Adama is an exciting talent but I'm not sure that his cameo today answers any of the questions about his positional play and discipline. We looked far better earlier.

Impact sub when opposition defenders are tired or on yellow cards, I'd say.

Agree completely. Teams will fear his unpredictability.

At this level certainly. PL defences will have him worked out though I think.

They didn't last year. He can ve whatever he wants to imo. Depends if the inclination is there.

In time Adama will destroy many high quality defences.

Apparently Jedinak threw his shirt into the crowd at the end of the game. That, losing the captaincy and 3 signings being imminent, it sounds like he will be one.

Still talk of Diawara too.

Italian press still talking about this lead coming from Bologna. 

I would be really gutted to see Benteke at Albion.

I still just can't quite see that happening. Surely Pulis is too awful a thought for him?

Pulis will do it just to spite us such is the man's obsession.

Yes i'm sure that'll be his first thought  ;D

Would be a great signing for them to be honest. None of our business anymore mind. If we were selling him to them then i'd be bothered

If he can quote our stats in a game 2 minutes after they come off the pitch I wouldn't be suprised

Bastion of truth John Percy says we expect to complete jedinak signing and bamford could follow

Bamford would be a different option and give us possibly the most attacking threat in the league. With a stronger defence and more solid midfield we should be looking to compete right at the top

I'd still rather have a no 9 who can play on the shoulder with real pace. Not sure bamford is that man. He seems a bit of a cultured all rounder who may lack the special ability to do it at prem level?

Is that not something to worry about a bit further down the line?

Steve Round could be the new technical director. Was at the game with Wyness yesterday.

If they get this Jedinak signing done, that means the club has built the strong spine which all of us were crying out for at the beginning of the window, pretty much from scratch. Really encouraging.

Not sure about the rumours that we're selling Westwood to fund the move though - I suppose if it really is for 6 million, that's fine, but if it's for a million or two, I would much rather have him stick around as cover than take the cash.

Would Jedinack take Westwood's place in the team? If that's the case I'm all for him.
