Would love us to take a gamble of Ravel Morrison though. Bit of shit, but you can't doubt his quality. Looks like he's back in the country too and Bows would be ideal for him.
I would avoid Ravel like the plague. Purrington is the kind of signings we should be and are making, players that are work horses and have got their heads down and been playing consistently, not chancers who have took their abilities for granted and only played a handful of games.

With such a young squad he could be a fantastic signing. Great player and a good professional.
Personally, I think he's well past his best and has looked poor the last few seasons. I'd rather we looked elsewhere, even if he's free. But I accept beggars can't be choosers.
I thought he was rubbish even in his prime. And he seems to have declined pretty sharply since. We already have Pratley, who has spent most of his career in the Championship. I don't see how another violent, bad on the ball midfielder helps us.

So do I tbf, but as I can be harsh and was expecting a challenge, I thought I'd tone it down a bit. He used to be ok, but his legs are going going ....

Wish we had more rubbish players like Whelan, could have done with them in the past decade. Nine years in the Prem suggests he was a solid lower Prem player.
No idea idea if he’s good enough for us now, but we shouldn’t write a midfielder off just because he’s not known for being a creative or flair player.
Dont think we'll be signing too many more permanents apart from Oztumer. Then it will be loans only.......but don't think Cullen or Beliek will be back. Same goes for Williams as I'm sure he'll get a better offer elsewhere before the season starts.
If we can sign Oztumer then we're a lot closer to the squad depth we had last season and that makes me a lot more comfortable than how I felt at the end of May - Yes I had faith in Bowyer and Gallen but definitely didnt expect them to make the permanent signings of Purrington | Aneke | Lockyer (Bonne is still untested), definitely didnt expect them to be of that level and we could of course still bring in Ben Amos and Jonny Williams on permanent deals too
Not sure we'll be seeing either Bielik or Cullen this year think both players will be sold by there respective clubs and for a lot more than we can afford

Both clubs would be stupid to sell this summer, neither Arsenal or West Ham are desperate for cash and 1 good season in League 1 wont make the clubs offer millions and millions.
Loan to a top Champ or lower prem team, then of they have another good season could sell for a lot more next season

At least no man bra being worn which bodes well for next season.

I doubt Whelan to Charlton is anything more than agent talk but let's not pretend our squad is so strong that it doesn't need more experience.
Hope it isnt going to happen. I don’t have any tattoos, not bothered about getting one but certainly not Whelans face.

”Club X are signing Player A from Club Y on an N year deal, according to sources”
Just throwing out random crap to see if eventually they’ll land one spot on so they can be funny and claim they were ITK all along.
I think it's even less serious than that and whoever's running it isn't even trying to pretend to be ITK.

Ben Amos
New CB (Possibly Bielik, allowing another midfielder)
Krystian Bielik (If not at centre back, then in defensive midfield)
Josh Cullen
Herbie Kane
Jonny Williams
Erhun Otzumer
Eddie Nketiah
Even if it is just Bielik in both CB (fourth choice) and DCM (first choice) roles like last season
