Hooper linked with Reading

Hope not - use whatever money we've got to bring in Oliveira and ensure that Loader & Meite stay.

We’ve got you midweek at your sky this year thank fuck providing one of us get into the 4th round of the cup. 2 of the last 3 years Reading away has been horrendous in our end, it’s the sort of away game for us that dads bring their little girls to their first away to.

Be much better in midweek, no kids and trains back.

Jagielka and Freeman SoutheySWFC, you must be worried Blades are gonna do a Wolves.

 

[MagpieBee]

Raya signing today for just under £3m. Considering he’s got experience at this level, has played almost 100 games for Blackburn, and is only 23, I’ll count that as a good signing. Hopefully we can coach the errors out of him.

 

[SoutheySWFC]

Bradley Johnson joins Blackburn

 

[Son of Cod]

We've got Jack Senior on trial/training with us. Any opinions, Luton fans?

 

[SF_]

Please do not re-sign David Nugent you stupid fucks.

I really hope Nuge is one a bit of wind-up following the club social accounts.

 

[M Dogg]

We are signing Tiago Silva

Sadly he’s a Portuguese midfielder and not the Brazilian captain, though he sounds quite handy

 

[JJH]

Think Kasey Palmer is signing today. Not convinced on Nketiah, two people who would know about it have said they’ve heard sweet FA.

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

Hasn’t really played a great deal in the last 2 seasons. Had a run in the side in Jones first season when Dan Potts got injured where he played a handful of games for us, and did fairly well as I recall.

Loved a tackle if I remember correctly and seemed solid enough defensively, attacking wise don’t think he had much of an impact though.

Difficult to know how good he was as he had limited time, and was never going to get a chance here with the fullbacks that were ahead of him. Would have thought League 2/Conference would be about his level.

He is a good shot stopper but he has the odd mistake in him plus he needs to get better on coming out for crosses,hes still young though and has time to improve.

 

[Darrenbot]

Bradley Johnson joins Blackburn

Got him on a free so good signing,2 midfielders in so far but last season it was defence where we were lacking.

Harrison Reed will be a big loss for you.

 

[Darrenbot]

Harrison Reed will be a big loss for you.

Yeah he will be.He was just starting to get a good partnership with Travis in midfield by the end of the season. Mowbray wasted him playing him out wide early in the season then moved him inside where he much better.

 

[Ciderup]

Think Kasey Palmer is signing today.

Doesn't look like KP is imminent bud, he's in Dublin with FL's Chelsea by all accounts.
As LJ said he needed a full pre-season with him, I can't see it happening at all now.

Has he mate? I’m out of the loop today, Section 82 account on Twitter hinted that he may be joining earlier on though and they were involved in the initial loan announcement weren’t they.

He's supposedly said he wants to stay with Chelsea for FL to take a look.
As LJ said he wanted him but he really needed a full pre-season to mould him into the player he required, I would imagine this is dead in the water. There's no point having him for the last week of pre-season as LJ stated. He needs to be 'LJ' fit and he'll be miles behind the others tactically. Kasey would have known this so he's made his choice. No problem with it TBH.
As we know, Kasey is a fine player but nowhere near as good as he should be due to fitness.

Next!

Fair enough mate, fuck knows what the S82 account are going on about then. Don’t see a need for him now we’ve signed Szmodics anyway.

I don't disagree but we don't know if Szmodics can live with the Championship yet, that's my only concern plus we really do need an additional / goalscoring forward before we fly to Miami.

I wouldn’t worry too much mate.

The transfer business has been pretty good so far and it’s still very early days. Plenty of time yet mucks

Agree with TFCH above. I think that he has been unlucky at Luton, looked decent when he did play, but as we went up the leagues, he fell down the pecking order. I'd think that he should do a decent job with you.

 

[Craig]

We’ve signed centre half Bambo Diaby from Lokeren.

 

[SoutheySWFC]

I remember seeing his mum die, traumatised me.

 

[SMH]

Semedo deal fallen through and Burnley want him if reports are true. First friendly tomorrow and zero incomings despite losing around four key players and that’s not counting squad players released. Could see Cook walking at this rate. We are nailed on for bottom three unless we’ve seen drastic change in the next month.

 

[Son of Cod]

We’ve signed centre half Bambo Diaby from Lokeren.

If he doesn't get the no. 5 shirt I'm picking a new Championship team to support this season.

 

[SoutheySWFC]

That Wilks lad from Leeds has gone to Barnsley.

MagpieBee - Josh McEacharan training with us in Portugal, what's he like, remember he was rated but got a bad injury

 

[KevinMcallister]

Stupid sale fuck off creg

Had some good games, had some bad ones. Can still pull out some absolutely top quality passes and through balls, but mostly his attitude wasn’t quite right and he’s not physical enough for the deep midfield role he typically plays.

Glad we moved on but could do an ok job for teams at this level. We couldn’t afford to keep him for what he offered us, too high a wage for us for a back up but would be fine in your wage structure.

Can't see us chucking loads at him to be honest but worth a look.

 

[Kenneth E End]

Kazenga LuaLua has left Luton after contract talks broke down. Sounds like his agent is being a dick. He was at a club which could’ve given him a long term home after being out in the wilderness again this time last year, but he’s said bonjour to that. I’m sure we would’ve offered him a fair deal but he probably wanted something obscene.

Not quite sure what he’s expecting? We’re a Championship club and on the up. To be honest, he didn’t seem as approachable and as part of the team as the others. There was an occasion last year where he almost refused to be substituted.
