Although true I would have preferred a proper like-for-like replacement. 😊

I quite agree. The midfield is just so ponderous and lacking any creativity. I honestly think that the Sky Blues would create more chances and score more goals than England.

Looking a bit thin now. 😂

I guess having Burrows, Doyle, Bidwell and Da Silva should mean we have enough cover at LB. 👍

I agree. He’s a decent player. I think his development is being held back by being used as cover in multiple positions, although that was useful to us with a thin squad. It may be that, with more strength in depth for the coming season, we can do without him but I don’t have a problem if he stays.

I once completed a questionnaire that was intended to predict your life expectancy. It forecast that I would die at the age of 32. There was something about it that made me think that it wasn't entirely accurate. It was probably the fact that I was in my early 50s at the time.

Godden has been a great player in helping us get up to the Championship, for which I will always be grateful. The truth is that we now have better options and his only future with us - if he has one - is as a squad player. It’s probably better for the club and him if he moves on but I will...

I have just looked at some YouTube footage of Ilay Camara and he certainly looks to be a promising young player that could provide cover/competition for MVE. That said, I do appreciate that a couple of minutes on highlights on YT don't give the whole picture. Someone once looked at my...

I think he's better than that but I'm not desperate to get him.

Terms apparently virtually agreed for him to go to Sheffield United, with just the stage payments for the transfer fee holding things up.

If Burnley pursue their interest in Camara then I think we will struggle to match the wages they can offer and they might be regarded as a better bet for promotion. It gives me no pleasure to say this, especially coming on top of the Stamenic saga, but we have to be realistic.

I would be happy to keep Palmer but I wouldn't be looking to give him a salary increase. It would be great to keep Sheaf but I doubt if we can match what others will pay him, so I suspect he will be off. It may not be the end of the world if we get a good price and spend it well.

They might show him the stats which prove that they nearly always beat us.

I think you mean "Chicken mixes with some excellent sauces".

Then you can rest contentedly with the thought that I was only joking and he's not coming to us.

If this happens quickly we could use our cut of the deal to gazump Nottingham Forest for Stamenic. 🙂

So did I. I was quite an old man back in those days! At least we made a profit on him, so it wasn't all bad.

We have real strength in depth.
