And as for Toilet Duck, he's round the bend.
The Championship is a really physical league with big, tall defenders, and our current squad is pretty lightweight. Maybe we're looking at Mr. Muscle.

Even Alex Smthies....being a club on the up, and us signing young players with potential, he is what, 21? with people saying he is the best keeper outside of championship...
Was gonna post the same point, I think they's be to much the same style. But of course, if the money's available...

I'm going to bump this with a question.
Gus was talking about another 5 or 6 players. Gus and the players are back from Portugal today. We clearly need some cover in certain areas, and strengthening on others.
Does anyone have any info about possible targets this week?

Think we'll only get at most 1 or 2 in before the Doncaster game now. Then possibly another one or two max before the end of August (probably in the last few days of the window)
Apart from Leicester and us, many clubs seem to be stalling on players. Leeds fans are moaning about the lack of activity (despite losing players from injury and those leaving). I can only assume that there is not much money about - or that clubs are finally being realistic over wage demands and refusing to pay over the odds - waiting until players wage demads are more realistic (which they will be towards start of season).
I think we have apple picked the players Gus despo wanted i.e Buckley, Bergkamp, Hoskins, Lua Lua and CMS and he will now wait until later this week and maybe really late on next week to get others. There is also the possibilty of loan prem players who are not in 23 man squads (which wont be known for awhile).
Gus will get the players he wants, esp a centre half. That I am certain of.

Gus has always said that anyone he brings in must offer something different to what we already have. With Dunk having had a good pre-season, while I agree there's still a need for a CB, it might not be quite such a kick bollock scramble/pay stupid wages as it was.

There were several players in all 3 teams who looked very good, but you have to think who we were playing, we can hardly cherry pick from PSG, Spurs reserves will have their own complications i.e. spurs may see them as future stars etc. A lot of the Olhanense players are young lads that are brought over from Brazil and are grateful for the chance to play at a decent standard, even if Gus did like what he saw, their may be passport issues until they have played in Europe for a few years.

I think the experience with the Argentinians last season taught Gus a lot about the potential problems of bringing raw talented South American players over. Nice lads, decent players, were given opportunities, but it didn't quite happen - or was never going to happen fast enough?
