A mere £10m for Ince We wisely spent £12m on Afobe £6m on Clucas Similar on MacLean Jones then spent £4m on Smith and £7m on Vokes Terrible recruitment. Worst in the history of football. Pales into insignificance when you’ve paid 18 million for Wimmer and Imbula. Let’s not forget Berahino! We’ve really been shit for a long, long time |

I’ll mail my colours now in the hope he comes and scores 25 but I would be very sceptical of spending that money on a player with a record of injury and short pedigree feels like another of our transfer misses in the making stansfield the same money every time and if he os not available then elsewhere for me unless cannin can be structured on a loan first staggered payment on games and goals .
i actually we need a right back as much as a striker when Gallagher is fit

I haven’t seen enough of Cannon to say if he’s a great player or what we need. But if our scouts have identified him as being so and our number 1 target then we’ve got be ready to pay out 6/7m if we conceivably can. We’ve been desperate for a decent striker for so long and we’ve just got to accept you have to overpay for strikers. If we can get a young, decent striker in in a 4 year contract it will go a long way to sorting us out. If we want someone who can make a difference then you’ve got to pay out this sort of money. Otherwise we will forever be taking chances on cheaper alternatives which will be long shot gambles. And if we haven’t got it we shouldn’t have spent what amounts to most of it in other areas that could have been covered with frees, loans and our own promising youngsters. But our promising youngsters as you class them aren't ready. Lowe not good enough at moment for championship. Tezgel to light weight to lead the line for a season. Sidibe, promising yes, but still only 16 |

Sidibe, promising yes, but still only 16 If they're not going on loan they are good enough for 4th and 5th choice for their positions and Sidibe is 17 had to be before signing professional terms and you seem to have completely ignored the other two thirds of the equation frees and loans. If we haven't got enough FFP headroom left to cover a decent striker then I'm afraid we should have forgone the players we've payed fees for and ensured our absolute maximum striker kitty. Goals are neither irrelevant or overrated. |

He would be a cracking signing and one which I would have thought is above us!
He was great at preston, should have been given more of a chance at Leicester also.
We are a low/mid championship club! This would be a fantastic bit of business. He would be the best player in our team

I can’t say I know anything of cannon, but going off the oatcake recommendations I’ll reserve judgement on any signing that’s obsessed over on here after the oatcake telling the club to brake the bank for the likes of vidigal, junior, burger etc

I have a horrible feeling that we are going to blow a lot of money on Cannon and he won't work for us. He has had one good half season in the Championship. Having watched Koumas and Junho today I am convinced that Koumas can play centrally and lead the line by himself and that Junho doesn't understand the number 10 role so is better on the left. Therefore I would rather spend a lot on Cundle who was linking well with Bae and Million last year and forget about Cannon. I have no idea what sort of striker Cannon is and don't want to spend a lot on him if it will force Koumas wide. As good as Koumas was yesterday, he’s 18. He’s not going to conditioned for a 46 game Championship season. |

True but I don't think we need to spend £6 million on Cannon who sounds like the same sort of player and won't come to sit on the bench. Gallagher, Tezgel and Mmaee with another cheaper option should give us the option to rest him. Unlike others I wasn't too disappointed in Mmaee yesterday. He played alongside Ennis who has no finesse or anticipation about him. Mmaee kept the ball on occasions and got a couple ogf good knock ons with his head. Considering he hasn't played much foitball since March I thought his cameo was promising. |

Much that I’d like it to happen as a long term investment I’m not sure that at this time we don’t need a more wise, older experienced head.
I’m not saying Antonio but with Koumas at the club already it’d be great to have a Fletcher type (without the injuries) to bring him along / learn from him whilst contributing.
It’d also be of great value to have that type around the club.
It does worry me that we’re short of experienced players who have quality and are used to playing under pressure.

As with Laurent, some people have a really pathetic agenda against Mmaee where their mind is made up about his performance before the game is even started. Those people are embarrassing simple as that. Mmaee did nothing wrong yesterday. He held the ball up well a few times, couple good flick ons a couple times and chased things down. But those with an agenda won't have seen any of those things. |

He also had not played for 12 months You're exaggerating the "had not played for 12 months", it was closer to about 7 as he was Leicesters number 1 at the end of May 2023. His keeping wasn't fine initially but after a number of games, he settled and looked very good towards the end of the season. Johansson ought to be afforded the same patience that Iversen was, especially when he's our player and not on loan. |

Thought we got him after activating a relegation release clause? Can remember Hull, Leeds and Sheff Utd being linked to him |
