Forest paid 1.25 million for him. I would imagine they want their money back. Adi and Lawrence can improve him even further. Looked as if he was enjoying himself last season even when he was out of the team. Would take him on a permanent and £1.5 million would be about right. Depends if the...
Leeds are the only team of the three relegated that have a manager with a proven track record in this division. Leicester's manager failed in his previous managerial job and Southampton's manager has never won promotion from any league despite playing attractive football. Logic dictates the...
Think with the Vik sale we have been able to follow a policy of buying and developing rather than loaning players, developing them and seeing them go on to better things (see Maatsen). McNally is a case in point. Appears we wanted to buy him and was quoted a daft figure. Burnley feel he has...
Did we nick him, or was it Leicester cutting their wages with relegation? Just wondering. Without any inside knowledge, I would be surprised if Shea didn't have a major input.
Going to take a while to gel with so many new players. Can Fadz and Wilson have great seasons again? Are our new defenders as good as the ones we have lost? If we lose Gus, it will be more difficult. Will O'Hare come back firing? Can the new strikers do the business? I'm going for playoffs...
Write Fadz off at your peril. No one goes on forever and the staff will know when its time to leave him out. We are building a squad and I think all players will get a rest at some point. MR likes to give players a rest when they return from International duty and we are signing quite a few...
After the Stoke game at home last year, I thought they were certs for promotion this year. For the rest of the season they were great away and shit at home. Also, most of their best players were loans. Their manager got Sunderland promoted from L1 when loads had failed. Am I right in thinking...
I started a thread a good while ago asking if we thought we could compete with Rangers for players. The general consensus was no as they were so much bigger than us. SISU were in charge at the time so probably accurate and we had not sold Vik for £20 million. How quickly times have changed if it...
Think Gus will go. I personally think on his day he is the best midfielder in the Championship, and unfortunately, it will be very difficult to keep him. Need to get the best deal possible. Would love McNally back, don't know anything about Thomas.
I would say on form an upgrade on Moore who seemed to lose the plot after a great first season. We need continuous improvement in every position and his signing makes us stronger. Wilson's shirt to lose. Can he save pens?
Sad that Doyle went to Leicester. Be interesting if Simms plays on his side. Does anyone know Leicester's current back 4 or 5 because it may be Doyle may not get a game?
There is clearly a lot of negative bullshit being written on here. However, the players that go to Portugal need to bond and we need numbers through the door by then. If that does not happen, then I for one will start to worry. I accept loans may be delayed but, we need bodies ready to go, as...
Only dip in and out in close season. I know some of you look at peoples predictions and if they are right. Is GIMOC for real or just another WUM. Anyone know if he has been right in the past? The City has seemed a tight ship information wise for a while and MR has been very complimentary about...
