    The importance of wingers is demonstrated by the one period we looked like turning the screw on Hull was when EMC had a 10-15m patch where he was running at his man, taking him on and shooting/crossing. We don’t have that and didn’t have it when he came off. It’s boring that we’re talking...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Hull City Match Thread - Saturday 9th Aug

    Overall, the performance wasn’t terrible, we were comfortably the better side but there was the feeling that is was ‘same old’ from last season and struggled to breakdown stubborn opposition. Thought it was strange that EMC went off in the first place but assume he’s either got a niggle or...

    Just about every Prem-Prem transfer has inflated fees. What other league in the world means clubs do not "need" to sell matchday tickets to be viable? For context, the 'average' Prem team gets more than double in TV money compared to their counterparts in Spain and Italy. That figure is over 3...

    Jack Rudoni

    Depends if there's any 'ready made' replacements in the pipeline. Rudoni was involved in 33% of our goals last season so selling him for £20m (for arguments sake) at this moment probably derails the start of our season. To a similar extent to which Hamer leaving post-Wimbledon in 23/24. For...

    Probably wouldn't have got that if they were in the Championship still. My bad, I thought he went for 32 million pounds rather than Euros. I like Jobe Bellingham and sincerely hope he follows in Jude's footsteps, it'd be fantastic for the national team.

    Jack Rudoni

    The 'English tax' isn't on English players, it's the cost of dealing with English clubs. We all bemoan Sky at times, but their money has supercharged the Premiership clubs financials as the TV money is distributed equally, which isn't the norm in the other elite leagues globally. In countries...

    How much did Jobe Bellingham go for this summer? Brentford sold Benrahma for £30m a few years back. Rudoni is a talented midfielder who is critical to our promotion bid and will be ready for the Prem in 1-2 seasons. Most importantly, has 3 years left on his current contract. We should be...

    Transfer Rumour Charlie Hughes

    Thankfully, the squad is in a far better position than in the L1 years. We've spent a lot of money on the squad over the last 2 seasons so Lampard will need to work with a lot of the existing squad. The starting 11 is clearly good enough for the Top 6 so we're in the privileged position where...

    Transfer Rumour MVE to Wolfsburg

    I haven’t been to any of the preseason games so didn’t know that. It was something that’s been done quite a lot. Lampard likes the 3-2-5 overload and if KKH and Brau can push up and give us more goals and assists, I’m all for it. KKH played as a WB a lot last season so he’s capable of getting...

    Transfer Rumour MVE to Wolfsburg

    In fairness to MVE, his 'expected assists' was 7 which was more than most our outfielders. His defensive stats were good, but KKH's were better. Could probably do with adding goals to his game, you look at what Firpo and Bogle were able to last season for Leeds. In fact, we've never seen an MVE...

    Transfer Rumour MVE to Wolfsburg

    I don’t believe the fee is £6.5m, he’s got 2 years on his contract and is 24 years old. It’s not a terrible price with the add-on but isn’t good either when you bear in mind what we got for Vik and Hamer with 1 year left in their contracts.

    Transfer Rumour MVE to Wolfsburg

    At the very least, he's a better defender. MVE is overall a better attacking threat but KKH is younger and has developed rapidly so we've not done badly at all. Not quite the same comparison, but when Brentford replaced Watkins with Toney, it was a "downgrade" but everything worked out fine for...

    Transfer Rumour MVE to Wolfsburg

    For sure. Probably a situation like Hamer in 23/24 where he told the club he wanted to leave and we allowed it but at the right price. KKH wouldn’t have came to us if he was going to be competing with another player all season for a starting berth.

    Where will we finish

    4th or 5th. We finished 9 points off 4th after a slow start. A lot of people have written off a lot of our players and this season I’m optimistic they’ll come good staying injury-free and a good preseason working with Lampard and his team. I’d like 2-3 more players to be added before the...

    Transfer Rumour MVE to Wolfsburg

    As soon as we signed KKH, it was inevitable the club had allowed MVE to move on. KKH is too good to be sat behind MVE for a season and is arguably better than him right now. Personally, MVE shades it but KKH is younger and probably has a higher ceiling. If we get the fee we want for MVE...

    Our strikers……

    That’s not what this ‘debate’ is about. It’s actually about what’s a higher priority in terms of where we need improve. I’ve been consistent in saying that we’ve got a top championship striker on the books and it’s actually our wingers where need more goals. Haji Wright starts for all the teams...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    I’m optimistic Torp will have a good season this year. He stepped up massively in the 5-3-2 days and was unfortunate with injuries. If he can improve in his goals and assists, he’ll be a starter. More long range shooting and passing from deep is what this team can miss at times.

    Our strikers……

    First and foremost, you play your best players in their positions. Haji is our best striker and he shouldn’t need to Second point, 24/25 is an outlier for BTA and Simms so the club aren’t just going to pivot and sign a new striker to sit behind Haji. The priority of the club is to find a way to...
