    Transfer Shouts

    Well that's a good question and I have no idea. But we spent a fee on Hamer, have invested in Sheaf, Gyokeres as well, so we are prepared to pay a fee for someone who we see can become a future asset. So I wouldn't want us to go out and then pay several million on one player but try and pick up...

    Transfer Shouts

    I think selling one of our assets for mega money and being able to then sign several high quality players with the funds would leave us in a much stronger position than if we kept all 3 and had a far reduced budget to bring in lower calibre players. We are in a win win situation, we either...

    Transfer Shouts

    Well they may we be done or have been done for a little while just not announced because we have only just entered June and people are away on holiday. I'm sure in the next week or so we will start seeing announcements.

    Transfer Shouts

    I'd say as likely as we are to signing all the players we get tenuously linked with. I would personally be incredibly surprised if all 3 were sold in one summer window.

    New Kit !

    Love it, think it is the best one they have done yet. Love the links with the cathedral, think the central badge is different and looks amazing. Great job!

    Transfer Shouts

    Yeah I think that's pretty fair, I agree that most of the early business we do I would imagine would be permanent signings and then later in the window we will add a loan or two on top. Like we have the last few summers. 2 years ago, Ostigard was announced 27th August and Sheaf on 4th September...

    Robins on EFL Podcast

    I think Styles could definitely be target. Robins absolutely raved about him on CWR after we beat them at the CBS, so much so I literally thought at the time we might want him. He does press and is very energetic so would fit how we play.

    Retained list

    Sad about Jones but think it is the right decision. Been here for a long time, had the most ill fortune with Injuries but has worked so hard to get back fit for a 3rd time after many had wrote him off. His passion for us and workrate can't be questioned. Wish him absolutely nothing but the...

    Transfer Shouts

    Well yes exactly 100% And obviously if/when our top assets move on we have to makesure we do the same aswell. Exciting summer I think and lots of reasons to be optimistic. Robins signing a new deal the most important thing!

    Transfer Shouts

    Yeah he seems to have the right sense to make stepping stone moves in his career and ensure he plays regularly. A friend of mines Dad is on the board at MK so spoke to him a lot about their star players, Twine being one. Their price for him was £2m in January but probably gone up from his...

    5 years today Mark robins took over

    When he came back, I don't think many of us would have thought that 5 years later we would be fuming and gutted that a defeat has dented our Championship play off hopes. Its been an incredible journey and so long as he is at the helm I'll be confident we will continue to improve. He is by far...

    Ratings thread

    Tavares may or may not ultimately be good enough. I'm glad he got some minutes yesterday, Waghorn looked very slow and lethargic and at the very least Tamara's did bring some pace and energy which we had been sorely lacking. His record for the u23s for me warrants an opportunity, like Biamou...

    Martyn Waghorn

    I think Waghorn adds something, (not in terms of scoring goals) but he fits into how we build up our attacks. He also clearly has a good partnership with Vik aswell. If Waghorn had scored one of those chances yesterday he'd have been a hero, sadly he didn't and we have gone out. But kthe last 4...

    Hilsner Loaned Out!

    Great to have been able to get him out as well. Genuinely think this window has far exceeded expectations, shifting on a lot of the dead wood and bringing in a experienced, proven Champ player on a perm. Like everyone else a CAM would make it probably a perfect window, but very happy with what...

    Transfer Rumour Jake Bidwell - Confirmed

    Would be absolutely buzzing with this signing. Exactly what we need; very quick, very strong and has ability to get assists too. Thought he was outstanding against us when we played Swansea earlier this season. Got the better of Dabo defensively and offensively every single time, and remember...

    Reality check

    It is great that we are in a position this season that our 'dissappintment' of losing to Preston on Tuesday night is because we missed an opportunity to go up to 3rd place and build a 6 point gap to those teams outside the playoffs as opposed to being disappointed that another game goes by as we...

    Knee jerk

    Well ironically our only away win this season came when we played the Box formation with Vik up top on his own. So maybe that would be more suited when we are away.

    Near post article

    So I was asked by Near Post to write some key points on and off the pitch that have been different this season compared to last and hopefully I managed to cover a few. They were dealing with the stats part but I was focusing on the aspects that have led to this marked improvement. Appreciate...

    Never change a winning side

    Allen and Hamer have been fantastic when they have been our midfield (apart from Luton) they both bring a much energy to the side, and my slight concern was whether with Sheaf and Kelly would we miss that dynamism and energy. But it showed that we may lose some Flair but we gained a lot of...

    Transfer Rumour Where will Max Biamou end up?

    I don't think it's anything to do with clubs not wanting him. He could do a very good job in L2 and even in L1 for someone. Maybe he isn't bothered, maybe he is spending time with family etc, and will get a team down the line.
