Looks like his agents are working hard for him.

But you haven't seen his video clips yet!!

Pace isn't everything - McFadzean has been a good example for him in how to adapt your game so that the weakness doesn't become critical. Drysdale's strengths are his comfort on the ball and the ability to see and execute a pass, which gives him the potential to be successful at our level. This...

This pre season is like no other before so no point really comparing previous seasons given the financial circumstances brought about by Covid. Most Championship clubs will not want to spend big on wages, while players & their agents will obviously still try to get as much as they can. That...

It's amazing how clearly people's prejudices shine through on here. If people read beyond the 1st sentence they might see that I was actually critical of Shipley and his performances last season! The one thing he has always had though is a sweet left foot, which I would have thought even you...

Disagree that Shipley doesn't have ability. He has as good a left foot as you'll find in the Championship, but unfortunately last season that wasn't enough to compensate for a lack of fitness, strength and confidence, which apart from a couple of instances led to him having a very disappointing...

Did you not see how we played when the St Andrews pitch cut up last season? Playing out from the back became difficult and we had to adapt to a more direct style, where Biamou was then used as a target man. I have little doubt that as next season progresses our pitch will also have its problems...

You didn't read Samo's post to which I was replying then where he was bemoaning the fact that we are the 'only' club doing this. Incidentally most of the signings made by the others are dross. I would rather we sign the right players than just getting people in for the sake of it.

Are we the only club doing this? Remind me who Blackburn, Bournemouth, Derby, Fulham, Forest, Reading, Sheff Utd and West Brom have signed?

Nick was always desperate for him to play :)

If we had been in the market for wingers he is one I would have liked us to have shown interest in. Still very few players signed by other Championship clubs that I would have liked us to sign though.

Shrewsbury Town :)

Pretty sure it was McAllister's debut too!

Remember the last time we played Forest first game of the season - was a bit of a disaster 😧

I view myself as having a 'glass half empty' view of CCFC, probably as a means of coping with the many disappointments that usually come with supporting a football club, but you're taking it to a whole new level. In respect of Badlan, I would point out that the majority of signings made by all...

There are very few players bought so far by other Championship clubs that would have significantly improved us, with the majority being distinctly average. While Badlan will undoubtedly be on the case, MR and any players we are likely to be interested in signing will be on holiday at the moment...

Phil Masinga spotted at KFC. Must have been the the first of the 'in the know' internet message board rumours alongside those from Jim the Gateman, a kind of precursor to the recent Bristol City 3 & Gilmour rumours. Not the last to be completely wrong though :)

Ha ha yes. We did end up with Ashley Grimes instead though 😧 Another one that came back to me was when Dave Sexton became manager and we were rumoured to be signing Mike Duxbury & Steve Coppell.

When Bobby Gould was manager his first signing looked like it would be Mick Fillery from Chelsea but he chose QPR instead.

Yes Waddle came down from the North East with Ray Gooding who we signed instead. Staying on the Charlton theme from the Lee Bowyer days am sure about the same time we were also reported to be in for Richard Rufus.
