Paying a fee for Collins seemed a bit ‘off’ when I first seen the rumour for a sub GK. He’s v highly rated by the management so it wouldn’t surprise me to see him starting the season in goal. £3-5m for Wilson is fantastic value and if it means we can strengthen our outfield options, it’s a...

The Belgian league ‘expert’ they had on the CET after we signed Sakamoto seems to think his natural position is RB (presumably wing back). Latibeaudiere seems to be able to play CB, RB and LB based on his spell at Swansea. It’s fair to say that we’re building a cross-functional team where...

It could be both. Sakamoto is a left footer who can play WB, AM - so gives us options at LWB, RWB and AM. Palmer has a history of injuries, COH is recovering from an ACL and Allen out for the foreseeable with his illness. Sakamoto will probably start the season as an AM.

How funny would it be if we sign him and he gets a winner against Sunderland? Imagine the meltdown on their forum/social media!

If anyone could spare a ticket for a peasant on 850 points, that would be appreciated! If you don’t ask, you don’t get! 😅

Thank you for the offer! I’ll be in touch as it’ll be nice have someone to go to matches with being so far away. I’ll check out Burnham and a few other places - I’ve had a lot of suggestions since the job offer!

We needed a second starting calibre striker as Walker was our top scorer that season and Godden was out for about half the season. With Gyokeres, Walker and Godden in the team, I do think it made sense to add some experience. Waghorn’s haul of 5 or 6 goals for Derby the season before was...

Give peace a chance… ✌🏻 ☮️

I’ve got an offer to move down near Langley for work so looking for somewhere close by to live - I’ve briefly looked at Reading. I have my season ticket so will be travelling up to games. Count me in! Any recommendations on nice areas?

I don’t think Sakamoto was signed to be our first choice RWB. It’s likely that we’ve signed him to play in the box and either side of the WB slots. It’s a long season so having a player who can play WB and in the box is important.

I don’t blame him! Last summer our recruitment was light years from where we are this season. We signed Palmer on a permanent and that was it. With that in mind, last season was a miracle! This season we’ve spent money on 5 out of 6 signings with a further 9 to come! MR wasn’t bullshitting when...

I was never advocating signing Gallagher - I don’t know enough him. What I am commenting on generally, is that Godden’s stock is going down and he increasingly doesn’t look like a good fit for our style of play. Robins yesterday was banging on about speed on the ball. Godden often struggles to...

Why so arsey? Someone has woke up in a bad mood. If Championship teams like QPR, Ipswich or a L1 contender like Derby have genuine interest in him… you need to account for the possibility Godden may not want to be a squad player in his contract year. Especially if you’re going to be rude in...

Godden’s record without penalties last season was 1 in 5.75 games which is worst than a player you called ‘pretty wank’ (1 in 4.25 games).

If Godden had longer on his contract, he definitely stays to fulfill that role. If we can get £500-750k (or more somehow), it’s a move potentially in all parties favours: - we get a money for a player who’ll be 32 upon expiry of contract - Godden gets a relatively big contract for a potential...

It’s only a small difference, but Godden takes our penalties and his ratio isn’t as strong when you factor that into his record. Gallagher as far as I can see isn’t a penalty taker. How much is the quote for Gallagher? If it’s more than £2.5m, I’d be very surprised we were not more aggressive...

Given the turnover of players we’ve had, we’re going to be undervalued by the bookies.

Why is he ‘pretty wank?’ I can’t see Godden being a starter after our transfer business is complete. He hit some really good form in our second Championship season but either side of that was struggle with injuries or form.

Sam Gallagher has consistently got a 1 in 4-5 game ratio in Championship. Would it really be that bad a signing?

We’ve changed the way we play to be more direct and from my POV, it’s a bit difficult to see where Godden fits in. He’s a great poacher and works hard for the team but his impact is limited. Personally, it feels like a good time to cash in if we’ve got options lined up.
