    Who’d be an owner.

    Announced at 9pm. How do you know we didn't have to apply for a 9pm extension, while final details of the players contract was sorted. It was reported clubs had agreed on a deal, which is where fans assumed it was a done deal. Even if the player was on board with the move we may have still...

    25/26 Squad and permutaions

    I could argue having him at full back is a failure in squad planning.

    25/26 Squad and permutaions

    He has knowledge of the position though. It is why he looks more comfortable attacking than he does defending, but that is just my opinion. Any player playing in a secondary role won't be as good as someone in there main role. But football often requires that flexibility. Sometimes you have...

    25/26 Squad and permutaions

    When he was at Chelsea but got converted to a wing back/ full back. I think some of his England youth caps may have been on the wing.

    25/26 Squad and permutaions

    Brau, KKH and MVE are not wingers but can play in a wide midfield role. Dasilva has been a winger. I don't think Mason-Clarke is an out an out winger. More a wide attacking forward. Sakamoto is the only traditional winger we have.

    25/26 Squad and permutaions

    There is lots of flexibility in the squad. Okay not perfect replacements but you will never get that. Some players put in certain positions will offer something different. In an ideal world I would have liked someone who could play on both wings and at 10. Godo might have ticked that box and...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Lampard just isn't quick to use subs. You bring any player on late in the game and the lack of minutes they have limits their ability to make an impact, no matter who they are.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    I am more in the camp of signing the right players, rather than signing someone we can all get excited about only to be thoroughly disappointed in by the end of the season. It isn't always easy landing your targets. It can also take more than one window to get them done. I think Sheaf was an...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Minutes probably wouldn't satisfy the parent club or justify the loan fee.

    My take on the window

    So you are saying we lack talented players under the age of 21. Because you can only have 25 senior players in your squad. Even if you loan an under 21 player they count as part of the 25. What we need is players who are resilient but disciplined. Also in recent seasons we have had a couple...

    If we sign Woolf you can only have one.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    They might have applied for a 9 o'clock extension to dot the i's and cross the Ts. If you know it's done why are you getting your knickers in a twist sweetheart 💋. Perhaps he plays the posting game a lot better than you 😂

    Don't worry Doug has tried three credit cards, but his wife is on the way to Ryton with hers. Via Waitrose 😆

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    . You pick someone else from the squad and tweek the tactics. Not ideal but that's football. What have Barcelona done when Messi is not available. Any team that loses their best player doesn't have a shoe fit replacement.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    1. It is a transfer deadline and not an announcement deadline. 2. You can apply for a 9 o'clock extension if a deal is almost completed.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    You can only have 25 in your squad unless they are under 21 years of age. If they are loans they count as part of the 25 even if they are under 21 years of age.

    So people aren't affected by posts on social media? Personally or professionally in the football world? How naive are you!

    Aled Williams & John Dempster

    Does it merit campaigns to get people sacked though and undermining a person's professional reputation - when as you as say it is speculation based on tit bits and rumour. By all means suggest an upgrade. But when people state they are not fit for their role without offering any job related...

    Aled Williams & John Dempster

    Rudoni was a good player when we bought him, any player needs time to settle in. Yes his performances have improved substantially. What person, coach or coaches have influenced that or his ability, is harder to measure. You would put your money on Frank because of the position he played in...
