Heart over head but I've bet an each way double on Vik/ Haji to be division top scorers, which I'm hoping isn't lost by the end of August through us selling Wright :eek:

The FIFA/ Football Manager generation are never going to be happy unless we are making 8 signings every Summer. Occasionally clubs do recruit like that (Birmingham and Wrexham this Summer for example) but there are no guarantees it will work out for them. In reality though, unless we lose Rudoni...

Do you know this as fact? I know things turned out badly for him but it doesn't tie in with the lad I occasionally saw in the Wyken Club during his time with us. Granted I can't say I knew him well but he certainly didn't seem the type at that time to give it the big I am. As for Grendel's...

Unless they take under £15m they won't be making a loss! As the end of the transfer deadline nears and the games of bluff between buyers and sellers comes to a head we'll have a better idea of course. Hamer doesn't seem the type to actively push for a move by causing a stink, but Sheffield still...

For some reason you have always had a downer on Hamer, and as we all know once your mind is made there is no changing it. Even in Hamer's final season with us when he had sorted his disciplinary issues out and stepped up another level you would not credit him for it. I presume on the basis that...

Too late. He's already signed for Espanyol!

SV Hamburg have a bit of a right wing following so on the occasions they play St Pauli it can get pretty tasty.

His performances against Spurs and Sheffield United last season clearly shows there is a player there despite some of the ridiculously over the top comments on here. If he can't get in front of Simms and BTA though, then there is a problem and it is best to let him go. I think if he goes to...

Might be a bit mixed as he's scored plenty against West Ham over the years, so at least he won't be able to do that anymore.

Tommy Docherty was Derby's manager and quipped that he thought we would melt in the sun.

The last goal at Middlesbrough drawing a 'You're gonna get your fucking heads kicked in' aimed at the City fans behind the goal :eek:

Also wore the brown kit at Derby when Steve Hunt made his debut for us.

Andy Impey had no other options and Adams was doing him a favour. Wilson will have plenty of well paid options.

There were plenty using the same argument you are using now for selling MVE on the cheap, that thought we should sell Hamer and Gyokores a year before we did at much lower fees than we eventually got for them.

If he went to somewhere like West Ham he would be on nearer £50k a week than £25k a week. Saudi Arabia could also be a well paid option for him.

From what I understand the Man U thing came from him idolising Beckham, and as with many kids from Cov of his generation he supported Cov and a PL team. I would be very surprised if he is still a Man U fan!

Yes, but I've seen the other 15-16 players already. Brau was a new signing so I paid particular attention to him, and he looked poor, even amongst a team as a whole that looked poor. It was only a friendly however, and of course he will still be finding his feet with us, so I hope and trust...

Yes he was rarely involved, but when he was he seemed to miscontrol the ball or lose possession quite easily. To be fair to him Monaco is a big step up from what he's been playing against and he will hopefully improve, but he seemed way off being a starter come the first game of the season.

but has the new left back been signed to go straight into the team or is he a Rapha like project? We will find out in the next few friendlies I guess, but if the Monaco game is a guide he will be nowhere near the first team anytime soon, when he looked well out of his depth.

This was this season that Turner eliminated mistakes from his game, and he was probably player of the season until he got injured in a game against Leeds. I don't think he played for us again after that until he returned on loan in League 1. It was also a turning point for Bothroyd as things...
