I'd be over the moon with Tammy coming back

Look at the Premier League top scorers list, so many have come from the Championship

There is only two; Vardy and Wilson. Both have pace and play off the shoulder.

Is there anyone we have not been linked to since we got promoted?

Papertalk that Kalinic maybe off and we want a new keeper. If so, let’s go to stoke and get Butland

Not in the top ten there isn't.

At this rate we will singlehandedly fix our neighbours FFP problems - if I remember correctly last summer they were relying on Stoke selling Butland for the sell on clause.

I’d happily take Butland as first choice with Nyland/Steer fighting it out as number two if Kalinic is to be sent out on loan / sold.

SHA get 20% of the transfer fee....

I find Butland a tad overrated tbh, his kicking is as bad as Guzan on an average day.

Think Neil Etheridge will be on our radar. Worked with DS and Cutler at Walsall and had a very good season for Cardiff, 11 clean sheets and saved three penalties.

Sure he'll be available for 6/7m so 20m cheaper than Butland aswell.

Bit harsh on Steer to look for a new keeper. If we do, we'll have a very different side by the season starts.

Cutler is the best goalkeeping coach we've had since Paul Barron in the 90s imo. If it's his opinion that Jed may struggle in premier league if he makes a few errors early on that should be respected.

I'd feel more comfortable having an experienced premier league number one in our ranks, we simply don't atm.

For some reason the media seem to think they're the same thing, or that scouting young players to make a profit on is also moneyball. Using data to identify players is sabermetrics and has been around long before moneyball. Which was identifying undervalued players that could do a specific job (it was OBP for the A's) that you (well Billy Beane) valued really high but other teams didn't. Beane would have signed an 80 year old if he could get on base and was cheap.

 Are Villa signing Kevin Youkilis - The Greek God of Walks. Good news if they are, I already have two jerseys with his name on

I agree it would be harsh. We have other priority areas for sure. Let's fill those, and if by some miracle we still have some money left over and there is a viable option, then we can consider a GK.
