unless your legs have gone That's true. But he was one of our hardest working players last season. He's got qualities still to offer. Cracking option to bring off the bench if nothing else. Really!?

I think people are writing Gayle off too soon. I want to see him gone, he is finished!

It's a shame how things have worked out at Stoke for him because he's a Stokie at heart, I spoke to him over the summer and he was determined to make a go of it but it just hasn't worked out for him or us. I hope he has better success at Hudds. As long as we don't see him on the pitch again in a Stoke kit I'm pleased!

Do we think this is our new centre forward, or a Campbell replacement? I think Brown could well be on his way out! Wouldn't Ty be more likely?

As we’ve seen in recent seasons having a decent goalkeeper is crucial so it’s great that we’ve managed to bring Travers in who is quality. The only downside is that it is a loan and not a permanent signing as I see it.

A one to one that with 3 of them. I personally don't know what some people think that there is to come from Edwards, he has had a number of chances to prove himself and hasn't taken any. Time to take a loan in league 1! Time to get rid I'll say!

Hopefully GK and RB done and with trialist maybe signing we move to CH and striker? I think this is where the dosh should be spent? For say max £10m on a striker surely they have to be proven and not gambles? I want to continue with Hoever on the right, but hopefully the Colchester kid can play on the left. That said, Tymon played well there yesterday, but with limited opposition.

Where is Akor Adams going? Rumours say he is on his way somewhere, but I think there is Bundesliga interest in him. - 190 cm tall - Good pace - Strong Pfff I watched him getting stucked in Sery Larsen's back pocket at the Norwegian cup finale. No thanks. Æ tru at dem som får ti hainn karn her gjør et kupp æ da! I think the club who can get this lad will have a real gem on their hands.

I sort of hope we sell Campbell to be honest. It feels like breaking up with somebody where you have known for a while you’re not right for each other but you cling on because some times it’s really good. Think we all like him and have hoped he’ll be the man to lead us to promotion but it hasn’t happened. I think that feeling goes both ways and maybe better to cut ties. Needs to sign an extension or we need to sell I think.

Missed the game last night but sounds like Vidigal looked quite lively! Really looking forward to seeing what these wide players can help us achieve this season. He really was up for it, but I was much more impressed by Chiquinho! If he continues his progress I bet Wolves will recall him in January!

I probably was the poster here who was the biggest fan of Danny, a solid old school no nonsense defender.

Know we've just signed our Portuguese Duo but just noticed United are up for sending Pellestri out on loan. Reckon he'd be a good signing for any club. Looks like a talented kid. Which United? Hartlepool, Newcastle? With bags of pace too!

He's only scored about 10 goals in five years. I'd have scored more in that time 😂 He hardly played as a striker for the last 2.5 seasons. For all Diouf’s faults, if Hughes had just stuck with Diouf as our main striker he’s have scored 10/12 a season…… He actually did that in the Premiership as well!

The reassuring think is there’s now both Monkeycat and Chopper saying he’s signed in a permanent deal. If we’ve binned Sarkic for him and got him on a permanent there can really be no complaints. Really hope they are right on this one!

Wasn't Shefield United one of two clubs interested in Tyrese? Maybe a swap deal with Mcburnie and some money as well?

Still need a goalkeeper, a central defender, a left back and a target man before the season starts, but we're getting closer to a decent squad!

........................ Travers........................ Hoever...........Wilmot........ Davies......... the Colchester kid............Pearson...............Laurent.............. ........................Johnson......................... Chicinho................. Moore...............Campbell who is Davies? We have been linked to the Rangers defender who was at Lpool for a short spell. Don't know how realistic this is, but I think Neill really likes him.

What about Rose at CB ? There should be more goals in that team than our lot the last few seasons, and a better keeper will help, so yes, a possibility of an extra 15 points to sneak in the play offs, obviously dependant on how other clubs have strengthened as well. I haven't seen Rose play much yet, but he might be a better choice than Wilmot?

Dunno what rumours this Bournemouth fan is referencing as there doesn't seem to be much new chatter online Despite his age, soon 31, I still think this is the player that will suit us best and is exactly the kind of player we need to lead our attack. If we need to give him a 3-year-contract I still think this will be our best choice in the current market. He won't be more than 33 when the contract is up then anyway.

Yesterday's game certainly was a kick in the teeth if we think things will change quickly. We controlled most of the game, but as last season and many before we simply aren't good enough in the boxes. We concede way too easy goals and we really struggle to score. Don't forget we probably played with 4-5 possible starters in defence and midfield yesterday!

If we can get close to £10M it's a no-brainer to me! We can at least bring in two very good players for that amount at this level. If we are to believe that Stewart, a player who’s actually had good, full seasons in football, is only worth £2-4 million in football, why would Campbell be worth 3x that? I guess that the club who gets Stewart for that kind of money will have to accept a lot of add-ons too. If not for the injury I think PL clubs could have paid way more than £10M for him. I'm not sure what kind of money we will get for Campbell, but with two PL clubs interested I would say we shouldn't sell for pocket money. Campbell is a strange player in many ways, but still he is our main threat going forward. Because of that we need to make sure that the money we get for him is enough to replace him in some kind of way.

It very much looked like Campbell didn't want to be out there today either. Not that I'm advocating getting rid but he was back to his disinterested worst today. Tyrese can go to either Everton or Sheffield United, fact. If we can get close to £10M it's a no-brainer to me! We can at least bring in two very good players for that amount at this level.

After today's game I really hope we don't see Edwards, Tymon, Thompson and Stevens in our starting line up against Rotherham! Edwards and Stevens both look too slow to be fullbacks, Tymon looks like he is about to be electrocuted every time he receives the ball. He needs to calm down and try to make more decisions right, because right now it looks like he has no idea of what he is doing! With Thompson on the other hand it goes too slowly, and it seems like he is waiting for the oponents to get behind the ball every time. A lot of the others weren't very impressive either, and of course it's just a friendly but stil .... Johnson looked our best player by far the few minutes he played, but got injured of course! Still a lot of work to be done before the Rotherham game! I knew Neil saying Johnson rarely misses games would jinx him. Any idea what happened? Seemed like a knock, but I really couldn't see the whole incident.
