As ever we need a midfielder with a left foot like Gordon's.

He'd play just in front of a Schwepper?

Reported yesterday that we had postponed a medical slot from mon to Tuesday and 2 booked for Wednesday. Bearing in mind the new keeper, Bristol city lad, Man City lad in directors box last night, JOHN McGinn, Abraham’s and couple of others mentioned, I wonder who will be the ones fitting into medical slots allocated or genuinely at the top of the clubs priority wanted list ?

The medical was for Hendricks, but he got stuck in Crosstown Traffic.
I heard that he slipped getting out of the Bathtub

On watching McGinns highlights I was reminded a little of Bruce Rioch.

Really hotting up now. I do feel jack will go big shame but if it allows us to bring in a few it might be for the greater good.

I’d drive Kodjia to boro myself he isn’t a team player and if we can get decent money for him at his age is defo sell

I think McGinn would be a great addition good age and value it’s a no brainer

Really glad we’re targeting young players too.

We need a striker whether on loan with some stature who can hold the ball up

I had to Google what you lot were on about regarding Gin.

Are there any other other Mad Men like me on this forum who didn't get that selection of Hendricks puns ?

You’re just not experienced enough for Hendricks puns

I'm not really sure what is going on with the goalkeeping situation at this point.  Thought Steer did OK last night and made some good saves, and saw that Bunn was on the bench.  I'm presuming Sarkic is still at the club, so I can't quite understand why we are signing another two keepers unless a couple are going out.

I wouldn't be happy with either as my No.1 so I'm glad we're looking at Nyland. I think Bruce was being polite about keeper injuries, I think he really means they aren't good enough.

Looking like Boro are going to have a serious pot to dip into in these next 2 days.  £18mil for Traore and £15mil for Gibson (what price does that make Jack?).

If they want to spend some of it on Kodjia then I'll be delighted.  However, that would probably see us needing to bring in TWO loan strikers.

The other problem is that we are going to be in direct competition with Boro for several players.  Hopefully, we can compete.

That's fair enough, but that is going to leave us with five keepers in the squad.

I thought sarkic  was out of contract and bunn the same. Wouldn't be surprised if bunn is now the goal keeping coach.
Steer is obviously not rated so needs to be replaced and the athletico keeper must be on a loan to buy if we really rate him as one for the future.
Otherwise you are 100% spot on 5 keepers is over kill

Just checked wiki and Sarkic signed a 3 year deal in 2015 and was on loan at Wigan last season and never played a game for them. Think this says it all
