    I thought we needed people off the wage bill first?

    I would forget about any additions and look to off load the likes of Ross Mac (sorry to have to say that) Micah Richards and Gabby, Delat has gone but I would have kept him as cover!

    These last 18 matches are absolutely ***** and we need all pulling together, A new bod in the camp may just disrupt our current set up.

    I'm happy for no more signings UNLESS we get the Beast back!!

    It’ll be interesting to see where he’s going to get his playing time. The back four look pretty settled and covered as does the defence midfield area especially as Thor is starting to make his mark. Seems an odd time to throw some inexperience into that mix.

    DeLaet took £30000 off the payroll so that should help.

    Great if true mate, RDL’s hometown club Royal Antwerp are skint. That’ll teach em for hammering us in the UEFA cup.
    They’re now a feeder club for manure to send all their youngsters to. I think that we will be heavily subsidising RDL’s wages, as much as 90%. Can’t see Antwerp paying him more than 3-4 grand a week.
    Hope I’m wrong

    Did think of that after I posted it. Maybe United are doing something similar.

    Axel T looks a beast of a player and I think SB will play him in front of the back 4 - Jedi is injury prone and Whelan is inconsistent, plus we need cover for JT & JC. A canny loan signing and with Thor's recent performances it gives us options, especially when seeing out those one-nils away from home.

    Really confused now. We needed a striker as most teams claim to need 4, with Kodjia out, that left us with:

    Gabby……...Career App 399….85 goals…..Ave...4.63 games per goal
    Davis…………………….........22……2…………….........11.00
    Hogan…………………........201….86……………..........2.36

    So, what do we do? We sign a player with a 1 in 3+ career ratio in Championship/League 1 and 2.

    Grabban…Career App….363…..114 goals……Ratio..3.18

    Now in fairness football is about form and for the first time in his career he’s scored 12 in 20 league n cup at 1.66 games in this league for struggling Sunlun.
    Hope he hasn’t shot his bolt for this season. If he has and doesn't score in the last 17 then his ratio will go back to 3+.

    Nonetheless, welcome Lewis, and good luck.

    I googled him last night and not sure what to make of it? However hogan and gabby can't stay fit although both are easily good enough at this level. I can't see the point keeping either next season. Davis has been overused this season because of the injuries and better off the bench. Grabban should take some pressure off Davis now so touch wood (freers head) he will do ok and we can really push for an automatic spot.
