… linked last summer so wonder if we’re one of the 2 clubs?

True, but things tend to come out quite quickly these days
Also can't imagine if we were going for both that Newcastle would want one of their young stars being part of a 4 man rotation in the centre of midfield |
Which may have been why they turned us down. But it was probably worth an ask, if the Billing deal is not tied up yet. |  |

No idea. I hope so though. We need a bit of height in the team still I think. Billing can also play in the 10 as well. Would be fun. |
So what would that make
Hirst akpom strikers
Philogene clarke Sammy s left side
Billing chappers central
Ogbene clarke burns right. |  |

I think it's likely that we've got multiple deals/enquiries in progress for lots of these roles. Quite possible we're trying to progress 6/7 CMs and when we sign 1/3 we end the interest in the others. |  |

New singing Hirst Akpom as 9s
Philogene Clarke left (Szmodics as an option)
SS Chaplin Central (Akpom an option Billing as an option also a CM, depends where KM sees him if it happens)
New signing Ogbene Right (Clarke as an option)
Still think we may 2 more attackers if we can, but is loads of versatility there. People can sort of play everywhere. |  |

Don't disagree at all, my point was more that Birmingham are in a similar position to us in that respect.
If we end the transfer window for arguments sake with that 4, an Omari replacement (the young Norwegian lad) and a top #9 then you could make a strong argument that our squad is stronger now than last season, despite the departures. [Post edited 20 Aug 10:20]

Who is the 9 we get? I’ve been trying to think of some realistic targets who can push/replace Hirst & I’m struggling, maybe I need to start playing FM again! |  |

We may end up looking abroad again. I think we will end up with Salech from Cardiff though. | |

Pretty slim pickings domestically innit. I wonder if we're thinking we should've firmed up the rumoured interest we had in Divin Mubama. 2 in 2 for Stoke so far. |  | | |

Fofana at Chelsea
Obafemi at Burnley
Semedo at Sunderland
Chermiti at Everton
If they’re surplus to requirements might be last minute punts. Feels like we are in a queue on deadline day and need to take the best available we can now. |  |

Where has this come from? |
Twittersphere was talking about rejected bid but was under the impression we’d upped it a few million over what Napoli had to pay, and it was down to him wanting a long deal. | |

Especially as he is the sort of player who would be very useful in the prem if we were to get back there. | |

If we have to resort to Obafemi then something has seriously, and I mean seriously gone wrong this summer. | |

I think it’s pretty clear things have gone wrong to a fair degree. We’ve not landed several targets for various reasons - plenty of it out of our control. But it’s pretty thin gruel in the prem squads without us going mental and somehow convincing bigger names to come here. | |

Will be interesting to see where Akpom gets used and whether with him in the squad we go for a younger, higher potential 9 than someone more established. | |

That account doesn’t look too reliable to me, but the initial report about Miley had Billing mentioned as well and that turned out to be correct.
Lots of noise about Billing as well, maybe something in it. | |

Not at first but I searched ‘Ipswich’ on their page and seems to be fairly good, unless they delete when they are wrong | | | |

Osula is the one we want but no way Newcastle can let him go even if he wants to go. Think those are the type of dominoes that need to fall to show where we sit in the queue. | |

That article says 'as Billing pushes for regular game time ahead of Denmark’s 2026 World Cup campaign.' I'm not sure if he would be a starter here, but would probably alternate with Cajuste, as Cajuste's minutes have to be managed due to his knee injury. | | | |

Genuinely reckon they’ll try and tempt Ian Rush out of retirement soon. | |
