Here is my tip for this season, Dom poleon, I really think the lad is going to hit the ground running, great last u18 season and scored a belter in pre season, I reckon he will shine and become a first team starter and become a huge prospect and attract unwanted ettention from the premiership (probably Norwich)
Also think neil be really considering on bid to buy templeton, he would fill snoddys boots with ease, both play very alike technically, but templeton has more pace, this is a sort of player we need on the wing imo

His goal against Tavistock was a beauty,but i still think its a little too soon for the lad,maybe a short loan to a div 1 side to see what he can do first.. . MOT

The lad is making the right noises for sure.

Give the lad a chance why loan him out if he's 18 get him in he has earnt a place in squad so give him his chance like anyone else
Russjon

Would rather him stay and make an impact from the bench than go on loan. he definitely has a future though.

Saw him play v Alfreton on 21 July and was impressed. Scored one and was fouled for the pen. Confident to take people on in the box, but at times needs to develop awareness of team mates who are in better positions and release the ball to them. This will come with time.

Get him on as long a contract as possible now, dont want him to go same way as rose, garbutt, lennon, taiwo etc...

Agreed ... the lad has more than a touch of class and I would like to see at least one young player included on the bench. Sam Byrom also looks to be another one for the future. Also agree with the shout for David Templeton young, has oodles of pace, talented and is more than willing to take people on ... time to spend some of the fee received for Snoddy.

I haven't seen him but if hes that good give hime a 5 year deal then I'd send him on a half season loan to league 2 or maybe 1 get him back in january and if hes done well keep him as a back up

As above, iv never seen him play, but read that he played well for the u18s and in the friendlies. Get him on a long term contract and either loan him out or give him a chance in the first team. Its what we used to do (woody, milner, lennon, robbo etc)

I see on the dodgy rumours page that someone posted a few days before snoddy was sold that he was going to norwich for 3 mill. This person also named 6 players we were going to get, one if which is so far true! Will be interesting to see if the others are true.

What players are thy then?

These are the names dropped in the dodgy rumour (no, it wasn't me):
Varney is in.
Austin awaits his work permit.
Peltier officially is one of few targets for the right back.
Tom Heaton will not be, as he has gone to Bristol City and we have Kenny and Ashdown.
Templeton, McGugan and Kilgallon remain in the rumours bin.

A Royal said to be a billionaire relative of Bahrains King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa taken off a plane at Heathrow airport bound for Bahrain at 10-00 am drunk as a skunk - I wonder if relevant and if it is did ken get him to sign on the dotted line first jimkent

Leeds want to sign Norwich Striker Grant Holt aswell as Snodgrass already completing his move to norwich but Leeds do want Grant holt in a bit of a return for Snodgrass.

Holt signed a 3 year contract extension less than a month ago. Never going to happen.

StevenLufc {Ed020's Note - dom matteo signed a 4 year contract and then signed for us a month later....stranger things have happened}

Highly doubtful, he was wanting to go to a bigger club in the premiership before he signed his deal so why would he take the step down and sign for a championship club

Rubbish, if we wanted him we would have arranged it in the deal with Snoddie surely?

Blackburn Rovers have made a bid for West Bromwich Albion striker Simon Cox why haven't we?

SS are guessing be ausr if their interest it could easily be us

Maybe cos NW dosen't want him.

Probably because Neil Warnock doesn't want him! Leave the signings to him.....that's why he's the manager!
Lufctim.

Arsenal have made a bid for cazorla, why haven't you? Ffs, what a ridiculous stance on transfers. You really think warnock should be signing every decent player? There are so many other factors, what if cox isn't what warnock wants? Wake up.

Maybe because Warnock doesn't want him. We don't have to bid for a player because another team has.

Huddersfield bid for peltier does that mean we can't? Cox is quality and with the likes of Andy Gray it's time we signed a decent forward

This is the type of quality player we should be signing but he is out of our price bracket. I would think NW would love him

Blackburn probably have more monet than us at the moment. JD

To all of you who say it is Warnock's choice, I don't believe it is. He would be reinvesting the Snodgrass money. Do you expect me to believe that Warnocks dream is to sign 5 players all of whom were relegated from the Championship last year. Why dont you wake up and get real
