For sure. Of course he's a well respected coach of young players from his time there & that will definitely be a consideration but to suggest we only sign the likes of Maatsen & Dabo because of him is bonkers.

The Adi Viveash thing always makes me chuckle. A lot of 2+2 = 5 stuff. Maatsen only joined Chelsea in 2018... AV has been with us since 2017.

Exactly the kind of signing I was hoping/expecting. Much more gifted going forward than McCallum although does need to improve end product still, probably not as consistent defensively & obviously less physical strength but quick & with a great delivery. Definately looks like we're going to...

You didn't, I never said you did. The point was marquee signings come with marquee sized demands.

That's a fair argument & I must admit I was a little surprised to see it priced at £30, particularly on Sky, on a Sunday etc. I guess the concern is you devalue your product. If you only paid £15 for the first game back in Coventry, indeed the first competitive game in a long time for most...

A marquee signing like who? Marquee signings come with marquee sized demands & the risk is high & goes against everything Robins has built in his time here. Completely hpothetically, say we took a punt on someone like Scott Dann who some have been clamouring for. He was on £60k p/w at Palace &...

Think people need to reset their ambitions a little this summer. The Championship is probably hardest hit of any league & we've done more business than most clubs. There's a good article on The Athletic about it...

And good for us. As/when confirmed - don't believe it's a done deal yet.

Correct. Been some shady dealings previously though with clearly misleading valuations attached to some decent players to try & circumvent it. Michel Vorm's transfer from Swansea to Spurs is a good example but Swansea got away with it.

Carlo Nash should have a statue at the new ground. That said, it only delayed the inevitable!

Surely our "Boris" wasn't misleading again here?

Yeah, alluded to that earlier. Both absolutely phenomenal on loan (Mills' debut he was absolutely unplayable, one of the best individual performances I've ever seen) but rather underwhelming when signed permanently. In fairness to Gudjonsson though, he was exceptional under Eric Black but...

It was vile too, literally my least favourite shirt ever 🤢

Yep, just them 2. Cody McDonald then signed a few weeks into the season (not like that improved it much!). Doubly infuriating as it was the same off-season that we lost Westwood, King, Gunnarsson & Turner for next to nothing. Relegation seemed inevitable before we even kicked off & Thorn's...

I'd heard the Middle East rumours before he was officially released. Not sure why nothing has been announced, hopefully will be soon so we can finally move forward without constantly banging on about him.

I assume you haven't seen much of Bapaga & just jumping on the hype train? He is incredibly talented but hugely inconsistent, had a poor season for the U23s, regularly outshone by the likes of Tavares & miles off ready for the Championship at this stage. I think he has a great chance to make it...

I think you're letting what he's done since cloud your memories. Remember Charlton away, last game of the season where he seemed to be doing his best to get us relegated? That wasn't just a couple of isolated incidents either, he was all over the shop with his erratic decision making during...

Bjarni Gudjonsson

Was dreadful for us.
