The way they are going about things feels like an exception rather than rule.

Have there been many season long loan signings in the Championship as yet? I get the feeling such deals don't generally get done until closer to the season starting or even after, so if we do sign him it might not be for a while longer.

I remember this, it was first game of the season. Portsmouth were newly relegated from the PL and in financial freefall, but still had some 'name' players in their team, who just weren't interested or motivated. Was as easy a first game win as you could ever hope for.

From what I saw in the Monaco game I would be surprised if Brau is ahead of Bidwell or Dasilva come the first game of the season, or whether he would even be on the bench, although I do appreciate its probably unfair to judge him entirely on that game. If MVE is still with us I would expect FL...

Nice post, but disagree with your assertion that most of our non season ticket holders look to go to 23 games a season. If you did it would be nuts not to buy a season ticket, particularly if cost was an issue. I think we have plenty of casual supporters who go to up to say 6 games a season...

I am a non season ticket holder and someone liable to have to pay these prices, but nevertheless I don't get the level of bleating about this. Entertainment prices have risen massively in the last few years. Going to a Test Match or a decent gig costs more than double the price from 10 years...

That quick released throw would have been perfect in the Gyokores days.

Unlikely I know but I hope FL at least sounded out the Monaco coach on any of their young centre backs that not might get much of a first team look in this season with a view to a loan. Apart from the EMC header they never gave us a sniff of a chance.

I just think when there's many commenting about the potential strength of this seasons team as opposed against the team from last season, losing MVE makes us weaker. In the long term KKH might prove to be as good or better, but he is unlikely to be better initially. However if KKH were to play...

This is correct, but the story about them announcing it on the coach leaving Wembley is an urban myth created on this forum. As with most myths the more it is repeated the more people later view it as fact. The same happened with the stories started on here about Hamer being homesick and...

I feel like I'm the only person that wants us to keep MVE 😒

How much of the casino, if any, is actually under the pitch, as surely that would complicate any plans to lower the pitch?

That would be ridiculous, not pragmatic. Why make your team weaker and less of an attacking threat by adding Lati or Binks to the back line at the probable expense of Sakamoto or EMC? You cannot play a back 5 and a sitting midfielder like Grimes, while there is also no obvious team in the league...

I think Thomas has much more scope to become a top player and I would work around him. While it would be nice to bring in a stronger partner for him, for the moment I am ok with Kitching being his partner, and I suspect FL will start the season with them, and then much will depend on how they...

After our promotion from League 2 I thought Tom Davies was one who would comfortably make the step up, but it never happened and it was Dominic Hyam instead who did so.

I would have thought St Pauli might bring a few for the Gyokores/ Ostigaard derby.

It's a really difficult call right now. I think Ipswich are likely to be the strongest of the relegated sides, but other than that it is difficult to call. As with most seasons people are getting suckered into thinking the most active in the transfer market will be challenging, hence people...

I'm not sure we would be breaking the bank. If we have to pay Blackburn £1m in compensation, but his true value is in the region of £7m we would appear to be quids in, as long as he fits within our wage structure. Having said that I don't think he would initially be a definite starter, so while...

Up until these last few seasons we have traditionally not been a club that has sold large numbers of season tickets. I doubt we sold much more than 10,000 in any season we had in the top flight.

I would love to have him back for sentimental reasons, but his injury record realistically rules us out. He has certainly come a long way from that loan spell with Tamworth, and has had a career to be proud of. If I was him I would look at the MLS/ Saudi option rather than England where the...
