I reckon 4-4-2 today

.......looks like he could be some player!! I have seen some of the training clips and he looks very cultured. Great first touch, awareness and finishing. Jim O'Brien said he thought Maddison was the squad's "Most talented player" and coming from an ex-Celtic and Scotland international...

SISU need to go to compass who at the minute have no match day revenues and say something like: "We want to come back to the ricoh, but we want all CCFC match day revenues. If we can agree a rent deal to return, we will pay you £X for the rights to the match day revenues, that way you get some...

Is this a potential solution? The trouble is a the moment both sides are saying what they wouldn't find acceptable. It is time for them to say what they would be prepared to accept. SISU don't want to pay the going rate and the council won't sell the freehold, we know this. Both sides need to...

Thomas' main strength (that goes under most people's radar) is his anticipation, he is at nearly every second ball for 90 minutes....

Pressley I think will have this as a skeleton: ---------------Allsop------------ Clarke---Webster---Reda-----?-- O'Brien--Thomas---Fleck--Swanson -------------?--------?------------- If we had a game tomorrow, based on what I know, I'd go: --------------Allsop--------------...

Anyone notice, when you read stories about discovering players, or good advice in retaining youth players (Bigi, Wilson etc) it seems to frequently revolve around the opinions of Ray Gooding? !!! Where is he now? Could do with him.....

So here's the squad as it stands... Allsop Burge Clarke Phillips Seabourne Willis Webster Finch Johnson Haynes Baker Swanson Thomas Fleck Barton Coulibaly O'Brien Lawton Daniels No strikers yet. Looking at this and what Pressley says, we are after three strikers...

Ok, back to the original topic..... Looks like we are signing Swanson and Pressley says we need taller players in the same sentence as saying he has asked several players to move on. Who next? Clarke? Phillips? Daniels? Barton?

I am being negative? How?!

Pressley officially promoted the following to the first team squad for this season: Finch (who used to be centre mid, but is now considered a centre half), Haynes Lawton. I was being generous adding George Thomas, as Pressley didn't mention him in that regard. Maddison and Urquart I assume...

Looking at this it is clear why Pressley needs 9 new players.... :thinking about:

So, day one back at ryton on Friday will be: GK: Burge Defenders: Phillips Clarke Willis Webster Seabourne Haynes Finch Midfielders: Baker C. Thomas Fleck Daniels Barton Lawton Strikers: Wilson G. Thomas I suspect Barton will be off at some point, if so, that leaves us with a nucleus...

Yessssssssss, get in a corner

So if Burge doean't get 15 games in the three years, he can trigger a release clause? If his deal is three years he can do what he likes! Must be per season....

My prediction is, the following will leave: Murphy (wages to high to renew) Christie (wants to move) Adams (bomb squad) Moussa (wants to leave) Barton (bomb squad) Wilson (SISU will sell for around £1.5m) None of our current loan players will be offered contracts I expect Haynes...

Would be 15 games a season surely? Wouldn't make sense otherwise. If true, I think Murphy is going and a cheaper keeper will come in as competition for Burge

I think he should, but Pressley in his post match interview was very guarded about a contract for Marshall. I assume if he had a better budget he would almost certainly be getting a deal. He is very keen, enthusiastic and committed. He has also been effective and got a few assists. I would...

Our biggest problem is that no decent players want to come to us. Clueless owners, always losing our best players playing at Sixfields etc. Even if we sold Callum for 3m and could spend it, who would actually want to come? You wouldn't get any quality players with ambition in our situation!

If Joy had a time machine I wonder if she'd still sanction the bargain basement Dann, Fox, Turner moves and also not buying Henderson and Carroll (as Ranson alleged)
