Summer transfer, gossip, speculation and the usual butter ollocks thread

If it's true that we are in for Watkins and he goes to Fulham that would be very disappointing.

Unless he's not our first choice and we're trying to keep it warm whilst trying our first choice.

Who knows ? The next Jordan Bowery could be just around the corner. We just need to be patient.

I have complete faith that we know what we are doing, and when it suits us, we'll get the players we need.  All will be fine.

That's my view. However a signing wouldn't go amiss if only to stop my Dad complaining about the lack of transfer activity for a few days.

Stop complaining, we could be looking forward to another year of championship football, all is good (at the moment).

Without significant investment we are nailed on for another relegation battle. It's a very difficult market for all clubs but our needs are more than most.

He looks like Grant Holt's brother now.

I thought this last summer, but in the end it wasn't.  And subsequently hearing we missed out on both Watkins and Benrahma in the last few days of that window made me feel even more that we made a mess of it.

We didn't miss out on them though, they didn't go anywhere.

From reading about developments in other areas of the club, it seems that we're becoming a well run football club. No reason to think recruitment would be any different.

The fixture list has also given us a slightly extended pre-season to get signings made.

We missed out on them in that we expected to get them but Brentford didn't agree the fees.  It's been reported that even on the last day we were very confident of securing Benrahma.  We didn't and were left massively exposed up front.

Yes, because that really worked well last season...how many strikers?

No, you're right, lets all shit ourselves over nothing.

Sorry, I think I've missed something here, who's shitting their self?

I don't remember us being expected to sign Ollie Watkins last season. Benrahma was linked though but how far it went only the clubs know.

I just think as always we need to be patient. The window does not close until October.

Well whether you believe him or not, Gregg Evans reported that we had discussions over Watkins at £10m but we decided not to go ahead and that even on the final day we were very confident of securing Benrahma.  I know he's only a reporter, but he seemed very confident in his source.  I can't help feeling that even that one extra signing could have made a significant difference to our season.

I'm not bedwetting etc, I just don't necessarily have complete faith that when it suits us we'll get the players we need.
