My mistake - I forgot the Morcambe loan came in the first half of last season. I still think he should be kept and used this season.Quote:

Now get a Keeper and a decent Striker!
A winger needed as wellQuote:

Eli King signs for Stevenage on loan.

Interesting from Bulut in his press conference.Quote:

League One it is then.
Andy Rinomhota to stay. 'A fighter' according to Bulut and it seems a versatile squad player. He played right back in pre-season?
Bulut confirmed he wants Fagan-Walcott, Raheem Conte and Kieron Evans out on loan. He seems surprising positive about Evans!
Cian Ashford not mentioned in relation to possible loan move. Is he staying with the first team squad?
He also expects Ryan Wintle to move on - but says the ball is with him and his agent (there have been offers).
Nothing in the press conference about a move for Mahlon Romeo or about the fitness (or not) of Ryotaro Tsunoda.
Bulut is baffling. He gave Rinomhota one Championship start and two sub appearances last season before sending him to Rotherham. Now he wants to keep him.Quote:

I didn't realise the great Alex Revell is the Stevenage manager. Some interesting observations on King:Quote:

And by King:

Eli King didn't want another loan - per Bulut he had 'another idea' and wanted to fight for his place at Cardiff. But now he has made the move let's hope he comes back improved again and more aggressive!
Has he got short, fat hairy legs?Quote:

Ralls and Ramsey (if he extends) will be yet another year older.Quote:

needs to play for a counter attacking side to make use of his main asset - his pace.Quote:

rangers was totally the wrong move for him

Yeah fair points, and 6 goals and 10 assists for Rangers in 60 games is actually better than I thought he had done.Quote:

Ryan Wintle being looked at by Millwall
& City back looking at Ali Al-Hamadi on loan from Ipswich, we lost out to them in January.
It's the calm before the storm Des, I'd be trying to sign Al-Hamadi rather than loan him, can't see him getting much game time at Ipswich now.Quote:

To be fair, we also have Bagan, Tsunoda (when fit) and a couple of decent youngsters (Tom Davies and Luey Giles) who can cover LB. Good mix of attack and defensive minded players.Quote:

Stoke look like they picked a winner with Lewis Koumas.
And vice versa. He has been a flash in the pan , as he has been his whole career .Quote:

Whilst we are on Rangers I am surprised no one has snapped up Cantwell . He wants away from Rangers , doesn't like Scotland apparently, a bit of a dick on social media but a top footballer , in a similar mold to our own Mr Colwill. Fantastic skill, game changing passing ability
there were Rangers fans on twitter earlier saying they should hold out for 20m for Matondo.Quote:

You read this board , same as I do . There so many experts on social media , the knowledge of some Rangers fans is only equaled by the knowledge on here.....
i can remember a couple of games for Cercle Bruges he looked absolutely unplayable, single handedly destroyed teams - then nothing for long periodsQuote:

The person on Twitter who has got a lot of things right in this window says we have offers in for a Senaglese forward who is out of contract and a Leicester player - got a fair idea who the latter is, but I’ve not a clue about the former.Quote:
