August 15Aug 15 You have to speculate and take gambles with young players and whilst we haven’t been exactly good at it in the past hopefully we now have both the recruitment and training environment to improve it. The next couple of years will tell us a lot so let’s just hope we’ve got it right this time? At least if we can stay in the Championship anyone we do find should go at a decent price unlike L1 and L2.

August 15Aug 15 Still regret selling a reluctant to leave Cloughie and wonder how his career would have gone had he stayed? Never know now but such a shame.
August 15Aug 15 When talking about selling players, you have to take into account that we spent fortunes on shit with no resale value when we got relegated. Then the club was on its arse for about four years and unable to turn down a decent bid for anyone. And then chuck in a few mad decisions like giving Dapo away on the cheap because he didn't fit the system, but buying half a dozen number 10s.Basically, as prices in the EFL have inflated we've been a shambles. But if a few of our players can have good seasons at this level their value will go up dramatically. Gale probably doubled his in the first half today.

August 15Aug 15 No Kenny in the Celtic 20 for this evening's match. Maloney said he was fit last week. Can see us bringing 2 more strikers in yet. Still think Kenny might happen.

Still think Kenny might happen.We still need one striker for sure.I previously said 2, but if McAtee can play like that consistently, then maybe we don't.We haven't really splashed big (relative) money yet, and I suspect that such a spend will be seen on a striker.

We have 3 with Dalby, McAtee and Hardie. and then add RR into the mix..

We could do with someone who can stretch and get beyond back lines
August 15Aug 15 Famewo now can be regarded justifiably as in the mix to play at CB, as well as LB.So we've gone from having 3 CBs a couple of days ago to:Forino, Davies, Brunt, Toal, Famewo and even Christie in an emergency.

I think we always knew Famewo was capable of playing there and I think he's on record as saying it is his preferred position. If he plays there often the immediate thought is that only leaves Conway as LB... but of course Brunt can play there too. Some good flexibility has been built in.
August 16Aug 16 Am expecting chelsea to come in with a 20 million bid for gale this week after yesterday's performance !
