    I love the way the management team keep their dealings under close wraps. Not a sniff around rumors and they have caught the ITK team on the back foot all summer.... love it.

    Last summer every player coming in looked weaker than who they'd replaced.

    Leave all the rumour/truth about what's going on behind the scenes - 90% of it is about building a quality group of players. That's it in a nutshell and when push comes to shove it's what fans really care about.

    This summer looks the opposite. O'Donnell looks better than Doyle, Wright is certainly no worse than Law, Akpan better than Dieng or Vincelot, I'm hoping Seedorf will add more than Gillead and I'd much rather have Riley than McMahon.

    More of the same please. 2-3 similar standard additions and getting a couple out will set us up well.

    Or maybe it was just a bit of light hearted sarcasm?

    I disagree. Striker wise we are still very light in terms of quality and still need to offload a couple so we can bring a couple in.

    Last post off topic, saw a picture of Gareth Southgate consoling Carlos Bacca who's penalty Jordan Pickford had just saved, I wouldn't think that is the sort of thing Sir Alf would have done after their shambolick/cheating performance that the Colombians had displayed for much of the game.
    How the var or any others who were suppose to be viewing the game missed the digging up of the penalty spot is a joke, Ramsey would have whisked the players off no condolences shirt swapping ETC, they were cheats who nearly got though to the next round by cheating.

    decent signing, much preferable to getting Callum Guy back.

    While I agree I have not lost hope on Alex Jones just yet. He has shown he is more than capable of goals at L1 level.

    Until the '66 World Cup all British teams nominally lined up in 2-3-5 formation. But in my memory of watching on TV and playing junior school football it wasn't really like that. The Centre Half always stayed back between the full backs rather than alongside the Wing Halves. At least one of the Inside Forwards was really an attacking midfielder. It was more of a 3-2-1-4 in reality, as I remember it. But I was a kid in the 60s. Some older forum members may remember it differently.

    Our summer signings seem better than last year's on paper. More needed, but pretty happy with the business we've done so far.

    Need more quality up front though. And still some dead wood to shift out

    Pleased with this signing. We definitely needed a combative type midfield player and this lad has quite a decent pedigree
    Well done to Rahic and Abbo for getting this one over the line.
    Recruitment this summer looks much better than last summer so far

    We've always been here. It's you morbid moaners that are the ones to react fastest, everytime edin burps you jump in trying to finish him off.

    Happy Clapper...………….. nah, positive, glass half full kind of person. When (AND ONLY WHEN) the owners really mess up will we turn. For now they are just a bunch of new owners trying to underpin a building built on quiksand

    Ok, humour me. How did you end up watching Isherwood playing for Bayern Munich 2? Who were they playing? How did he do? Anyone else stand out that we should keep an eye on? Reminisce about that for a bit
