• Would we be pleased with buying BJ without him being in a swap with the now redundant McNeil going the other way..? rnIn isolation I think we’d question this deal. rnSquad improvement at this juncture? rnIm like Kevin @57 very much doubtful we’ve actually moved forward yet, hopefully next few weeks change that. rnRB… make your minds up what you want, there’s plenty of options. Force Davey away from pragmatic conservatism and let’s get an overlapping, goal assist/ contributing full back, or two. ...

• Tommy, he signed a new contract with West Ham weeks ago. The option was explored, but he and West Ham blocked it. They sold Fernandes and Somerville, and have that cash to keep Bowen.rnrn...

• @53 IanrnrnYou’re spot on Ian. Which is why Brennan Johnson shouldn’t be our signing - Jarrod Bowen should be. If the club wanted a wide forward to improve our team - Bowen is the stand out choice. He’s at an age and in a situation where we could have made a deal for Bowen. A proven, brilliant, Champions League class forward that would instantly improve us. rnrnI remember a time when signing football players was more simple than it appears to be today. Go and get the best players from those below you or around you. Bowen fits that category. rnrnPut it this way, he’d have cost less than what we paid for Dibling and Alcaraz. ...

• Only results are going to lift the spirits of those on these pages. The glass is distinctly half empty after the way the season finished.rnrnIndividually all 5 signings have taken the club forward. rnrnIndividually it was right to call time on McNeil & Coleman, and Gana's wage demands were just too much for a player that needed replacing sooner rather than later (although I appreciated him hugely).rnrnI am convinced a right-back will arrive, Grealish and a striker. Whether Ndiaye remains... let's see. Patterson is done, and I'd still be surprised if Beto and Iroegbunam aren't sold either.rnrnThe club is turning over the players, the age is coming down, and I think we are moving forward, albeit slowly, to a budget and with little fanfare....
