When he came on at Exeter he immediately looked the best player on the park. I'm sure he's fit enough! If he doesn't play it will be for other reasons.

The goalie when I first saw us in 1972. He was a very athletic keeper and made spectacular dives that always looked good in photographs.

All reports I've read about Simms is that he is much better with a partner up front. He is a very different player to Gyokores and would not be able to cover the ground that he did as a lone forward while still providing a goal threat. I therefore also believe Godden will start, even if we bring...

From what I understand it appears he has been offered a much higher salary by someone through his agent, hence rejecting our contract offer. It is not in Hamer & his agent's interest to start a bidding war as the lower the transfer fee the better deal he can probably command, so I don't think...

What's the consensus if a Championship club like Leeds or Leicester offer say £7m, but a PL club only offer say £5m? Should we sell to the highest bidder even if it results in making one our direct rivals next season much stronger?

We really don't know who's after him!

I tend to agree. Unfortunately the PL clubs reportedly interested (Burnley/ Luton) will not want to spend the money we will be looking for. We might have better luck if the likes of Forest or Wolves come in for him though, but at the moment this has all the looks of a protracted saga, and could...

I was thinking loan rather than permanent signings. 30m for Doyle does indicate how difficult replacing Hamer will be if we end up selling him at a cut price fee.

If Hamer's available he plays.

Anyone any idea what Man City's plans are for Doyle & McAtee who did so well at Sheff U last season?

It kind of depends how much bidding clubs are offering though. If it was for arguments sake £3m we might be better off keeping him for the season and risking him walking away on a free in 12 months time. £10m+ though, then yes we would be stupid not to cash in if he won't sign a new contract.

He looked pretty similar when I saw him play for MK Dons (box to box player, takes set pieces, scores goals), but even if not we need to replace Hamer we would need someone impactful like Twine.

Where do we think Sakamoto fits into our team? On today's evidence we would leave ourselves wide open defensively if we play him at WB against Championship quality teams, and he doesn't look big enough or strong enough to start in midfield. It is only first impressions I know but it strikes me...

He will be near impossible to replace realistically. The best I can think of that we might have a shot at signing is Scott Twine, but for the moment I will cling on to the hope that Hamer will stay for one more season with us.

Having seen todays game I would have thought Wilson will start if fit, with the back 3 the same. I can't believe MR will play our wing backs so far forward at Leicester, and I think Van Ewijk and Bidwell are a more solid option than Sakamoto and Da Silva. Please don't sell Hamer as we are so...

Psycho Killer

If this is true hopefully a good foil for Simms. Think we will definitely be playing 2 up front this season.

Got a feeling he will start on the bench, as do many versatile players.

Dare I mention Leigh Jenkinson?

That's an exception rather than the rule. How many other PL loans have so far joined Championship clubs that we would have wanted?
