I’m not sure I buy the “turnstile malfunction” line as I’ve heard it for all the other games with paper tickets. Genuinely think it’s user error in 90+% of cases which is due to the paper tickets.

The talk in early January was a new contract with €150m buyout. The fact it’s not a done deal tells me he’s probably leaving for €100m in the summer.

No, player registration window has closed until the summer.

This is the thing: people spending in the casino/Dhillons/wherever could be spending that money in the stadium instead. Granted, there’s the disconnect between club and stadium but from a pure business perspective it’s in the stadium’s interests to get people in as soon as possible and keep them...

It’s 100% the manual tickets that are the issue. Every game this season which has seen issue has been when paper tickets have been in circulation en masse. Middlesbrough first game, Oxford cup and now last night. Added to the fact it was raining so I would assume people wouldn’t get their...

That’s about where I am on it. Those on about multiple mad expensive loans are a bit wide of the mark in my view, I’d have taken a chance on a couple to build out the squad but not at significant expense. However, I remember arguing the same point last January with an attacking mid and look how...

“Oh bloody hell we left it that late we’ve been able to process the transfer but not the loan back. Ah well, better luck next time”.

Dann and Fox?

Assuming this actually goes ahead, I’m with others in not understanding why we haven’t added a loan to almost ‘backfill’ the fact we’re having to wait.

Bugbear of mine - saying the most basic of stats and trying to crowbar an opinion onto them. Listened to NTT20 podcast for the first time recently and their statistical analysis is far more insightful.

Genuinely how many of our side then would get into the team we have now? Shows how much football’s moved on, Dann had an easy pass back to the keeper for Drogba’s goal.

That’s what I mean. We’re saving on maybe two stewards’ wages. That’d likely be covered by about 5 adult tickets.

What operational cost savings are there by doing this, though?

Was he honestly £750k? That’s a right steal. Considering we’d been linked with him previously I’m surprised we didn’t make a move, although I suppose at the time we weren’t playing with wingers.

Had forgotten all about it and assumed we were down and out. Look to be in a decent position.

Considering the wide players both want to come inside, Palmer as a false 9 may not be the worst shout in the world.

Was a massive fan of his signing in the summer and seemed to have a very strong pre-season. Since the season began, though, it’s clear he lacks the aggression to be a proper goal scoring target man. That’s just a mentality thing which can be solved. Of more concern is the lack of understanding...

Separate Q - if Robins was to leave, who do you think would be up to replacing him? No points for anyone who says Kenny Jackett.

I’m still surprised we haven’t got a loan ‘winger’ in. I get waiting for the right player but the closer we get to the deadline the more chance we’ll be scrabbling round.
