Christian Tello from Barcelona and Goktan Tore . Nice signings if they come. In talks with Tellos agent. Not sure what is happening with Tore Be great to see who we bring in as managers. Still think we need to expand stadium . Most of space goner. Open up family stand and get people in stadium. European football awaits, be nice if we upped it to 40k Need to show we mean business but think Mane and Wanyama make good business sense.

Personally think Tello would be a poor signing considering he's been average at best in the Portuguese league. Gokhan Töre is a superb signing however, arguably one of the better players in the Turkish league this season which is on par with if not better than the Portuguese league.

Regarding expanding the stadium, unless we get 30k+ a week for a whole season I don't think the board will consider it. It's a nice idea but it doesn't make any business sense considering we're not selling out every week.

We are there or there abouts on selling out each week. The family section is all but sold out to season ticket holders and we could accommodate more away fans . If we build it they will come! With the new money now is the time. Would also help if we made a major signing or two. Brining in some marque players would boost attendances .

I'm not necessarily sure I agree. The stadium is fit for purpose at the moment and would just be an added cost that we don't need to spend. It wouldn't pay for itself for a long time, that's if it actually did. Unfortunately the stadium expansion is just something for the fans to enjoy, it isn't necessary and doesn't actually make good business sense at the moment. If we were in champ league and/ or selling out EVERY week and fans were regularly unable to get tickets or if there were a long waiting list for season tickets then yes, but we are a long way off that. Also, let's bear in mind that our owner doesn't actually like spending money on the club.
