We've bought so well this summer and covered ourselves in so many positions that I find it hard to believe we will leave ourselves with limited cover in the final position. I am very confident we will get a home grown centre back, which will probably complete the squad unless both Hemed and...

Not sure why you are confused. Other than not being an HGP, having no Premier League experience, being ten years younger and probably demanding much higher signing on fee and wages, Diego Reyes is exactly the same as James Collins and Robert Huth

What's tapping up got to do with it? I'm talking about if two clubs have offers accepted for a player and they want to talk to both clubs.

Agreed. If we were signing players that no other club was even interested in, that would surely be a good reason to worry. I am sure this happens with a lot of transfers, it is just much more high profile for us with certain ones like Pritchard and Jahanbakhsh (and after Pritchard fans are quite...

There were a couple in the predicting where we'll finish thread yesterday saying we'd signed too many players (not seen any saying we've not signed enough at this moment). However, there has been a lot of panicking on a certain thread in the last 24 hours.

Hopefully. Would be good to get it sorted asap so they can play in a friendly or two before the start of the season.

Yes, I saw the hint. I am sure he will be concerned about being third choice. You are right re Balogun but, until we sign a centre back, he is one of only three there and he is more of a right back than a left back. It will definitely be a busy couple of weeks until the deadline as we make a...

Brilliant post. Completely agree. Most teams in the league will improve year on year and we've done that in key positions with hopefully two more signings to come. We have the best possible people in charge in every position. On top of Chris Hughton, I'd add the coaching staff too who have...

I'm not sure about letting Suttner go. While Bernardo is likely to be our number one left back, he also offers a lot of versatility. If we sell Suttner and he is one of only two full backs, we would lose a lot of that benefit. If this is true, and it probably isn't, it may be we're going to...

Izquierdo is only back today, as he got further than the others at the World Cup, so unlikely to play tonight I would think

We won behind closed doors against Crawley last Friday.

All our signings will have an element of risk. We don't have the money to compete for proven Premier League players so we're going to have to take risks on players from overseas or ones who have not quite made it in the Premier League before. What we definitely are is more able to deal with...

Exactly. If we do sign Jahanbaksh, we'll probably have spent more than most teams outside the top 6 (and Tottenham)

I am not sure it was that much more settled. Four of those players you mention will probably start the first game (if Duffy is fit) and the likes of Ryan, Propper and Gross have become the core now. Last season, pretty much all our players were unproven in the Premier League. Only three had...

Hoping for slight improvement on last season so going for 14th

Agreed. Prices have gone even more crazy this summer. If the reported Richarlison fee is even close to correct, that is another example.

But he is in Paris currently. So he must be amazing to be in two places at once!

I bet their thread isn't three years old either!

Are you serious? Matt Upson and Liam Ridgewell were when we were in the Championship and, as you say, Collins was reputed. It was never confirmed so not sure what question it answers

But on the other hand, one of those two was signed by us. Hence my comment re trusting the scouts to find the right players. And Locadia still could go either way
