We all know the club need to bring in an experienced striker, but with the departure of Jagielka and possible Zouma staying at Chelsea don't we also need to look for experienced CB to come in.
Does anyone know what the situation is with Holgate. Is he staying at WBA or returning?

As far as I know he has returned. Obviously things can change but I have not heard anything about him going back. Personally I think it would be a bad move, for him, going back and continuing to play right back.

Even if he does come back I'd still say that leaves us one short. Keane and Mina to start with Holgate as back up doesn't leave much space for injuries, unless we promote from the U23s.

It will be interesting to see how Gibson does in the remaining pre season games. For me he’s good enough and ready for a place in the squad but only time will tell.

You also can’t forget we also paid 6mill for him a few years ago so he’s obviously highly rated.

Just read that Dowel is out on season long loan as well now so it is a priority.

Not totally sure how reliable their data is but according to transfermarkt we paid £990k for Lewis Gibson but the fee could rise to £6m.

Holgate is back with us and played in the friendly in Kenya and wasn't that impressive at centre back Lewis Gibson also played as centre back in game and look really good calm on the ball made a few mistakes but at 18 looks like a very promising prospect.
