    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    And we tried to sign Schlupp who is 32 …. Not sure how old Rob Holding is.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    A very odd take on MVE and the latter part of Da Silvas season.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    I think naturally being comfortable with the ball at your feet is a requirement for a modern Defender who needs to be able to play out from the back. When you put a left footer on the right side you start to undermine your ability to play out to the full backs as they always look to play...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Don’t come on here with logical answers like that …. Fans want work rate and aggression combined with slow turning circles and errant passing …

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    It is a disaster. You don’t fund an academy for them to go on a free to another lower club. You fund it to create a pipeline of talent into your first team, some of which you keep some you sell for a fee.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    WBA in financial difficulty. New owner has not put the money in promised. High earners are being encouraged to leave the club. Palmer sold in January against managers wishes.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    The system is broken. Academies always worked on the basis that if you found 1 or 2 players that per group who became pro you had done well. Then every couple of years you produce 1 that makes your first team squad, and then every 5 years you find an absolute banger who plays for the first team...

    Here We Go Again - Doug King's Latest Pricing Shambles

    Of course the logical thing to do would be to base your pricing on demand … ie lots of demand now so don’t reduce and if demand reduces then reduce pricing … the problem is that you need young fabs already hooked if you want them to turn up in the darker days …. my sons rarely miss matches now...

    Here We Go Again - Doug King's Latest Pricing Shambles

    Having the right pricing for kids is important to me not at a personal level but for the future of the support base. I would have discounted season tickets with a cap on the total number available for non adult, and similar for a match day. Many clubs have waiting lists for season tickets and...

    Retained List

    You are right but it’s that side of Warwickshire which borders Leicestershire and that isn’t the west of the midlands …. Define it as you will

    Retained List

    A lot of Cov fans can’t abide King so god knows how they would cope with non communicative foreign owners …. I think it’s routed in jealousy personally. It’s an East Midlands thing. I had no idea everywhere wasn’t like it until I moved out of the area ….

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    I can guarantee you have not watched him play much in the last 2 years… no one has. Long term injuries ca make a huge difference to a player …. Exhibit number 1 … Fankaty Dabo I’m not saying he would be poor as I’ve not seen enough of him to know how well he is now playing but it’s too early...

    No he isn’t …. But I agree entirely with you

    I can’t believe Pompey will be spending £4m + on any striker let alone Simms

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    I don’t know about that look at the Newcastle midfield, or Declan Rice for Arsenal for example …. They certainly still exist but I agree there tend to be less of them ….
