We get 5 loans to use per season. It would be mental not to use them if good opportunities come available. I expect we'll use the loan market but I'd prefer to buy a CF a second versatile one that can play wide or in the middle on loan would be great. Just want us to have a good base from our own players. Loans can be the icing on the cake. In an ideal world it would be nice BB I agree but if we get him on loan and he does the business then so be it. We definitely need two strikers in though mate as what we have aren't good enough imo.

He signed a 5 year contract with Leicester didn't he? Won't he be a high cost? What do you want us to sign some cheap striker? Even pretty average ones cost a lot. Edit he should have about £6.4M left on their books. No, but how much money do we have to spend, especially on one who has just had a back injury ?

Maybe better value for money if we look abroad again?

How do they need money? They have just been promoted Aren’t they getting a points deduction their finances are that bad? The relationship between a companies' finances and their compliance with FFP aren't necessarily linked and it's normally FFP that causes a points deduction. I say all this but don't really know what the case is with Leicester.

Fortunately, he’s a bit of a bullshit merchant. Football Insider are much better. I hear this all the time nowadays, they're all bullshit merchants, football insider have loads of absolute shockers, same as all the chancers in a transfer window, rumours is rumours. Literally, wait for John Percy if all we want is not rumour but fact, the rest is 99% guesswork and flannel. I’m not saying don’t post it, I enjoy all the rumours. At least FI have a half decent track record.

Frazer Fletcher was at FI when he broke numerous of our stories last summer before anyone else got the news. When he left and joined teamtalk FI went downhill as a lot of others left too I think. Also noticed they started posting a lot of random shit none transfer related with clickbait titles and ads. Percy McGrath Frazer TeamTalk Footyinsider Nixon In that order for me. Everyone else on Twitter I don't even take notice of

No, but how much money do we have to spend, especially on one who has just had a back injury ? I wasn't advocating for signing Cannon I've got no idea what he's even like as a player. If we haven't got a good wedge to spend we can more or less forget signing a decent striker of our own. I'd imagine we are in a position to spend at least a couple of decent fees. I think we'll spend between £5/10M on a striker.

I'd sooner have some rumours than a thread about transfers devoid of transfer gossip. Yeah sadly some people haven't got the mental capability to deal with the fact that some people like Chopper actually do get info and have a good track record. Of course it is not a 100% record as it's impossible to have that. But those on here that cry about rumours will focus on the 1 or 2 wrong rumours and ignore the numerous correct ones.

I can’t ever remember anyone who posts on here naming a player we’ve gone on to sign that hasn’t already been rumoured elsewhere.
There’s only one poster that potentially would know the goings on behind the scenes but for obvious reasons won’t be able to share any of it on here.

I aren't in the 'cirtle' or dm group that Chopper operates in so in terms of people on here Fish is the only one to take note of really...and understandably he can't and won't post namees for obvious reasons

Davesviews was definitely in the know and & had a good line of contact somewhere within. I know Lee Darnborough & whilst we've spoke general footy stuff in the past when he was at Hull, I certainly wouldn't ask him anything now he's employed by Stoke out of respect for his job. But equally I wouldn't expect him to even answer anything if I did. The most I'd do is say.. "That Bocat was a great signing 👍🏻", as an example is most I'd discuss anything SCFC about going forwards.
