The lack of intel this summer won't be a coincidence. DK clearly is a stickler for keeping information in-house and for leaks to be kept at a minimum. Wouldn't be shocked if either of the above don't get much, if any, information passed on anymore.

He did play for us as I remember him being in goal as he was absolutely tiny and couldn't catch. Pretty sure he converted into a defender.

As terrible as he was, there's no chance he was worse. At least Brown somewhat lingered in and around L1 for a few seasons afterwards.

It might have been the Bury game I was at then. I was sure it was his debut though. Either way, even with all the dross we've had over the past couple of decades there's probably only a handful of players that have genuinely looked that lost on a football pitch and he's one of them.

Two times two many. He categorically was the worst centre back I've ever seen play at the club. On his debut it was genuinely like he'd had a make a wish granted to play in a professional football match. I've never seen a player in any position look so terrible on the ball.

I very much doubt that. Clubs sending their young players out on loan will inevitably expect them to receive consistent game time so using them as squad filler won't really be an option. I think anyone brought in on loan will probably have a fairly prominent role in the squad.

Kevin Malaga was possibly the worst CB I've ever seen play at the club.

Yeah, individually I would agree it's not a dreadful offering, the issue is when it's spread over a 23 game season and you're having to justify it game by game. On the midweek night matches for example, that for me is where you would lose a lot of the value.

I was speaking to a friend recently who's fairly close with one of the Directors at Arsenal. They were never even in for him last summer. Sesko was always their No.1. target but that got scuppered when he signed a new deal.

Yeah echoing what others are saying the value isn't really there with the Mahou Lounge unless you're committed to drinking 10+ pints at every game. As a concept I don't actually think it's too bad but really they need to bring the price down to make it more appealing and feasible to people, and...

Agreed the government funding for the tram line suggests it's a lot more likely than previously thought. Assuming a stadium will indeed be built though it's categorically not going to be anywhere near a 60k capacity arena. That's not at all viable.

I don't really see how it won't to be honest. Everything Wagner has actually proposed from the 60k capacity stadium to claims that they're going to have the most revenue of any Championship club ever who hasn't received parachute payments is complete fantasy.

I thought it was 6 months but it's a horrible injury so could be longer. It potentially could be for the season then if it's a full blown rupture.

That sounds less than positive. If he's ruptured his achilles he'll probably be out until December / January.

A symptom of having an owner that is genuinely on par with Trump with some of the sensationalist nonsense he comes out with.

I suspect they'll go hell for leather to try to get promoted this season and deal with the consequences later. Their only real strategy for mitigating their likely still massive losses seems to be to drive commercial revenue to be on par with clubs receiving parachute payments - which Wagner...

Losses are assessed over a three year rolling period. Think £39m is the max.

I suspect it's because there isn't much of a willingness for clubs to pay over what's being touted in the media. So holding out for a higher fee just isn't realistic or productive. The agent will have been in direct dialogue with clubs for some time now so he'll likely have a pretty good gauge...

From scouting reports Brau seems like an out and out left back that likes to get forward and put crosses in. If your description is right I'm fairly sure it won't be him...

He's rumoured to be loaned out to the Championship to be fair. Probably won't be us though.
