That would be very promising, and piss of Tactical Tim, all in one move. |  | | |

I would imagine that we will be busy 'early doors' if we are expecting transfer problems arising from FFP. |  | | |

Damn I'm getting excited about next season now. Can't we have some time to wallow in self pity? | | | |

Just to add the usual negativity - Swindon midfield did not cover themselves in glory at Wembley.
As mentioned on another thread - they stuck to same game plan, even when clear it wasn't working. | | | |

Good news and about time we had a bit of positivity | | | |

Can't someone have a word in Les's ear about Che Adams from Sheff Utd, especially now Nige has gone. This kid has something about him and with the help of Les could be a real gem. | |

Down here that's normally what the manager gets called out for - are Swindon different? |  |

One off game, occasion may have got to them. I'm more interested how they performed during the regular season. Gladwin got 11 goals in 41 games, sounds promising. |  |

Wont we have to be anyway. Preseason cant be far off with Season KO being on 8th Aug
You have to hope that any understanding they have developed playing with each other over the past season will only get better this, potentially adding stability |  | | |

Don't worry, we don't have a game plan anyway!

I'm gonna have to break the positivity here I am afraid and say I am not impressed at all, mainly because of the ridiculous money being mentioned at 4 million which would be ludicrous. I have seen Luongo play a number of times and he has great technical ability and has a great skillset, but he is often inconsistent and can be a passenger at times, when the going gets tough, he's a bit of a lightweight too but he can be very influential in games. I would not pay anything more than a million for someone like Luongo, especially as he has no experience at playing championship football other than a minor loan spell at Ipswich which in my opinion is a different ball game to league 1, I also spoke to a few Swindon fans on twitter etc and they seemed to biting my hand off at the price being mentioned.
I don't know too much about Gladwin but I know he has played for a host of non-league clubs which I respect and had a good season, a successful goalscoring season too from midfield where he got 8 goals and I've been told he has a hell of a shot on him too but once again he would be a gamble at Championship level and wouldn't pay over a million for him either especially as he has not had over one year of experience in the Football League.
I don't think we are gonna have as much money to spend as we did last time we were here so to spend probably half on it on these two players would not be wise especially as we are gonna need to invest heavily in two quality strikers at least. [Post edited 27 May 2015 10:48]

we paid £5m for Mutch, £7m for caulker, similar for Hoilett and let's not mention SWP. Happy with £4m for 2 relative youngsters | | | |

Gladwin sounds like the new Stuart Wardley! Let's hope he is more than a one season wonder.
We don't know any of the details of the breakdown of the fees (payment clauses etc) or even if it's true yet.
We've appointed Ramsey on his coaching ability allegedly, so sounds like these two have plenty of upside if they are handled properly.
I'm happier cheering them on than Barton and Gary O'Neill... | | | |

From memory we haven't usually done much business by the start of the season and certainly we wouldn't be doing any at all if we were in the process of recruiting a new manager, by which time we might have received a transfer ban. | | | |

I only saw the highlights but looked like they were far too open in that game and couldn't cope with the front two of Preston. No idea at all if these two are any good but good to see us looking at the lower leagues for a change |  | | |

Swindon as a team didn't turn up against Preston. Would have been a bit different if they didn't have a donkey playing up front for them | | | |

Oh yeah don't get me wrong, these players would be a step in the right direction. But have we got as much money to spend than when we were last in the Championship?
They would be a breath of fresh air compared to Gary O'Neil and the overpaid mercenaries like Sandro who we only spent 10 million quid on... It would be a much smarter long term investment, it's just the price that does it for me, got to be sensible if we are about to be hit for 58 million in FFP. I tell you what if that's all proven false, il endorse this move.
I love a gamble from the lower leagues, I am huge admirers of players like Ivan Toney and Ryan Woods in the lower leagues and I would be over the moon if they came to Loftus Road and in fairness I would take Luongo too but I just think we should go for someone with a bit more experience like Josh McEachran from Chelsea, who is the same age, has experience in the championship, abroad and in the premier league for Chelsea, superb box to box midfielder, can sit, but is also influential in the final third, in his last year of his contract there and wants first team football and would be available on the cheap. There is other examples too but I suppose what I am saying is that we should take educated gambles that would be available for a reasonable price. [Post edited 27 May 2015 11:15]
