Is it right we are after another two signings ? Wonder what areas we will go for there

We missed out on Tucker, so surely central defender is one of them.

Not sure on the other.

Defensive centre mid and striker for me.

Wonder if we’re playing the long game on Fossey. Seems like Fulham wanted a bidding war for a 23 yo with a handful of L1 apps and dodgy injury record.

Rotherham interest turned out to be a dud. We’ve “moved on”. All gone a bit quiet for him. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him loaned out again. Then we could potentially pick him up on a free next summer or knockdown price in Jan

CB and another forward. 
 

Barkhuizen offer is still on the table isn’t it

I have a feeling he will get fixed up with a contract before the end of this window.

Rotherham have replaced one big lump in Michael Smith with another big lump in the ex Bolton player Tom Eaves

Chris Eaves was better.

Gez Sithole just signed for the B-Squad

We've signed someone called Gez Sithole for the B team. 

If only there was a pun I could think of for his name?

[Mantra]

That is an unfortunate surname lol, up there with Danny Shittu

"The Whites’ new B-team project will now give Sithole (pronounced S-itt-ullay) the platform to develop further as he becomes the sixth external recruit to Matt Craddock’s squad ahead of the new campaign."

I read that, and wondered why we had re-signed the Washing Machine.

Then read it again. d'oh.

If we presume the obvious jokes are told ... he's 19 & has played 22 times already for Gillingham. So there's some sense to the signing.

[TrickyTrotter]

Whilst on the Gills forum to see what they thought of Sithole  (shouldn't have been released), I notice a thread suggesting we are about to sign a Robbie McKenzie from them.  He's a 23 yr old right back almost 6ft originally from Hull.  Out of contract next week.   They would be due a (small) training fee as he's not 24 until September.

[Morizio]

If he makes it could be a some greats songs like 

Gez shits on you again

Etc 

[kent_white]

Gez is a Sithole - I wanna go home

[Morizio]

Shame he’s not called Giz rather than Gez

Didn’t Newcastle have a Pistone?

Yep, they were in all the Gents’ toilets.

Big move for him after being injured most of the season.

Could be good or bad for England depending on how much game time he gets

[Tonge moor green jacket]

Reckon Rice is the better player, but he'd cost a lot more.

Had a mate once called Patel, he insisted it was pronounced Pay-Tel.

For sure. 43 million is actually a very good deal in todays market for an England international 

and rumour is they’re about to sell Jesus for 50 million so they are doing bits once again.

Funny seeing how behind united are… again

Makes sense if it's true as competition for Bradley with maybe the hope that McKenzie will be good enough to make the position his own once the kid goes back to Liverpool. Some decent pedigree in champ & L1 at only 23... meant to be another one like Iredale who can cover multiple postitions being able to play on the right, CB or DM which looks like Evatt wants versatility to deal with the potential injury crisis we may face along the season to fill gaps. Gills being raided for their better players whilst on the spiral Demps/Tucker/Mckenzie ect would be easy to turn your noses as they had a dire season but they did have a really decent season the prior finishing 10th so must have had some positives about about them amongst the recent abysmal crap that's gone on there. Would deffo put a an end to some fans hopes of Marlon magically appearing here after all what's been put out there if this transfer is true though.
