I'd always keep Eccles and Lati as squad players. In the Championship top players are not going to be happy warming the bench, so you just have to accept that squad players are inferior. The only argument is just how inferior? Da Silva, Lati and Eccles make the cut, Collins and Wilson don't...

Do we underestimate just how desperate Frank Lampard was for a job?

Is the pace hotting up finally? Vik money / Rushworth loan / Sheaf out / MVE out Love us to lose a goalkeeper, get a centre half and buy this Peirera guy Don't share the obsession with strikers

2 out of 2 ain't bad

team of strangers.... Worked for Jimmy Hill in 1963 - five new forwards Worked for Bobby Gould in 1983 - a whole new frigging team

This must be a case of buy in and sell for a chunky quick profit in 12 months. We are collecting goalies like we used to collect centre halves

We definitely need a real aggressive hard tackling midfielder although it was not top priority by a long chalk if we are staying within our budget. Evidence, if it wasn't there before, that transfers are usually about the deal rather than a rigid list of priorities

It's a waste of valuable money to have a 3m player on the bench. And what player who is good enough to attract that kind of fee is prepared to come here and be on the bench. I can see Eccles as bench material but not this guy. On a separate note, much as I like a lot of what he brings to...

An incomprehensible comment. 1. Saddle has indicated that DK has a 5 year plan and then he is off, almost regardless 2. He's a hedge fund manager by experience - that is his skill set - he's applying the model to us, just a lot more cleverly than SISU 3. We are still relatively modest...

The point you are missing is that Bloom and Benham have put shitloads in, well more than I suspect DK has at his disposal. For DK the framework is not that he is a rich fan. He bought a distressed asset at bottom dollar and hopes with a relatively modest amount of investment to sell it on at a...

Could it be the case that unwanted goalkeepers are not that easy to be rid of. One reason is that they will not want a pay cut (moore).

I wondered that. It always struck me that while highly plausible, SB's description of the state of play was very precise although there was still a lot of time to go. Hence I thought it might be expectations management on the part of the Club. Maybe instead it was a deliberate attempt to flush...

The leak to saddlebrains reaks of expectations management I have to say. Overly precise

No it's not

One of torp's best skills is the robbing tackle

Trouble is funding 5 divisions full time is unaffordable without money from the Prem clubs. Germany only has two. And the Prem clubs increasingly feel less inclined to the charity of helping fund the lower leagues from their TV money. And you can see why. They draw very few players from the...

I read that as buffoon which completely changed the meaning....

This is what people say when there is a mismatch between what ITK's are saying and what they as fans dream about. Strikes me that SB's info fits in with the known facts. We have bought two defenders to deal with the number 1 weakness. We have not sold a player since Hamer, but brought several...

Absolutely nobody is perfect, so "Trust in (fill in name)" is a little bit daft. They will cock up at some point, in fact to have some cock ups is a good thing. Americans recognize the need for failure, Brits tend not to. But as soon as you say "trust in" you are saying in effect, that there...
