Fulham now linked with Josh King. Most clubs in and around us trying to do something about their situation.

We were told by the most "in the know" poster on here that Phil Jones was a certainty to be signing for us!

Stand down? Surely you have to stand up first.
Absolutely useless. It will be the same nonsense in the summer where if anything it will be even harder given the likelihood of more competition

If that’s it, I’d be a little surprised if we don’t have a new video from Mr Pace, today or tomorrow at the latest.
It’s disappointing not to be not adding to our ranks, yet again, for a number of reasons.

Around 9m? The same as Kenny! Kenny who's younger than Brownhill when he came in? Kenny who's played at a higher level than Brownhill before he came in? Do you get it?
Brownhill had played over 200 league games at a high standard before we signed him. Kenny has played about 20, most of which were sub appearances.
I know which £10m would be better spent.

He has been guaranteed a regular starting spot in midfield - he believes that is where his England chance lies in the summer - of course was man of the match at the cup final as a defender
Sean Dyche definitely does not guarantee starts to any player incoming

I said at the time, that it looked like more like a boardroom shuffle in all but name, rather than a takeover, so I am not really surprised.

Brownhill has played all his games at championship or lower.
Kenny has played all 90 games of his career in the top divisions of world football. Plus Kenny is younger.
Both worth 10m at the absolute max.

Kenny is worth about 3m to us in my opinion. Not a guaranteed starter.
Struggled to get a game for Everton with them playing 2 different centre backs before him, when Coleman was out injured.

Right wing, centre half, right back....
I’d add central midfielder and potentially striker to that list.

Totally agree mate. If it’s true they wanted £9m they were living on a different planet.
Also seems a bit unreasonable treatment of a young player that’s clearly surplus to their requirements.

Only 2 ?
RB to replace Bardsley or even to better Lowton
CB to replace Tarks - plus maybe another to replace Dunne
LB with some pace to replace Pieters
WR to replace Brady
CM with pace and strength to improve on all
LW to cover for Dwight
Striker better than any of the current picks

Oh trust me, I was being conservative. “To even better Lowton” is the minimum requirement for a right back over the course of the next two years as well.

Just praying we have no injuries to Tarks & Mee, based on past performances in their absence. Personally feel, if we had had both fit and available from Game 1 this seasonr , we would almost be safe now, or certainly have more points. So not to have a serious back -up, since Gibson through his toys out the pram over 12 months ago, is inexcusable.We saw Dawson go to WHU on loan, and Ben Davies joining Liverpool for £2m.Either would have been sound investments
Before anyone says KL can more than deputise it made me think how many times yesterday when Chelsea went to the byline and put it across goal, and how many times the trusted duo cleared to safety. Any other injuries in other positions we can "make do" but these two guys are our spine
