    Apparently Huddersfield have agreed a 1.2m fee with Birmingham for him

    Taylor, Charles and May if it comes off will be some firepower for this league, Gooch, Kane, Wiles and Harness in midfield all capable of finishing.
    I'd make them favourites tbh

    Lee Grant won't last long if he can't get that lot near the top 2.

    Not that strange, he was reportedly on £8k a week at Charlton.

    Ffs. He'll bag a tonne of goals again, probably a customary couple against us, the square headed tossmonger

    I don't quite get why people are fawning over a front 3 of Charles, Taylor and May. I think May is decent, but seems a lot for a 32 year old. Other two barely scored last year.

    We've gone for a 37 year old, with no back up.

    Deon Charles is monkey jizz on a stick, but the other two are top strikers for this level, and proven.

    Wish we could get a journeyman with 92 in the past 4 seasons, showing he can bang goals in at 3 different clubs in that time.

    True. But I didn't say we'd done better business...

    He is called ‘Didzy’ though, as the club keeps telling me. Repeatedly.

    He will be a good signing I reckon, but as you rightly point out , we are very sparse in that area. Would love us to sign another couple of ‘Didzy’s’ ilk

    Taylor looks a good prospect, not sure I'd describe him as proven like.
    Be interesting to hear what Huddersfield fans think because he didn't seem to get many goals for em. Obviously the injury didn't help.

    By this stage of pre season it does make you wonder how hard we are trying or how inept or skint we are doesn't it?

    I've heard/read all sorts of figures for Benson's wages. I find it hard to believe he was on that much, but given the season when he signed for us is comfortably the most disastrous in my years of watching the Reds, it probably is accurate.

    I find it hard to believe too. But if it were anywhere near that, and we didn't put a relegation clause in, even more grand work done by Lee and Conway.
