We have been linked with Rodolph Austin the free agent and the former Leeds man. He has championship experience and would give us a bit more bite in midfield. We have apparently held talks with him.

Haven't commented on this website for a long time, but having a look at all the players we've been linked with, to be honest, I'm struggling to get excited about too many of them. Partly because I haven't saw or heard of some, and other because they're the same old names. Wouldn't suprise me if we were linked with Matty Fryatt again!, but the 2 players I'm most excited about are this Austin and Leon Britton. 2 very good but very different centre mids. Austin is just what we need in the middle when playing a 442, where as Britton is an experienced head, calm on the ball and plays the style of football Jackett likes to use. Also he would be a great mentor for Jack Price as they are very similar players. By the end of the Window I'd like to sign another CM, LW, and a back up ST. And then look to January for a possible new left full back and see how Batth Stears Ebanks and Hause do at Centre Half

I think we need cover for golbourne at LB

I don't think it is something that is desperately needed, as we have Hause who can play that position. Golbourne is a solid LB. As I said above, Look for a new left back around January time because too many signings all at once could disrupt the squad harmony. I think we might need to offload a few players before we get some in as players like Rowe and Saville may not get a look in. Lee Evans might even struggle, even though i'm a big fan of Evans he may need a 3 month loan at a league 1 club to get going again. Very good footballer and has a lot of potential.

Sorry Stuu Hause is not the long term solution to the LB position. At Huddersfield he was shredded by Scannell. I think we have real issues with Golbournes foot injury and at present I would expect Rowe to start the season at LB. I see we have been linked with Conway at Blckburn, good player but with an age of 30 that is not going to happen.

I know he's not long term, as I said he's more than good enough until January, Unless we can get that Garbutt on a free
