We need to follow the same recruitment strategy as last summer.

Absolutely.

Lets rinse & repeat.

Will the next future record transfer fee come on down!

Absolutely delighted to see the deal done because the more money we bring in, the stringer OUR Club becomes...just as long as we trust the board to do the right things.

Which I do

That's Eli fully confirmed as gone, great bit of business.  I'm looking forward to the Just v Turnbull local derby!

[Mad Dog]

Undisclosed at Swansea's request apparently, but it is being reported at around £6.3 - £6.5m.

Not that we would have disclosed it either.

I'm sure a decent percentage of that goes to his former club, but still a very good fee for a player regardless.

Hopefully Watt and Just get bigger moves after this season amd we have good add ons tied onto their fees.

I can see Just going further than Swansea. The only place I see Watt going, though, is back to Scotland once the Turks either stop paying his wages or decide to tear up his contract.

And probably to Castle Grayskull, unfortunately.

[texanwellfan]

Hopefully some more incomings during the upcoming week. Need Our current squad to step up and get us thru the away leg and then up the quality of the squad for the Q3 round.  
Fingers crossed 🤞

I've always been confused by that saying. It's been a while since I brushed up on my He-Man lore, but isn't Castle Grayskull where the good guys were based? Snake Mountain was where the evil lads congregated, no?

Rumour of Brad Spencer from Falkirk.  Not inspiring, but if it happens he'll have my support.

Their captain and was one of their best players last season,  and wouldn't cost £600k like his faither

And probably not wreck his club car (or am I thinking of someone else?)

I'm as confused as you. Just lazy repetition on my part: huvnyacloo.

On last night's limited evidence we certainly need a big commanding keeper; a big commanding central defender;  and a big striker - jury is still out on Thor.  HB outbattled us at times and certainly aerially.

We had a big commanding 'keeper in The Ox. I see what you're saying, but the club clearly don't agree. Regarding Eythor (and, to a lesser extent, Stamo), it looks to me like we're much more set up for a penalty-box striker with the number of crosses that were banged in last night.

[joewarkfanclub]

On last nights evidence I dont think we are too far away from a pretty decent squad once everyone is back fit (that in itself being a defining factor in respect of how many players we ACTUALLY need).

Keeper wise, I dint see us doing any more business. What we have is what we will stick with.

Defence wise I think we are complete.

Johnny K, SOD, Sparrow are our RBs. Once SOD McGinn and McGhee are back we have plenty CB cover so dont expect any business there. Longelo, Williams and Wilson are or LBs.

We could do with an extra sitting midfielder to cover for Oscar & Lucas if one of them is injured or suspended.

2 creative midfielder types to replace Slattery & Just.

One out and out goalscorer

Possibly another winger for the left side.

So 4/5 still incoming.

After that we can decide who needs to go out on loan.

Thought Booth looked decent last night but Id like to see how he fares against better opposition.

Luca Ross is still young, but thought he was bullied physically by their LB last night when he came on, so jury still out on him.

Didnt see enough of the other academy players to form an opinion.

Oh Betty

[bobbybingo]

Brad Spencer would be a strange one. Signed a new 2 year (+1 option) contract last year, and at 30, not much in the way of potential resale value.

Oh no your not advocating us returning to the Scottish Fitba rule book of big, strong, honest laddies rather than silky , passing, skilful football I hope.
