    Transfer Rumour Brandon Thomas-Asante

    Well, there are people thinking Sakamoto is starting ahead of EMC (£4.25m), Simms (£8m) or Wright (£9m)… Joking aside, £2-3m for a sub striker who’s 25 with a good record at Championship level is a bargain. You’d easily spend that on a top end L1 player. We’ve also weakened WBA in the process...

    Transfer Rumour Brandon Thomas-Asante

    He wouldn’t because he’s not being brought in be our number one striker. Scoring 11 goals last season shows he’s good enough to contribute. Compared to Obikwu who scored 3 in 16 at L2 level (and needs a loan to continue his development).

    What about our Leaky Defence ?

    I don’t think we’ll get a CB and a RB, it’ll be one or the other. Assuming BTA signs, I agree that’s attack sorted and a CM is need to boost the ranks.

    Front 3 vs Stoke

    Wright-Simms-EMC if Wright is close to being fit enough. He probably won’t be unless he get minutes against Roma and Werder Bremen. His base fitness and match will be higher than most of the squad as he was involved in the Copa America.

    Yes and Robins will still have his best team that he will fall back on. The big benefit of having a big team is being able to rotate player in game. Last season, the issue was more the amount of minutes rather than the number of games we played yesterday. Sakamoto played nearly every minute in...

    Top scorer and assister last with double Sakamoto’s tallies. A lot of fans aren’t ready to accept he’s not going to be one of our best players season.

    To put it candidly, it’s an area we’re still lacking in quality. Obviously. People were talking as if EMC just cannot play RW which isn’t true. Going into this season, there isn’t enough goals in midfield (even if Rudoni met his xG from last season) to drop either Wright or Simms and EMC is...

    No. If EMC takes his L1 form into the Championship, he’s starting ahead of Sakamoto. Wright and Simms scored 19 goals apiece last season, they’re both nailed on starters. I agree that Sakamoto is class, the other players mentioned are also class, classier.

    We’ll see. EMC played RW and LW an equal amount before he went to P’boro. MR will have a plan how to get everyone involved. My personal opinion is that Sakamoto will make a great impact sub. A player with his trickery, pace and energy levels will be nightmarish for tiring defences.

    If we got to the Prem, that’ll probably be plan. You’re not subbing either Simms or Wright who scored 19 apiece in their first Championship season nor a winger in EMC who got double figure goals and assists. Sakamoto hasn’t shown that kind of form to date. Robins and his staff will figure it...

    We definitely still need 3 players minimum. We’ve looked good v Everton, from what I’ve seen but we’re probably further a long our prep which may explain just how dominant we’ve been.

    It’ll be Sakamoto… He’s not a better player than either of Wright, Simms or EMC. I’m not hating on Sakamoto, like most people on here, he’s a cult hero to me too.

    Predication: Wright to play ‘RW’ and he’ll operate inside as a second striker in attack.

    The some people have been talking about Andrews and Obikwu being good enough to cover, it’s not much more of a stretch to call on Sky Blue Sam.

    Big clue that Vik is off?

    Exchange rate wouldn’t impact them per se as the release clause is sent in stone at €100m. Prem teams did want him. How we ended up with Simms was partly down to the negotiations for Vik. It was Vik and his camp chose Sporting as their preferred destination. He’s got better exposure in a...

    Its bollocks. Families get to choose whether or not they sit there as there’s no price incentive meanwhile you box out another group of fans.

    I’ll be going to Bristol away in the cup - it’s actually closer for me to drive there from my office than the CBS. I look after multiple sites so managed to arrange a day at a site in Wales on the day of the game. About an hour drive away! I will plan to visit the North West precisely on the...
