It will be interesting to see if we are going to get anyone else in.

I think Lambo clearly identified targets pre-season and got them in nice and early which was encouraging.

However none of them to me stand out as stand out stars someone to improve the first team. To me they are players with potential who could and I stress the word could improve and get into the first team. It will be difficult for some of them to break into the first team but injuries suspensions will come and they need to take their chance.

In terms of players we could bring in..........I think Scott Sinclair could be a good shout to add competition for Gabby and Weimann.

I also think at home against the teams around us we are really going to need to play one ahead of Delph, El Ahamdi, Sylla etc. That could be Tonev but we really dont know. I would love us to go and spend big and get a Milner etc but Im afraid I just cant see it happening.

I think Milner will get itchy feet soon and he would be abs brilliant back in the centre mid

Was hoping with Bent gone we might bring another player in.

Just read an article saying we are looking at Ajax's Viktor Fischer.  Whether that's true or not I don't know but he's highly rated and scores goals from midfield.

Cheers, Wiki says he's a left winger. Good goal record.

Ajax will be looking for big money for Fischer when they decide to sell him. I'd love it to be true but I just can't see it.

Same here, i think if they did sell a lot of Europes top clubs would be interested , Man U and Chelsea were sniffing around last season reportedly.

I would like us to bring in another player before the transfer window closes if we have the money to do a deal.

The worrying / annoying thing with Baker's injuries is that he's never out for too long, which makes me think he's just got a very low pain threshold. A bit like Heskey.

Arjen Robben was like that. If you drew a Venn Diagram, Robben, Heskey and Baker would intersect

Talking of the defence, interesting to see Baker injured again - am I imagining it or is he a bit injury prone?

As I said a few posts back on it, Vlaar and Baker are both made of glass. Baker never seems to go more than 3-4 games without taking a knock, his best run was the end of last season when he made 10 plus in a row.

Considering that he's prepared to put his head in where some players wouldn't put a foot, I can only imagine he's a masochist.
Either that or you're wrong, Russell.

Last week on here it was how shit Clark is and how much better Baker is. This week it's Clark looked good and Baker is a wimp.
We go again.

Baker is very injury prone, it has to be said.

I'd say it's more he sticks himself in the way even if it means getting injured.

Good point RL. He will put anything in front of the ball to stop a shot. Would still love a back up as well as Okore .......

Disappointed we didn't move on in on parker ! Would have beefed the midfield and added playing nous

He's 32 and has got a three year contract at Fulham.

Would you have wanted us to give him that length deal?

no a 1 year loan deal in exchange for bent though now i realse he was at spurs and insteading of pressing delete i just carried on.. who else does that but presses delete instead be honest we al  do !!

My Mum jjjdoes that. And then will carry on typing. After a bit she'll say oh how did that jjj get there, I should delete it.

Sorry about that, there was somebody at the door so I had to stop typing for a little bit.
