First thoughts all look about right, although I heard a rumour that the most we'd get in terms of transfer kitty from the Hoff would be 6m. Which would quite frankly have me doing cartwheels! Ha, 6m spending money...2-3 would be bloody amazing. I thought we had a budget of around 1m this summer...

I get a very strong feeling that young Gael Bigirimana will get his chance too this season-it sounds like he may already be close to Deegan and Thomas standard. Lets face it, if Deegan or Sammy aint fit, it'll be Bigirimana or Thomas starting. Bell and Baker together in the middle would be too...

He's probably trying to. I hope so! If not, we'll just have to get on with it and back the players and manager to the hilt. Bit worrying that we're talking about using adversity and creating a tight-knit "siege mentality" in the camp before we've even kicked a ball. It is starting to feel like...

Was a workhorse with flair first season and made a great early impact with his wholehearted approach. Ducked out of onehelluva lot of tackles last season. Bit of a "1 in 6" player now. Tries a few too many hollywood balls that lead to him giving the ball away needlessly, and his short passing is...

That's ok, you don't have to! I just wanted to explain why my short posts may appear negative. Agreed, ICHAN-that does seem to be the cycle we're in. I just don't want them to say things they don't mean, and I'm presently of the view they have done yet again. I would probably have renewed...

I wonder what kit Sammy will be holding up this time next year? Ah well, at least one really annoying old CT forum poster will be happy, now he can say "See ya". I couldn't be bothered to read the link, too depressing..does it mention a fee?

Sorry, sarcasm, my bad! I could have said that Thornton's only on a month-to-month at Northampton, and looking in good shape!

I would really love him to, but can we afford to sign another midfielder. After all, Deegan is our new signing in midfield. And Thomas. In fact, WE'RE AWASH WITH MIDFIELDERS!!!:p

It is fair comment, and I'm usually as positive in general. I defend the players a lot, love Thorny as a manager, and hate people who boo the side on a Saturday and pick on the youngsters in particular. So I'll justify my attitude. We're not talking about anything behind the scenes, just the...

Agreed about Westwood, Tanktop. I realised about 2 years ago that he makes 1 outrageous goalsaving save each game that would have been in with any other 'keeper I've seen bar Oggy. There has been precisely 1 home game in that time that he hasn't done that, and he usually did it more than once...

He could have been one of the ones AT was talking about when he said he'd made offers but they were "out of our reach at the moment". Possibly Earnshaw and Phillips too.

We're not gloom and doom merchants. We just aint happy that SISU promised the same budget as last summer. That clearly aint the case, and worse, their appears to be a possible fire sale about to happen. At the very least, our only decent remaining forward is being constantly linked with a move...

"Oh, and that's a bad miss.."

Bendtner, Yakubu, Routeledge type loans on massive wages just aint gonna happen folks! We'll be in the market for a 17-19 year old with 1 or 2 League Cup games under their belt at the most. The modern Jamie McMasters, who will probably be out of the game within 3 years. Having just read the...

My point is he was a fringe player who mostly made very little impact. Do we really want to loan someone who isn't in our best XI? Or someone who isn't ready, but we have to pick as part of a loan agreement (Ward)? In the same situation, a Roy O'donovan or Clive Platt could probably contribute 1...

I thought it was the "slows you down" type rather than the "speeds you up" sort he got caught with? I'm sure he had trouble with guns at some point too. Shame 'cos he was great in the lower leagues. He's a joke on here yet has a better strike rate than Adam Le Fondre...

Didn't Hines get 1 goal in 9 sub performances? He hardly kept us up. He was just all we could get at the time. I remember Coleman, almost word for word, saying "He's no way near ready, he's just a baby really, but we're down to the bare ones"! THATS the sort of player we'll end up with. Not...

Really? Like who? Henderson maybe, but I'm struggling after that! Don't forget they come with loan fees and wages contributions. Wouldn't we be better off signing good out of contract young players, making them better, then selling them for a profitt? We spend roughly the same money, but make...

It's Leicester, who cares who they sign? The only one of that lot who may be on value-for-money wages is Peltier, and he's crap.

These are pretty lightweight rumours. Was Linnell reading the paper on the bog and felt he had to share such "insider tip offs" with the fans? I doubt either has ANY basis in reality, which is fine by me. Eastwood has more prolific lower league records than either, and that hardly worked out...
