The pass completion will as much be down to the tactics Cardiff use. He’s winning a massive amount (quantity) of aerial duels which implies they’re going long a LOT. As a result, less likely to have people around him and the duels he wins equally unlikely to land at a teammate’s feet (as I’m...

Aggression goes a long way. He may not be dissimilar in terms of playing style (don’t know enough about him) but if Simms could apply himself properly and utilise his physical attributes we wouldn’t be having the conversation about moving him on. It’s moot.

Almost works to our advantage, though, for someone who cost a very modest fee.

So the 20% figure given just a few weeks ago was…what…guesswork? And now he’s got the real figures? I’ve farted more sense than that whopper talks.

Did we not get some other muck thrown in as well? Edit: Callum Reilly.

Kind of the point. We want to keep him, ergo it would take a price that likely no one would pay to prise him away.

More I think about it I think Jimmy Dunne would be a really smart signing. Gives us the improvement at CB and the RB cover in one.

Agree with a lot of this, but I still think it’s important that we have someone more capable in the air, even if only to build our attacks from them. Away from that, though, Simms lacks the movement and technical ability to cause the opposition other issues. Someone called out we effectively...

This is it. If someone offers £3m or thereabouts for either Simms/BTA then they can go. If someone offers £15m for Wright you’d certainly have something to think about.

Best make those 10 minutes count then!

Overdue one. Like the sky blue and black/dark navy efforts so far.

Feels counterintuitive but I’d probably be up for keeping BTA as long as he was happy being bit-part. But he won’t. Wright probably needs moving on for the fee. Simms probably needs moving on for the wages.

Think you’re referring to Van Ewijk here but the same applies to Wright. Will be a pain in the arse to lose him but he’ll be 28 next summer and I’d argue the window of opportunity to get a sizeable fee will have gone by then.

But there was leeway. The sentence was reduced by 5 months vs the starting point of 3 years.

Fucking hell we’re really through the looking glass here.

Hope there’s more to it than that. Dennis Lawrence ran over one of the ballboys and subsequently had to leave the country. Robins was caught smoking cigars in the toilet at Ryton.

On loan from Spurs. Could see him come in on loan next season.

With this, if we are to be making the squad bigger I hope we take a proper succession planning view and bring in others in the profile of Bassette.

Loved seeing Pep getting all ratty at the end. Twat.

Best we could do really is a loan with an obligation to purchase for, say, £10m if we went up.
