Based on jan onwards, ulloa. He will be out pen taker I think now we are not signing david.

On our pre season tour, saw us beat getafe 1-0 last night.

Pretty much continuing from last season. Just need two midfielders, and a left back.

[DungBeetle]

I like Ulloa, but so much depends on what team Brighton put together by he start of the season.  At the moment, I don't expect them to be free scoring.  Still, for Catellon/Almeria/Brighton Ulloa has 78 goals in 185 appearances which is very good.

Certainly proved it over a long period and a higher level than Acuna (21 in 56 for Girona).  I do expect Watford to score significantly more goals than Brighton this season though, but much depends on how Zola rotates as Hornets have 4 genuine first team strikers now for the 2 berths (plus Assombolonga and that whizzkid from Reading) so game time might be limited whereas I don't think it will be for Ulloa.

sounds like a strong team, although our first 11 will be very strong come August, just got f*** all on the bench!

What profit/loss did you boys make in your latest set of accounts?

[DungBeetle]

Not sure - we normally make a heavy loss even after selling players, but that was before Pozzo.  Don't think we have had post takeover accounts done yet.  Attendences are up, but presumably wages up also.

kemy agustein set to join us, quality signing.

left back and midfielder and we have a top 6 side easily. nathan jones, who did wonders with charltons youth team and speaks spanish (and an ex player) joins, along with two very experienced spanish staff, one who has 15 years at valencia.

things looking a lot better now. thought it would all go pear shaped.

Watford travel to Poshies on Wednesday for a friendly, will report back.

Sheff Utd just took U20's England Captain Coady on loan until January.

Sheff Utd are in league 1!

Steve Lomas is making some good changes at Millwall. Their problem last year was scoring goals but Morrisson is back on a years loan and it looks like Scott Macdonald is about to sign from Middlesborough, they could make a good front two and it's a big improvement from last year. The squad has also been improved with Richard Chaplow signing from Southampton, Nicky Bailey joining from M'Boro, plus a couple of other experienced players strengthening the squad.

Definitely top half potential and I think they'll perform a lot better than the bookies think. I've had a few quid on them getting promoted at 25/1, yeah it's a bit optimistic but I think the play offs are a possibility.

Incredibly disappointing to be a Wednesday fan at the moment, we've made no moves whatsoever. If it wasn't for two weak sides in Yeovil and Donny coming up, then is be very worried about our chances.

We need strikers & quick.

I struggle to understand Barnsley signings though. COG is very 'meh', Nyatanga wasn't overly wanted by the faithful at Bristol City & Cofie made no impression at League One level.

I was looking into the future....?

I know it's only pre-season but I saw them play Brentford last week where they had a pretty much full strength team I'm lead to believe. They were awful - unfit and several leagues below the Brentford lot in terms of ability on the ball. Lomas has a hell of a job on his hands. I'd be very shocked if they made the top half. I'd expect bottom 6.
