Need 4-5 new players (full back, two strikers, centre mid attacking) and to release manu, and sell Grady, and one of JFC or ince.

March should be back at end of August too I guess.

Knockaert has taken the number 11 shirt, COG is on his way but when that happens we don't know.

when did that happen?

There was an image on Instagram with what I presume was the new training kit with the number on it, the post has disappeared now, probably because we haven't released any images of the new kit and training gear.

I thought they were not back for training until 4th July.

I'd rather we sold Manu (cost £1.5m) and released O'Grady (£500K) and I think both Ince and JFC will move on.
Agree we need 2 strikers and a creative central midfielder plus another centre back as well as BG's full back :lolol:

What is the liklehood of Ridgewell coming in permenant as he is cover for CB and LB. Lynch fits the same bill but I dont think he is good enough in either position plus I read another club was reported to be interested but cant remember which one.

Lynch has gone to QPR.
Quite surprised if I'm honest

Julian Draxler looks handy. Sadly out of our price range I think.

Out of the price range of most teams in England.

My SAUCE says we wont be SINGING him as Hewoughton thought he was rubbish in MOONRAKER.

Well if we had any signings from abroad planned we might have a bit of a wait now the pound has plummeted.

Now the UK will soon be DEPORTING everybody who hasn't got a British passport Europe will be on the brink of a housing crisis.

An easy fix would be to send all their BEST footballers here for free to make some room. :moo:

Tony might have already gone to the Post Office to get his Euros ?

All back tomorrow in theory except Skalak who gets time off after the Euros. Possibly not Sidwell as he's under contract at Stoke until Thursday.

I'll be very surprised if either of these appear for training when they return tomorrow unless clearing out their belongings

Both Manu and O'Grady (who you were referring to in the first quote) are in the photos that were put online on Tuesday, and O'Grady is still wearing number 11 with Knockaert 27.

Is it to early to wet the bed over lack of a real signing?!

I think it definitely is. I am a little disappointed we've not done more so far this summer but we've got a much stronger starting point. We've got a team that could compete against Derby if played today even with no further signings but I would hope to have at least one striker in by then.

You are probably correct, it's just seeing other teams confirming their signings before us always makes me nervous!

I agree re other teams although there's not been a lot of action in the Championship so far. I think we're going to have to accept that, as we're going for higher quality players to finish the squad off, we might have to wait a bit.

Zac Clough Bolton to Norwich £1.5m
