    Transfer Rumour Matty James

    Now all over X. Our entitled fanbase will have their pitchforks out if James doesn’t sign. Forget the 40m spent over the past 18 months, the attempts to bring in a big CM signing in over the summer, the rejected bids of our top players, the improvements behind the scenes /infrastructure and the...

    Transfer Rumour Matty James

    I dont doubt the gist of saddles post but things have maybe been presented in a certain way. As you say, Browne was stepping outside ‘the model’ and I’ve already posted about ‘aversion to loans’, we had two last year that didn’t play regularly and tried to sign another one this summer. Parent...

    Transfer Rumour Matty James

    Im sure it’s far easier to secure loans of young players when there’s a likelihood of them starting most games. We now have a lot more strength in depth and most fans acknowledged any additional players signed were likely back ups Last season we had ayari who was lightweight and got sent back...

    Robins

    He’s an important player though and the 45m has been spent trying to rebuild a whole squad. The best players will still always be missed. We were very lucky Gyokeres was hardly out during our run to the play offs in the second half of 22/23 season, same with Hamer. Either probably would’ve...

    Robins

    I don’t look at it quite like that. He’s probably worth 10m now, more without injury problems and he’s our captain. That’s the player we’re missing, not the lad we signed 4 years ago. Take a 10m player out if most championship teams and apart from the ex Prems they’re likely to notice I still...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I don’t disagree. I was just saying I don’t think it will material impact the growth numbers…although will obviously suck a little bit out of economy Also agree about people accelerating sales due to concerns about CGT, I was talking about people sitting tight in terms of investment/growth...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I think that chats now out of date. Not pretty but not as pronounced. Gap was also due to narrow further with Europe this year as our growth has been higher than anticipated Agree that the winter fuel allowance changes won’t change things at all. The government do need to be careful not to...

    Wow ! Amazing ! There’s a company that’s buying up loads. Queen recently got paid £1Bn 😳

    Oasis Reunion

    Yeah, let’s be honest the whole thing is a bit of a money grab. I was reading yesterday that Noel gets full ownership of the music rights next year so getting interest built, streams up etc is perfect timing for a sale to a royalty company That being said, still can’t wait 🤷‍♂️ Theyd do well...

    Rudoni …?

    Technically very good. Agree with others about where he’s currently playing. I think it was in the pre season where he was the one picking it up off the defenders and dictating play and he looked good doing it. Would personally have had Torp the furthest forward of Rudoni, Eccles and Torp. Like...

    ITK’s

    It’s been poor but I’m talking about people throwing our stats to suit their position/negative agenda We’ve also had Saddle saying Eccles was ranting at the bench and wanted to be subbed off yesterday and GIMOC saying sheafs out for six weeks (when hopefully he’ll miss one game) over the past...

    Or three wins in six league and cup this season. Depends how you want to look at stuff

    Did anyone see Eccles

    Rudoni and Torp can and should be doing them though. I think it was Torp who put simms through in the first half with a great ball.

    Did anyone see Eccles

    Exactly this, it’s the set up. We keep getting overrun in midfield. Eccles had a great first half and Torp was also very good. I reckon Norwich changed something at half time and the two of them were pinned back by a far better press and had to do more and more defensive work. It fits peoples...

    Victor Torp

    First half was the best he’s played this season. Looks to be lacking in confidence as last season he’d have had more digs when given a sniff. Tired during the second half but him and Eccles where having to cover a load of ground due to how we were set up.

    The no loans strategy

    Agreed. Strange as we had some early success getting the ball behind them and then stopped for some reason. Mentioned earlier if we’re going to get the best out of our attackers we need to get down the channels quicker and use their pace/power In terms of loans it’s been alluded to elsewhere...

    Summer transfer window 2024

    He wasn’t happy, it sounded like agents maybe scuppered a deal or two. He also mentioned palmer and his agent agitating for move and his performance against Oxford suggested he was tapped up before game.
