At only 20 it is possible for him to make a big leap forward very quickly. Furthermore, injuries and loss of form to those deemed to currently be ahead of him are likely to happen over the course of a season, when we are likely to need him to step in. Talk of a loan to League 1 seems a very...

Not sure, but judging from the comments on here it might have been Sick Boy.

On the face of it scheduling the Leeds match for next week seems pretty short sighted on our part. In not having a midweek game themselves Ipswich ought to be fresher than us in the cup game on the Saturday, as should QPR (who don't have a weekend game) the following midweek, in what otherwise...

He did and looked a decent enough prospect at the time. He was painfully slow though!

I hope we are not getting too far ahead of ourselves with this. I can imagine this news might alert a few other clubs to try and snatch him off us which would be hugely disappointing now we are all discussing him as if he has already signed.

Thanks I've googled it now. Seems very strange to me why anyone would be dumb enough to think he died in prison in the 80's when he had such a well publicised life after he left prison, let alone that this would then be used as a prime example of a common misconception :rolleyes: Anyway what...

No, I would say 'actively' blocking is jumping up in front of him as the keeper kicks the ball, not standing still in front of him. Dovin doesnt have to always kick the ball from right on the edge of the box! Dovin needs to get careful anyway, as he gets very borderline close to still holding...

Is it commonly known? I've never heard of it and still don't understand any relevance to Mandela. What is misremembered about him?

What is the Nelson Mandela Effect?

As long as the opposition player is outside the box and not trying to actively block I don't see yesterday's incident as being a foul. At the end of the day Dovin doesn't have to take every kick from the edge of his box. If he takes it 5 yards further back its going over the forwards head...

That's a bit of a warning sign in itself! My gut feeling on the vibes around this guy is that we should stay well clear of signing him.

Unless a signing is the nailed on right one for us I'd rather we don't make any permanent signings in this window, as I think there will be many more options of players to buy in the Summer. Loans are a different matter, but presuming we don't lose any of our better players I still wouldn't be...

In the last unseen video he looked pretty impressive. He wasn't bought to go straight into the 1st team so I don't see the problem with him developing slowly this season with a view to challenging for a 1st team place next season. We signed him because he is a cheap option with little downside...

I suspect Al Hammadi might eventually make a Championship striker but as we already have Bassette as a young forward we are looking to develop, there wouldn't seem much point into bringing another in much the same mould.

Not sure what the cost would be, but if it was something along the lines of the 2 Tone Museum, it might work if there was also a club shop and gift shop attached to it.

Think it was Swindon when Hoddle was a player manager, although I've got a feeling the same was said when he managed Wolves.

Yes, could incorporate an American style 'Hall of Fame' with new inductees every year. I'm a bit surprised there hasn't been something similar done in the UK by any other club, or even a generic one by the FA.

Absolutely no disrespect meant to those that will be attending the game and I really hope you get the result your support deserves, and of course you are correct that historically 1,000 travelling to Blackburn for a post xmas mid week is a reasonable turn out. However, our players have been...

Hope the optimists before me are right but I've got a bad feeling about this game. A January mid-week game at Blackburn in front of a paltry crowd and away following has me worried about the team's motivation, while Blackburn will be keen to put their defeat at Oxford behind them. Having won...

It would obviously be preferable to not make a loss on him, but sometimes the big picture dictates otherwise. Not every signing works out, but if we were also able to sell Lati for a profit then they kind of cancel each other out, and result in Lampard having more wiggle room to bring in players...
