    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    The only incorrect thing I said was that Bassette hadn’t been picked for the Belgian U21s since. He has played twice since and even started and scored in their March game vs Andorra. Apologies for my sloppy error. For the details of his full international debut though I was right. He was...

    End of season award party?

    Towards the end of July. Hopefully just after the second leg of the Anglo-Scottish Cup Winners Cup of 1987-8 vs St Mirren. https://www.ccfc.co.uk/news/2025/april/14/news--24-25-awards-to-be-held-later-in-summer/

    End of season award party?

    Crazily they postponed it until the late summer - giving all the winners the chance to be employed by a different club by the time it takes place.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    It’s possible he knows it but - somewhat like the apparent advice about applying yourself fully in training* - he might think it doesn’t apply to him. * I have no evidence for this assertion. Just thought I’d join the game.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    To call someone who was elevated from the u21 squad as they had an important qualifier that clashes with the full international game, and then played as a last minute substitute in a defeat vs Isreal - and who never touched the ball, and has not been near a full or u21 squad since, a Belgian...

    Item 25/26 Coventry Kit

    Platense are the Champions of Argentina for the first time in their history. Their club colours are white and brown. Their second kit always seems to be brown. Manufactured by Hummel for quite a few years now. https://www.footballkitarchive.com/ca-platense-2024-away-kit/222583/

    Championship thread 25/26!

    Wilder has been very good at Sheffield United in two separate spells. If they sack him after last season they need their heads examining. Seles is a good manager who was treated badly by poor owners at Reading and Hull, I’d be wary of joining another set of volatile bosses at Sheffield...

    Players who have played for us twice in their career (not loans) GO!

    Really? I know we bought him from NY Cosmos where he had been playing with Pele and Beckenbauer but I didnt realise we loaned him back. An awful lot of that team also decamped to Detroit Express in the summers between 1987-81 in a Jimmy Hill venture that cost us quite a bit.

    Josh Sargent

    Not scored for the USA national team since 2019. Fewer goals for them than Haji Wright but with a dozen or so more appearances. None of which actually matters as we won’t be in for him.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    In 2018-19! On the basis that he did well when last in a particular league we should resign Clarrie Bourton. Since then he’s scored 37 goals across six seasons. His attitude was an absolute disgrace at Everton (inc under Lampard). Anyway; the latest from the Liverpool Echo is that...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Most of the “journalists” seem to be cosplaying students who once got a story placed in a regional paper and have been told they can mention the same paper in their byline if they keep sending traffic to the website.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Am I the only one who is horrified by this suggestion? Been disruptive everywhere he’s been and is frankly not very good.

    BNC on as sub for Carsley’s u21s against Slovenia. Providing some well-needed width going forward atm.

    Viktor Moving on

    The Sesko hype has also left Slovenians a little non-plussed. They rate him and are pleased at his in-demand status but they talk mostly about his potential rather than his actual delivery. Mind you, I suspect many Swedes didn’t rate Gyökeres until he finally impacted on their national team in...

    Players who have played for us twice in their career (not loans) GO!

    Indeed although what’s unique about Pressley is that his time with us as a player had been underwhelming. The others all had a reputation of being good, if not legendary.
