Burnley are the most difficult to assess for me. Their squad is much better than their PL points tally in 23-24 would suggest. They underperformed due mainly to Kompany’s stubbornness and refusal to be pragmatic. They actually did OK in the last couple of months. Now here they are with same...

Hard to be sure about Leeds until the end of the window. If they lose players like Jimmy Summerville and Bill Gnonto without time to replace they’ll struggle to match last season’s performance. Burnley, great squad but not sure Parker can get the best out of them. I think Luton will be...

EMC, Simms, Saka Wright is a few weeks behind the others and should be eased back in.

O Pretty much sums up where I am.

If we sign a decent CM and RB/RCB, even I might start getting carried away.

Centre backs with a pronounced right sided beer gut is a niche market. Expect to pay a premium.

We should be in the play offs. For the autos, a lot of things need to happen: - New signings click - New coaching staff gel - Defence learn from experience - Parachute teams underperform - Bit of luck But it might just happen….

I’m not surprised that we conceded more last season than we did in 22-23. The players and formation were different for the most part and don’t forget the average age was much lower. For me, the first test is for the team to show that the end of season collapse in form is totally out of the...

When I was a lot younger, I used to think our low point was the way we fell apart in ‘91-92 after a good start and only surviving by the skin of our teeth, almost incapable of scoring. Obviously I didn’t know I was born. But the slow motion shitshow which unfolded between late Richardson and...

No doubt Sporting would consider dropping below their self imposed minimum valuation. The gap between this valuation and what they paid was so large that unless Vik had a storming start, they’d always have had to consider dropping the valuation if they wanted to cash in. Sounds like they’ve done...

Think you’re right that there’s bound to be add ons tho if we only paid €1m.

CET Quoted £3-4 m in a report in Jan

Great signing. Got to love how much he seems to want to play for us. No need to write Kitching off. They’ll keep each other honest. Pretty sure Kitching has played at LB in his past. Not saying he’d be perfect there but it’s another potential rotation option.

Great signing. He’s got loads of potential and it’s always been clear that he loves being at the club!

That equates to about €1m. Bargain if true.

Love France and the French. Can have a great laugh with them. Met many from all over that country. But my worst experiences eating, drinking, buying things and dealing with officials have all happened in France.

Even if we didn’t let anyone in the country from tomorrow our infrastructure is not fit for purpose and is holding us back.

HS2 has turned into a gashy mess. Northern bits axed and the main termini of HS1 & HS2 located miles apart. On top of poor messaging all the way through its like how you’d do it if you wanted it to fail. Like saying “Here’s a dirty great big white elephant shit thing that we did - all those...

Is your man Steve McLaren? Might explain the slightly Dutch sounding pronunciation of Godden.

One problem with Binks is that while last year, he was a potential hidden gem, half the world has now seen his cameo against Man U. He’s been clear that he wants to leave Italy so Bologna will not want an asset tied up and not performing so I guess they’ll sell ultimately but they probably want...
