    completely unrealistic but fun idea:
    Roko Simic on loan from Saltzburg.
    only 18 but scored 18 in 23 in the Spanish 2nd tier last season.
    already on the radar of some giant clubs, depends if Saltzburg want to loan him out again at a higher level, or cash in or play him themselves.

    Sounds good. Sign him up!

    Goalscorers are the most difficult position to fill.

    Also, if this is where we think we can exploit the loan market I think we will be disappointed.

    Firstly, 'proven' goal scorers are not regularly available on loan. Secondly, unproven strikers (youngsters) coming on loan get recalled pretty quickly if they start banging them in, as goals are so sought after.

    Depending on loans alone for our goals is in my opinion stupidity. That's why i think we need to splash out on at least one permanent striker and then perhaps consider a loan.

    I agree, it would be a risky strategy.

    Stoke have signed Flint.

    Re: Bluebirds transfer rumours

    Should be another 2 in next few days apparently. Our first loan and a player we were really close to signing (though not sure how public it went) under Neil Harris.

    They're really keen to get as much wrapped as possible over next 10 days or so, ahead of a training camp.

    Interesting that we are still targeting players from two managers ago. Not a dig just interesting as this implies they are club interests that the new manager supports

    Does wrapping up everything in the next ten days include Bale and Ramsey 🤔🤔

    Can't disagree about much here, however I would say that the area we need to strengthen, and have needed to for the last few seasons, is in the attacking midfield.

    Creating chances allows strikers to score goals and, although I wouldn't pass up the chance of a proven goalscorer, a player comfortable on the ball who can pinpoint a pass would be my first choice.

    Give any half decent striker enough chances he will get goals.

    Oh for a McPhail or a Whittingham....

    or a Ramsey!

    One of them a Millwall, or former Millwall player, then?

    If we signed a young striker on a half or full season loan how would the club recall the player part way through, if there was no recall clause, which is quite often the case with this type of longer term situation.

    I think he would have got longer in League One with Derby (if they ever get the club sale done).

    Probably shows Flints confidence that he can earn a longer stretch in the Championship. Or just cashing in on Championship wages while he can?

    You just know he's going to score against us next season.

    33 in July a 1 year championship deal seems sensible

    None of the above Vonte is a bluebird.

    Linked with Aji Alese from West Ham on loan.

    Never heard of him but I'm sure someone on here will have seen all his reserve and u23 games for the Hammers.

    Think this is probably the one I was expecting to be a loan as I'd never heard of him!
