The rumour going round today is 18mill plus iverson and a young player for souttar from Leicester. Luke Thomas would be ideal.

According to Nigel Johnson he really was injured I think the club would have to put that line out.

Harry sat behind me in his box, my father asked him straight was he leaving, he said he didn't know
At the end of the game I wished him all the best and he thanked me
I know there are no revelations there but he is definitely going

Can we predict who we will be signing, providing Souttar deal goes through?.. Iverson Stewart Young CB from Burnley mentioned yesterday Pearson (wishful thinking) Do you mean Ross Stewart? Can’t see us discussing any deals with Alex Neil this January to be honest lads.

Don't think it works like that If we can get the money together (that's a big if) and if the player fancies a big pay rise then that'll trump any bad feelings

He’s rumoured to be signing a new deal in the next week or so, we’ll see I guess.

Sounds like there'll be at least one wide player
"We want to bring some players in that'll be more creative, and maybe look for the strikers' forward runs and those forward passes. I don't think it's as simple as the forwards not taking chances. Your team needs to complement each other - and we've got a team more than capable of playing 3-5-2 and hopefully if we can add a bit of variation before the deadline, we'll have another string to our bow in terms of playing a different shape if necessary"

No sign of Keinan Davis in the Watford squad today, is he injured?
Ollie Mc Burnie looks to be fourth choice at Sheff Utd. Would he be available for loan?

He is clearly holding out for the green light on list B, whilst "monitoring" list A. At some point the Souttar deal will come to a point where its either "show us the money or we walk away" and we pull the trigger on list A. Either way the team come Feb 1st will look a lot different. As an aside if there is any truth in the Lowe interest then it may be a Brucie bonus, and perhaps has us being in a stronger position RE Harry.

Clearly looking for a different type of striker. Maybe a creative midfielder too.

We definitely need to get maximum dollar for Souttar something I think the club in general has been garbage at getting for years. Sadly I don’t think his value will be any higher than it is now and if we can get 20mill then I’d be happy.
If we can reinvest then great but tbh I’m more interested in where the next Souttar/ Collins will player is coming from as for me in our current state it’s going to be the life blood for us and FFP. We need to either nurture our own or buy low and sell high and we’ve been pretty crap at the latter.

Dykes record at QPR is one in 4, 26 in a 100 Davis record at Forest, in a promotion side, was 1 in 3 ,5 in 15 which is much better than I thought Surprised he only played 15 though 4 in 18 at Watford Would like more goals really but suppose not being realistic ☹️

If we ignore improving our midfield and waste even more money on yet another striker, I'm going to do something publicly disgusting and futile. Wouldn't mind us getting a "hold up" man but ffs we need to change our approach.

I think we have the finishers if we can help them get firing.

18m + Iverson would be really good business for me. Hopefully a sell on and a few add ons too.
I wonder who the other young player might be? Doubt it’ll be anyone with much first team exp

Wouldn't mind us getting a "hold up" man but ffs we need to change our approach. Maybe we need to use the midfielders we have better. They did well today Laurent can be an excellent CDM. Joe Allen was much better for Stoke when he tempered his ambition and played a role for the team. Laurent is such a player, you can't just pick him and allow him to play what he consideres to be his natural game.

Yes, I remember Joe having some excellent outings when he showed discipline. I'm just against the expense of buying another unicorn only to have him die on the vine with no support whatsoever. Edit: I'm probably still absorbing that performance from Laurent and too pessimistic to actually see what's in front of me - the makings of a good CDM.

Baker was better today too, he needs to play those balls he was shaping to play and then had second thoughts. He's not going to match Laurent for physicality so for me if we're not going to have two physical centre mids he needs to become a bit of a quarterback and start spraying the ball from deep or be used further forward.
