Vital forum someone saying a Swedish striker close to signing and a loan defender from Newcastle.

Awful he was, don’t know how he done at QPR last season.

We’ve done a superb job so far with transfers, if the people on board now thought we couldn’t do it at those figures, that’s fair enough. Imagine we blew our budget on him and he picked up an injury early doors

Superb player at this level, but on we move

He was shit with them aswell.

I’d like us to go in for Jayden Danns from Liverpool, looks a real good player.

I think superb is pushing it on transfers so far.

I think we’ve brought in a good replacement for Darling and good back up replacing Christie or Delcroix.

We’ve brought in two promising midfielders and a promising wing and forward.

But we have gaping holes that at present have not been filled.

Back up at full back to replace Naughton / Christie / that other player I can’t spell. Centre back (whichever one of Christie / Delcroix that hasn’t been replaced by Santos). We haven’t replaced our best midfield player. We haven’t yet found the forward that is so desperately needed as first choice (Wales is a back up replacing insert name of back ups).

We are three short. And two of them are starters. May be we have people to bring in and may be loans, but we started brightly on the transfer front but have yet to fill the most important positions (apart from the Darling replacement).

Surprised you’re being all magicdaps about it. We’ve no doubt got to shift players, can’t keep buying and buying, without reducing the outgoings. You know more than most what a precarious financial position we are in.

It’ll take a few transfer windows to get us where we need to be in my opinion.

Galbraith will be superb, he’ll end up being better than LOB on in my opinion.

I thought O'Brien was absolutely superb for us and will be missed for surely......I would hope the club brings in a similar style player but I feel our need for a holding midfielder will mean we don't see a like for like player come into replace O'Brien.
Hoping Widell is a similar type but he might be a different type of player which would be a gamble but I hope it fits.

One thing we must accept, we were never going to be signing a player on 30k plus a week especially a player over 23yrs of age.

IMO there are several players with full England caps to their names who were "a poor man's Leon". A travesty he never got to play foir England.

Here is my gut feeling - we were correct not to sell the farm to get LOB. However, his biggest impact was that he inserted tempo into our play at a time when we were lacking any impetus.
Watching Galbraith - he looks neat and tidy, and technically great..BUT who is going to set the tempo for us playing forward quickly - like we did at the tail end of last season.
Maybe Franco and Galbraith - but they will need to inject more speed into their game to match LOB.

Agreed with this. It's been decent but wouldn't even consider the word superb.
Santos replaces Christie
Burgess replaced Darling
Still to replace Delcroix and Naughton.

Midfield wise, we have brought in 2 players with potential from L1 and the Danish league.....ultimately replacing Allen and Grimes.
We still have a spot in the squad using the MPH slot.

Winger wise we have another player with potential to add to what we already have.

There is still a big question mark over Vipotnik(who have faith in). Cullen is not an out and out line striker and we can't be pinning our hopes on Bobby Wales.

It's been decent with a lot of potential but to say it's superb would be very premature and misguided for me.
Still a bit to do. I think people have got carried away with the board being pro active this summer due to previous regime being the complete opposite.

I applaud the new guys but it's far from pays on back for me at the moment.

Argument can be had for many players. Leon was superb for us and most certainly underrated outside of South Wales.

Hopefully that is what we will see improve over the warm up games. The team looked head and shoulders above Cheltenham in the first half and it looked like they were practicing the game plan. It did look too stationary and I think that is obviously the O'Brien gap.
