I think he got slaughtered last time which was a little unfair. Transfer dealings are a murky business and we seem to be expert at pulling defeat from the jaws of victory.

One more point

There are so many going-ons behind the scenes in terms of transfer activity and the 'Picture' can evolve rapidly.
As the saying goes 'There's many a slip twixt the cup and the lip'.

When one posts information on HOL and other such sites in good faith, received from trusted "Sources", and the actualite turns out differently one is open to dollops of ordure with accusations of purporting to be "In the know" and all that hogwash.

I have a feeling that we will try and get Bats on loan from Chelsea and maybe Cenk Toscun if he is fit by the end of the September window.

I would be very surprised to see us spending large sums on any player.

One more point

I'm going to try and be positive and hope that at least one of these comes off: [Link]

If we got two of them suddenly things would really start to look more rosy after finally signing a new right-back. Edouard would probably only be here for a season before someone bought him off us, but it would be a massive sign of intent if we got him (however unlikely that is). Eze and Watkins are more realistic targets, especially if Brentford fail to get promoted, but both look quality.

A couple of 'Loan' deals likely.

If/when Wilf goes the money will disappear, spirited away to 'balance the books/comply WITH FFP,' aka give income to shareholders.

Loans and frees again I reckon
