.
Looks like you were right George along with 30,000 others that Taylor is on his way. That was some prediction you made a few weeks back!
Seriously though I just had a feeling he would stay for a while as in the Byram situation.
I don't seem to remember saying we wouldn't sign 10 players but its nice to know I have one person keeping a keen eye on my posts. How many have we signed on contracts? Four or five?

bit stalkery ain't it Cork personally I take no notice of your posts what so ever!

I haven't read about this verboom anywhere, who is he.

Wish I had my own stalker Corky old boy. It would be nice to be the stalker and not the stalkee for a change!

MM.

No stalking. It's called a good memory. Or if I'm watching episodes of Baywatch simultaneously it's good mammaries.

Bridcutt dam good signing two years is plenty for now and see how it goes I want to see turnbull in goal tmrw woods on bench and give roofe and sako full run out?

Turnbull good goalkeeper.

Bridcutt and Kerboom, not a bad day after all if these two come off!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

people annoyed about bridcutt singing on a 2 year deal, just be happy he's with us, it might have an extra year depending on appearances.

15 Aug 2016 21:31:41
Delboy some think we should sign everyone on 10 year contracts.

Agree1 Disagree0

15 Aug 2016 21:54:39
I'm just buzzing that we got him, just give it time to gel, Hernandez will be good for wood and feel hell benifit from his passing and experience.

Bamba allegedly supporting Chris Wood's recent performance?

Who's going to support Bamba's recent performances?

Sorry, but Bamaba, Wood, and Green are not pulling their weight, and if we are having to rely on them then heaven help us.

FFS Monk, why on earth have you told Silvestri to look for another club and put Green straight into the team?

Sounds like Schmeikels all over.

Believable0 Unbelievable2

15 Aug 2016 21:04:14
Whats scarey is Monk saying Wood is a real talent and will come good, i'm afraid if we don't bring a proper stroker in and have to rely on Wood, we can forget all about the play offs.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Aug 2016 21:16:29
The problem for Monk is all these players are the spine of the team and they are the weak links. I was willing to give Wood another chance as he was supposed to be carrying an injury all last season, but he's supposed to be 100% fit now, can anyone tell the difference? My worry with Green was he would become the new Paddy Kenny, decent once but long past his sell by date. I hope he goes on to prove me wrong, but somehow I doubt it. Bamba has been poor for a year now and is still captain. Simply he is not a captain and he is not good enough to be in the team. Now we have Bridcutt (at last) maybe we can start to build a spine of the team. At least we can have a new captain.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Aug 2016 21:49:21
I weep hearing all the guys saying we need this and that and to be honest we do. Some of the players Monk has bought into are half decent, but when he ignores the likes of Silvestri and brings in a total liability to take his place then there won't be hope. Wood has been here far too long to stick with him, he needs gone, sorry. Along with Bamba of course, another over rated player who hardly ever produces.

Agree0 Disagree0

You're right deda land, the huge flaws are in the spine of the team . Now we've got bridcutt a top six centre back and decent striker are desperately needed . I would also put the silver vest back in goal . Come on massimo you know it makes sence lad, think of the millions once back in the promised land . Go and lay out the required 8 million or so.

In training wood is probably slotting loads passed our defence thus making him look good😂😂😂.

Papa isa doing is best Georgie boy 2 more signings before the window close . I promise you George.

First positive signing for me, he's been here and done it. good move!

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Aug 2016 20:43:55
I like the sound of that Wex. Some names to pass Daddy's way on the defensive side. Reece Burke - he'd be a loan. Alfie Mawson. Hobbs, Hoban and Lescott sure you've looked at too.

Sadly, I really can't think of a decent striker centre forward type whose available for value fee and wages wise. The defensive reinforcement is a must though.

Birdcage deal done. 2 year contract. Medical later today. Most important signing of the window so far.

While we all discuss our team and forthcoming transfer business, a thought should go out to the tragic death of Dalian Atkinson who passed away this morning. I liked him as a player.

WTF very sad 😢.

Given the recent results one would expect some action on the transfer front, pretty sharpish?

There are only two weeks left in the window and we need a minimum of 4 players and could possibly do with as many as 8 ( with 3 or 4 to go)

Will a lack of immediate activity indicate events taking place behind the scenes and an imminent takeover?

or shall we just continue to suffer?

In order
Yes
Yes
Possibly
Of course.

bit late now? We have bought one or two good players, let one of our best players go, another on the verge of doing so and then we have subscribed to a charity event called Green.

Oh, and we've told Silvestri to look for a new club, there's loyalty for you, charity case (Green) or not?

Think we will e looking at mid table mediocracy yet again, if we are lucky.
