Could be a quiet few weeks then on the transfer front. Rumours are that the domestic transfer window won't open until the end of July.

On the flipside though, I think we're going to be more susceptible in pre-season to pick up niggles and potentially one or two more serious injuries.

In no way does not playing for four months put us at any kind of advantage against other teams in the Championship that currently are. It isn't even an argument.

Frustrating when you lose out on a player, especially one as talented as O'Hare, but little can be done if he's been offered a 'better' contract elsewhere. I'm sure Badlan probably has a few alternatives lined up just in case we did miss out on his signature.

Not sure Adi directly coached him but they would've been at Chelsea at roughly the same time.

Kastaneer doesn't learn English. English learn Kastaneer.

See BD's post.

No not at all. Perhaps Robins was the only manager to date to get a tune out of him but I'm more inclined to think we just got lucky with Bright. That's the only thing I can think of to why Badlan brought Kasta in. It's certainly one of those that will be up there as one of our strangest...

Which baffles to me why Robins agreed to sign him as attitude-wise he's everything he hates. I'd love to know what went so wrong as Badlan was scouting him for around 6-7 years prior to his arrival at the club and I just can't fathom how someone who's clearly excellent at his job can be so...

I think fundamentally, he's a twat.

A lot of players such as Forrestieri will probably have to take a hit on their salaries as the attitudes of football clubs to finances - certainly in the EFL anyway (for most clubs) - will inevitably change this season. Hence why I recommended Hutchinson. Might've earned around £20K a week a SW...

Fantastic player, but he was on £25K a week at SW.

Agreed, but I genuinely can't imagine who would take him on though.

Didn't Portsmouth put a ridiculous price tag on Curtis during the Jan transfer window? Something in the region of around £3M I think it was.

Sam Hutchinson is an interesting one. Quite injury prone but experienced at Champ level, a good player and very versatile.

Given the current economic crisis, I think this season especially will be a great opportunity for MR, AV and LT to once again bolster our U23's with unwanted talent. Young players entering this period without a club must be vying for a contract so hopefully we can capitalise on this and continue...

Next season is going to be difficult enough without lumping L1's best RB into a random position. Would you cut off your foot to see if you walk better with a stump?

Given that we'll have one of, if not the smallest budgets in the league, it's hardly being stupid or negative. It's being realistic.

My thinking exactly. "Congratulations on signing for CCFC - here's where you could've been playing!"

If DaCosta can cover both RB and LB, I can see Mason being loaned out next season and another LB drafted in. Showed promise at the start of the season but after he lost his spot to McCallum he was never the same.
