There is a difference between criticizing players performances and writing them off as needing permanent replacement after two games, looks like a few people haven't been able to make that distinction
Indeed. I guess it’s an addition that would give Blooms another option. I think our midfielders probably have to accept that they won’t be playing every game this season.
Humphreys, Scowen, Bakinson, Butcher, Leahy all for 2/3 central midfield positions. Humphreys seems to have a great reputation so at least one of these ‘big’ players will miss out.
We seem committed to two wide players. We seem committed to four at the back. Whilst we don’t have Chelsea squad issues I’m not sure about the balance.
But, if his Ipswich namesake does come on loan before Saturday, fans of either side will be able to chant “there’s only one Cam’ron Humphreys, one Cam’ron Humphreys”.
Representing England at a major tournament would be a true career highlight, but he has not had a straightforward route to the top. In 2017, QPR sent him out on loan to League Two side Wycombe Wanderers to test him, and he returned as the player who would go on to terrorise Premier League defences.
Recalling Eze’s sudden transformation, former QPR team-mate Lynch told BBC Sport: "He was a brilliant player before he went but when he came back he was just a different animal. It was just mad. I don't know what happened to him but when he came back he was unbelievable, just a completely different player.
"Every bit of his game was better. He literally came back our best player. He was miles above the rest really. The way he carries himself is perfect. If any young lad coming through the game wants to look at a player it would be him, he's the prime example of how to be a professional. He's a class act."
That is absolutely outstanding, @Chris. I remember reading it before - goodness knows where - and I hope @bluntphil is aware of it. Failing that, Matt Cecil or dad Cecil. It’s gotta be a deal clincher. Surely.

Might be ear mites!

Slow rumour day with all this ‘my view is better than your view’ nonsense.
Another midfielder in the door on loan for Ipswich, so I suspect the Humphreys loan will go through before the weekend.
Can he play centreback?
Still trying to figure out where he plays with the current squad.
According to the ever reliable Wikipedia, he actually covers at LB.

if we actually get it over the line, i think we might see him in the 10

I must have missed earlier references to “Humphreys”. What’s his first name, please.

Thanks, both.
I thought we finished 10th last season. Sloppy work by the East Anglian Times.

Oh good. Sensible hair.
Yes he can. And does.

That isn't the one we're linked with. This is the one we are linked with: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameron_Humphreys_(footballer,_born_2003)
Sorry, wrong Cameron Humphreys.

Apparently it’s being left up to the player to choose between us and Peterborough.
Send him this:

I know. The wrongun came up when I googled and, because of @drcongo’s quip, I decided to go with it. Naughty of me.
I think that's all decided he shares an agent with Potts by all accounts

All good stuff. I’m getting excited 😊
Slow down, still other details to work out I think
Any rumours regarding Nigel, Taylor or Kodua please @kipper?
Nige returning would be outstanding.
Don't think there's any chance
details getting close on humphreys
