    I think this is what we're hoping for 100%. No guarantee we'll manage it right enough so there will be fall back options, but I reckon we're trying like *. Expect the LB recruitment to go all the way!

    Don’t get me hopes up mate :67: I hope it’s what we’re doing but could be too good for I be through. I’d say we have to be making the enquiries though, mental if we aren’t.

    could be why it’s taking so long to hear any movement on a left back :fear:

    Good news on the big Swede if we can pull that off..

    Hopefully a left back like Gudmundsson or someone of his and Tierney's (he won't be coming) ilk..

    A big commanding, ball playing keeper like thst Kovar..

    A quick and creative player for left wing..

    Another box to box type in the middle..

    4 more after the big Swede and filling those positions, you'd be fairly happy with for now and shifting some deadwood out..

    Decent start to the week after the Starfelt news..

    What a job Michael has done

    Ano it's maybe a bit pie in the sky, although if there's any player that would be willing to take a big pay cut to come here, you'd think KT is the guy.

    Think there would have been plenty links for an LB by now if it wasn't an possibility!

    Hopefully but being realistic I don’t see it. Would be a huge boost though. Hopefully with this cb coming in GK and LB are the next two positions to be recruited regardless. Has to be a clear upgrade on what we have aswell

    Hope to see one more in this week after the Swede now, assuming that goes ahead. Ideally a GK or a LW.

    With how quickly we've moved to replace starfelt.. I wonder if we have a specific target in mind to replace Jota but we may be waiting for them to become available towards the end of the window.

    Mad how few links there are, not a complaint but remarkable.

    I think the Jota deal took us by complete surprise and it's taken a few weeks to draw up the final short list.

    Link to the swede once again an example of the media in this country and, tbh, us fans knowing absolute sweet * all.

    It's been broken in a similar fashion to the Nawrocki deal which makes me think its almost there.

    Few more like that pls.

    Starting to feel a bit more optimistic after how quick we've seemed to move on Starfelt's replacement.

    Where was this urgency to find Jotas replacement?

    That's what scares me to that we've already signed him, or Rodgers thinks we can make do and concentrate elsewhere.

    If we get 2-3 more in the same way we've signed Nawrocki and Swedish Gus then I'll be happy.

    The guys we're linked to by MSM are so far from what we actually target it's laughable.

    Have to admit to being a little underwhelmed by our summer dealings (so far!).

    Like many, I was convinced that Brendan was going to make quite a few quality signings.
    With Jota gone, I'd say we're in a weaker position now than when we ended the season.

    Sometimes its the hope that kills you...
