From what I know, if it's the "near Bristol" end of Wales, that won't be a problem.

Not quite, but he's good enough to have had Man U, Chelsea and Man C scouts sniffing around him for the past 18 months. I'm confident that he's a potential 10-15m player in the making. I think people keep forgetting just how young he is, and not everyone has seen him perform at his best yet...

I love the passing style- I loved it when Liverpool did it in the 80's, and even when they were slaughtering us, I couldn't help but admire it. I loved the great Holland and Brazil sides that played that way, and you had to admire the way Wenger got that Arsenal side playing. Swansea were the...

This is up there with RUMOUR: There is a Chinese man with lots of money!

Think I'll wait for a more reliable source. But I wouldn't be shocked if it was true.

Now he's fit, I completely agree. But he wants to go home, and Hibs don't have much money. Neither does anyone else in Scotland! 100k is probably Hibs transfer budget for next season.

Well the Gillingham footage suggested he was great on the counter, and can read a target man (was it Akinfenwa?). Whereas his mis-reading of Platt suggests he couldn't-or maybe hints at Platt being a worse target man (in the air) than many perceive him to be. I expect Thorn wants a Collins/Cody...

And it's not just the number, or the quality of them, it's when. We've seen last-minute signings in the past who've missed a preseason..we all know how that works out :facepalm:

So speaks the remaining optimist! Although I'm going to assume you were being "dry". ;)

Sounds like he's got the worst aspects of King, Hughes and Kyle combined..perfect for us then, snap him up, guaranteed 20 goals plus in L1!

If they did that, filed the accounts, paid the rent, then went "bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang" in the transfer market, well THEN I might start to believe they meant it! Maybe.

I don't "worship" him at all. I agree, it should have been Keogh at RB and McPake CB if fit. He never was, and when he was used, he looked like an ex-footballer he was so off the pace. Wood was also injured for most of the season, needed to cover Hussey's injury for another part of it, and...

Firstly, you DIDN'T say Wood was a better technical player than Cranie, you said he was better full stop, but: Technical player? Wood better than Cranie? So, Wood has: 1) A better first touch than Cranie? 2) Better passing ability? 3) Better creativity? If I was rating them in these...

Yeah, that's how they got me last year with the "King is staying" and "same budget as last season" shite. I simply won't swallow it from them ever again! This "piss off your fan-base" strategy HAS to see them getting away with it increasingly less over time, surely?!?

The problem was that Plat and Nimely had great assets, but neither of them was goalscoring. Cody has no assets, aside from goal-scoring (or at least, getting into goal-scoring positions), and it does unfortunately seem to take him 4 or 5 chances before he converts one. Talk about trying to build...

My support is NOT unconditional, as that way, they'll shit all over us-as they are, and are continuing to do. I don't get any where near as much enjoyment going to games any more-not helped by being treated like a criminal by security staff. I wish I hadn't got a ST last season, but I swallowed...

Well it worked for Cloughie! I got that from the manual of Championship Manager 93: offer low basic contracts and large incentives such as goal, win, clean sheet etc, as used by Clough at Derby and Forest!

Spend it on contract killers to eliminate SISU.

What, like the rent? :facepalm:

Keogh IS a natural CB, he played his entire career there until Carlisle signed him and moved him to RB-he prefers it as there are less defensive responsibilities and he loves getting forwards. But then you think that Wood's better than Cranie, so we are unlikely to agree on much! How anyone...
