    Decent profit but **** sake. We are screwed, we will be lucky to make top half at this rate. Side much weaker compared to how we ended the season.

    Sam Gallagher from Blackburn for £1 million + bonuses looks like happening in the next few days. Probably a replacement for Wesley.

    Still looking for another forward to replace Tyrese Campbell.

    Not so much of a profit, our local paper's journalist who cover the club (and has good contacts) says the fee is less than £2m. Are the Albion a bit desperate?

    So with yokusku and asante set to be sold in next 24 hrs that's our spine gone from last season Kipre yok asante. Also johnstone who was great on loan. Lone surviver is Palmer in goal.

    Hard to judge any of our players based on last season but he always looked absolutely knackered after 20 minutes when he played.

    Suspect defensively but caused problems going forward carrying the ball. More suited to the wing than wing back for me

    These “full backs “ do seem to be attacking based generally and forget their main job these days has to be said .

    We’ll see.

    I might suggest that you don't have either the time or the money to do that now.

    Few more rumours for us.

    Rak Sakyi from Palace coming on loan. Been left out of the Palace pre season tour and he wants to stay in London. If true, excited by that one.

    Gialuca Frambotta from Juventus on his way in. He's a left back. Adds to the belief that Paal is on his way out. Still only seen Watford interested in him.

    Clark Salter is wanted by Celtic and Palace now, with Wolves still after him as well.

    I'll be honest, I know nothing about him but from what I've read he is a bit wasteful?

    Can he play on the right or left of a front three? If he can I'm very happy. That gives us plenty of depth in the attacking/forward area.

    Simms, Wright, EMC, Saka, Thomas-Assante, Rudoni, Palmer (plus the likes of Rodrigues & Tavares on the fringe of first team).

    We just need that Hamer replacement, if I'm being greedy. Get that and we are looking tidy.

    I bet he'll be a great signing for you, even though I had never heard of him before the rumours I was hoping we would get him. Future MvE replacement. If Twitter rumours are to be believed, he was kicking up a fuss at his current club trying to force a move. That really puts me off a player.

    Losing Summerville for £25m+. Expected but annoyingly late in the window.

    Fans want us to go for Hamer or Sara but very little in the way of solid links right now.

    2yr deal for Townsend apparently, reported as £500k. If Davis is fit he plays so he’ll be there as backup. Seems a sensible signing for us.

    Still trying to get Szmodics apparently but Blackburn holding out for more money.

    I think there are fairly achievable add-ons to take it past 30m but yes, it's because he has 2 years left on his deal and we can't really take the risk of the massive decrease in value next summer.

    Just my opinion but I think Szmodics would be a bad signing. An old, one hit wonder at his absolute peak value right now which will only decline going forward.

    We have been linked as well, but I really hope he goes to you lot.
