Colour me surprised. Jon boy walks into the club and within six months we're linked with the good old British lads and the weird and wonderful recruitment guru is out on his arse. With all the usual work hard bollocks like that's all we deserve. Talent and hard work and not mutually exclusive..See Bae. Works his conkers off and can do a step over or two

Appoint Huth as the head of recruitment who will find players based on if they can tell if a woman has a cock or not based on a singular glance and we can get Whelan back shoving pigs heads in lockers and we can all have a merry 2014 party in our Wenger coats and our St George’s flags everywhere. Anyone got the Bolton 5-0 on dvd lads let’s rev that up.

Jon Boy walks into the club and helps turn around a squad doing a great impression of the Titanic. Gets the crowd fired up and packs the stadium. Backs the manager and helps him settle in. Susses out the frauds and snake oil salesmen and recruits the people who can talk the talk and walk the walk. Exciting times. PS Our first signing is a Swedish bloke.

Can’t be right. I thought we were only signing players over 35?

Alan Nixon saying we are in for jay Rodriguez really underwhelming Not really sure about the adverse reaction to this. He’s not the answer and he’s not a starter, but his experience in a relatively inexperienced squad, for a player who can deputise across any position on the front line is welcome. He’s also been there, done that and worn the T shirt in terms of getting out the league multiple times. Again… Vardy at 37 has just done the same thing at Leicester. Nouse in away games and a presence in the dressing room etc. Also… we haven’t signed him yet!!! Could just been typical Nixon waffle Inexperienced squad? Who’s that then?

Well if you assume that he’ll be within a squad containing Johansson Tchamadeu Wilmot Rose McCallum(?) Burger Bae Laurent Manhoef Mmaee Vidigal Jojic Tezgel Lowe Etc etc Whoever departs or comes in at this point, it remains that the current set of players do not have experience in a promotion winning side within the championship. There needs to be a blend between those above and those who are perhaps in twilight years but have more to offer than what’s on the pitch

Could just been typical Nixon waffle I wouldn’t be upset with him if it was a one year deal and we brought in someone else to start. The one year deal could see him play as backup. Tezgel could go back on loan until January to get more experience and in January, he could be brought back and pushed for a first team spot.

It’s the Coady’s and Rodriguez’s who know how to win games at this level. Good to have around the place IMO!

Long way to go in this window. Before it's over, we'll also be linked with Posh Spice, Lionel Messi, Lil Wayne, Chuck Norris and Beyonce. F*cking crazy media. Yeah I'm learning...

For balance the same was said about the likes of Ashley Williams, James Chester, Sam Vokes, Dwight Gayle, Stephen Ward, Ciaran Clark etc. The only oldies we've had some kind of success with were Jagielka and Mikel, and even then it was very limited success. Out of the two we've been linked with you'd fancy Coady turning out the better but then there is the back 3 conundrum. You are pinning your one major signing of the summer (in terms of a name and finances) into one particular system that if it goes wrong and you need a plan B you aren't really getting the best out of him if you have to switch to a back 4. I get they'll probably bring more in the way of character to the dressing room and that is undervalued, but in some quarters it's also overvalued.

When he was brought in as an interim TD you had a point - interim TD makes no sense and all he could be was a cheerleader. Having made him permanent he can't afford to be just a cheerleader and by the sounds of it he is getting hands on. Whether he will be good at the job remains to be seen.

Jagielka was ok but absolutely scraping the barrel.

TD/SD is a long term appointment - the only way you can make a judgement on one within six months of their appointment (unless things immediately go tits up - which they haven't) is to reel off your preconceptions and prejudices.

There’s clearly a huge gulf in the direction people want to see the club take. I don’t understand why we’d change tac on recruitment on something that had positive signs and has been given only 1 season to go back to something more like what’s failed us over and over. See how long JC sticks with this version.

Not saying it will either work or it won’t but there just wasn’t any basis for the appointment whatsoever. Even when we’ve taken a punt on manager/hc they’ve got some sort of track record. This appointment was made because it would be popular with a section of the fan base dumbed down populism.

Last pre-season it felt like the transfer policy was to build for the medium/long term. This time round with the speculation around Coady and Rodriguez it feels the thinking is much more short term - bringing in players who might not be round for long to have a tilt at promotion this coming season.

Random, infrequent tweeter Boro fan (so may know him?) suggests Gibson is joining the Norwich-Stoke Bosman train too?
Of course, could well be bollocks.
Fits the MO of signing anyone English over 30 though!

Maybe bridging a gap until the likes of Dixon, Tezgel and Sidibe can step up ?
