Lawrence would have been excellent. So would Snodgrass. Still need someone with pace and power to stretch a defence though.

Shane Long will be going for £10m+ I reckon in these days of crazy, crazy prices.

And the rest. 

If Hogan is worth £15 million Shane Long must be worth closer to £60 million.

Does anyone think a 7m/10m signing is still likely to happen? I'm hoping clearing the decks might get something in closer to the deadline but as of now I expect nothing but 1-2m players or loans

No, but there again I am not sure we need to be giving a clot like Bruce large amounts of money.

How much did Huddersfield spend on their team? Brighton? Bournemouth when they went up? Next to naff all.

We need to get better at spending

Not at 30 he isn't. He's a twat anyway, don't want him.

Plus his best two games of the season tend to be playing against us, so we will have already taking his best performances away by signing him

And he is a twat

Nathaniel Mendez-Laing who scored twice against us on Saturday came on a free from Rochdale in the summer, just to put some perspective on our useless signings!

Odds-on favourites for Snodgrass by all accounts. Left out of their squad the other day....

I have always rated him at all the clubs he has been at. I don't remember him ever doing anything to make me think he was a twat.

At least he isn't getting on a bit and quite slow....
