Good signing for us. If fit he's an upgrade on Richards from last season.

8) Have we ever signed a Baba, Junior or Alen before?

According to ITK Eddie 2 more signings coming up. Would guess the striker from Brighton is one of them.

Hmm interesting

I’d be delighted with the Brighton lad. It’s looking like a productive window despite the restrictions and no real excuse once they’ve settle to not give it a good go this season

Expect the other is Besic - experienced DM

(Shame none of them will be here next year but can worry about that then)

Any excuses for Paunovic being hamstrung by lack of options is certainly over now, pressure is well and truly on.

Eddie said both loans, so would rule out Besic, unless he's got it wrong.

Yes those are the two I would expect and if things go well perhaps one or two will remain at the club next season. With six incomings overall I do wonder if there will be a sting in the tail. Swift? Puscas? I dunno.

Saw something on Twitter relating to Azeez and Liverpool. You'd hope they'd send him back on loan though.

Time to bring back out the annual Lewis Baker speculation?

Would this be the rumour that Liverpool are willing to offer a 20 year old with 4 Championship appearances £75k a week? :lol:

Purely because of injuries I’m not sure if Baba was actually a sensible signing to make. We realistically need someone who can play 40 games a season in his position and Baba has barely played that many over last six years combined. Hopefully his injuries are behind him as no one can doubt his quality or player profile otherwise.

If we can get 25 games out of him with Bristow as his understudy I will be delighted. The signing would be well worth it.

I don't think you can ever expect anyone to play 40 games. As said, if we get 25 to 30 out if him and Bristow improves by learning from him then it's been worthwhile.

Can't underestimate the fact that Yiadom & Baba have played together for Ghana, should help bring the best out of him too.

Well, we are apparently in talks with Chelsea over a midfielder. So only likely targets are Baker, Drinkwater or Barkley.

Can’t see the latter two coming here.
