    I saw a viewpoint on Twitter that we shouldn't be doing 'this' anymore i.e. developing players for other PL clubs. I'm a bit split. If we get a year of good service out of him, it's win win. But I do get the sentiment. Though again on the flip-side, we're getting a bit ahead of ourselves if we start to consider ourselves as similar to Chelsea. Thoughts?

    Presumably this guy on Twitter also thinks that we shouldn't be using clubs like Carlisle to develop youngsters like Finn Back?

    I don't get the sentiment, to be honest; it's literally how the loan system works. If we went all purist and said we will no longer loan from other Prem clubs, we'd simply be voluntarily reducing our options for strengthening the squad.

    I wonder how this Twitter guy felt about Forest developing Djed Spence for another Championship club?

    You lost me at “I saw a viewpoint on Twitter….”

    There’s a lot of shit of Twitter. There is some good stuff. I’d be extremely selective about which posts I used as source material for a debate on talkback.

    Seems to me that a lot of the players we want are reluctant to sign for a team that only just stayed up last season. If we can strengthen this summer (even with temporary signings) and get into the Palace zone, it should get easier to attract those sorts of players next summer as we'd look like a better bet.

    Typical. You wait decades for one World Cup winner to join your squad, and then two come along at once.

    Blimey; where did you see that (or have you just been at the meths again)?

    If we were to sign him, how long would it be before someone moaned that he’s only 5’8”? It also might be worth mentioning that putting his name into DuckDuckGo [other search engines are available] brings up a report from only 48hours ago that he’s reported to have agreed personal terms with Villa. Aston, not Riccy

    So what you’re saying is that we’re left with Chicago and the disappearing meths. Again

    I have no idea whether it's more or less reliable than Twitter, or Chic on meth, but there is this:

    SSC, MGW and Jonathan Panzo are sad.

    You say I am on meth when you use Duck Duck Go?

    Bit rich that… He has a slight hamstring problem. Not ACL. Villa were in for him but I think the injury forced them to try out Digne again who has been playing well.

    Besides I have too many teeth for meth. Get your drug use right.

    More of a cocktail person me. Although Mushrooms are ace if I had the time to enjoy them.

    Chicago: Stone cold sober.

    I am still a little concerned if Dennis and Johnson leave after super Sam has left the building there has been no talk of attackers. Surely that will be the last cog in the wheel as I doubt Taiwo will remain fit all season and Afcon. Yeah I know Chris wood but you know…

    If the Spam Utd aren’t in for Marcos Leonardo then maybe we will put our eggs in that basket?

    Chicago: Attack minded.

    Fornah has completed his move to the Shaggers. No fee but we do have a sell on.

    Are they even allowed to pay transfer fees yet?
