League 2 I suspect. We had no loans at the start of the season iirc

Ben Dover...Mustapha Koch. Ooh er missus

How on earth is that naive? Seems the obvious truth to me. More money and chance to play in the top league. No brainer for him and good luck. If he plays well he will be picked up by another Prem club when United get relegated. If Hamer is worth £15m, then the deal we got for Vik is even...

Those who are disappointed about the team selected for today have not been watching Robins for the last 6 years. Two rules he seems to apply fairly consistently :- 1. He values continuity. Last year's success was built a core of players who had been there 2-4 years. 2. He rarely throws new...

I just love the Championship. Better than the Prem. You can argue that a dozen clubs could get into the top 6, even if the top two are liable to be from the recently relegated three. You can predict the Prem's top 6 right now. There are three relegated teams, plus Norwich and Watford who will...

My perception is 'What an interesting bloke. I really like his individuality' so forgive errors. It is all in the eye of the beholder. Much better than Dowie or Coleman prowling menacingly, inches from the touchline. Nothing could be more intimidating for players than that.

To not sell him to anyone for £20m would be mind-numbingly stupid. We've just built almost a whole team on that amount of money from Big Vik. The only reason for not selling would be if you thought the Club's coaching and recruitment staff were so crap they would never find and develop a...

No idea what team altho the logic in Procdoc's submission is pretty good. Fair chance some players we fully expect to be superseded later in the season may well start - Wilson, Bidwell & Godden. Bidwell in particular - McFadz has got to have someone he knows in the back line. Even so, sadly...

...maybe we are already spending the Hamer money?

We have seen plenty of clubs splash the cash with little reward and Robins is in uncharted territory. 8 new players, statistically you would think at least two will be duds. Four have come from other leagues, so the risk/reward is greater with those players. Last year's team very settled (7...

Could not possibly be more wrong. The defence that got us to the play offs had two loanees in the centre plus another at wing back. We can never afford, even now a player of Doyle's quality. Loans bring skill levels that are beyond the usual acquisition routes. O'Hare, Sheaf were both loanees...

You also need players who can kick a man.....sorry mark a man. Thinking of Terry Yorath oddly enough

Would not at all be surprised if Allen started as you can't just have all those dandy-dans like Palmer and Saka around at once. You need a workhorse particularly against a good side like Leicester just down from the Prem. And away from home. As the expensive buys, Thomas and VE have to start.

Been mulling over, as a paid up prophet of doom, why we should not be getting too carried away 1. Plenty of clubs have spent big and not gone up (we heard fans like Stoke's complaining that they had spent money but not got a team as good as ours). It is no guarantee 2. Post Covid Championship...

A big leap only in the longer term. McNally and Doyle were both excellent, not sure Lab & Binks will be their level on day 1

The point was that the post took an absolutist stance by saying that Robins didn't buy older players, there was no conditional clause saying he only buys good older players. He clearly does buy older players when it suits or in desperation

what, like Martin Waghorn, MaGuire....

who is eghosa?

Loans got us to the play offs - Doyle, McNally, BNC

So far the rumormongers have had a pretty good summer. That is three of the longstanding rumors in, only Saka a bit of a surprise. Is this guy in lieu of McNally? Need a loan for the next Callum Salter-Ostigaard for left sided defence
