highfield49 added 10:42 - Aug 9 Fingers crossed that we have pulled off at least three signings that are going to be absolute gems. And, even if they are sold in a couple of years time for substantial fees, at least the club won't be in administration or receivership any time soon. Great news.

dirk_doone added 12:06 - Aug 9 This is good news. It's not guaranteed that Armstrong will continue his Championship goalscoring form in the Premier League but he has great pace which is a key factor at this level, and with the brilliant Livramento creating lots of chances for him, he should be fine. It would be great if they could both play at Everton. Now, we need to ask Bournemouth if they would please take Long back and, with Broja coming in from Chelsea, maybe they could take Obafemi on loan too.
