Yesterday Peterborough signed a Striker from Bristol Rovers, not long after the Toney to Brentford deal was given the green light. The dominos are falling, once we get one in I think you will see 2 or 3 in not long after. Watkins looking likely to be the first.

Remember to not give to much time to obvious paper BS, for example the Hourihane to Turkey links. On the surface it sounds like rubbish, young family, unlikely to uproot all that to go to Turkey. Then when you dig deeper the article which is from a very questionable source, and says "the players agent has contacted us a made the player available to us" just makes it even more unlikely. Brighton bid for him last season, he had a good season last season when you look at how many points he won us with his goals and assists, always amongst the goals in the championship. If he moved, you'd bet your house it would be closer to home.

It's silly season with the rumours, remember that. We've got fans pissed off that we haven't signed certain players when we were never interested in them in the first place, it was BS to fill a news column, then when it doesn't come off fans say "we couldn't even get that over the line", when there was nothing to get over the line in the first place.

We all want signings, but to think the club aren't grafting their arse off to get them is mad, you don't make it this far as the owners have in business, or as the management and board set up have without knowing the score. Last season we was signing people right throughout the window, but we ended up with some right rubbish and really the best player from last summers window came threw the door 2 days before Spurs away. We would all like early business but if it can't happen, and we have to wait to get who we want, so be it, it's much better than going after 3rd and 4th choice players.

"Grafting their arse off" That sounds very painful pal.
I'm sure they're working hard to get the right players in and there aren't many clubs doing business at the moment. With 2 weeks to go it is important to get players on board as soon as possible. We've been linked with so many it's difficult to know which ones are true and which aren't.
Just hope we can get off to a good start.

I know Johnny, cutting through the paper BS is getting harder, some are blatant lies just to fill articles but some you have to second guess.

I reckon we should put a bid in of £15M for Toney, see how Brentford like it 👊🏻
