Summer transfer rumours, speculation and out-and-out b*ll*cks.

As a semi-relaistic wish list, I'd like that DCM we all know we need, who needs to be someone to come straight into the first team.  After that a utility defender and I think we'd be looking a lot more secure than we are now.

Grant was just on ts. Doesn't expect anyone else to come in,unless they can move a couple out.

Not too confusing then.

I think the DCM is the crux at the moment and I agree they have to be first name on the team sheet material even if it means spunking what ever money we have on them. I like the idea of the 'utility' defender and looking myopically in the market someone like Nedum Onuoha would be a very decent fit, should be available on loan if a transfer fee is a problem. 
Then a cheap lesser known player like Wesley Verhoek, or similar to fight for a place on the wings.

I heard that, but wouldn't agree with that summation.

He basically mumbled a bit of football cliche along those lines, but also threw in an "always looking to get people in" blah blah blah.

The only real clear thing I thought was that if there is anyone in, it'll be from the cheap and cheerful end of the market.

Disappointing. 37m in, 13 out, and not much more.

I didn't include Verhoek or similar as for the attacking midfield positions we already have Ireland, N'Zog, Albrighton and Bannan, plus the option of using Gabby or the Fonz wide.  I can't see Randy sanctioning any more spending it that area with those options already in place.

The 'McLeish wants more signings' story on SSN now: http://dlvr.it/dnfzn

I'm not quite sure that's what he said...

[dave.woodhall]

Who's Grant and what's TS?

[Mazrim]

Who's Grant and what's TS?

Assistant manager.
TS = Talksport.

[Matt C]

Is that Talk Sport and Grant as in the Assistant Manager?

[dave.woodhall]

Ah. Thanks.

Come on Dave Keep up

new seaon aint arrived and I feel depressed

[Phil from the upper holte]

I don't think Gabby or the fonz are going to be effective wide John, I thought Fonz was poor when he came on, He's control was poor.

I get the impression that were never going to go with more than one up front, when Fonz came on last night he went wide until Bent went off

True , I was just thinking this myself over my Weetabix .   That DCM is so important ,,
