    If we’re back to speculating about potential signings again I’m going to throw another hat in the ring.....

    Matthew Smith, 18 year old Man City defensive midfielder.

    Last two summers we’ve got a player on loan from Man City who had spent the previous year in Holland. I personally think we never cancelled Agyepongs loan when we had the chance as we are trying to build a relationship with them. Smith is a Welsh internationalist and won the Dutch second division last season with Twente (I think it was then anyway) and he’s been told he’ll be out on loan again this coming season.

    Absolutely zero inside knowledge but reckon he fits the bill for what we’re after.

    Possibly worth noting the last time I suggested a young welsh boy from Man City he joined a German side for about £10m so my record isn’t great at this game but I think this is the time I get it right.
    QPR Bound I’m lead to believe.

    Hearing the name Lee Cattermole gives me the fear. Would hate if we signed him.

    Had 2 years left on a massive contract.
    How did they manage to make him **** off?

    Their executives and manager will be celebrating royally if they didn't have to to put out too much money to make it happen.

    Yep, it's staggering that they've managed to get shot of him.

    Some pretty ropey shenanigans surrounding him getting that deal in the first place. His representative was Margaret Byrne, who used to be in a high position at the club. They were handing out contracts and blank cheques all over the place st that time.

    That must leave only about Oviedo as a high earner now.

    Zaha wants to go I think. I am not sure CP will hold out for £80m.

    He has 4 years left on a contract he signed last season and you could not imagine the esteem he is held in by the supporters (think Sauzee). Selling him cheap would be an act of madness by their board unless it involves cash plus players but those types of deals rarely happen. I think Arsenal (or whoever) would need to offer £60m plus two useful players, but when do these events ever turn out exactly as expected?

    Allegedly arsenals player budget is only £50m plus any money they get from player sales. Story was one of their two main strikers was heading to man u for around £60m but nothing happened as yet. I'm sure that arsenal realise that they won't get saha for anywhere near that but are probably doing it to appease supporters. Still a strange offer all things considered.

    In light of this mornings events I think we should pull out all the stops and get the Emil Kostadinov deal finally nailed down!

    I wonder how much Hecky knew about this and if we are to get a significant boost to transfer funds how will this affect getting McNulty,ojo and omeonga in. On the flip side of course unless a player is out of contract clubs will be looking for more money fromany potential transfer fees plus bigger loan fees.
    Does Hecky now aim higher. I think it would be tricky to get a major signing at this time as it usually takes weeks of planning and negotiation but going forward I'm sure we can look at better quality. I'm sure Hecky will add a couple in January and that could be an even more exciting window than usual. Great problem for Hecky to have.

    Love to see us push the boat out and make a couple marquee signings. Can pick up some top free transfers if you pay the wages

    anybody now thinking that signings have happened so quickly so that contracts were signed before the takeover and the players couldn’t then be asking for more money

    I expect we will probably make a "big" signing now.

    Two Sparkys, anyone?

    Hopefully any remaining deals were also sorted prior to this news.

    Nope. There is a well established market. If a club or player tried to put up the price then we could look elsewhere.

    No, but I think it's perfectly feasible we pushed deals through before the selling club knew of our new largesse!

    Lewis Allan signs a one year deal at Raith Rovers. Good luck to the laddie.


    Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

    I think you might get what you want I'm sure there things will have been discussed over the last month or so maybe not at the fees you mention might be an opportunity to bring in a so called Marquee signing
