He looks like an exciting player, I just wonder if League One is just a step too far for him. I suppose MR will probably take a view on him during pre-season.

Ponti had bad luck last season with injury so I wouldn't write him off just yet. I still think a full season under his belt would genuinely kick start his career so I think he should go on loan - perhaps to a national league side for 6 months to see how he gets on. Yeah I think whether Brown...

Agreed. I have a feeling before a striker comes in we'll need to get rid of a few to make room in the budget - assuming we're looking to invest in an established striker that is. Ponticelli: Loaned out Bakayoko/Chaplin: I'm guessing one of the two will be sold Allassani: Probably moved on...

It's not as easy as that I'm afraid. SISU and the club would have to sign off on demands that are simply impossible to agree to - demands that threaten damaging consequences not only to the club, but to its own employees as well. The issue at hand in this scenario is with Wasps. If they soften...

Very unlikely as I think he’s off to Forest or Blackburn. The only stumbling block is that Whelan wants a two year contract if reports are to be believed - club’s apparently are only willing to offer him one year.

Rubbish. Whelan is off to either Blackburn or Forest according to reports.

Willis is as good as gone and I can see Thompson probably being loaned out. That leaves 4 senior CB's and 2 development CB's. Think that's about right to be honest.

I've not read anything that suggests he can/or ever has played at RB? He can either play at CDM or CB according to his West Ham profile.

I have to admit, CT articles where Badlan has discussed his processes are hugely informative. Certainly a change from their usual drivel.

I don't think Grendal's that relevant?

I think we've been linked with him in the past but Macaulay Bonne is set to move to Charlton after his release clause was met. Apparently it was only £200K. Amazed we didn't put in a bid last summer.

Makes sense. Not a lot of point in bringing in two out and out RB's when realistically Dabo is set to be first choice. You'll just end up with another Grimmer situation where the player is frustrated - plus it's a waste of funds. I'm guessing we'll probably look to bring in a development player...

I'd be fairly surprised if we brought Blackman in as he doesn't fit MR's ethos at all. Plus, his injury record over the course of his career is sketchy to say the least.

I feel that now the incident has been advertised so heavily online and on social media, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for club to retain him. CCFC shouldn’t be influenced by external forces and should come to its own decisions but now this has been reported nationally I feel the club have...

I find it amazing that you passed considering after a degree you still believe he’ll be absolutely fine after two ACL ruptures and two years without playing consistently but I’ll let that slide. You’ve jumped the gun and are making assumptions. I’ve not said there aren’t worse injuries, nor have...

Haven’t heard such crap? You clearly either have no understanding of injuries or have never played sport. Wilson didn’t injure the same knee twice so get your facts straight first before mouthing off. Equally he was already established as a player. Jones was in form for about 3 months before his...

How do you know it was off his own back?

Last season when Jones came back he was hardly firing at all cylinders was he and that was well over a year after the initial injury? So what expectations do you honestly have when his development has been hindered for two years. Can you imagine not doing your job for two years then coming back...

Two new signings? You do realise to recover both physically and mentally Jones won’t be back until at least January. Even that would be a push considering by then he wouldn’t have played on a consistent basis for two years? There’s no guarantees Jones will be the same player he was during that...

Overall it’s roughly comparable to League One standards. Some of the teams at the top end of the league certainly wouldn’t struggle in the Championship though. So it’s probably a mix of the two really.
