I know exactly what you mean! For me Rudi is Torp's backup but it won't work like that!

We have Torp and Rudi who can both be used further forward now and give each other rest and competition. I think it could be a really great loan for us. We can also now give Grimes a bit of a breather sometimes!

He rotated but played long minutes when he was on, I think. The tournament overall could have been fairly demanding, so that all seems good but players do lose match sharpness pretty quickly.

We'll see what he's like for ourselves soon enough, let's hope he's fit and ready to go.

Average age about 7 or 8 judging by some of the comment and behaviour here ;)

The list is too long just to brush them off as personal mistakes though. They come from being overstretched in the middle of the park and playing too high a line. There was good reason that playing two wingers went out of fashion as pitches became much better and I think we are seeing the...

We have to stop this playing 3 up top and leaving the mf bare away from home nonsense. Our CBs are incapable of playing such a high line, to be fair, few in the Championship are. 5 at the back, sacrifice the wingers etc and inject some pace and passing into our buildup play. What I do know is...

One person's "in talks" is another's "we made a vague approach 6 months ago and it's been dead since" and everything in between.

Wage demands almost certainly. His agent nearly pushed SU too far apparently! That's the problem with "frees", the fee gets absorbed into wages and bonuses, which will appear differently in the accounts but also cause a major headache with the current playing staff.

Partly because we're low payers so they often have to be persuaded.

A top quality, starting leftback is my dream this week.

If someone moves on, Bidders maybe. If anything happens it will have been lined up for a while.

I've always believed that we wouldn't be making any major signings unless somebody leaves, just as with Sheaf and Woolfie. That might still happen around the edges in the last week of the window. It's been pretty clear for months that King isn't going to be putting in millions of fresh...

Pointing out that someone hasn't scored for whatever reason in not that same as calling them all names under the sun. Let's not forget that he was injured for some of that period that you're conflating and his wife also had a baby. Maybe King doesn't want to pay him the going rate! As fans we...

That should embarrass a few here!
