Sounds like a good signing, assuming this is true. Good age at 25. Has got goals from midfield last couple of years for Huddersfield. Let's hope it goes through and he can feature next weekend.

Interesting. Thanks. Any idea of the price? Will he be a good signing if we're hoping to push for top 6?

Are we sure we are looking to find this top notch 20 goal stricker, sorry i spelt his name wrong. All sources suggest we are. I don't have inside info to confirm but think it's likely.

As discussed in the other thread, it is unlikely. If he signs, more likely to be an option for the front three. Sounds like we'll sign an Ulloa replacement from overseas. At least signing Clayton and Baldock, who can both score, means we can wait to get the right player to replace Ulloa and not...

I think our most important player isn't here yet. Probably will be the Ulloa replacement. I realise the Telegraph can't say that in their preview.

I think central midfield is our most interesting position. If we sign Clayton and play 4-3-3, I would imagine he'll play the furthest forward of the midfield three with JFC/March also being an option there. Behind him, I would say it will be one of Ince/Nzuzi as defensive midfield and one of...

If, as it sounds like, Hyypia wants a more mobile front three, then neither Sharp or Jerome fit the bill. Baldock can play up front or wide in a front three so would suit what Hyypia wants. Jerome never really been prolific anyway.

In fairness, he's hardly likely to say anything else to the local paper in case it didn't happen. Not saying we will sign him but there does seem to be quite good sources saying it will happen. From his point of view, it's a step up to a team who could go up to the Premier League in the next...

Agree with this. I think that Baldock would play wider in a front three and we'd look to bring in the Ulloa replacement as well, although that could be rubbish. Hopefully a combination of O'Grady, Baldock, CMS, Clayton, Buckley and KLL will get enough goals to keep us going until the new Ulloa...

I agree with you on the article. Something doesn't add up. However, the Argus doesn't generally go ahead with headlines like that if there is no substance. Naylor is not perfect but I don't think he makes stuff up for the back page. However, there's no quote in the article or even a suggestion...

That's funny because the two stories I heard were a) that Oscar wasn't bothered and he didn't sign because he wouldn't meet with him or b) he was using us to get a better deal at Bournemouth. But obviously you know better. I used to think you were a sensible poster but you're actually amongst...

Sorry, are you saying that nothing is going on? We're keeping it very quiet at the moment, hopefully because we've got exciting targets lined up and we don't want other teams to find out. I actually think we've got a very decent transfer budget based on the fact that we supposedly spend £1...

Naylor could just be guessing though. I'm sure CMS will get a fair amount of game time this season and may well get a new contract at some point this year.

The simple answer to this is Southampton under achieved that season. They were setup to go straight through the divisions and challenge. We have come a long way in the last three seasons. We've gone from a brilliant League 1 side to a very good Championship side. Just because Southampton have...

As compared to yours and others permanent negativity. I know which I'd prefer during pre season. Plenty of time to be negative during the season. Anyway, this is pointless so going to log off.

As I said not annoyed. Just thinking it's a joke thread. Hardly furious

Sorry, I'm not sure where I took it to heart. Are you seriously defending this thread? It's a joke. Based on a pre season friendly, he is saying that we have the worst team that we have had since the Amex. As for them losing a lot of players, they've still got a very good side. Certainly better...

What a joke of a thread. We lose a pre season match to a Premier League and this is genuinely a thread. Seriously?

I seem to remember a poor pre season before our last season at Withdean, people writing off the club and then somehow we won the league with 4 games to spare. Pre season means very little. The irony is the moaners on here would be saying it means nothing if we won. Beat Sheffield Wednesday a...

I don't. We already have an ageing defence. Adding a 33 year old Riise to it would not be a good idea. Ward's been playing in their 2nd team in pre season so far. I'm hoping he's only in the first team because of injuries/them resting players. However, it does mean we're not close at the moment...
