Ok thanks couldn’t see anything on Twitter about it.
Tho did see photo of two brothers holding a QPR shirt in a restaurant in Notting Hill tonight celebrating one of their engagements - where I happened to be. Weird coincidence but nice moment

think its just paper talk as we probably don't need another CB if we're playing 4 at the back

Our “significantly improved” offer for McNamara obvs went down well with Millwall then… 🤦

We really need to stop fucking around with the right back situation. Adomah isn’t one and kakay isn’t a good enough one. We’ve known it all summer since Moses departed. We have at least got a couple
Of options up front even if we’re light. We don’t have one championship standard right back and that’s a major problem with the season starting tomorrow. I get waiting to add to certain areas but when you haven’t even got one it’s a bit unprofessional

Amos and Dickie can at least cover there temporarily, for what that's worth. I'm sure we'll sign one before the window shuts though.
"We need to bring in another RB to compete with Kakay" - MB, today (WLS)

Am sure we will get one before the window closes but that is a lot of games - and if I were an opposition manager I’d be saying “pile in on their right back, that’s where they are vulnerable”.

One of the points Beale raised in that interview that Stanley posted was that a lot of players / agents have not adjusted to the new economics of the Championship so the kind of contracts that they were on from three or four years ago are just not being renewed at anything like the same rate - by us or by anyone else. In situations like this markets always take time to adjust before they find their new level. By the sounds we have been having a lot of frustrating negotiations with players wanting too much - and as Beale rightly wants to sign our own players rather than loans If at all poss, this is prob one big reason why we go into our opening fixture with no adequate player in two specialist key positions.

It’s probably a real shock to MB system that lots of our back up players are not up to the required standard, I’m sure at his previous clubs he would probably have 3 or 4 players competing for each spot.
It’s fine and dandy wanting players that will be here next season but the real economics of our club point towards loaning in players to fill the gaping holes that currently exist.

Indeed and for this reason it definitely points to signings (for us and most of the division) going right to the wire on deadline day. So can't see our squad being complete until then. That will no doubt have an impact on our results/performances up until that point, which Beale alluded to in his Blackburn pre-match interview. |

It’s fine and dandy wanting players that will be here next season but the real economics of our club point towards loaning in players to fill the gaping holes that currently exist. the 'only' positions in the side where i think we have adequate and solid depth is CB, CM and AM. i'm not a huge fan of archer and would have been much more at ease had we kept marshall there, especially if walsh heads out on loan. RB is nonexistent whilst niko is fortunate enough to have the greatest agent in the world. strikers are a weird one as i've liked what i've seen from bonne and he's lead the line well plus i think we need to keep a path open for armatrong to get minutes whilst dykes is a liability. a hattrick against wealdstone doesn't excuse the fact that he was pretty anonymous in preseason. if we can get rid of dykes and bring someone else in it'd be a lot better. cameron archer has been linked with us numerous times and with parrott going on loan to preston you'd expect us to be a shoe in for archer to come here on loan. he'd fit in very nicely up top imo. |

Yeah but the elephant in the room is that there are now two championships: the 'chute regiment and the rest of them. To have even a sniff of getting back in the money you either have spend some - and as we saw last season 1m well spent buys you a 20+ goals per season striker - or be razor sharp with your scouting and dof network. Either way the board have to shit or get off the pot. A bright young gaffer is great, but if he's surrounded by people who think 2m on Dykes was well spent then we're staying right where we are, mid table anonymity. |

Hope you are right re Archer but imagine half the Championship will be after him - don't think its a shoe-in by any means. Would be a coup and one that would potentially transform our chances this season.
Agree with everything else you say there tho Corbs.

Once the season starts, players will know who is/ isn't going to play. I would expect all clubs to start buying/selling again.

If Macnamara being left out by Millwall perhaps that is slowly getting there.
But it is the striker situation that will surely make or break our season

Have said on here before, I don’t see the point of developing someone else’s young player and sending ours out on loan. I don’t think he’s made much of an impression at Leeds. |

I would take Davis instead, although he does seem a sick note, Villa have also got Caleb Chukumeka (elder brother of Carney) who Gerrard sees as a 9.
