Was David Smith not a winger then? Plenty of youtube footage to confirm he was, particularly from the start of his career before he lost his confidence playing under shit managers like Butcher who preferred him to play safety first.

There's about 5 weeks left to bring them all in. The best PL loans will not be available until after the season starts and for the sake of a couple of weeks I would rather we bring in better quality than just bring in inferior players to pan out our squad in time for the Leicester game. Would be...

A really top player, and always came across as a nice guy. Often wonder how our fortunes might have worked out if we had signed him instead of Forest.

If home fans can pay on the gate there is no way they will turn anyone away unless you are acting like an arse.

He's probably good on Football Manager. I'm sure many of the wannabee ITK's make up their rumours from that source.

Would be a great signing, and a real signal of intent if we did bring him in. Simms and Maja could be a real strong pairing, and with Godden as back up I would be very happy with our forward line. Must temper that with the likelihood that this rumour is likely to be baseless though!

I presume Southgate won't be picking him for England anymore then!!

As Shmmee has commented McNally was part of the defence that fell apart in Fadz's absence last season. Although he was otherwise excellent for us in the right centre back position, I think Hyam is physically stronger of the two and therefore much more suited to a central role. Its pretty much a...

McNally was better of the two for us as a right sided centre half, but as a possible replacement for Fadz in the central role then Hyam would have been a better option, and this was the role I think MR saw him moving into in due course before he was sold from under him. I think we are unlikely...

If Wilson is still here and fit he will start.

None of that changes any of the points made in my post. His performance history so far has been underwhelmimg stats wise. 1 goal in a Championship season is very poor particularly. The teams interested in him are those likely to be fighting relegation, and in need of players that can hit the...

Scott has always looked promising when I've seen him, but I've not seen him dominate a game like Hamer has done in the Championship. A £22m fee for a player with potential seems very risky for the clubs reported to be interested in him, when his output hasn't yet got near to matching his...

He's just signed a new long term contract! Suggest you take a look at his goal scoring record too :) Cutting costs doesn't automatically mean a firesale, which is a conclusion many on here are jumping too. They've signed 3 players already this Summer, and a quick look at their message board...

Ha ha ok. Heard that Bill Glazier, Oggy and Lee Burge used to like a few pre match bevvies in the Rose and Crown so makes perfect sense!!

Surely Stein had long left us before McDonald played for us?

Every manager does, including the 'Greats'! Gould's success rate in finding us top players was second to none though, even if he himself didn't have the capability to make a successful team out of them beyond the first half of a season being in charge.

To be fair the one thing the 'idiot' Gould was good at was finding hidden gems, bringing the likes of Pearce, Peake, Gynn, Bennett, Gibson, Ogrizovic and Babb to join us. Gayle wasn't his most inspired signing though :)

It's a prediction, but not a safe prediction. This time last year most people thought Norwich were the 'safe' prediction! Many people on here also thought that Kompany's inexperience and wholesale changes to Burnley's playing style would adersely affect them and that they would struggle - I...

After the game has finished yes, but otherwise best to feign indifference, before and during the match.

Dele Alli was probably the most comparable talent to have left a League 1 club before that, and according to Wikipedia he transferred to Spurs for an intial £5.5m.
