He's potentially very good but injuries have hampered him quite a bit. His first spell at Blues he was excellent & excelled at Vitesse too. The Sunderland loan was a disaster as he got consecutive red cards but that was 3 & a half years ago, he's improved a lot since then. Natural leader -...

I believe the set appearance fees transfer to his new club. The problem being, he's not transferring to an English club therefore I believe it's likely null & void and we'll receive nothing further unless he returns to play in England again.

Couldn't agree more. Theoretically, they could go to any ground in the country & hoover up young players at 48hrs notice. They could take the next Wayne Rooney as a 9 year old for just £3k 'compensation' for example. Yes there would then be further payments based on his success but there's no...

Yeah. For some reason I believe we may have agreed a deal outside of EPPP with United but hypothetically, as an example & rough, fag packet maths... I believe McCann was with us from age 7 & left at 15. We would get £3k per year compensation for foundation phase (9-11) then, as a Cat 2...

If it was done in line with EPPP the selling club don't get a say in the matter. I can't remember the ins & outs of the McCann deal tbh.

Robins addressed this at the time, saying he wanted to keep playing Walker but had to take him out & put Biamou back in as both Walker & Gyok were struggling with fitness.

Luton still haven't released theirs, releasing Saturday apparently.

Dinanga has played the 10 in pre-season too.

Yeah, that was what I was getting at, just because they're not included on that list doesn't mean they don't have one. I saw on Twitter that somebody thought it meant Ngandu was being released for example. If you look at what they've been wearing during the friendlies they look largely...

Doesn't look like they've included many of the U23s in the list they've released except Howley, Bapaga, Tyler. Tavares, Ngandu, Rowe, Evans-Harriott, McGrath etc. all had numbers last season.

Edwards is on trial at Bournemouth. Marvin Johnson is a weird one, his versatility has actually been more of a detriment than a benefit. I wouldn't want him as a wing-back & we don't use wingers.

Oh for sure but it will begin easing was the point.

He's definitely with a view to signing, just want to assess where he's at & if he'll fit in.

Well, that's that then! Wonder what we can arrange with a local side at short notice.

Real shame, was a good servant for us. Fair play Sunderland too for extending his contract, they knew he likely wouldn't play much if at all this season but at least that keeps him with some security whilst he attempts rehabilitation. Fingers crossed for him.

Tenner for a fucking friendly is scandalous.

Don't need to isolate if double jabbed & been in contact with a positive case.

The revised isolation rules scheduled for 16th August should make things a little easier.

We will bring in some loanees, unquestionably, it's just parent clubs are reluctant to let them go so early so need to remain patient.
