Agreed. I can accept him moving upwards to the PL or a top European league, but not to one of our league rivals. Still remember when McSheffrey went to Blues, and that it felt a real kick in the teeth to our season's ambitions when he left us for them.

Some people seem to think we are the only losers if Gyokeres stays and sees out his contract. However, it would also be a high risk strategy for both Gyokores himself and any potential buyer. By staying Gyokores will forsake a years higher earnings and take a chance that he doesn't receive an...

Can guarantee certain teams will still find a reason to abuse the multi ball system when holding onto a lead. For some reason I particularly remember that happening at Leicester when Levein managed them. While it was 0-0 there were spare footballs everywhere, but as soon as they took the lead...

Yes, I didn't leave that game celebrating because we won. Unlike our other escapes where we battled our way through, this day we simply laid down and gave up. I didn't go to the Charlton collapse under Coleman but that sounded similar to the Villa game. Under Don Howe we had adopted the most...

How well we play the loan market next season is likely to be a defining factor in our season. Last season on average only 3 of our 5 loans were in the starting XI, so there is scope for getting more value from that route next season.

Then we don't accept 17m! Not this early anyway. Once we get close to August of course then its a different matter! I have thought West Ham are a likely destination for a while, but I think the majority of PL clubs outside the top 8 will have him on their radar as of now and if we negotiate...

Has Brewster signed yet?

As a side note did anyone else notice that the Manchester cup final last weekend had an attendance about 3,000 lower than our game against Luton? Maybe the touts were asking too much and couldn't shift their tickets!

His rumours seem as reliable as yours 🤫

Blackmail?

Southampton could have Tella and Smallbone in their team next season with a year's Championship under their belts. They have a much younger team than Leicester, with players who will be more suited and more up for the Championship than Leicester, who could have a load of prima donnas who think...

Isn't Burroughs favoured position LWB? If so I see this as a non starter regardless of whether Bidwell stays or goes. It's RWB where we need 2 players. I guess BNC might come back, but if not how about Ethan Laird as an option? Contract finishing at Man U. Looked very good a couple of seasons...

I disagree. He is a decent player as we have seen against us a few times, but there are a lot of alarming stories about his poor attitude which I think would put MR off signing him. My hunch is that he will end up going abroad.

Newton might yet make it into league football. I remember reading that he was a very quiet lad which was deemed to be holding him back. I believe he had the talent, so a couple of years in non league building up his confidence might have done him the world of good.

They might be, I really don't know. Then again you don't come across as a medical expert so I doubt you know either! He has been a good player for us, and was an important one in his first 2 seasons particularly. If he could get fit and return to that form he is easily good enough to play in...

Golden Goal wouldn't get cagier if there were no penalties at all, and if teams had to take a player off every 5 minutes or so until a winner is scored. The extra space on the pitch would soon guarantee a goal scored at one end or the other. Would be interesting tactically how managers...

Another player who has played his part on our upward trajectory and deserves to be well remembered for that.

If Dabo can get himself fit he would be an asset to many a Championship team. Someone who has been a big part of our upward journey does not deserve to be referred to as 'pony' by dimwits on here.

Given Walker and Waghorn are leaving Yates could be a replacement for them as much as Gyokeres. Yates seems to be a similar player to Godden so we will still need at least one more striker even if we do sign him, and one that is more of Gyokores physical stature. Kaba and Simms fit the bill for...

He already has his badges. Got them a few years ago. My nephew was on the same course. Scott Brown was on it too.
