    Niki Mäenpää signs a 2 year deal

    If as we expect Walton is to return from loan and challenge for the number one role then what we need is a one year stop gap who wouldn't ask for astronomical wages. Given that Harper wouldn't be a bad a acquisition, plenty of others around who could also fulfill that role such as Mark Bunn...

    Swindon Town Release players.

    Both Reading and Birmingham are after Foderingham, both have lost their fist choices recently so are looking to offer him first team football. Only appearance he is likely to make at the AMEX is in an away jersey.

    COG Stays

    Colunga is also still signed to us, don't believe any traction has been made on him returning to Spain permanently either.

    Bobby Zamora

    At present QPR are only liable for a (hefty) fine and they can't impose a punishment as it's currently being contested and legal proceedings are still going on and a ban on transfers is a last resort. It's much like the previous situations at Chelsea and Barcelona when they were given time to...

    Niki Mäenpää signs a 2 year deal

    According to the papers both Forest and Reading are interested in him. Also as both have lost their first choices from last year, you would presume they would be more likely to offer regular first team football. TBH I think Brighton are in a tricky situation. Stockdale you would presume will...

    Jonas Gutierrez Brighton ?

    You forgot to mention the cross field ball from Elliott Bennett that started the move. Seriously though would love Jonás Gutiérrez at Brighton, def get the feel like he'll be a good personality to have around and would add a bit more leadership. Can see a mid level premiership club going in for...

    Paul McShane- Could do a job?

    Not just a replacement for Hughes though, Halford's also gone, so that's two options at centre back down. Rea will step up to fill one of the gaps so should be a bit of a saving on wages there. If McShane does get snapped up by another club/deal isn't feasable, wouldn't mind Alex Pearce from...

    Assuming wages were reasonable, would YOU bring Bobby Zamora back?

    The forward options needs a lot of work. Baldock +Zamora +COG + Colunga isn't a strike force that will fire the club up into the top half of the table, nor will it strike fear into opposing defenders. If Colunga & COG do go to other clubs and we can bring entice someone like James Wilson down...

    Dean Whitehead

    Not a bad player but he's not an upgrade on what we've already got. Rather focus was concentrated on finding a left back, CB, winger and most importantly a striker who knows where the net is.

    New kits thread 2015-16

    TBH I actually really like Werder Bremens new kit, something similar in another colour would be perfect for us, design also mean that it's possible to get rid of the square box of the Amex sponsor logo.

    U-21's retained list

    No mention of Rea either. So either it's the same situation or he's being moved into the first team squad for next season.

    Derby and Fulham bid for Dunk [+ Newcastle now interested]

    Wouldn't want to see Dunk go, but if he did leave there's a few other possible options other than Bassong. Reading haven't renewed Alex Pearce's contract yet, not have Bolton renewed Matt Mills, both are Championship proven and could be available on a free. Paul McShane and Alex Bruce are in the...

    Jerome Sinclair (18 Year old Striker)

    Club needs at least two experienced strikers who are used to scoring goals, unless Sinclair was an amazing talent would rather Tilley took that place on the bench / fringes of the first team.

    Calderon and Ankergren have signed their contract extensions

    Excellent news, two less positions to worry about and means the club can turn full attention (and budget) to strengthening the squad for next season.

    Brad Friedel as Player/ Coach?

    Yep - he's done his badges and has also been doing a bit of GK coaching too according to this interview he done last year: http://tottenhamhotspur.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/friedel-hoping-for-spurs-playercoach.html

    Ched Evans

    The other way of looking at it is that it will affect any future sponsorship deals for the club, could also tarnish the 'family friendly' image it has which could affect attendances. Good chance that the money lost from this would outweigh the money saved from purchasing and wages of a player...

    Help Chris Hughton : Who would you sell and sign?

    He's been on the bench last two games and didn't make it off, time before that against Stoke he started but was subbed off at halftime and he wasn't carrying an injury at the time. Anyway Dick Advocaat is only there to the end of the season at mo and Buckleys situation might depend on what...

    Help Chris Hughton : Who would you sell and sign?

    If the club decides to go down the loan route for one of the striker positions, think club could do a lot worse than James Wilson. Presume Man Utd would want to send him out on a season long loan.

    Kazim-Richards

    They finished 2nd last year .... Apparently he's scored 11 goals in 22 appearances, a solid indication of how poor in overall quality the Eredivisie must be?

    Scouts In attendance

    Both would be solid additions. Both have at least 12 months left on their contracts too and given Wigan still have parachute payments next season, would they be that desperate to sell? Also wasn't it around that time that the rumour linking us to signing Al Habsi started? Wouldn't be that...
