If Newcastle were really in for him it would be no contest, so as many have already said this sounds like agent BS.

Spot on. We had signed him effectively last year. Glad finally confirmed as 750k is good business.

Was it Valencia who set up the method of having about 5 players earmarked in every position in case they missed out on their earlier choices. Whichever club it was were amazingly successful. My worry is we have a lot of previous of buying some really good development players from the UK and this...

Would start getting worried if we were in for Waghorn and he resigned for Derby.

Bremang looks a bit of a beast but never really troubled our bench. I read he had issues (but so did Clarke-Harris). Never saw anywhere we got a fee for him just a sell on clause, although I will be happy to be corrected...maybe a development fee.

Absolutely, but occasionally knowing someone personally like the Everton youth players may help.

Hope Shippers is given another chance possibly playing on the right like near the seasons end, cutting in on his left foot. Allen I would love to come good but he looked well off the pace last season. A league 1 club will snap him up if available. Think we will struggle to move the other 3 on...

Bristol looks a strange situation...let half a team go and sign James. Hope they don't gazump us on any more players.

Squad update. Currently lost out on James which is massive if he keeps fit. Marosi gone. Still looking a relegation battle at present along with Derby and promoted clubs, so we do need more bodies soon especially with Kelly unfit for the start. New first team coach which I assume should be an...

Liked Marosi and thought there was room for improvement. Nevertheless, Wilson despite his faults outperformed him last year, although probably due to Marosi's injury. Before the injury, thought Marosi was struggling to adapt to the higher level albeit with some poor defensive performances in...

I suppose if you are going for a striker it is going to be really difficult to get anyone who is even as good as Godden and Walker without spending big money. As a guess the Waghorn rumour may have legs. No fee, probably biggish wages along with a young loan striker from the Prem for the other...

What type of player should we go for? Last seasons Luton method big and physical or more with footballing ability. Ideally a mixture is best but with a limited budget should we sacrifice some of our footballing style for a bit of brawn. Obviously, good footballers win out in the end but you...

Not a rumour, but back in the mists of time we turned down future European footballer of the year Kevin Keegan for being too small and Chris Waddle when they had trials. Someone was seriously shit back in the day.

Top bloke. If his football ability had matched his commitment and love of the club he would have been a mega star rather than a third choice striker. He never gave less than 100% and played his part in getting us promoted through the leagues. Hope he gets a big payday somewhere else as he...

Hypothetical question as there will be changes. If no one comes in and no one goes out I think we would be looking at probably being in the bottom 3 next season. Interesting to see how opinions will change as we bring players in or players leave. Interested in peoples opinions as things develop...

Great idea. Did the city own the Mercers Arms back in the day? Mark up on beer is usually 100% profit I think, so get drinking or spilling it down your cardie.

I lived in the Black Country when Ron was manager at West Brom. Their fans seemed to think Ron had got lucky inheriting a brilliant team. Think it was Ronnie Allen then Johnny Giles who built most of the team that built his rep. They were brilliant however. beating us 6-1 I remember when I...

Under contract gets a 15% signing on fee = big bucks. Breaking agreed contract, refusing to play not so wonderful.

Yes, thats the one.

I still have fond memories of McCallister dropping the ball on Dublins head at the near post from a corner, and Dion winning it most of the time.
