    GK Davies, *Townsend Walton
    RB Yiadom McCarthy
    LB
    CB Roberts, MacDonald *Jackson Lindsay
    CM *D'Almeida Mowatt McGeehan
    RM *Hedges
    LM Hammill
    AM Moncur Mallan
    ST Bradshaw *Payne

    Other Lee Kpekawa Jackson Tutton

    * question marks got to be on these players

    Need Attacking LEFT footed Left back, Striker to replace Fletcher, Left Footed left winger, Trusted ball winning midfelder, Right Winger

    Personally I would like to see Kpekawa given a chance at CB and a top end centre back that's good on the ball to come in. I would also like them to really push the boat out on a top striker for our budget.

    Don't think Kpekawa is ready for championship football

    It's taking shape now though.
    Certainly agree on the need for a top striker but nobody really springs to mind.
    Things are happening, positive things.

    Personally I think if Hecky thought Kpekawa had anything about him, he would have played him in at least one of the last 10 matches or so when we were playing with flip-flops on.

    I agree with all of that. If we managed to get those five players in then I'd be very happy about the summer's work.

    Marquis? He would be perfect but not heard his name mentioned since January, with regard to links with us.
    I'm sure some have been identified and we're certainly heading in the right direction.

    I am pleased with how it's shaping up and we are doing our business early which hasn't been the case in recent years no doubt a few more still to come and a few loans

    2 strikers a defensive midfielder and a box to box midfielder. A left back on permanents then see what loans are out there. I'd like to see if we can get any forwards from Europe. The talent pool in the U.K. Seems very small.

    Brilliant signings so far. Very impressive.

    from a purely selfish point of view it would be great if matty james doesn't get a look in at Leicester then maybe a cheeky season long loan bid from us.
    well we can dream a suppose

    'Cos that's his opinion. You're not behind the door at putting your opinions on here so why shouldn't he?

    Because they're players who have been exceptional at their previous clubs, where they played competitive adult football, same as hourihane, yiadom etc did. Now I'll grant you that's no guarantee of success, Orient fans thought Dawson was the dogs ********, but I am confident.

    Because given our budget I believe they are as good as we can get. The best uncapped defender in Scotland, a graduate of the Southampton Academy who has won player of the season 2 years running, McGheehan sought after and having seen him play with the potential to be the next Neil Redfearn and the raw talent of Mallan.

    I appreciate that they aren't 12 year old Chelsea players but hey ho.

    Why have I seen this nonsense about me wanting to sign 12-year-olds or whatever? That's bull ****. We've signed a former u16 from Chelsea too to shut people up.
    Plus i'd have signed a 18-year-old from chelsea in Tammy when anyone older than him.

    In another thread you question the quality of our signings. Absolutely entitled to do that, you may be proved correct. But on what basis do you question their quality? The same basis that JC feels that they're good signings?

    I was asking him to say why he thought the way he did that's all. I can explain why with all the signings too.

    Unlike your opinions based purely on whose Premiership youth squad they're signed up to.
