Fr Abraham?  Praise be!

Will he bring The Smurfs with him? 'Handy Smurf', 'Strong Smurf' and 'Football Smurf' would do okay but I'm not sure about the rest, like 'Lazy Smurf', 'Dopey Smurf' and 'Accident Prone Smurf'.

Yes I know I have given away the fact that I collected Smurfs as a young kid (in the days when they were exclusive to a certain petrol station chain) but to be fair I have just been offered a couple of hundred quid for them.

All a bit out of the blue!

I wonder how much fuel was bought to get them?

Is...

El Ghazi
Grealish
McGinn
Bolasie

Kodjia or Abraham

A better attacking front 5 than;

Adomah
Hourihane
Grealish
Snoddy

Grabban

Certainly a lot quicker.

Small Heath are going to try and outdo us by naming their new plumbing sponsor - El Kharzi

El Ghazi was highly rated at Ajax a few years back, linked with £20+ million moves.  Didn't realize he had even gone to Lille.

More encouraged by this one than Bolsaie, in all honesty. With Abraham too our forward options will be as good as anything in this division.

We still seem a centre half light if we're having to use Jedinak as a stop gap.  And not convinced by either goalie, so John Ruddy or similar on a cheap/loan deal might be additional insurance there.

Can anyone tell me, was El Ghazi getting in the Lille side? Is this loan to buy?

So is Gordon Strachan. Although I don’t think we’re signing him.

What is the latest on FFP?

There was a lot of criticism on here that last season's loans left us with no legacy or long term plan.  How are we affording these wages and how is this approach any different to last years?

I welcome the new signings, but is this shit or bust again?
