One in, one out for strikers imo. We lacking forward players that play out wide or AM. This Belgian striker, for example, plays LW/RW/ST which strikes me as a great role player because of his versatility.

100% because plenty of clubs have a similar scheme and many of them use ticketmaster. The person tried to be helpful but they had no idea what they were talking about. They may have even got the wrong seasons that are in scope for the loyalty point program. Separate point: is anyone else...

It’s fanciful thinking. MVE has been a top player for us but at 2 years left on his contract, it’s probably the right window to sell up because he will not sign a new contract unless we get promoted. I’m pretty sure @Saddlebrains said something along the lines that if we sign KKH, MVE will be...

Generally quite impressive, without a doubt a top end attacking fullback in this league. Had a higher xA than Sakamoto and EMC. Low-ish cross success. However, his dribbling stats are bad. 35.2% dribbling success rate is low for a RB and 27 times he’s been dispossessed is up there too. KKH had...

Exactly. This was an important move for his career and coming off 2-3 seasons in the Championship and squad role would be a backwards step for him. We need more goals from the wing, not less. MVE isn’t a RW.

@Sky Blue Pete I’d like the club to clarify the ‘Cup Ticket Scheme’. Is this an option for STH to automatically purchase home cup game tickets. I phoned the ticket office and they had no idea and were under the impression it couldn’t be done (it can, plenty of clubs do it) because of GDPR.

Don’t worry lads, I’ll ’add manager’ to the game and have a Saudi team offer £110m for Brad Collins.

No idea. Which scenario would be worse: 1) an ex/current Tory advisor dictating policy for a Labour government 2) Labour actually drafted these plans themselves Both scenarios are pretty damning and frankly, the government can’t claim to be in control. At least when Tony Blair put the Iraq...

Honestly, it’s unprecedented but after how many more U-turns before Starmer packs it in or is kicked out? A new leader and there’ll be calls for a new election. I didn’t vote for Labour but at least thought they could push through some meaningful reforms that could benefit the country. It’s a...

It’s not even one year in and the government is in a complete shambles. We’re going to be having an election a lot sooner than we think.

MVE is a Prem ready player and give KKH 2 years development and he could become a better player imo. KKH is already a better defender, even modest improvements in his attacking output and he becomes a top end RB in this league. It’s shrewd business and at some point we need to sell 1-2 players...

Wright is 100% considered the primary striker. I know nothing about this player we’ve been linked with, but he must be a similar profile to Haji as he’s split his game time between LW and ST mostly. On top of that, scored 4 in 5 playing RW. Seems like a standout player in the Belgian league...

Isn’t he more of a winger than a striker?

I understand the concept… The notion is just fanciful, frankly. Why would MVE or KKH want their minutes limited and/or relegated to bit part players? They wouldn’t. MVE is wanted by quite a lot of teams so the more likely reason we signed KKH is because we expect to sell MVE for a healthy...

Depth is needed, but we also need players in quite a few positions so spending £3.5+ mil on a squad/rotational player just seems daft. If it was a free transfer or cheaper £1-2m signing, perhaps it’d be a more squad building signing. KKH is a ‘marquee’ signing for his position. He’s been...

Agreed that we need depth at RB because MVE more or less played every minute in the last 2 seasons. In relation to this signing, the transfer fee is too high for him to be a rotational player. He swept PNE’s award night and he’s statistically an identical player to MVE. Particularly when MVE...

The copioid epidemic. We need wingers to play RW/LW, not fullbacks. It’s a part and parcel that you sell players to manoeuvre in the transfer market at our level.

No one wants to get rid of MVE, he’s been a reliable player for us since he’s joined. It’s part and parcel that our selling point as a club is that we’ll develop players and won’t stand in the way of a player who can better themselves. With specific relation to MVE, if we can triple our money...

No, he’s v much a defender and we need attacking wide players. If Haji stays, he’ll be considered primarily as a striker, so we’ve only got 2 ‘out and out’ wingers.

Looking at his highlight reel at PNE, he looked comfortable cutting in from the left hand side. I do agree that it’s a bit of a stretch that he’ll be playing LB often for us. Pragmatically, we just bringing in a replacement for MVE early doors.
