I'll be totally amazed if we don't sign a new RB before the window shuts.

At first I thought we must have a new ready made replacement about to sign. MH saying Bardsley gone due to Edwards development but we do have the fall back as Cameron at RB not ideal but a make do. Let's see what happens along way to 1Sept hopefully a competitive RB will be on our books to challenge Johnson. Just listening to Hughes' interview from last night. Can't read too much into it, but.... "We'll look at all areas. I think, from our point of view, we're quite comfortable in that position. We've got a number of players, even if we don't bring anybody in, we can still cover that position. I think the development of Tom Edwards has obviously played a part in our thinking in terms of allowing Phil to go. That's part of it.
Johnson is 33 next month, and only managed 25 games in 15-16 and 21 in 16-17. So pretty much 40% of games missed. Even if you ignore the worst-case scenario of him breaking his leg at Everton, it's not really sustainable for us to be left with Cameron and Edwards as depth there. We are dealing with a man in whose judgement Johnson was worth an extended contract. It's not even worth trying to predict what action he will take.

Totally agree there's something not right, it's not been the same for 12 months now, the fact we have been the lowest spenders for the last 2 seasons says to me daddy Coates isn't interested anymore

I'll be totally amazed if we don't sign a new RB before the window shuts. FWIW, The Sentinel is reporting the same: "Mark Hughes is in the market for a new forward and a right-back after allowing Marko Arnautovic and Phil Bardsley to join West Ham and Burnley respectively."

How about Sam Byron from West Ham? Full of promise when at Leeds and apparently failed to settle in London. We could take him for free and walk away from the Arnie add-ons (which are unlikely to materialise anyway). Would be my first choice. Byram, Edwards, Johnson

Joel Ward from Palace is surely worth a bid, an upgrade from what we have at the moment, also his contract is up at the end of the season so we may be able to get him on the cheap Good player, but..... Why would he come here? palace have a new manager and are being linked with veltman from Ajax and if they sign him they will have veltman, kelly and ward, so to get first team football week in week out

Apparently it was a ridiculous idea when I suggested Delph would add cover options wide left the other day......

Been impressed with Edwards myself so I'm glad Hughes has noticed him!

At some point we have to find the balls to give our young players a chance. In Edwards, we have one of the very best young players in the country, we simply have to give him an opportunity. He's been impressive in pre season and we have other options in the squad if he needs to be taken out of the team at various times.
