I’d love to see a top striker come in, but I’m not confident we will see one.Quote:

Paterson also played half the Premier League season up there, so I don’t think we are desperate

Maybe we’ll be ok up front but we could really do with someone considering Zahore’s form.
Like I said, Bacuna is shit.
Your glass is full of cack.
Was that really our midfield? Crikey.....bang averageQuote:

Even then too few appearances to judge him on and I remember him being decent for Reading against us.
Wouldn’t say Bryson was better than him.
Then you have Grujic who didn’t play a lot and was inconsistent and Gunnar who wasalso injured half the season and was mediocre at best. Peltier had a couple of runs in there due to the injury- proneness of 3-4 on Wrighty’s list.
If we don’t get anyone in the yes in centre mid we are weaker ( and short)
There will probably be 2 more Centre mids coming in, but out wide and in the no 10 position we are stronger now.
I’ve also got high hopes for Sion Spence from our youth.
Depending on who the 2 we bring inare we could be stronger there.
Let’s not forget Tomlin, who won us a few points season before last even with his limited appearances
Can’t see him being involved next year unless he’s served his sentence and can move to South Wales and knuckle down to proper training etc..
Even then it’s probably a choice between him and Reid and Reid gets my vote
If then team Is going to challenge we’ll need a couple of players up to the standard if Arter in central midfield. Ralls is ok but nothing out of this world. To suggest we can go with the squad pretty much as it is is silly imo.
We could probably do with a proven striker as well.
Bacuna is not SHIT shit and maybe with Peltier as cover we’ll be ok.

I often mention that QPR fan who told us we could expect underwhelming signings from Neil Warnock that end up working, well, the first bit of that certainly applies to the three names which have been identified as our most likely signings, wonder if the second bit will?
They all correspond to the Cardiff City view that you are still classed as a young player at twenty six I suppose.
I used to sign Curtis Nelson for my Football Manager City team about eight years ago.
I guess he’s being looked at as cover for what we’ve got. Can’t see him troubling the 3 we used last season, but you never know
Bamba will be out for a couple of the early months so we needed something.Quote:

Suffered s not from injuries and maybe that’s why he’s only played in the lower leagues.
England under 18, so must have something.
Just hope this doesn’t mean Morrison or Manga are going.. or that there’s bad news on Sol’s injury
One of my best mates is an Oxford fan, he said:Quote:

He's twice the player of Dunkley (at Wigan) who's done really well there.
Sounds good.Quote:

Lewis Holtby ,whoever he is, being mentioned

What has he got that Tom Lockyer doesn't have? There is one inch difference in height but Lockyer is younger, has more games at league one standard which happened in two years compared to three and has, at least, equal leadership qualities.Quote:

I've only seen him play for Wales but from what I saw, I was quite impressed.Quote:

He was released by City 8 years ago as a 16 year old so a lot has changed in that time.Quote:

Yes, you're correct. Lockyer has left because he wants to play for Wales which will be very tough in L1.Quote:

He was released as a 16-year old by Stoke City. He can't be any good :sherlock:
To partially answer my own question regarding Lockyer, I imagine that it could have been any number of things separating the two players and that it could potentially be decision that the player has made (not wanting to start off as a third or fourth choice) as much as the team. Perhaps we should instead be giving credit to Warnock for picking up another bargain and what appears to be a ball-playing CB as his first signing of a summer - who in the premier league pundits room would have predicted that? Is this the long term replacement for Bamba?
