    Legs in this. Stendel wants to off set probable Pinnock sale by signing 3-4 centre backs. If Kerr and Maranda rumours are on the mark that certainly fits with Halmes.

    Stendel also wants another winger/striker. Wilks fits the bill.

    I'd settle for Thiam signing a new contract before someone else wreaps the fruit of our labours.

    There's a player in there.

    I cannot, for the life of me, understand why we would take players on loan from another championship side, train them and then send them back to their parent club improved and ready to play against us. If you're wanting loan players get them from a higher league at least.

    I think if the club take Wilks on loan for the new season then it's possibly connected to his court case .

    The case against him has been put back to May of next year .

    It's unlikely the club would want to pay out serious money for a lad who could lose his liberty for 18 months whilst under contract with us .

    Initial loan with an option to buy should he walk free next year would possibly be where this one is at I reckon .

    I've been speaking to Leeds fan this morning , "yes we've still got some intarn" he told me they were close to signing Helda Costa , remarkable if true , he also said if we get these 2 Leeds players ? We would be fortunate , both highly thought of by the fans on their brief appearances for them, of the 2 he said the centre half was good quality , strong and also gets goals , Wilks needs more experience and a loan appears most likely , he is also highly rated by the coaching staff , Bielsa is a mystery to some fans , and it seems anything he wants he gets, we'll see possibly this week

    No problem with signing these 2 lads but not on loan unless it’s our “with a view to buy” - I don’t want to bring on players for other clubs anymore & am pleased so far that our board/owners have not continued this
