JDS, Allen and Bidwell have been good servants for us. They played a big part on us getting where we are now but since the Gyokeres and Hamer money they have become bit part players that have always given 100% whenever called upon. You can't fault any of them for that. They are still good...

The problem is he may be a big prospect but he isn't ready to play in the Prem. The bigger the Prem club the lower down the pecking order he would be. Would he end up having to go out on loan to continue getting experience? If he went to Ipswich he would be going to a very good side. We've...

More because of potential than anything. If he is worth £20m what value would they put on Rudoni?

Not so sure myself. Going from an also run team to a side that will most probably be strong contenders for promotion and a big payrise if correct.

Believe it when I see it. More like £8m to £10m for MVE. Interest from Ipswich for Hackney could well be true. But he isn't worth £20m unless someone is willing to pay that for him.

A big part of being captain is helping to organise where the players should be. A CM is perfect as they are in the middle of all the players and have a good view of what's going on.

Which is what I said. If you need to replace several players it isn't much. We already have a good side. A couple more good players in certain positions would make us very strong. Rushworth and KKH are excellent signings. We don't know what funds we have or who if anyone we have lined up. We...

It's a paltry sum if you're trying to build a side to get promotion to the Prem but we're after strengthening what we already have. That's enough for a signing like KKH.

I'm surrounded by several different European nationalities. Most Swedes, Dutch and Belgians speak very good English. They don't even need thought time after several beers. The vocal part is exactly that. You need to be vocal in goal otherwise you end up going for the same ball or even both...

At last someone who agrees with my thoughts for the coming season. He might not be right about every player but the majority of it is correct. And on the clubs I put Ipswich as stronger than he says but agree with the rest. We're an established Championship side with players that would cost a...

Although these two posts seem to contradict each other I agree with both. Yes BTA looked dangerous at times. He can be unstoppable on the ball. It's his end product that let's him down most of the time. Sometimes he doesn't pass to an unmarked player. Sometimes he tries a pass when shooting...

We may not beat them very often but at least we finish above them lately. I'm happy with that.

To me the biggest question is Wright keeping fit. He hasn't been right most of the time since his injury. He still isn't right just 2 weeks before the season starts. And when he is back he will be behind everyone else with match fitness.

I'm not so sure he wasn't the first choice manager or very close to it. They had to mortgage their remaining Prem money before they could afford to get rid of van Nistlelrooy. Cifuentes was on gardening leave after talking to WBA about their vacancy. He didn't get the job. QPR then received...

There's a long way to go yet. We have over a month before we even know who could be sold. The only 2 players we know 100% we will start with are KKH and Rushworth. It wouldn't surprise me if Robins came in for a player or two.

Do you remember the game against Sunderland? Only a natural, clinical striker would put a performance in like that.

There were times Wright went to the left and EMC then went to the middle during attacks. There was also a few times they got in each others way. But as they played more it happened less. This will be sorted out on the training ground and with game time.

Robins played Wright on the left. He got the sack for our poor results. Lampard plays him in the middle. Lampard is said to be a much better manager. But what makes me laugh is those who say we don't need another striker but we need another winger. Then they say we should play our only striker...

I fully agree. We don't know how any side will look by September 1st. Sides you would expect to be near the top will change. Sheffield United don't look very strong but they will bring in some loans minimum. Birmingham should be in the top half but they have more questions than answers. Will...

Of course. You've already seen the stats. So same question. Do we play him on the left instead of EMC or do we play him in the middle and EMC on the left? We've gone back to this subject where Wright was supposed to be left footed so that was a reason to play him on the left. Remember the...
