Ruben definitely wanted to go to Swindon but wasn't allowed to leave by Russel Slade who ironically didn't play him much Not sure about Haynes

It could be that as he's been in the job since the Premier League days he was still on Premier League terms I don't know it for sure but virtually all companies who hit hard times look to cut costs. High earners are vulnerable in those circumstances Several of our highest earning players have...

Actually Nick some players are aware of this and are now having family members represent them. This is now possible since 'agents' changed to 'intermediaries' a couple of years ago That way there is no hidden agenda or ramping of demands Reading autobiographies of players from the recent past...

I suspect this lad could end up as a defensive midfielder Quick, tenacious and brave as a lion. His lack of height wouldn't be a problem in that role Be interesting to see him tried out there in pre season

To be honest the difference between now and last season is that we are getting players in for League 2 level who are hopefully capable of winning promotion to League 1 TM was trying for players capable of winning promotion to the Championship As others have posted in other threads the difference...

Seen him play quite a bit. Commanding, powerful, tough, leader type with a kick like a mule Exactly what we need in League 2

Jones on nothing like that He joined as an 18 year old to learn his trade None of our young players are on big money

The owner's position in the past has sometimes been that the bidder(s) haven't provided evidence of funds Perhaps this is the new bidders using the media to counteract that argument to force the owners to agree to a meeting However if negotiations do start they will want a lot more evidence...

He hammered JJ in his first game for Daggers as a 17 year old. Got booked of course

I wonder if this is why Laura Hunter departed? She tweeted a message about being fed up with one-upmanship

Apparently Mark Robins has told him he can look for another club as he won't be getting first team games for the foreseeable future What would any of us do in those circumstances?

And Jones Players from non League cost a fraction of what you have to pay for guys from League clubs

It's her sister Jackie who died

Being an eternal optimist I had £20 at 16-1 on us to win League One before last season started That didn't go as well as I'd hoped obviously...........

I think this is likely. Some players were offered deals but either they declined or asked for more time to consider so the offer was withdrawn. A small number of players who signed last year have contracts that include reduction in wages if we were relegated These clauses usually allow the...

I guess they would have seen him while watching Agyei play for us earlier in the season Not sure if they played together very often but their scouts would have been aware of Thomas even before his flowering in the second half of the season

Most of our squad are on a lot less basic wages than people on here are speculating even in League 1 Very few will be on £1000 per week Probably the biggest earners last season were senior guys like Reid, Sordell and Turnball Some of those deals might have reductions now we have been relegated...

The problem was even more complicated Some players - like Gadzhev for example had deals that meant a large part of their wages were paid as appearance fees I suspect once the season started TM was asked to keep the weekly costs down by not picking certain players And of course the bonus system...

It's much more likely to be the best guys from non-League and smaller League 2 teams. Guys who are desperate for a chance
