Could be good but not in replacement for ulloa

I share your concerns about sami. It is frustrating that the much needed signings are taking so long. One striker available tonight. I for one am not sure if the money from any ulloa sale will be reinvested. Certainly bridcutts fee was not used and we are half way through pre season with a...

Just starting to feel that Ankers maybe number one this year. not great

I for one never wanted to sell Ulloa but it is getting to the point that it needs to be sorted. Either take the money and get on with improving a very limited squad or tell Leicester to go away whatever the price. I have concerns that the longer we leave it to obtain the required price the more...

Just a thought. Do you think the club may not look to bring in Ward, thus saving some of the budget for attacking players? With Hughes being able to cover at left back and centre back and with maybe Maxi able to cover both along with Calderon if necessary will the club think we have all that's...

Agreed. We could sell at 7m and have the transfer fee available. But I don't think that the club would commit the wages needed for a top striker over the contract length and we are always going to be looking for a bargain in the hope that it works

As others have said a weaker squad than the one that failed to beat them last year and a squad that injuries to say Greer and Bruno would leave the back 5 to include Ankers, Chicksen, Dunk and Maskimenko as it stands.

Whilst good news I am not sure I would call this a sign of intent. Trying these youngest up is great for the future but it doesn't change the fact we are still short of numbers,

Assuming that we have made a significant bid for Baldock, it does make me think that perhaps signings in the key areas that need strengthening such as goalkeeper etc are close to being done since would you not use up the budget leaving yourself short in these areas? Alternatively having thought...

Reliable source on this one?

Perhaps people see an erosion of the squad over the last couple of windows with the club seemingly unwilling or unable to act. I don't think we can call the last 2 windows a success by any means unless you count funds in and I guess people have lost a little confidence in Burke etc being able to...

Having lost Orlandi and Lopez and with only the unreliable Kemy of the creative midfielder type still around it is an area that needs strengthening, although like most I suspect I have no idea about this guy if there turns out to be any truth in it. Other positions are more pressing but I guess...

Whatever the money on offer it took 18 months to find him after Murray left and we would be expected to replace Ulloa in 8 weeks. I am not sure we could.

With you on that. Currently 19 in the first team squad including both goalkeepers (Walton and Ankers). With 2 injured we are very short on numbers going into the friendlies. No doubt work is going on behind the scenes but it would be nice to be able to spend time bedding in the team rather than...

7m is a lot of money, but be honest, how many of you believe that the club would spend it all on the squad or would in fact be able to line up any replacements during this window when you bear in mind the time it took to replace Murray with Ulloa , our failure in the January window and the...

Sadly so do I. Since last year we have lost Bridcutt, Barnes, El-abd, Lopez, Upson, Orlandi, PIG plus the loan players. We must have reduced the wage bill enormously and yet pre season has arrived and no signings or news of any potential signings other than a 18 year old kid. We have to hope...

Hopefully this is the argus filling column inches since they are not getting any information from the club rather than the level of signings we can expect. With charlton splashing 2.4m on a striker I am hoping for more than just youth team prospects however good they may be down the line.

Looking at the website we have 18 players listed but that includes Bruno, Calderon and Ankergren but not Walton or Toko. Still way short of where we need to be if those 3 re sign since that also includes Dickenson and Maskimenko. Hope for news of signings soon.

Means I might get a game at right back if they don't. We may struggle to finish top six if that is the case it being 20 years since my last game.
