Jeonbuk 1.3m Euro. Right winger, can play up top.

I’m enjoying this summer, it’s like we’ve discovered a copy of Football Manager… hoping we sign some flairy South American now to finish the set!

No way we can spent £7-8M without selling someone soon…

Coventry have joined Millwall in the interest in Caleb Taylor

We lost two defenders, so they're being replaced by Philips and Campbell.

Not necessarily true, at least not so short term, wages are the far bigger problem and players from abroad, especially from less illustrious football nations tend to be much cheaper wage and sign on fee wise, so we can afford to use some money towards a fee. 

Our new owners don't seem to be stupid, they'll know what we can and can't do.

The Korean lad looks just what we need from his tube highlights. Attacks the goal really well.

All the accounts reporting interest yesterday are now saying it's looking unlikely, no bid accepted etc. Does look what we need though.

Has a touch of the Mitoma from Brighton about him in the way he drives forward with the ball… 

In other news Grady being linked with Portsmouth, I thought he’d end up somewhere further up the food chain.

I'm hoping that's true, about the owners.
Maybe we've finally got someone who buys before they sell, thus putting us into a better position re accepting bids, while not seeing prices go up because we have income.
Sensible. But this is Albion.

Some more random rumours emerging:

Abdoulie Manneh - pacy 20 winger with a decent goal return for AIK in Sweden so far and Velte Auklend, another 20yo Norwegian LB who has just broken through at Viking.
