if he is short, quick and generally bad tempered he will definitely fit the Scottish billing.. Born in Dumbarton, I'm 6 foot, morbidly obese, slow but I am as grumpy as fuck....

Bamford is a right signing for middlesbrough...is that loan or permanent? you'd have though a PL team would have been in for him

If its an attacking midfielder from Chelsea-Reuben Loftus-cheek would be interesting.Maybe that is being a bit optimistic!-

Spoke volumes that Derby quickly shoved him on the bench and had no interest in taking him back this season he's 20.. went to derby in january and still played 21 games...also got a better goal to game ratio, at a higher level, than rhodes had when we signed him. Not saying he will be as good but certainly looks a prospect.

Lewis Baker would be a great signing. Looks a real player does that lad.

We'd have to get used to the lad being called Oslem Ferris.

Chatting with big Chelsea fan at work and asked about Chelsea players likely to go on loan, Feruz is possible but doesn't sound like he would suit playing with Wells. He reckons Todd Kane could be a good shout, can play RWB. Missing out on Christie means we probably want somebody who can play there naturally (unlike Hammill)

Missing out on Christie means we probably want somebody who can play there naturally (unlike Hammill) Might be a good call but I'd say it's dependent upon the formation Robins has in mind. Perhaps a left sided player who can play left back and left wing back might be a target and maybe more so than right back, given that we have Peltier and Smith? Maybe someone like Kevin Wright, although I've no idea how good he is tbh.

Maybe someone like Kevin Wright, although I've no idea how good he is tbh. I was thinking Peltier can cover a few positions, seems to be playing CB most of pre-season (but might be down to Gerrard not playing yet). Looks like he wants to see if Smith can play RWB. The players who he thinks are "Championship ready" are: Kane, could be a shout as mentioned above, can also play LB/LWB at a push so might cover both positions Chalobah, out of our price range and would want him at a team near the top of the league) Swift, can play all across the midfield and needs experience Baker, would be looking at top end championship so not for us Feruz, not the sort of striker we are after He doesn't think Wright is good enough for our level. He watches these players a lot so I'd take his opinion on it.

Chelsea have got a very good youth setup. Well..they hoover up a lot of good talent...but it's yet to convert to first team level (isnt john terry their last youth player to make it as a regular?) - so i'm not sure you could call it a good setup.

None of them really make any sense to me apart from Chalobah who I think might be going to Burnley, or Baker - but sounds like Majewski is on his way in anyway. Perhaps George Saville, but it seems pointless as we have Hogg.

Their youth system is pretty good in terms of facilities, but their use of the young players is absolutely disgraceful.

Well Majewski has no come in on a season long loan, good signing in my eyes but could this be a gateway for clayts to leave? I certainly hope not! Opinions?

No, Clayton isn't a 'number 10'. He is a central mid that links play together. We'd need someone else if he left.

Yep they do have similarities but he excels in a different position to Clayton, 'number 10'. Clayton can play there but he certainly doesn't excel there.

Our success rests heavily on Hogg in the favoured 3-5-2, hope he lives up to his reputation as we didn't see it often enough last season.

Personally I think Hogg might look a much better player now Majewski's here. A Clayton/Hogg/Majewski three is a hell of a lot more balanced than the Clayton/Norwood/Hogg combination we generally saw last year and that should be to the benefit of everybody. Just having someone willing move around, find space and demand the ball should make a hell of a difference.

Just having someone willing move around, find space and demand the ball should make a hell of a difference. There was a link earlier today to a really well thought-out tactical appraisal of Majewski's talents. It suggested that he has that ability and footballing intelligence to constantly find space. That being the case, our whole team will benefit as the big criticism of our midfield is that they are too static. Having a straightforward outball to a creative player should make us a much better team. Just need to get Clayton to release the ball a bit quicker from the base rather than his usual four or five touches.

Obviously he has improved to the tune of 750000 whilst playing in league two
