They are being filed end of May as per government guidelines and nothing to suggest otherwise. Unlike some clubs we have always paid our players wages.

Well I don’t see why we’d leave it any longer to file anyway - Luton I noticed submitted on the 11th i don’t see why clubs will wait until the very last day. Derby is interesting as companies house clearly states no submission at all in 2020 which seems a blatant breach on embargo rules

But Grendel we are dealing with Joy Sepalla and sisu who have history for not submitting accounts absolutely no excuse for not submitting these accounts
I don’t trust them, never will.

I've banged this drum a few times already in the past couple months, but I'd love for us to go for Liam Delap on loan from City. He's the perfect fit for what we need and young. Think he'd do a great job, although I'm sure theres many clubs interested.
Couple of New Zealand journalists on Twitter saying that we put an offer in for a 19 year old striker playing for Wellington called Ben Waine. Offer seems to have been rejected and he’s signed a new 3 year deal with Wellington. Interesting if we are now moving our scouting outside of Europe.

Leaving the EU means it’s easier to secure players outside of EU I believe.

They are saying they can get big money for him now. The record transfer out of Australias league is to China for £1m. 3 out the top 5 transfers out were all to china.

According to the article he has a British passport so would've qualified automatically.
Very interesting to see how wide we're casting our net.

Glad to see we didn't sign some random striker from a farmers league, we need to be aiming higher.

Why don't you want him?
Is it because you think it was random without watching him play? Or is it because he plays in NZ?
I doubt the first and the second is no reason at all.

We can’t even get it right in Europe never mind Oceania

Would rather we sign a proven goalscorer.

Can’t get it right in the U.K. either: Ogogo, Brown, Chaplin, etc.
Let’s just stop signing players.

The A League is on BT Sport now. I've watched a few games and the standard is pretty mixed although the games are usually pretty entertaining. A few very good players (mainly older players who've had careers at a decent level in Europe) mixed in with League 2 quality I'd say. No reason there wouldn't be some gems there for us.

Who would you suggest as an alternative?

Is it a case that we have just subscribed to scouting software so our data analysts have pulled numbers from down under? More likely that than we have a bloke working out there.

Harry Kane is available tbf. Joy don't want it though.

He's got decent pedigree. He's scored a load for New Zealand at international. I'd imagine if we were linked to Dike before Barnsley signed him, a lot of people on this forum would have written him off due to previous international signings. They'd rather we sign Collins or Gnanduillet.

But what position does he play? First five-eighth, openside, outside centre?
