Wasn't it 10 open league goals from open play? They certainly overspent, but once again, as a player he can't control the fee that's spent on him. I'm not saying he shouldn't have done better last season that's undeniable, and I've already pointed to his drop off in form at the back end of the...

He can't control that. It's bizarre that's the point you're pushing. His numbers last season also aren't really that awful and you can't just discount pens to suit your argument. The season prior in the Championship he scored 13 goals in open play.

I think that's a bit naive really. The pressure that kind of fee would've placed on him would've been extortionately heavy, especially at a relatively young age. I can't be bothered to corroborate your first point, I'm almost certainly sure it's wrong though. Granted I wouldn't say he had an...

Stansfield is a decent enough option to be honest. Had a reasonable season last time round in the Champ playing in what was a pretty poor side.

Agreed. Doesn't help it'll be a period where a lot of families will inevitably be away. Like the idea of offering a double match package as edgy suggested. I think last year vs Everton was £15 for an adult ticket. Two for £25 would represent good value.

Good to get a couple of home friendlies. Should generate a nice bit of income for the club. Would be good to get around 20k at both.

No as we're in a new PSR cycle now and the huge losses they incurred in 22/23 are no longer counted. Also with the move to their new stadium they're likely to benefit from an increase in commercial and ticketing revenue.

I think I have. I'd imagine he'll be loaned out though at some point.

Few words really. Devastating for his family.

In all fairness the Swansea link looks genuine. The rest will be completely made up though.

The entire defence last season didn't perform as a collective well enough to be honest. Some were inevitably worse than others but none particularly shone themselves in a great light. MVE for instance was a serial offender but people weirdly don't seem to want to have that conversation.

EMC had a very stop start season last season but we saw glimpses of what he's capable of. With a full pre-season under his belt under the current coaching set up I wouldn't be shocked if he hits double figures in goals and assists respectively next season.

We need to certainly have more competition at CB. Lati is far too slow to play in a high line and Binks isn't good enough defensively.

There's not really a lot in it defensively between the two really. Both have had suspect moments. Thomas is a lot better in the air though and wins more aerial duels. Personally I think against teams which play long Kitching is a serious weak link. Thomas is also a goal threat which offers us...

Kitching is fine for this level but people do vastly overrate him. He's slow, regularly overcommits himself, and isn't brilliant at tracking opposition. We need someone far more assured starting if we're going to stop conceding silly goals as a collective back line.
