The leak to saddlebrains reaks of expectations management I have to say. Overly precise

No it's not

One of torp's best skills is the robbing tackle

Trouble is funding 5 divisions full time is unaffordable without money from the Prem clubs. Germany only has two. And the Prem clubs increasingly feel less inclined to the charity of helping fund the lower leagues from their TV money. And you can see why. They draw very few players from the...

I read that as buffoon which completely changed the meaning....

This is what people say when there is a mismatch between what ITK's are saying and what they as fans dream about. Strikes me that SB's info fits in with the known facts. We have bought two defenders to deal with the number 1 weakness. We have not sold a player since Hamer, but brought several...

Absolutely nobody is perfect, so "Trust in (fill in name)" is a little bit daft. They will cock up at some point, in fact to have some cock ups is a good thing. Americans recognize the need for failure, Brits tend not to. But as soon as you say "trust in" you are saying in effect, that there...

Career development and long term prospects = more money. It's overwhelmingly about maximizing revenue over a 10-12 year career span. And it's the only way to look at it because its exactly what we would do in their position. Any claim that there is some kid of morality in it is for the fairies...

It is always about money. Rightly so

I would have more faith in Simms if he did not persist with that weird habit of half jumping for long balls about 2 meters in front of the defender, rather than properly contesting for the ball. It just looks aimless to me

If I was to bet on outcomes on the basis of what is on here (always a risky thing to do) - after over 150 pages - Doyle is a no-no, sadly. So we will not have one of the biggest arses in football (I mean that physically, it is no judgement on him as a person, he may be absolutely lovely) -...

Are 7 It is the position we are most desperate for. We leaked goals all over the place not just left back. You can have one of Kitching or Thomas but not both. We need someone better to dominate the defence. Stupid goals (like the Stoke second to name but one) need to be cut out. When we score...

a better example is EMC and Wright, but that has always mystified me

So what he is not a pensioner and I allowed for that. Like for like he is four times the player

If Grimes is 3-4 mil then Eccles is half that

At our level, to have two very expensive players in one position would be chronically bad financial management and the recipe for an unhappy dressing room

We got very predictable with it. It really only works as a shock tactic.

Well if we have added two new full backs and a centre half I think that would tick the defence box. Got to get rid of some shite now; no offence Lati and Luis

Kitching over Thomas for me

Anybody know what hours Dean Austin is working? Is be burning the midnight oil or pissing off early at 4 pm? A lot to do before the first game. Those with long lists of ins and outs are likely to be disappointed
