Franco Umeh-Chibueze is very highly rated in Ireland. I presume that's a loan Chaddy? 

Exciting player. Another decent player would be Bosun Lawal at Celtic. Both would bring a bit of pace and power to our side. Very good technically as well. 

Lawal can play centre half or DM.

 

That will solve our keeper problem.

One more for our centre half collection.

[RoversClitheroe]

Ah so the positive news is what? A loan from crystal palace ffs

We have more problems than just a keeper.

I would hope a first choice keeper is very high on our list if we have one that is.

So Nicko teases some ‘very positive’ news to us for days…

What could it be? Warchest? Waggott being sacked? Good freebie all but signed? How exciting…

Well it turns out, that we just want to loan a youngster from Palace, who we’ll probably miss out on. Or the ‘very positive’ news could be the fact that Man U are trying to pluck from our academy, yet the player might not want to go (but probably will).

What a wanker that bloke is.

On the playing side of things, I would say a first choice keeper is our biggest problem.

No .. replacing Smodizcs’s goals is our biggest problem

I disagree, I think that Sigurdsson will play that position if Szmodics leaves. Whether he will reproduce the goals, no-one knows.

i would say the number 1 priority is goalscoring number 9 striker

will Sigurdsson even be here by the time the season starts? given he only 12 months left on contract

Yeah I think so. Come in for nothing, leave for nothing and will be forgotten about by this time next year.

[M_B]

Replacing Szmodics' goals will be a big problem, as was replacing Brereton's before him, and Armstrong before him. 

The conundrum being, Gallagher partnered/played alongside all 3 prolific goalscorers, yet the answer to the problem seems to be to get rid of him for nothing. 

It would seem an odd solution.

Why would be get rid of him for nothing, he’s under contract?

Who’s going to pay a fee for him ? Ipswich won’t be interested again now they’ve been promoted.  He was only an insurance policy for them, like Travis was.

M_B is not saying get rid of Gally for nothing. What he is saying ( I think ), is that some people think the solution to replacing Sammies goals, is to get rid of Gally.  

[arbitro]

It isn't just about replacing the goals from Szmodics although they are mightily important. His prodigious work rate and desire will take some replacing and I certainly don't see any current player getting anywhere near this. He inspires other players with his attributes and as many have said should have been our captain.

[G Somerset Rover]

That’s Nixon‘s ‘very good news’?

He was our Talisman, when things weren’t working out our only hope was “ get it to Sammi “ , and he rarely let us down.

I know what he was saying, I was just pointing out we wouldn’t be giving him away for nothing or else we wouldn’t have triggered his contract.

The fact Ipswich were willing to pay £1.5m for him suggests he will have other suitors and that he’s not as bad as he’s made out.

Strike rate of 1 in 50 at best and the other 49 are always edged either way by him yet he still has his groupies.

I don't. I think he will be gone this summer

[Forever Blue]

It wouldn’t surprise me if Gally, Siggy, Dolan and Sammie all got sold this summer

That we're begging for Palace's table scraps? I mean it a good news story for him as he clearly hates us.

I think that the very good news is that Igor Tyjon wants to stay here and play first team football instead of going to United
