No way will Murray get shipped out, if Bamford is the striker we are bringing in,.done alright in the championship,but Murray and Gayle have impressed in champ and prem, and why nurture a player from a top club over the likes of Gayle, seems mad. Surely the striker we want to bring in, is a player superior to what we already have?

Just when I thought that I was out...........they pull me back in

If we look at Bamford as a replacement to Sanogo, loanee from a big club needing to play then it is surely a positive improvement on last season ?

Too many people getting carried away. I have never seen us as "Top 8" next season, in fact we might not even better last season's position.

Murray and Gayle won't be leaving unless we have replacements , Cardiff won't have any say where Williams goes im afraid , we signed an established international and two promising young players to add to a squad that came tenth we also will be having pardew for a full season and I'm confident we will do better than bottom six.

When do we find out? Tonight or tomorrow?

My guess is Bamford and Zouma with McCarthy to follow in a few days.

Be nice to add a top draw striker too but my hope is fading a bit now. Although maybe the Austin deal will get done. Would rather had Remy but that's dead in the water.
