I reckon Tubbs would be absolute quality! He usually got more than Steve Morrison, and he does ok at our level ;)

He played our style of football pretty darn well under Coyle, that's for sure. If he fancies a year at his hometown club, he'd be a good replacement for Carsley in that he'd add leadership and experience-without the injury-proneness. He might be a bit over the hill, but he'd be a very solid...

Well if you call getting caught buying cocaine and cannabis from a drug dealer (for a friend, natch) "regressed slightly", I guess he has just a little bit! But we are used to getting quality damaged goods at a knock-down bargain price, and I'm pretty certain Thorn rates him as a player.

He was a top defender for a couple of seasons, although I did think he'd have been better as a ball-winning midfielder. Great goal against Newcastle from miles out. I'll never forget that game v Arsenal (league cup?) where Bergkamp kicked his own leg to make it look like a foul and Willo got a...

Bang on with Hussey, cracking prospect. But it would be nice to have a Clarke-type youngster coming through as backup and to push him, much in the way Clarke offers a genuine alternative to Keogh at RB. If it was just a few games Hussey was out for, I wouldn't have a problem with Wood or Cranie...

Bednar is maybe a possible-he's a neat replacement for King in that he keeps up our reputation as a club that reforms societies rejects. Plus he was linked with us in the past, and I'm pretty sure Thorn has scouted him in the past. Scored plenty of goals at our level, could be a bargain if we...

No, he can't just go where he wants-if he does agree to sign for someone in this country, there'll be compensation, for a start-or that club would maybe make us an offer to avoid tribunal, as we did with Dunn. Didn't a tribunal order to pay 800k for Best when he was pretty unproven at this...

What, bad communication, from our board/owners? I don't believe it..

Whoo-hoo!!!

Blooming hell, Tim Clarke?! Couldn't we do better than that? Shame Oggy couldn't play. But I guess we can't risk him being injured for the big K.O. Marcus, Claus & Telfer look likely to be our best players. And I've never said that before about them :p

I don't think Hussey deserves the injury prone tag. He had one injury last season that kept him out for 2-3 months. Another under Thorn that kept him out for one match. He was fit the rest of the time-Boothroyd in his infinite wisdom chose not to select him. Probably 'cos he isn't tall enough...

Yep, ccfcwal was always bang-on on the CT forum with his team selections. And other stuff too, if I remember correctly. Welcome to the forum mate, you were the most usefull poster ever on the CT one. I never left the house for a game without checking who was playing, and my cynical mate could...

Whatever Ransons judgement in hiring Coleman & Aidy, he also hired Thorn. The utter conviction in his voice that Thorn was the man was unmistakeable. He was as passionate in his tone when he spoke about him as he was filled with disguist when he spoke about SISU. Thorn and Ranson go back years...

Mmm, so he signed a 2 year deal. Didn't we offer him 3?

Hussey is our best crosser by miles. Bell started getting it right towards the end, like pretty much everything he did. Another under-rated player under AT IMO. Keogh clearly really wants to play at RB, as it allows him to attack more freely, wheras Thorn knows he's played at CB for most of...

I'm pretty sure Prozone was not a failing company. They got it as part of the deal with Ranson.

I'm there every week without fail, but if we lose all our good players and sign no-one then my patience will be done. I've been saying it's the last year for ages, but I mean it this time. This is the best manager we've had in a decade, and if he fails due to a lack of support from the owners it...

His goal against Blackburn was good.

Decent when young but hasn't kicked on. Rumours he's a bit lazy/Thorntonesque off the pitch, hence he gets moved on pretty regularly.

Cool, should be about 500k, which is more than I'd hoped for! So that's another months losses covered :)
