    Ostigard

    The other thing that influences me is the transient nature and churn of modern football. All the players with the potential for significant growth that we sold after a half decent season like Wilson, Maddison, Bayliss, McCallum. It'd just be nice to go on that development journey with them for...

    Ostigard

    In many ways an old school, blood and guts, throw your body on the line defender which will have resonated with many older fans. A passionate, at times intimidating, 21 year old who improved more than any of our own defenders over the course of the season and has the potential to carry on that...

    21/22 Summer transfer mega-thread

    I remember the incident, just not what he done to it subsequently e.g. whether it was operated or just rested.

    21/22 Summer transfer mega-thread

    Kelly is a slow starter at the best of times when he's back from injury so without a pre-season in him, my hopes of him being ready any time soon are low. I've missed what he had done? Was it a planned operation?

    Can't wait to be discussing Robins clueless negative tactics and how shit our players are, instead of these seemingly endless days of idle transfer speculation!

    Coventry City Transfer Disappointments

    Eoin Jess' transfer stands out for similar reasons. We managed to devalue him by 100k a month during his brief time with us!

    Coventry City Transfer Disappointments

    Apart from some of the more obvious ones already mentioned, I was gutted we moved Aloisi on when we got relegated.

    Attendances Next Season

    I'm also in the 'need to do more with the pricing' camp. I think they should be doing loads more with the ticket options and prices to get people in the door who might not ordinarily go, with a view to getting them going more regularly, and 30 quid walk up is not going to do that. Conversely...

    Transfer Rumour Ian Maatsen

    18 year old playing his first season in men's football. I wouldn't be too worried by that.

    21/22 Summer transfer mega-thread

    I think the windows are hard to compare under Robins without the context of the fall and rise of the club during that time and the associated increases in budget that comes with promotion. In L2, despite relegation, we were still a big fish in a small pond. That's 3 of the 5 seasons. I suppose...

    Bakayoko

    I remember watching his first interview when he signed, and just watched his Bolton video too. Seems like a nice guy who has learned all the right things to say but it's so monotone and devoid of passion. I think that carries over into his game. Has learned how to be a decent footballer but...

    I would be happy for Hyam and Rose to battle it out for RCB. LCB and LWB would be by far my biggest priorities and if we do sign Ostigard it would be to battle McFadz for his place.

    NOT a transfer Rumour - Andy Carroll

    We haven't. And the success of the last 5 years have vindicated that approach, which is exactly what he means.

    Transfer Rumour Denver Hume

    Wasn't sure if i was bang on or inadvertently ended up being the inspiration.

    NOT a transfer Rumour - Andy Carroll

    Has had something like 3 seasons from 15 where he has made more than 30 appearances.

    Transfer Rumour Denver Hume

    Surprised no-one has started a thread yet to see if we think Andy Carroll is worth a punt, with the usual caveat of wages possibly being an issue. Seems to be about the level of nonsense on here recently!
