Shandon Baptiste would be excellent at championship level, Charlie Goode used to be decent but has had some lengthy injuries
Baptiste is a decent player but injury prone. Return to Oxford most likely I’d say.

If she's six foot eight with bunches of bananas for hands, the shirt's hers.

of the teams that went up i thought luton might do it, and stay up. big gap between the prem and the championship.
…. And getting bigger …
This: massive problem.

It's the first time all 3 sides promoted have been relegated since 1998 apparently.
I told you social and wealth disparities could only widen!

Starmer to blameI told you social and wealth disparities could only widen!
Thatcher/Blair/Cameron/Johnson/Starmer - a long streak of poison

Some of their players will be cherry picked by lower end Prem clubs. So they might have a rebuild on the cards.

They can offer more wages than most in this league so if that's where he goes it's obvious why.

Stoke always recruit brilliantly on paper and then everyone is surprised when they stay bottom half

you could and should have started and ended with Blair, he's the fucker to blame.
Now watch this descend into the "Burnley ' thread.

Edwards linked to Ipswich if McKenna goes to Brighton.
Again, if he does, so be it. It will be a money decision over "potential project". Similar to Browne.
And like Browne SM is not someone I would be breaking bank for, yes wouldn't be bad, but its not ground breaking.
Not seen enough to form opinion. Any transfer fee will be offset with lower wages than SM likely to command.

Stoke are a strange one. Seemed to recruit really well last year and always seem to have so much money to throw around yet they seem to end up 15th/16th every year.
You’d think they are due to have a crack at playoffs at some point.
If we do lose out on McCallum I will just trust our recruitment team to find someone better as we always seem to do. I also think it’s more down to MR/AV who seem to make average players look fantastic. We’ve seen through the years that when players leave (with obvious exceptions) they seem to fall off a cliff.
I also agree with some on here that we should be utilising 2/3 top quality loans this year to fill in gaps where needed so maybe LB is one of those spots.

McCallum, similar to Browne isn’t worth breaking the wage structure for. If Stoke want to give him silly money on a big contract let them crack on.
How often do you think teams sell players for a tidy profit, get them back on a free later, and then sell them again down the line for even more? Would be funny to sell McCallum to Norwich for 3.5 mil, have him back for free, and then sell him for a few million more in a couple years.

nah, they have a mid level championship team once people like barkley leave

Yeah I really rated him when he was here why are Norwich, a team with similar aspirations to us next season letting him go on a free? I’d take him back especially on a free but I wouldn’t pay over the odds

And? What does that have to do with anything Greggs? I am referring to the team they are likely to have next season and the standard of the championship next season.

They’ll have a huge budget to spend with a strong manager and core to the squad, should be right up there.

I doubt they're going to go against all previous behaviour which has been successful for them and spend a disproportionate amount on players. They've got a once in a lifetime opportunity to fund a significant amount of the cost of a new stadium.
The cost of which based on the link is going to be significant: Luton Town stadium river rerouting plans submitted
God I’ve missed you, Greggs x

Theu will have a better squad then when they finished 3rd so how do you grasp that?
