On the footballing side of things, one said hamer is the best midfielder he's seen this season too

 

[itsabuzzard]

After an all-conquering pre-season, you just knew it was too good to be true, and sure enough we hit the ground face-first. The transformation over the past few weeks has been phenomenal, and at times I could barely hear Clive and Oggy on the tranny today, such was the wall of noise created by the Sky Blue faithful. Superb. Grinning like a Cheshire cat. Can it get any better? What awaits in December?

MR not nominated for October manager of the month, hopefully there won't be one for November as it's only half a month.

QPR didn’t worry me once in that game. That’s unusual, there’s normally a chance or a period in the game where I’m thinking the other team should’ve got back into it. Were we that good or were they just toothless?

Good seeing you back mate, you had a few of us quite worried.

Thanks. As Gary Glitter said, it's good to be back.

Watford are the omly team that have really troubled us since Blackpool.

And that was down to one player with pace

Amended for you

In our 4 game winning run, the opposition have had a total of 5 shots on target

 

[SIR ERNIE]

They don’t think in those terms. A big offer and they’re gone.

Historically yes but this is different, a completely different situation to anything before. The quality, the performances, results, momentum, support are like nothing experienced in a generation.

It's a huge opportunity for owners of a championship club.

Will our owners recognise it.

 

[skyblu3sk]

Still buzzing this morning. Anyone who comes in to the team seems to slot in to place and know their role. What I'm most impressed with is just how little threat we let them have.

 

[Jamesimus]

Will our owners recognise it.

No

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Brilliant link up between the 'Big Three". Lovely work, cool finish. Fkin hope we keep them.

We can throw Palmer into that mix as well. Our forward line are match for anyone.

Have they actually got a thread about us? Pillocks.

 

[Covkid1968#]

we do live rent-free in their heads, don't we ?? hahahhahha

Some surprisingly nice comments but then you get ‘die Coventry, just die’ it’s a strange obsession

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I’ve got nothing against them at all. Usually great people up there and completely football obsessed. So it’s a shame some on both sides have bought into a ‘rivalry’ that isn’t really one

 

[CDK]

No

My view as well,a sensible board would at least would resist selling anybody and let the manager sign a couple of players to achieve the ambition of robins.
Dave boddy seems to have drifted back to former years high S.T sales with even less budget for a manager.He is sisu in a smooth suit,disgusted I am.

 

[NorthernWisdom]

£5m at the very least. If we sell Vik we’d need to spend big to replace him. Where would you even start?

You don't try, you accept you need 2-3 players, atleast,to strengthen the team / squad as a whole, rather than finding a like-for-like.

Who is a like for like with Gyokeres?

Also to keep in mind Brighton will effectively take 15% of the fee

 

[NorthernWisdom]

Well... exactly

Will they? I don't think the deal's ever been made public, has it?

Just what I heard on the Brighton grapevine-15% of profit made.

Well we wait and see. It's all undisclosed, innit.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

We will indeed. Though it would fit with us agreeing to that in exchange for them accepting a lower bid.

 

[PVA]

Gyokeres, Hamer, O'Hare and Sheaf cost a combined ~£3m so IF Robins gets a chunk of any Gyokeres sale to spend I'm confident he'll make some good additions to the squad.

The problem would be trying to find a powerful goal scoring number 9 in January. They come at a premium anyway, never mind in that particular window.

The lad from Reading Lucas Jaoa?

Be very expensive you’d think

Turns 30 next year. Looking around Europe, Sydney van Hooijdonk looks interesting. On loan at Heerenveen again from Bologna, plays in a similar style to Gyo and decent goal scoring numbers. Bologna got him for free a few years ago and I think were willing to sell in the summer.

If he is as good as his dad was, would be a super signing. and will know about the area.

Forest apparently wanted him when he was available on a free but he didn’t get enough points under the Brexit rules. He’d get them now though
