Agreed but I don't think anyone is going to meet his wage demands. I reckon he'll be loaned out again, later in the window.

Hopefully Dessers is the next to help fund new players.

So, now we're all xg'd out, are there any more transfer rumours? 😃

The fact we've been relying so heavily on a right back tells its own story.

The transfer window is still open. Far too early to judge.

From what H&H are saying, it sounds like Tav will be on his way to Turkey.

You can't be far from me then. The funny thing is, I'll be in Germany watching us next Saturday! Currywurst Loyal

Usually everyone is keen to see new faces when pre-season starts but due to the the lack of transfer activity this time, even that aspect is severely dulled. I'll watch the game tomorrow but suspect I'll probably spend 50% of the time fannying about on my phone and sticking albums on. And I have a real hatred for Man Utd - horrible club.

Maybe. Either way, Clement knew he wouldn't be starting a few days ago and so did we.

Clement said he wasn't going to be a starter, so it won't make much difference to the first team (if he is injured).

Difficult to be sure about what the plan would be if Tav moves on. Clement might think Sterling and Devine can cover RB but I'd have thought he'd want to bring in a more experienced replacement.

At least things appear to be happening now. Hopefully there'll be at least a couple of ins and outs before we hit Brum.

@Idisi, I see Dynamo Berlin are playing Carl Zeiss Jena on Friday 25th (the night before our game). I was thinking of going - would this be a pay at the gate affair or would I need to get a ticket beforehand?

Transfer work will obviously be going on behind the scenes, with minimal leakage to the scummy Scottish press - as it should be. Thankfully*, we've got the jokes about Saudi Arabia and China to keep us all entertained though. *

It's a pre-season friendly against a Man Utd team with not many starters - what a player does in a match like this won't make much, if any, difference to how the support or management view him.

I read (rumour) that Raskin will be out for a while. The Moroccan lad won't be a starter, initially, according to Clement.

Raskin already out.

They want £7m. We can't afford him.

Things can change fast during the transfer window but it certainly looks pretty grim, as it stands.

So the "cold hard facts" are that we don't know what went on.

Absolutely.

Cold hard facts based on guesswork.

Exactly. We should have learned our lessons by now. As much as I can't stand him, Alex Ferguson was a master of getting rid of players at just the right time. We could do with more of that harshness and less of the cloying sentiment.

Well, Hagi and Lammers haven't contributed anything recently, so those two don't need replaced. It's all about sensible squad management, although recent windows haven't exactly given us much cause for comfort.
