Fantastic if true. A brilliant player at this level, one of the best we've come across IMO and a position in which we needed another option.

Peaks out

Where did that come from?? Absolutely quality signing

Very good signing and also a high earner so no more claims of smallest budget in the league

Thats come out of the blue, decent player at this level, The last 2 signings in Rav and Jay are fantastic signings.

Sorry to put dampener on things, but this does raise a question. Is there a problem with Smith's fitness/health or availability.?

In principle this could be a good signing. Shamsi is exciting and has undoubted talent but he never stays long anywhere!

I also wonder where this leaves Smith who is definitely a 20 goal a season stiker. Can we play Shamsi/Smith and Jones together in a font 3? That would be interesting with Williams/Dias and Jesse making up the midfield perhaps.

The jury is out on this one but I really hope this works out for us

Finally, yes Brownie he'd be on good money but I am guessing that the club Lottery has been used to help out again.

Sam wages freed up gets you this type of player!

Quality signing. Must play as part of a front 2 tho! However, worried about Lorell. Started 1st game, couple of sub appearances and not seen for last 3 games?? No injury news as yet?? Really hope we haven't lost him. Would be a Massive loss for us

Good signing that. I heard Lorell had covid so maybe struggling to recover as so many people have.
