I'd say that as we have the similar positioned Groß and Fulham have apparently turned down £20m, I'd say the 3/10 for Cairney VERY generous!!!

HMMM...there's a Pilchard type smell to this one...

What makes you say that? I'd have thought he'd be happy enough to join Huddersfield, assuming they offer him the salary he wants. Close to home (I guess!), knows the manager & plenty of the players, was a huge success last time round...Wwy wouldn't he?

The moment the Terriers won promotion to the Premier League, our hopes of signing him evaporated. Why would he want to leave one team that had been promoted, to play for another?

Ryan and Troisi will sign after the confederations cup, Troisi isn't the calibre I want us to be signing.

Most of us in Oz rate the A-League as somewhere between bottom half Championship and top half League 1. As with teams playing at that level in England, the better players (like Mooy, Rogic, Ryan et al) are certainly capable of playing at a higher level.

Troisi is a very good player at A-League level although not as consistently brilliant as Mooy was in his final season before moving to Hudds. He's also 28 so probably about as good as he's ever going to get.

He would at least be cheap (free agent) and his sort of play probably suits the EPL rather than the Championship. With decent players around him he could probably do a job but I doubt he'd be in your first XI. Not straight away.

Stranger things have happened, remember our keeper chose to join Birmingham in the 2nd division.

Isn't that because we'd only offer him a 1 year contract and he'd not be the automatic first choice keeper?


Oh of course, how could I forget, Harry Redknapp would be the clincher

I'd just got round to thinking that Mooy wasn't that good anyway and wasn't what we needed, and then read that so now have my hopes up again.

All of this.

However, as much as I rate him (and I do), do we need to fork out £8m -£10m on someone only equivalent to what we already have. £5m-£6m then 'yes'.

Always reminds me of Neil McNab but goes forward more.

Slightly O/T but how many non-EU players are we allowed to play or does that not matter?

I think it used to be two, which at the moment would be Bong and ?Ryan.

The only rules are

Max 25 players over 21
8 of these have to be "home grown"

A homegrown player, as defined by the Premier League, is a player who: (a) is 21 or older on January 1 of the year in which that season begins and (b) spent 36 months between the ages of 16 and 21 with a team in the English league system.
