Not all rumours are from the press. I once picked up on one re Swift purely through knowing one of his mates.

there was an article in the week that suggested a number of championship clubs wanted Brooks with West Brom being favs. I don’t recall that we were one of them. It read like the kind of article agents place to get interest in their client.

Evidently available on loan …..

BTA lovely guy, run all day, plays with his head down, scorer of good goals not a good goal scorer. not my view but that of one of his team mates …. I’ll leave it at that …

Eustace prefers an older player

Because he wasn’t playing … Frank picked Simms ahead of him week after week after week …

Yes of course is he …. That’s why there was a stampede to buy BTA last summer when it was well known WBA wanted to sell him.

Wow

Tyrique George

Not linked with any strikers yet and that is likely to be the most difficult position to successfully fill.

You might be right but I suspect the club want 2 new left backs …. When the club were discussing recruitment last summer and in January I’d be amazed if they didn’t conclude neither existing full back was up to the job. to be fair JDS was excellent in the run in but as you say the scouting...

I don’t think it is . Brau is a left back. A handful of games in an alternative position doesn’t count unless you think Rudi and Kitch are left backs ??

Yes. He takes it off their central defenders unless they are chasing the game then they push him forward in the hole, which is not ideal as he can barely see out if it.

Well he ran the midfield against us at home when he came on ….changed the match. He doesn’t have legs but his football brain is very good. an interesting option off the bench but is he too similar to Grimes ??

A left back who has played left centre half in a 3 …. Sounds like a player @Saddlebrains was describing

Possibly. I think there will be pressure from owners to managers and the recruitment team not to follow the path of Iosw, Saints, etc and buy the best of the championship. It just doesn’t work: You may well be right on Doyle but I think some will try a different approach.

General rule of thumb is that a free transfer ( Bosman rather than club not wanting to renew ) is that it’s 10-15% cheaper for the club than if they had paid the transfer fee. The player / agent gets a significant signing on fee and inflated wages in return for the club not paying a transfer...

Signing on fees though of course.

Leicester won’t be buying Doyle

Christ Admin didn’t spend long on that reveal …..
