He never fulfilled his early promise, and I seem to remember him going off the rails. He seriously fell out of favour with O'Neill (a pretty decent judge in general). In fact, a quick dig finds this...

Look, we can only go on what we know about any new owners. They've promised to buy the first half of the ground immediately, and strenthen the squad (we know the present owners won't do this anytime soon, and have lied about doing this to maximise season ticket sales). "Where's the proof !?" you...

I don't really see the point in this. I like 7 subs as it allows you to name a couple of youngsters, not to mention a GK without comprimising tactical options. As far as it levelling the playing field goes, I don't think it would stretch any Championship club to name 7 subs. Just stick a...

I agree, but my mate with the car doesn't. It does my nut in, but it isn't worth the wait/cost for a bus, then a train back to Leamington. So, that's my excuse. TBF to my mate, the only goal we've missed in the last 3 years is the equaliser against Newcastle in the cup-and that was worth it for...

I make you right! It'll certainly take those new players a while to settle anyway, wheras ours will know each others games fairly well and be at home with the formation/style. As for Leicesters signings..I really don't see what the big deals about. Naughton and Yakubu were a class above...

Reckon they might be stirring, Nick! As far as Hoff is concerned I'm sure it comes down to a strong personal dislike for a few of them. It would appear that the rivalry between the two camps is pretty intense. JE & GH wouldn't have been eyeing the dugout with binoculars on Sat if they were all...

There's been a few threads on this. I tend to agree with the general response-it's understandable given AT's not a proven manager and probably not rated outside the club (we know different-he's our greatest asset). It's also based on us struggling last season, losing possibly our 2 best players...

That starting team with no-one sold from it and financial backing to strengthen it would look even better! Although I think Baker or even Thomas are ahead of Deegan for the Leicester game in AT's thinking, on match fitness alone. The little knock has probably put Deegan back a week or 2. I...

Did Wood play at LB 2nd half? Who set up the 3 goals? Great to see McPake sounding good. I liked what AT had to say about him in the Telegraph today. Quality defender who could make a huge impact this season-the best we looked under Coleman was when McPake was leading the back-line in his...

No, selling Lukas after losing King would be close to the final straw for me too. And AT has made as-positive comments about him as he has Sammy. I might be wrong, but I think AT scouted him for Everton before they signed him, as well as us. His potential is very high, as we saw in particular...

Wish I still lived on Tachbrook Road, then I'd be in the same boat as you Rob! Still, it's not too far from Leam.

Maybe it's "look to make 6 passes at least"? At Nuneaton there was a lot of working the ball from side to side, twisting the other team out of shape and working space-usually buying time for the full-back on one side to work a good position. It's Sammys or Gaels job at the fulcrum to dictate...

No surprise to me with Roy, 9 in 15 at Hartlepool in L1 on loan sounds like a bloke who can do it in the Championship to me, as I say regularly, and thats exactly what I saw on Saturday! What are the odds on him to be our top goalscorer next year? With his pace and predatory instincts in the...

We simply must keep both, and as others have said the money from sales would just go to SISU-not signing new players. If we had to lose one, it'd have to be Lukas. I rate Sammy as our best player by some distance, and he's crucial to our style of play. In addition, AT has more than just...

Where are you getting coverage, mate? EDIT: GOT IT! Official site. http://www.ccfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10269~2397381,00.html

I remember that! Rates alongside Tim Sherwood coming off the bench and making his first touch a two-footed lunge, for which he got booked, or Runar Normans' "subbed after coming on as sub" impact.

We should be more worried about the Villa scouts who have been watching him! It was horrible giving a desription of his playing style to the Villa fan who i buy lunch from who asked me about him-he'd never heard of him, although his attempts at prounouncing it were funny! I was gutted-I...

Sorry, I completely dispute that! If he have a look around, a player of Arons profile will go for around 400k-900k at tribunal. The only reason for taking a lower offer would be if you wanted to just get the cash in quick..oh wait, I see now :facepalm: So, SISU's need to cash in quick has cost...

This maybe explains the big PR "poor Robbo" piece in the Sunday Mirror this weekend then. Get the defence in there early. I may actually read it now. I don't normally buy the rag..I only got it for the Prem transfer summary. Ironically, it's usually the only copy of the NOTW I buy each year!

Nah I just can't even bring myself to trying to work out if it's worth accepting-because no way will a championship midfielder of his profile with 11 months on his contract attract such a bid. 1M tops, 500k likely first bids. Knowing SISU, that's all it's take. A question more worth asking is-is...
