Just because other teams have brought in players doesn't mean they have all strengthened. Many of them will be poorer than the players they have been bought to replace.

Another aspect to why slagging players off on here is counter productive, is that it is inconceivable to think that some players brought up in this digital era dominated by Social Media don't come on here to see what's written about them, regardless of whether the club advise them to or not. It...

There is obviously a chance he might, but the PL and most European leagues haven't started yet so plenty of time for injuries etc to concentrate minds come deadline week. Might not be the worst thing for us to keep him until the January window anyway, when teams are notoriously desperate in...

Why isn't our squad good enough? The same players finished 5th last season. With the addition of Rushworth we are arguably stronger. Selling Rudoni and starting again with limited time left for us to act before the transfer window closes is a sure fire way to stop any hopes of promotion. His...

The O'Hare stuff was pantomime booing really. I would be very disappointed with it if it happens this season. In regard to the applause for Palmer I think it was a reaction to a bit of initial booing by some of the crowd, as happened when Maddison came on for Spurs against us last season. If I...

There would only be a meltdown if he was good for us. They would love it if he turned out to be another Steve Walsh though, and would no doubt be referring to him as 'Agent Vardy'.

Yes, but it also presents us the best opportunity to blood young players like Perry, Andrews and Obikwu in a competitive match and see how they shape up without it going wrong and costing us points in the league. There is also the chance of having one of our important players injured in what is...

As per always I'm happy to play a second string team in the League Cup, but want full strength teams in the FA Cup, as the importance, prestige and capacity to make money out of both is chalk and cheese. To me the lower price of admission compensates for those upset at paying to watch an under...

Shame you can't also transfer your points accrued for buying the ticket to whoever you sell it onto though ;)

Wright, Simms and even Bassette are bigger than Ayew!

Yes the Bobby Mac thing was bizarre. He played the 1st game of the season at Birmingham when the whole team were pants and was then dropped in favour of Brian Roberts, and didn't get another look in until he was sold. If you put him and Hutch into the team that played the League Cup semi final...

I presume you mean in the village where you live? I can't picure the inhabitants of the populous communes in Paris and Marseille donning their hunting gear for a weekend jaunt :)

Vik was 6-1 and Haji 16-1, so the double was 118-1. I put on two £5 singles and a £5 each way double. So £20 outlay for a possible payout of about £770 should they both come in :)

Ok, can only say as I saw. Clearly Jekyll and Hyde!

Depends on outgoings, but I'll go for 3 more before the deadline made up of a centre back, a wide right attacking player and if Bassette leaves a forward.

Heart over head but I've bet an each way double on Vik/ Haji to be division top scorers, which I'm hoping isn't lost by the end of August through us selling Wright :eek:

The FIFA/ Football Manager generation are never going to be happy unless we are making 8 signings every Summer. Occasionally clubs do recruit like that (Birmingham and Wrexham this Summer for example) but there are no guarantees it will work out for them. In reality though, unless we lose Rudoni...

Do you know this as fact? I know things turned out badly for him but it doesn't tie in with the lad I occasionally saw in the Wyken Club during his time with us. Granted I can't say I knew him well but he certainly didn't seem the type at that time to give it the big I am. As for Grendel's...

Unless they take under £15m they won't be making a loss! As the end of the transfer deadline nears and the games of bluff between buyers and sellers comes to a head we'll have a better idea of course. Hamer doesn't seem the type to actively push for a move by causing a stink, but Sheffield still...

For some reason you have always had a downer on Hamer, and as we all know once your mind is made there is no changing it. Even in Hamer's final season with us when he had sorted his disciplinary issues out and stepped up another level you would not credit him for it. I presume on the basis that...
