Pre season signings 2016-17 season ** Official Thread **

[Postman Pat]

Apostolos Vellios to Forest - £1m.

Ex-Everton.

 

[AZ Gull]

The good side is there is still another automatic and 5 play off places to compete for.

So 5 teams make the play-offs in 2016-17? How does that work then?

Maybe we can sign Assombalonga.

Although Derby are interested I think ( which will go down well in Nottingham ).

Reasonable player but surely not worth that much. What are Kayal, Stephens and Knockhaert worth?

Bannan is worth at least 12 mil

Sorry had a brain storm it is of course 4 teams in the playoffs making 5 vacancies still to be filled after Newcastle win the league.

Surprised about Richie.

West Ham bid for him not long ago and he's got properties/businesses and family in Hampshire so thought he would would want to stay relatively local.

Alan Nixon confirming on Twitter that we have just missed out on a left back! No names though!

 

[BensGrandad]

Many will be suggested either as competition for Bong or as first choice.

Can't find his tweet? Do you still have it? All he's tweeting about this evening is his beloved Partick Thistle!

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.

That's old training gear being used, LuaLua has 25 on the top but 30 on the shorts in the same photo on there

Sometimes they use old photos as well.

Steve Sidwell - Free Transfer
Ben Hall - Undisclosed
Glenn Murray - Season loan

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Should we just give the title to Newcastle now and save the cost of travelling and playing up there., The good side is there is still another automatic and 5 play off places to compete for.

None of these new signings, (if they happen), are a guarantee to success. Indeed, they coulld work against them.
