Okay looks as though his deal has now gone through. AST is attracting interest and we have yet to see any serious offers for Fellows or one of our keepers. None should be a concern imo. I'm hoping Cleary steps up and we're well stocked with keepers.

I wish I could agree with you BlueBaggie but all I see is a club in such financial sh1t that any player is available for sale. Not only for sale but seemingly at rock bottom prices. I appreciate that BTA is not the most prolific striker and can be incredibly frustrating, but he was a raw League 2 player two seasons ago and, in my view, has come on leaps and bounds. For a young striker with real potential, less than £2 million seems a ridiculous fee, particularly when some of that will go to Salford.

With less than two weeks before the start of the season, our strike force comprises a crock, another guy who was injured for most of the season, and a guy even Cardiff don’t want. I admire your optimism over Reyes Cleary but I just don’t see it; two seasons ago he was going to be the next best thing but seems to have made no progress whatsoever, to the point where Corberan doesn’t seem to rate him.

Sorry if this sounds utterly miserable but I’m not seeing much to celebrate at the club

I’ve always wanted to give BTA the benefit of the doubt but his hold up play and general positioning just doesn’t seem to be improving. He’s scored a few standout goals but the regular in-front of goal strikers get the important touch type finishes are just not frequent enough for me. So whilst there is a tinge of sadness in seeing him go I am not losing all hope just yet.
