Mate I try to read your posts but it is hard work.
Perhaps a few shorter sentences may help Kemosabe?

Wonder if the Bayern link means Messlier may be going there, presumably as back up and his back up will come to us as he won't be needed.

Surely after so much game time in his early years he won't be happy as backup which essentially means he gets the odd European game.

Without being hysterical I think most of us felt last week we needed movement on incoming.

That didn't happen

Surely we will see significant movement this week?

Until we are in a position to make new signings, our board should not allow any more outgoings.

We've released the majority of players our fans wanted to see go.

We are being linked with Ampadu from Chelsea this morning to replace Roca. They want £12m so he might be a bit rich for us now, and there’s interest elsewhere from Udinese.

If he and Paddy McNair arrived we’d be in a much better place defensively.

Little but of additional gossip buried at the bottom of Graham's Ethan Ampadu article.

We are considering a move for Rangers midfielder Glen Kamara.

Interestingly he is another one known for his ability to progress the ball.

27 year old very experienced Finland International.

More similar to an Adam Forsgaw type in the sense he isn't really an attacking midfielder or a defensive one.

But in the middle

Oh don't worry, we're very good at buying over priced players then selling them for a quarter of the price later on.

Likely though that allowing outgoings gives us the funds for incomings.

Growing whispers online that we have agreed terms for Glen Kamara and Nat Phillips.

The latter is definitely in the far from convinced and price needs to be right category for me.

But if that's true that would count Ampadu out as a cb imo.

Wouldn't signing Ampadu mean Philips comes off the list? :duno:

Just read the agreed fee if 7M? Not sure if that's true.

Yes £7m with add ons up to £12m. (I read this, not sure the truth in it)
