    Transfer Rumour Billy Sharp

    Not sure about the truth in this but if Godden moves on someone like Billy Sharp mainly on the bench for 12 months in my opinion could be clever move, don’t care what any of the above doubters say he knows where the back of the net is and in Mark Robins I trust.

    Transfer Rumour Godden off to Derby?

    It sure in the truth in this but we are in for another striker maybe two so from Goddens point of view he probably wouldn’t be happy with his arse on the bench on a regular basis and from the clubs point of view getting a few bob in for him at 31 would be good business.

    SIGNED!!!! - Tatsuhiro Sakamoto

    We have just nicked Leicester City’s first team scout Steve Shea, ironic if this lad puts one over the in-breds.

    Season Tickets!!!

    The way I see it they are going to have to open some of those empty blocks, if we sell 20k+ STs we are likely going to have a number of near sell out home crowds especially if we are seriously challenging. Going on the Brum and Middlesbrough games we could have 3000+ empty seats (I’m assuming 4k...

    Gyokeres

    I would have loved Gyokeres to have stayed and us build a team & squad around him I’m sure we would have been strong promotion candidates, having said that in a way Vik is playing a part in that quest with his £20million transfer fee hopefully funding MRs wish for squad build & playing a part...

    Last summer v this summer

    Can’t compare this time l last season to now. We were only allowed one permanent transfer, Kasey Palmer and he was nowhere near match fit and then it was just loans and some of those were not first choices, this time hopefully it is different.

    What defines a football legend in your eyes ?

    Players seem to move on quicker these days the likes of George Curtis, Mick Kearns, Ronnie Farmer, Brian Hill, Ernie Machin were here most of their careers and climbed to the first division through the divisions. Liam Kelly is our longest serving player and done the same journey. Robbie Keane...

    SIGNED!!!! - Tatsuhiro Sakamoto

    Why would he now leave ? He can see players, good players being signed, he likes it here, so unless there is serious interest from the PL or top end European clubs sure he will sign up and stay. It is dragging on a bit I know but he has travelled to Portugal despite an on going ankle issue so...

    Transfer targets

    Mark Robins has a tough job now in an unusual position for him and seemingly armed with the Gyokeres loot he is starting to draft in his desired players, obviously scouted & monitored we have now got three in and more to come but getting the right ones and they all come off is the key, reckon...

    You will find English very much a second language in the Japanese culture, big American influence in their way of life over there.

    Match Thread Leamington vs Cov U21s

    Think so and way back in the beginnings of Coronation Street Arthur Lowe played Leonard Swindley who ran the shop Gamour garments and was always referring to Mr Papagopalis who owned the shop but was never seen in the show.

    SIGNED!!!! - Tatsuhiro Sakamoto

    You can only look at these clips and think wow what have we got here, skill, pace and a wand of a left foot, of course the hurly burly of the championship is the acid test but looking at these clips this fella won’t be looking at being a bench warmer going to give MR some interesting problems...

    Gyokeres

    Then we have Gyokeres & Simms easily the best strike force in the championship.

    Transfer Rumour Jerry Yates

    He has to have players to knock, last year it started with Ben Wilson but he rammed his early criticism down his throat. Yes

    Do we need a centre mid?

    I like him

    Transfer Rumour Jerry Yates

    Just wondering if Robins was waiting for the Simms transfer to complete before going for Yates, he has been strongly linked for a while and played alongside Simms at Blackpool in their promotion year.

    Gyokeres

    Too early for Rus yet let’s not expect too much too soon. He is a good prospect but lot learn.

    Transfer Rumour Ellis Simms

    Be interesting to see what type of strikers Robins goes for to partner Simms obviously got Godden but with Waghorn and Walker gone imo we need two more.

    Transfer Rumour Ellis Simms

    I’m supposing it was in their division one promotion year, they were a decent team.
