    Apter, DKD and a wingback that can play both sides in, Ahadme, A.Mitchell, Kanu, AMB and Taylor (in Jan) out please!
    That would be incredible.

    I’ve mentioned him a few times, Davis Keillor-Dunn. He increasingly looks closer and closer to going to Charlton, although I’m led to believe that Parky is still very much keeping tabs on that situation. My counter to that would be that they’ve known the price for a while £2.5m-£3m.

    “If you really wanted to Davis Keillor-Dunn, you could have got that done by now.”

    I heard a while ago we had a chance and I’m buzzing to see it said else where. Sign DKD and Apter shut the window that’s a 10 out of 10 window for me I couldn’t have asked for more. 
    Would have to agree with this. 

    Tescos would find themselves low on tissues and moisturiser for a few days that's for sure.

    I really doubt that Callum Fowler is the final say, but he talks like he seems to know something

    Don't mock! Saudi Arabia have just played in the CONCACAF Gold Cup (for Central American and Caribbean  teams).

    In fairness he does seem to have some connections at Barnsley he knew one of their players was going to Bradford way before anyone else had reported it. If he’s said it’s unlikely to happen I’d be more inclined to believe him

    DKD and Apter would be absolutely ridiculous business in a good way. Not sure it would be one or the other if we see DKD as a second striker and Apter as 10/RWB.

    Not buying the whole " he wouldn't move south" stuff that's all cope from Barnsley fans and ourselves and Oxford wouldn't be interested if we didn't genuinely think there was interest from the players end. Oxford makes sense with them losing Ruben Rodrigues even if he didn't have the same impact in the championship as L1.

    As good as DKD would be I also fear a repeat of Charlie Kirk - just on a larger scale. If we went for him I would expect a lot of due diligence on his personality and assurances he could handle the move down here.  

    In theory it shouldn’t be a big factor but we’ve seen it before with certain players who tend to stick to a region

    With Carey already here as an attacking midfielder and Berry still around I genuinely don't see us going for both Apter AND DKD on top of that - quite possible that we've approached both in case one or the other falls through but I would be genuinely astonished if we got both.

    Jones has alluded to wanting a bit more attacking "flair" but the cost of both signings, plus their wages seems a bit out of character for how we have done things so far.

    Wasn’t it rumoured there was one player deciding between us and another club whilst Costello was also visiting the club. Potentially DKD deciding between us and Oxford although can’t see us dropping 2.5M on one player 
    Agree, that’s a lot of money to spend on a player turning 28 in Nov. I like us spending money but that seems like a frivolous way to spend it
    Mendonca was 29 when we signed him, his goals got us promoted, well worth the money spent, it's not all about sell on value.

    Can't fault people for getting excited but i'd be amazed if we sign both Apter and DKD.

    I doubt the 5m mentioned above is realistic but at a minimum i'd expect Barnsley to want at least 3-3.5m for him. Add Apter as well and you're potentially talking 5m for the pair. No idea what we're prepared to spend but 5m on two players seems unlikely.

    At the very least it's nice to be having these conversations though, and not worrying which club is going to take our players.

    He plays more box to box don’t he, you’ve mentioned him a couple times now have you heard something ? He would be ideal.

    He won’t, I’m sure JRC is here for that box to box role.

    All this chat of us having signed lots of defenders.  We needed them and I would suggest we still need two more.  Squad currently looks something like the below to me...which means a RWB is absolute priority but another LB, CAM and Striker certainly wouldn't go amiss.  

    I am still hoping for 3 real stand out players in those positions who elevate the whole team to another level but I am likely being greedy.

                                   Kaminski

                                    Mannion

    New.        Ramsey.    Jones.   Gillesphey    Edwards

    Z Mitchell   Burke  A Mitchell.     Bell.              new  

                       Coventry.       Rankin Costello

                       Docherty.          Anderson

                                       Carey

                                  Berry/New

                       Olaofe.             Leaburn

                         TC                  Godden 

                        Dixon                   New

    Would make a squad of 25 v's a match day squad of 20 so allow for 5 injuries/off form.

    Loans

    Assimwe, Kanu, M'bick, Casey 

    Sell

    Taylor, AMB, Ahadme


    Bell will cover Edwards 
    Burke will start with Ramsey and RC fighting it out for small role .. the only position now will be number 10 / winger

    Just seen DKD with JRC at KFC. They were talking with JFC & JFH about the JFK assassination. 


    DKD was drinking WKD sitting in his car listening to a CD with the doors open.

    Is JRC the first really never played down south signing we've made so far? Obviously have the Luton 3 , Carey is from Norwich originally, Tanto is a Lewisham lad. 

    Made me laugh when I saw Malik Wilks leave Yorkshire for Turkey in terms of players that stick firmly to one area. 

    I'd fully expect Chapple and NJ to be all over any character stuff, I remember SCP talking about how detailed he was about a players background because he wanted to make sure anyone he signed would fit in.

    Regarding Ahadme, we will obviously not be getting much of cash we paid for him back.if we sell, and it's hard to imagine too many clubs wanting to get near his salary to entice him away.
    As we have him on the books for a while, would it make sense to try and bring him on via a good loan with a club with a decent coaching record. The idea being to treat him as a potential asset for the future,  as the alternative is to buy out a hugely expensive contract? I know he looks nothing like a decent footballer this far but someone (I heard N.Jones) saw potential in the lad, and it might be better to try and convert him into the footballer Jones saw.

    Short term pain for long term gain.

    Can't wait for the next three years of transfer threads being filled with debates about paying off Ahadme's contract so we can release him 

    If Nathan has already decided that Ahadme can't make his 20 man squad then the Gassan solution will be the same as Charlie Kirk when his contract was terminated with a pay out.
    I believe it was reported that Ahadme turned down a loan last season; if he turns down a loan this season then a pay out will be worked out in 25/26 and it won't linger on.

    It’s not gonna be easy but I still think we’ll finish around mid table, surprised people haven’t mentioned Portsmouth being weak this season I don’t think their team is all that. I still think we’ll bring in another 4 by the end of the window as we’ll have 3/4 leave.

    After the signings and contract extensions we’ve made so far I wouldn’t rule anything out just yet. The owners will have seen the payoff their fellow countrymen got from backing Birmingham and Wrexham last season, they will have seen what Nathan achieved and they will have seen the potential that the play offs and Wembley showcased. I think there is an opportunity to make the play offs again this season, it’s a tough league but it’s also very tough for everyone else in it and everyone will have their own specific problems to deal with. I’m just starting to (really) believe we could be going for it this season.

    Making the play offs again sorry but I can't see it at all there are teams who are willing to spend twice as much or more on one player than we have so far unless we get in some George best type loans and a couple of proven or exciting players even staying in this division will be a tough task I'd bet on us finishing 1-5 places above the drop all things going well with the current set up.
