Now this looks like a potentially saucy signing! Hoping Monaco pass on him...

I was disgusted at the thought of non-league player could be sold for £1m at the time... ... generally speaking, it’s better to leave it up to the experts.

Agreed. The consensus is that our football pyramid is a lot stronger than its continental counterparts. As you point out, most 3rd/4th divisions in Europe were regional divisions and mostly semi-pro teams or reserve teams for bigger clubs. I’m hopeful this signing will be a good one, but I...

True. Minus Allen, McFadz and Kelly I don’t think any of our team has played Championship football (at least off the top of my head). I do believe a good number of our starters are good enough to make the grade in the Championship. Since posting that, I have remembered that the German 3rd...

The highlight reel showed most of his goals coming from the right, a few set piece deliveries and couple of assists from the left. Seems to be a versatile player who can play across midfield.

Who also played for the same team as Jobello in 2017. I trust the recruitment team on this one, they’ve done their bit to get us up the league. As long as Hilßner fits a certain playing style and personality, I’m sure he could make an impact. However, I’m sceptical that we’ve signed a Div 3...

Not sure I feel about this signing, from the highlight reel, looks like a useful player. I’d be more optimistic if he was younger than 23. To be frank, I can’t really see him being a starter from the get-go. But, that doesn’t mean he can’t adapt and develop well for us. As Nick pointed out...

Probably another ACL to add to our long list...

Not a lot of information on him, he appears to be a striker/winger from what I could find. He some sort of Team of Week card on FIFA (not sure what year) which had him as a RM.

We need to add to our options, 100%. However, I’m quietly confident that Gooden could do well in the Championship, perhaps reaching the 10 goal mark. We have seen natural goal scorers progress well through the leagues and Gooden does have that natural eye for goal with his finishing and...

I used to think increasing the amount subs allowed was a good idea. However, I’m not so sure it is a good idea. For the weaker teams, they can make use of subs to make them more difficult to breakdown, limiting fitness as a factor. The probably result is less goals in the last 30m of games...

It's a deal that makes sense for both parties in my view. O'Hare does well for us in the Championship, he gets a Premiership / Top-end Championship signs him on a bigger deal. Win-win for everyone.

On Orwell, I thought I'd leave this here for consumption. The sentiments of The Road to Wigan Pier still resonate today. A great writer who everyone, regardless of political orientation, should read...

Jak Hickman.

We need a left back, but Danny Fox nor Giles are the answers. Giles had a nice Cameo v Rotherham, that's it. As for Danny Fox, I was surprised to hear he still plays Championship football and at centre back. Signing ex-players, more often than not, is like returning to a toxic relationship. Not...

As a prop*, I’m deeply offended by this entire post. *front rower, for those who need the clarification

We’re on the same side here!

Don’t knock Goodey! Jim Hamilton and himself run a good Rugby podcast! Both Cov boys too. He was still playing rugger when the RICOH opened so he probably meant it as an ambition to play there as the venue has hosted rugby matches since 2006/07 kind of range. My guess is that ‘all his life’...

I’m sure there was rumours that teams from the Netherlands and Germany were after him. I’ve accepted that he probably isn’t going to join us. Frankly, I do believe him staying with us made sense for all parties involved, even if for a year. But, if he gets the chance to play abroad at a higher...

Looks like another Ravel Morrison-esque story. Teams will continually take punts on him, he may show glimpses but ultimately never fulfil their true potential. Hoping he can turn it around as he’s got talent, and good pedigree. Just a shame as the application doesn’t seem to be there at all.
