A disaster 

Not really a disaster. At worst, rather poor. His loan season was okay. It was only last season were it looked like his legs had gone.

Somehow, some people never seem to see this coming, over and over and over again. Sturridge, Defoe, Walcott, Bertrand… this summer it’s Bale and Phil Jones who you’d be mad not to want to sign, apparently.

We might have signed them but won’t know for six months 

#borderline miracle 

Hah! You're too pessimistic Ron! 3 players signed before the start of July! A coaching reshuffle underway, good signs for improved recruitment. The only thing we can really grumble about is the lack of a new kit atm, and we aren't alone in that... Well that and no 4th signing I suppose.

I’ll go for two signings as I am not counting Lis as obviously going out on loan.

TBH the new kit doesn’t bother me really.

I like sound of new number 2 especially if he can stop us conceding 60+ every season.

Shields isn’t done yet but think that’s a good appointment if tempered by dealing only with youth hasn’t he? But he is obviously going to be better than Wee Ross:-)

I know nothing about Svanberg but that sounds a go’er.

Time will tell and I just hope the coach recruiting continues and improves and Ralph listens because another season of shocking tactics ,substitutions and game management will see him gone

Joe Shields would be the replacement for Martyn Glover. Matt Crocker was Ross Wilson's replacement.

You know, considering how little interest you love to tell us you have in women's football, you don't half bang on about it a lot.

better than spending all my time slagging off the tories on a football forum pal.

Thank Christ for that. A lucky escape. Everton LOL

You'll be sorry when we are facing the midfield pairing of Winks and Deli

After Everton Harry Winks may well be working in a Deli.

That would be right up there with the Carillo signing.

20 million would be absolutely barmy. can't see it.

I pray it's a case of trying to drive the price up. His defending has looked worse than TAA when I've seen him.

Would be bizarre given we’ve got 3 good full backs already and we don’t have one decent striker 

Exactly. Nail on the head

Wonder if this might be a sign for Saints, and a loan to one of the Sport Republic outposts.

Gdańsk or Second division football in Turkey could  be a difficult one to sell to UK based players. Thanks

€18m is a bit mad really. For someone who has underperformed and barely played for quite a few years. Double what they paid for him. Bonkers really 

A bargain compared to what they got from selling the donkey to us.

scored a lot of goals last season from midfield, and that's a skill in itself, but I am not sure he has the all round game to make the jump up to the Prem. I can see a Championship side taking him, but not sure a Prem side will. If they did, he'd be loaned out I suspect.

We love a Celtic signing, but my guess is he’ll go somewhere like Palace or Everton.

I can't see us, Palace or Everton giving him first team football yet. So, if that's what he is after, that wont happen.
