We had to take the lower price for Dublin as the price was written into his contract. Pretty sure that's not the case with Gyokores.

Never been to the new ground, but best game I went to at Filbert Street was a 3-0 FA Cup win after I think Boateng was sent off. Worst was a 5-1 defeat after which Gould resigned.

Yes, but not for Gyokores. Even if he happened to stay with us he wouldn't have to come to pre season training for a few more weeks, as he's only just finished international duty.

Scottish crowds interesting there. Were Celtic and Rangers not so big then?

Yes in terms of numbers, but in relation to the League 1 winning season the most influential newcomers on our season came after it had started - O'Hare, Walsh & Godden.

If he absolutely insists on going to Lisbon and 17m is their limit, and so we have to take a price below our own value, then we should try to insist on a 50% sell on clause to make up for it. Unfortunately, I still think this has a few weeks to pan out yet. Gyokores has only just finished his...

As next week is the last week before the players will be back for pre season I would expect some new players to come in before they return. In contrast to Shmmee's fantasy team, the team currently likely to start at Leicester is: Wilson Eccles McFadzean Bidwell Burroughs Hamer Sheaf DaSilva...

When did it start? Am sure they signed O'Dowda from Bristol City last Summer. They also had loan players including Kipre and Kaba, both of whom I'd be happy for us to sign.

I hope Leicester sell Maddison before our game with them. Can see a scenario where he scores the winner but doesn't celebrate, which would wind me up as much as if he did celebrate :)

You will be lucky if 4 of them are in the starting line up on the opening day!

Are they likely to sell out? I guess their PL support might stick with them through their initial year in the Championship!

Yes, you're right. In terms of cup competitions I think he is right to do so in the League Cup, but not the FA Cup. Many of our fans seem happy to travel and pay good money though to watch us in friendlies which are effectively glorified fitness sessions, so I don't see why they wouldn't also go...

Doesn't make us Brummies though!

I thought Wilson was from Sunderland?

Stats can be made to suit any argument and they are not black and white and always require context - otherwise everyone could just use FM ratings to rate players as fact (I know some do!!). The context of those 3 games at the start of the season was that our keeper made about 4 howlers & Fadz...

If you didn't rate Hyam then fair enough, you weren't alone. Using those stats though don't really show anything as these were the games where Moore was playing in goal, making countless errors. To my mind Hyam was a good player for us with a lot of scope to get even better, and was probably...

If he wants to go there isn't much we can do about it if our highest offer to him isn't enough. Such a shame as replacing him is going to be really difficult. The thing I don't want to see is him joining one of the relegated PL teams, and so ends up playing against us next season.

Maybe if the stories of Everton being interested turn out true, we might be able to make Simms part of the deal. They do seem to have their own financial woes though and also doubt as to whether they can/ will meet our asking price, although they might get a windfall from selling Pickford I suppose.

Ideally you are correct, but in terms of loan signings the majority of the best available from the PL won't become apparent until August, once the season is up and running.

Michael McIndoe syndrome!
