Any more news on Mitchy Ntelo? It’s coming up to eight weeks since we were first linked with him and it’s all gone very quiet, not that there was much noise to begin with. I need someone like Saddlebrains to give me some hope that it might actually happen, even if it’s just made up 😆

👍

I think he would be an excellent signing but I suspect that, even if we went in for him, other clubs would outbid us on wages and signing-on fee.

The thought of EMC coming on after 60 minutes against a tiring defence is mouth-watering.

That’s often the case with talented and ambitious people.

I don’t disagree because unless you have the midfield of a World Cup winning team - and possibly not even then - there is always room for improvement. What I said was that our second string midfield “isn’t bad” and I stand by that. It is a sign of how far we have come that, even with some...

I respect your right to talk complete tosh. 🙂

I reckon a second string midfield three of Eccles, Rudoni and Palmer with Allen and even Lati as cover isn't bad and certainly good enough for us to beat Stoke, albeit probably only by three goals rather than the expected five 🙂 I agree that we desperately need another striker.

I agree. When Tatsu was injured there were initial concerns that he may never walk again, never mind play professional football. He does seem to be on track to make a full physical recovery but it remains to be seen how he will be mentally. There will be some teams who will try and rough him...

Oh well. Shame, he looked good. At least he would be cheap at that age 😊

I tend to agree. His development has been held back by injury. It’s too early to give up on him yet.

Looks to have some raw talent. Worth a gamble I think. Who’s the bearded number 14 who creates the first goal in the clip? Based just on that - which I appreciate isn’t much - he looks useful.

Excellent! Sources and rumours are the lifeblood of this forum 👍

We absolutely need another striker. We’re in trouble if Simms or Wright gets injured and in a right mess if they are both out. Another CM would be nice, as would another centre back, but I don’t see them as essential. I would like to see an upgrade at LB.

I’m happy with Sheaf as captain. He’s a calm, lead by example, skipper in the mould of Bobby Moore not that many on here will remember him 😊 I’m sure he commands the respect of the other players.

Pessimist.

It’s not really an advantage unless you want him to handle the ball a lot 😊 If only he was ambipedal, that would be useful 👍

Ooh, just seen the official announcement by the club a few minutes ago. 😊 I love the video clips of him pushing the penalty spot wide of the posts. Looks a good buy.

Yes, Andy Turner. That’s what worries me. I want photographs from our man in the hedge.

I wish this deal could be confirmed. If it isn’t done by Monday I will be thinking that it’s going the same way as Stamenic. Dovin was 21 when we started negotiating and he’s 22 now. 😳
