Sounds a good shout to me. Looking at his stats he tends to play up top a lot more than out wide but with the way we play there’s a lot of benefit in having almost a right-sided striker in the mould of Hiwula on the left.

Had a flick through the players whose contracts are expiring throughout the leagues and picked some names out that may be worth a look: Mark Bunn - GK (Aston Villa) Frank Fielding - GK (Bristol City) Andre Green* - RW (Aston Villa) Tom Eaves - ST (Gillingham) Curtis Nelson - CB (Oxford) Luke...

Absolutely won’t be taking this bet. My only argument was that Bakayoko’s the more saleable asset, whereas I don’t think either will be our main striker next season.

You’ve been banging the Ponticelli drum for 3 years now, give it a rest.

Had 610 applicants at Wasps yesterday apparently. I did it as well, it’s our duty as Cov fans to beat that total.

Bakayoko by far. Has height and as much pace as Chaplin, it was embarrassing seeing Chaplin trying to outrun Beckles today who’s three times his size. If you’re that size and you’re not quick, you’re no use as a striker.

But the key is if we’re not putting an offer in place at least a year before their contract expires then it opens the door to losing them for nothing. If you offered a contract 12-18 months in advance and they turn it down there’s the opportunity for a sale to take a fee.

Wouldn’t like it. Legitimises franchised sports in this country.

I wouldn’t be admitting that.

Joe Murphy’s was in a penalty shootout so it doesn’t count.

I think the thing worth bearing in mind when considering the drop in vote share is that as of 2017 UKIP had ‘achieved its sole aim’ and was defunct. Due to the way this has been handled over the following 18-24 months, there’s the same resentment brewing again and I’d expect an uplift closer to...

Slightly unrelated note - Pogba in the team of the year is a joke.

Wonder if he got invoiced for pitch repairs?

Are we having a pope-inspired kit then?

Can’t agree that he’s been the best over the season as he was stinking the place out early on and then been quiet over the last 2 months (which I’d attribute to mental fatigue being as it is his first full season). Still, he is the best we’ve had for years, yes. Will be difficult to replace but...

Are you on about the right player? He’s 25 so hardly old and he’s a centre back so hardly a Doyle upgrade.

Another I had thought about, believe he’s reasonably quick so would be a good Willis replacement.

Had crossed my mind as well, meant to be really good. Didn’t get near any of our goals at Wembley though :cigar:

Maybe we’re not going to have a goalkeeping coach and will offer Stockdale the equivalent wage of our 3 keepers and 1 coach? :woot:

Yes they’re making a loss, but CVC will be taking their turnover rather than waiting for any residual profit. That spells bad news for business unless their income takes quite a big leap.
