I see the club going about recruitment very differently to what we seen under previous owners. They try to keep all very quiet and will not get to know of any big signings until they are sure they have any deal over the line. They will miss out on more they sign but its smart that news doesn't...

Depending on his attributes he could be developed into a wing back over time. I think the club have highlighted his athletism and think they can mold him into a very good player, who can adapt to multiple roles within the system.

Its a 4 year deal which gives the lad stability and time to settle in to the area. Im sure the club will be doing the right thing by him and will watch him carefully to start off with off the field. He will need help to settle and support from the club to find his way round. I would of thought...

Burnley want massive money for Kompany . I dont think they will pay when others may be out there without the fee.

COH will end up Prem in England, Scotland or with be sunning his ass in Spain or Portugal. He will go nowhere near L1, way too good for that level.

To match or better last seasons sales would be some effort from the fans. I wasn't sure it could be done, but the announcement of over 10k so far with 2k new holders bodes well to at least match it. Be great to keep the club moving forward and improving on and off the field. Hope Robins and...

Risedale at Preston trying to push for an answer off Browne as a date he set for the new offer to be accepted has past. Browne sounds like he looked at his offers and flew off on his holibobs to have a think about all. Or has already decided what he is doing and didn't call Preston before the...

I would bring him in preseason and see what his level of fitness is. If he cant get through then you know the answer, if he gets through, a year deal with an option could be all he gets and worth a risk in my opinion. At 26 he still has a chance of doing something but this year is a big year...

Could be a shrewd bit of business, sounds like he has options and if he picks us then im sure he will give his all and buy into the culture. . Its no doubt a big step up but if he signs the staff will work out the quickest way of giving him the best opportunity to make the grade. As for the...

Im sure Money v age and length of contracts will be a very active conversation between Doug, Austin and Robins. My impression is they will be a very different opinions on what is needed v what is value between manager and owner. I would of thought the club would put a loose scale on age to...

Browne has a decision to make and although it his right to take a look at all options and offers out there. The club will need an answer sooner rather than later, i would imagine they will set a deadline and if it passes, we will move on. We want players that want to sign for us for the right...

Im sure they will be more than a few L1 clubs interested in talking to him. Any sort of fee with the bonus of using the freed up wages would be very welcomed come summer.

I think we lose 1 of Sheaf, Simms or Wright the only saving grace is it will be for a lot of money. We may not like it but its sort of the way the model works. 1 out could mean 3 quality signings coming in covering a few different areas. If 1 goes the numbers i have coming in goes to 7 which...

If he gets any closer to us he'll be buying a ST.,

Getting the recruiting right is essential for any club to move forward the hardest part is providing list of players that constantly improves the group for a manager to work with. Im sure Robins gives his input of what he wants and types he is looking for to create the list he will look over...

Plenty of players knocking about looking for clubs and im sure we will get a few good calls from agents. A few names mentioned already could be good additions, Browne or Swift would be good options for that CM role we need that older head. I think we need that type at CB as well, McNair, Cooper...

David Pipe was a handful and stacked, he used to hang round with my mates brother. We met them a few times Pead, Fowler, Miller decent enough lads.

Lets hope we we can get more sold than last season and keep making progression on and off the field.

Quality v quantity is the key here and with our current squad we have 10 that can make an impact in my opinion Milan, Thomas, Sheaf, Eccles, Torp, Wright, Tatsu, Simms, Palmer and Mason Clark. Kitching, Tavares, Allen, JDS, Lats and Collins need very good preseasons or things could change for...

Sounds like Robins and Doug are signing off the same hymn sheet. The squad numbers, Robins had said the same towards the end of the season, we have to have the right balance. They also avoid talk about potential signings Robins just says im not telling you and Doug pivots away by going in...
