You will be lucky if 4 of them are in the starting line up on the opening day!

Are they likely to sell out? I guess their PL support might stick with them through their initial year in the Championship!

Yes, you're right. In terms of cup competitions I think he is right to do so in the League Cup, but not the FA Cup. Many of our fans seem happy to travel and pay good money though to watch us in friendlies which are effectively glorified fitness sessions, so I don't see why they wouldn't also go...

Doesn't make us Brummies though!

I thought Wilson was from Sunderland?

Stats can be made to suit any argument and they are not black and white and always require context - otherwise everyone could just use FM ratings to rate players as fact (I know some do!!). The context of those 3 games at the start of the season was that our keeper made about 4 howlers & Fadz...

If you didn't rate Hyam then fair enough, you weren't alone. Using those stats though don't really show anything as these were the games where Moore was playing in goal, making countless errors. To my mind Hyam was a good player for us with a lot of scope to get even better, and was probably...

If he wants to go there isn't much we can do about it if our highest offer to him isn't enough. Such a shame as replacing him is going to be really difficult. The thing I don't want to see is him joining one of the relegated PL teams, and so ends up playing against us next season.

Maybe if the stories of Everton being interested turn out true, we might be able to make Simms part of the deal. They do seem to have their own financial woes though and also doubt as to whether they can/ will meet our asking price, although they might get a windfall from selling Pickford I suppose.

Ideally you are correct, but in terms of loan signings the majority of the best available from the PL won't become apparent until August, once the season is up and running.

Michael McIndoe syndrome!

Yes, maybe no English clubs publicly in for him as agent has told any interested that he wants to go to Lisbon.

Sounds like I was wrong then. Am slightly surprised we didn't sell more knowing how desperate people were for a cup final ticket though. There were plenty that would have ended up paying the equivalent of what a season ticket cost in those days just for their cup final ticket!

Never seen him play, but fits the profile of the sort of player I would expect MR to be interested in.

Not saying you are definitely wrong as it was a long time ago now but I don't remember it like that. As I remember, sales priority to those that were not existing season ticket holders were based mostly on ticket stubs and not on future season ticket sales, as I'm sure they would have shifted a...

Doesn't mean anything in reality. I expect that story has come from Lisbon and/ or Vik's agent hoping to help pressure us into selling. Wouldn't be surprised if his agent will have agreed a deal with Lisbon that he will be paid extra for keeping the transfer fee as low as possible, and that also...

While it might be true that they can agree a pre contract to sign him in 6 months time, he would still not be able to join them and play for them until the following season. I would say its as risky for him to do that as it is for us. He could get injured, he could lose form, there could be...

Why would Moyes choose to leave West Ham? Winning in Europe will only raise their profile and make them more attractive to potential signings. Sounds like one of those rumours you can swiftly assign to the 'bullshit' category.

Wants to play for the club he supports before his career finishes. There is definitely something admirable about that. I hope he smashes it next season and leads them to promotion.

It depends how much they offer, and how easy we could find a replacement. If we could sign the Rotherham keeper or say get Darlow in who did pretty well at Hull last season, then it might not be the worst move for us. As pointed out though his character has been a crucial aspect to the spirit...
