Ameobi gone to Boro. Don't think many people will be gutted about that.

Probably score in both fixtures against us this season as is the Blues way.

Don't believe Blues were even interested to be perfectly honest. Seems like it was put out there to pressure Boro into getting it sorted.

Do we think we are to see any more through the door soon?

I think we are light on CB cover, maybe... and RB cover also.

I reckon we may see another CM and I hope for a youngster from L1 or even L2 that could maybe setup, would be nice eh.

Strikers... not sure on this one, I feel one more may be beneficial, but again not one that we are looking to start. Maybe more of a number 10 but depends on the setup.

We still have 5 loans available but I know Bow is not too keen on loan players. My opinion is that a loan with an agreement to buy at the end of the loan is good

Mowatt is signing for the baggies apparently, shame but money talks!

Thats right, it sure does!

I think we will be letting a lot of the hefty wages drop again this summer, we already have seen that and we still have Preito and Clayton to get out of the door also.

I dont think Mowatt is what we need now, I think there are other positions to strengthen and I think we are seeing those three through the door as those that truely WANT to play for us, for the manager etc.

We may yet see others come through but I do wonder if we will be testing the water with players to see if any of them are taking us seriously enough to warrant us to pursue them any longer. I think whoever else comes in now will WANT to play for us, not the contract.

They want to bring more in, 2 or 3 apparently, but I think it's very much dependent on what they can move out.
I think we may see Stirk and Boyd-Munce go out on loan and it sounds like Cosgrove is going to get a move too.
You'd expect that Clayton and Prieto are both available for free to a good home.

I think the squad has some depth to it now, but I still think we will probably see a number 10 and maybe a utility defender.
Recent comments on Nico Gordon maybe suggest that they won't look for a RB/CB, but I guess it depends on how they best see him developing further. He might get a loan..

Whether or not they look for another striker I don't know. If Cosgrove goes as expected then we still have 4 forwards, but I guess it depends on where they intend to use Leko.

We certainly aren't done yet.
