How can you forget we still have super Cissokho!

He's been practically sold for about 2 weeks hasn't he?

It was tongue in cheek, hence the "super" bit. Still not convinced anyone is stupid enough to take him off us mind.

IOh I got that, I just honestly thought he was sold already or I'd have reluctantly included him, much like I include Richards as a right back option.

I reckon that'll be it now, unless we give Samba a contract.

I reckon there will be 2 more after Whelan. A lump of a striker and some kind of creative winger come forward.  Bruce will realise we can't go into the season without them. Murphy or Crouch as the striker are cheap options you would think.  Crouch would be my choice as her can actually play football.  Lawrence would be my other, but happy with anyone that can create.

Tom Lawrence?  Seen him play for Wales a few times and he is more of a drop off striker, as opposed to a target man.

I sometimes bring Lawrence on as replacement for Bale in FIFA. Never let me down.

I'm amazed we actually gave Cissokho a 4 year deal.

Awaits the replies of a 28 year old one cap French international who once failed a medical at AC Milan wouldn't move for anything less....:)

Didn't we give Bacuna a 5 year deal? Unbelievable. No wonder we can't get rid of him.

I think the Westy and Bacuna five year deals were with the view of having them as sellable assets if they didn't "kick on" being that their wages were modest. We ended-up getting £5m for Westwood and him being on a long contract was reflected in the price.

Blues are being linked with Sam Gallagher on loan. I can imagine he would want to play most weeks and I'm not sure we could guarantee that?

What about ulloa if we did have some cash to spend? Would give us that different option .

Would be a good signing, but likely to be expensive?

After all of these signings, surely the van will be backing up to BMH soon to take away all of the dead weight....

Please?
