Our model will be the same as everyone else's club no matter size. You have to produce your own and the lower the level you go down the more dependant you are on that model working. The level of youth player we are now looking at and developing is different than 2 years ago for obvious reasons...

I think the 2 loans already in the pipeline have been accounted for within this seasons budget. Any sort of extra income brought in now from players sold or potential fee from past transfer will have a percentage assigned and added to this seasons budget. No matter how small any extra income...

2 loans , 1 perm is what is being touted and if that's the case some will be left surplus and should be moved on. We already know Hillsner, Mason and Jobello are 3 that already fall in that category. But decision on Pask, Drysdale, Allen and Shipley who could be looked at as fringe players will...

Starting LWB as it stands, looks like an athletic kid who MR is trusting to fill a spot. It's so important to our club that these players step up and improve. Nothing but positive things come from home grown players breaking through, even if in the end they move on. We always had a good name for...

Burroughs, Eccles look like they have the tools to be in most GameDay squads with us. Bapaga needs to follow Eccles path getting decent minutes to go along with his ability will come back a better player. Drysdale should be fighting for a spot in our starting 11 if he can't get in then not sure...

Not a lot you can know from these games but so far De Costa, Sheaf and Hamer are doing well. Victor and Waghorn showing glimpses. And Eccles looks like we have a player in him. Let's see if Jones can get some game minutes in his legs without reaction 2nd half. But so far decent shape and...

MR says he wants 4 more in but only thinks 2 are realistic, then he has no other option but to look within his current squad to fill the gaps. If that's the case then a few will be thrown in and a few more will be found out until the solution is found. Either way I can't see MR holding on to...

I think we all seen the level being a step to far for him, but nobody can fault his effort or the part he has played in getting us to the championship. I don't see it getting easier for him or it helping the squad by holding onto him if he hasn't improved enough to get playing time. He is not...

Waghorn has always been part of a unit never a player who is a focal point of a team. He works endlessly to create pressure on defenders, I do think he is a better finisher than Baka and Max and has played at a higher level for a longer period of time than both. He is a good squad addition and...

Would expect to see Howley, Nee, Bapaga , Ngandu, Reid and the trialist if we still have him Saturday. Would be nice to see Jones get some time be another big step for him in his recovery.

Once bitten twice shy, I would be shocked if MR thought he would fit into this group. The signings so far 2 are players who are good experienced pro's that are known to be good within a changing room. As for Sheaf not the level of experience as the other 2 but is already apart of the group and...

I think Walsh and Paterson have been in talks but can see Swansea getting both. Next week I can see us announcing a few which will make is clearer the path MR is taking.

I understand and agree but stated him pushing which implies now, this is his chance to be compared and fight for his place. Last year it was decided a loan would benefit him. This preseason it may end in the same decision. I hope he gets a chance and shows his potential.

He has shown potential, but needs to step up at the level we are now as a club. If he is not pushing Rose, Hyam & Macfazden for a spot in a gameDay squad and that without any new additions a decision will be made. I hope he does well and gets a chance, it's a big pre season for players like him...

MR will be trying to get at least 4 out the door on permanent deals and 3 more more on loans agreements. He has players on the bubble who he needs to make decisions on the likes of Allen, Drysdale, Hillsner & Pask are in my opinion really on that edge of being shown the door if he has better...

Half a million with add ons for him sounds more realistic, but if it doesn't happen it won't be a disaster as MR will have alternative targets to act on. I can see 6 or 7 in and same out including loans. Its a massive few weeks for the club and MR. I just hope our players returning from...

Stuart Parnaby was at the club training with both parties trying to sort a contract. It didn't happen as we were miles apart on what we could/would pay and what he thought he was worth/wanted. He was offended by the offer apparently, obviously we wasn't locking gates or doors to stop him...

Big Ron, thought he had pulled a master stroke by signing the Czech international Radek Bejbl before Euro 96. Apparently all was agreed, but the player wanted to wait until after the tournament to sign. He was not that well known before but ended up playing every minute of every game reaching...

Yep, makes complete sense now. But I must of missed the interview Mbappe gave when he played for us, talking about a career in coaching and a desire to scout if coaching fell on it's arse.😂 Never mentioned it as a way of signing players, just one who wants to coach. And never said scouting...

I remarked about an incentive with coaching as part of a deal, this is purely an opinion on what he states in his interview. He hasn't got the qualifications at pro level to be a pro coach, which is why I wrote we will probably announce a coach within next two weeks, you must see I was not...
