Cheers, yeah, that's the one on one of those Radio 2 Live Lounge type compilations I think? I remember having to buy the whole CD to get it on the jukebox but sounds great. I've got this fella:https://soundleisure.com/product/sl15-slimline-cd-jukebox/ It's probably the most self indulgent thing I've bought but bloody amazing.

Cheers, yep, well before my time too but loads to like about Small Faces and Steve Marriott voice is great.

Yeah, and you can actually make a case that another striker isn't a particular priority and we can make do with what we already have. Archer, Armstrong, Stewart and BBD have all had decent spells in the championship to some extent. Personally I'd like someone tall, rangy, decent pace and good mobility but I don't think we'll go mental on a big money signing so someone like Downs fits the bill. No idea if he'll be a success or not but the idea is decent and we'll judge the reality if he signs. A more established player would still come with an element of uncertainty but for different reasons.

Yep, just goes to show how difficult it is to judge players and also how expensive strikers with those kind of attributes are. I watched the two play off games against Charlton and specifically paid attention to Kone and wasn't that impressed. Both games were god awful with very little quality from either side so I won't say he's bad, just that on those showings he didn't catch the eye much.

And you won't know any of that until the end of the season.

Probably not although I wouldn't mind him in. I got the impression that the early deals Solak was talking about would be mostly at the cheaper end and easy deals to do. Fellows (or anyone else linked with premier league moves) is going to wait as long as they possibly can to see if a deal comes up. If it doesn't then that's when they go to a championship club.

I didn't dislike Brooks and he seems like a good lad but, based on his performances for us and given the chance I probably wouldn't sign him. I'm guessing Fellows must definitely be off if Brooks is coming in.

Coventry fans seem to really rate him: https://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/threads/milan-van-ewijk.168172/

Nah, fair enough. Looking at his record though I'm not sure anyone would get excited if his name wasn't prefixed with "ex-Liverpool youngster".

Only started 7 of those 17 though and has played 21 minutes since 15th Feb (he was out for three games with injury initially). Pretty clear he's not what you'd call a first team regular.

Yeah, my brief research has concluded he got a move to Austria (10M must be a pretty big fee for that league), couldn't hack the physicality of the league and is angling for a move back. Sounds more like trying to drum up a bit of interest in him than anything else and if can't hack the physical demands of Austria then it doesn't exactly fit the profile Spors was talking about.

Yeah, they signed him for about 10M + a 17.5% sell on fee so he wouldn't come cheap though.

So the striker appears to be Downs. I'm quite happy about that but can see why some would have reservations. Wonder who the creative midfielder is? There's not been a massive amount of links but the Besfort Zeneli one didn't seem too bad and he seems to have the ability to go past a player in a similar way to Stuart Armstrong which I think we missed last season.

Not sure we're short at CB - we'll still have Wood, Edwards, Quarshie, Sanda. I don't think Stephens goes and can always play Bree and Taylor there too. Not a huge amount of experience mind but in terms of numbers then it's fine.
