    It only takes one injury and we're clearly up the creek in central midfield. Surely everyone sees it???

    Yes I'd say another wide player needed as well. Defo need another MF. Happy with cooke and this watt lad sounds decent but your gonna get injuries, not much back up in squad

    I can only assume he maybe sees Pritchard slotting in there or Clarke dropping back. I'd suggest a 4th before we go down that route!!!

    There are four young players in there I think at least one of then is a midfielder

    Do we know where they all play?

    I still think we need a 4th CM. Sutton will also be our back up RB you would think.

    The youth kid should be the 5th.

    Not much quality in the squad either.

    I’m sceptical enough to think we might only be after two, but I didn’t read it as we only need two - more a case of those being the key areas.
    If we are after only two, though, then that’s a concern.
    See Cambridge have signed Wes Hoolahan. Might be about 37 years old, but that’s a great signing - nothing against signing older players if they’re of the right calibre!

    McCall backtracking in the T&A this morning.. it's gone from we've got plenty of room left in the salary cap last week to, "it's difficult to work within it" today. sense of clutching at straws for the club at the minute.

    He actually said there was plenty of room in the cap for another striker

    Back tracking quicker that @Park bantam@Park bantam reserving down Holmewood beach he lives near.

    Keep on saying that we won't sign another forward. Bradford City as a club doesn't help it's self.

    I agree he has said that previously but I don't see where he uses those words in the latest article. He says there is room for manoeuvre (which isn't the same as having plenty of room!) for another striker and RB but that things were getting tight and it was difficult to work within the cap. Mind you, he also said that promotion bonuses have to be included in the cap which isn't correct. Somebody at the club needs to educate SMc on how the cap operates otherwise he'll be creating unecessary problems for himself.

    Here's today's article ..

    It's not very inspiring.

    Then again, inspiring fans isn't so important - if we do well once the seaside n starts, fair enough.

    I'm not sure either way. Cheap seems to be the theme of the summer.

    He says he is still pursuing one of his two targets

    Simon Francis has left Bournemouth. Swansong for his first club? Captain?

    Not a chance I reckon. He'll easily find a club in the Championship.
