Or just a 'free for all' with nobody taking sides. I miss the days where people posted without giving a shit.

I’m still posting and who gives a fuck what Danny thinks

Was Canos given a ban too as he obviously broke the same rules as Kane?

Nope. Biggest difference was Kane admitted the charge. Canos denied it. Rob Dickie backed up Kane's version of events. I guess only those involved will genuinely know what happened.

A physio visiting my 87 year old stepfather the other day commented on a lawn mower 'bucket' that was left on his neighbour's lawn. 'That's been left out for the gypos' says he. You can't call them that says the physio, and then gave him a 5 minute lecture on Romany culture, Irish heritage etc. 'So you understand that you can't call them that do you?' she finished. 'I can' he replied 'just not when you're here'. I shrugged apologetically and mouthed 'sorry' to her from behind his back, and changed the subject.

9 signings. 6 first teamers - poor window

How many of those signings go straight into team?

Gyo... Nice.
Sheaf... (because we didn't bring in anyone else & not as good as James, I don't rate him.....yet)
Moore... replaced Marosi
Clarke-Salter... Loan who replaces Osti (not as good)
Bright... haha, well... let's see (yet to be seen)
Maatsen.... unproven at this level but OK... let's see

The rest go into the development team...

The squad is not better than last season.

underwhelmed....just my opinion.

There’s not many teams in the league that have a better squad this year than last season, Covid has hit everyone hard. There are teams who have weakened a lot more than us.

I might have agreed a few weeks ago, but Gyökeres, Sheaf, Moore & Maatsen have all been excellent. Clarke-Salter too soon to tell.

The squad is better than 12 months ago for the simple reason that our team now has a season's Championship experience behind them. The players that were here last season are better for that experience and noticeably feel far more comfortable playing at this level. I think many of our players have even further improvement in them too, which is always the upside of bringing in younger players, rather than the old expensive 'names' who are on their way down that many of our rivals prefer to sign.

I'd give 3/4 of those excellent ones half a season to prove they have class rather than form, too. I suspect most would want that a full 4/4 too...

I have a feeling Robins may want to play him at LWB as after all he's our player and you'd play your own over a loan if they are better right ?

Think maatson will end up on the bench if this lad turns out to be any good .. simple logic

Shivering at the thought of Marc Edworthy Mk2!

I mean he's signed him for a reason hasn't he , and I doubt it's to replace dabo .. I also doubt he wants to sit on the bench for 2 years , so he's got plans for him .

I think it's LWB

Nah, bench cover for three positions were lacking in. No way he gets in the tram ahead of Dabo, Maatsen or Sheaf. Probably just happy to be at a club and not frozen out.

I'm not sure , he's played 64 matches for QPR in the last 2 seasons and then was frozen out over comments made about a fellow teammate .

But let's look at the figure as an indicator.. 64 matches in 2 seasons at QPR a team that finished top 10 ... he's got to have something right?

He won't play where Sheaf is , he won't play where dabo is .. there's 1 place left naturally at LWB where we are currently using an inexperienced loanee.

You may be correct , I doubt he's signed to sit on the bench .. initially maybe , but long term I'm not sure that's the plan

He’s been a first choice in each of the last 3 championship seasons - he’s not going to be on a low salary so I think there’s a plan not just to warm a bench

Also , when you look at this goal at Hull.. he's scored from a LWB position getting forward

He'll play plenty. We'll rotate, we'll have injuries, suspensions, etc. We can make 3 subs a game. Seems a decent option to have.

It's straightforward really
Kane undermined the manager by making the comments about team selection in a podcast
The manager had no choice but to bomb him out or the rest of the team would have lost all respect for him
I doubt Kane will do it again

I guess it's that and not the on field comments that led to it. The club quite publicly backed him after the on field stuff.

Who do you think would be interested exactly? O’Hare and Hamer are the clubs best assets and no one bid for them
