Amazing news!! So happy!!

I think we are actually marginally better than last year now (marginally!!). Although Malone is gone, Cisse has looked good in pre-season, Norwood is a solid Championship player and the players have had a year together.

We still need a minimum of one ST, a solid CB for competition and maybe a backup LB.

I concur

do we really think we will go for another cb. Kalas Ream Madl sig is it dejou all on the books. Just can't see us going for anymore in that department

[Andy S]

Just a target man now and any others can settle in as we move forward

Kalas is the only nailed on starter, both Ream and Madl are milky, and the others wouldn't get on the bench in my Sunday team.
So picture this. Bearing in mind you have to cover every eventuality if your serious about promotion.
So picture this. Kalas gets injured. Are you going to be happy with a pairing of any of the others. I most certainly would not.  At the moment for me, it's Kalas and one other.
But that one other has not arrived yet.

Brilliant news!! And I agree with the above post. And we always have McDonald who seems to fit in pretty well when he drops back.

Ream was probably our best player for the Play-Offs, and one of, if not the best in the second half of the season. Unless he regresses him and Kalas are nailed on starters.

Offal first team page already updated with Kalas on there. Retains no.26.

[Mince n Tatties]

At last a piece of good news.

Ream and kalas good partnership ,do need another CB.

[JackHFFC1990]

Huge signing getting Kalas back. Kalas & Ream were strong at the end of the season

[JackHFFC1990]

Ream and kalas good partnership ,do need another CB.

Can't see another one with Madl Djalo & Sigurdsson backing up Ream & Kalas. Club will be hoping Djalo comes good

Me neither, their focus is now on striker, possibly 2 and i would not be surprised to see a GK appear. They will look at Madl, Sigg and Djalo and hope there is enough back up for cup games and injury. You might see something done in January but cannot see it happening now, other fish to fry!

Good news - good player, works in our system, wants to be here.

This may be the transfer window where I decide there's really no difference between loaning and buying a player.  Kalas and Piazon come on loan and end up here for at least two years.  Malone bought and we only got a year.  All that really matters is whether they want to be here and are suited to the job asked of them.

[montyandgeorge]

Great news. For me it's now all about he striker. Our strength last season was a goal could come from a whole range of player, and I don't want to see us become a side focused around one striker. But the number of crosses we did not connect to was criminal as Martin was so slow / heart not in it. Let's hope the war chest from our sales is still hovering around a few options.

[nevzter]

Good stuff.  Delighted.

You make a good point. My instant retort was about to be "yeah, but they're loyal to their parent club." Then I remembered the parent is Chelsea and they've seen so little of that place that they probably don't even know where the gents is.

[YankeeJim]

Sess, Carney & now Kalas. That and a mid and CB. Three KNOWN quantities and two possibles. Yet, the club NEVER brings in anyone.
Maybe, just maybe, there are people at the club that know more then we fickle fans.

[WhiteJC]

don't get me wrong I'm really pleased his back however, am I the only one who's disappointed that its another loan and not a purchase?

To be honest, we couldn't have bought him for a reasonable price. Chelsea always were going to be tough to negotiate with, because we all know how their loan system works. However if we want him again next season, I think a 3rd loan is excessive.

No, I can reassure you, that you are not alone.
