    Matty Godden

    No this elite professional sport. Players are incredibly well paid for part time hours and hero worshipped along the way but every player has a sell buy date. it is not unreasonable for fans to aspire for better players to help move the club forward. It doesn’t mean we have short memories...

    So how do we interpret Goddens reaction ( or lack of ) to scoring and Robins comments on Goddens minutes….. my best guess is that Godden has a possible transfer available. Robins would like to keep him but Godden wants assurances over his playing time …. I said it in the summer and I haven’t...

    Transfer targets

    I think the process is that Austin identifies the various recruitment options, and King, Robins and Austin agree the primary targets. Doug leads on the material negotiations and Robins has final say on all transfers. Robins reference to King is of course in part true but also in part a tactic...

    Of course it is. This is a football forum not a laboratory …. My informed opinion is that he has demonstrated all the behaviours of a player who wants to try his luck elsewhere if the right offer comes along. I hope I’m wrong.

    We have been over this lots and lots … When a player is asked several times about staying and signing a new deal and he continues to say he’s just concentrating on his fitness you know it’s a response agreed with his agent. The club have witnessed very recently (with Vik and Hamer ) how to...

    He wants off and that’s been clear for some time … happy for him to be sold this window if he won’t sign a new deal ….

    I totally agree I was more amused that Turner didn’t see that.

    Yes although Turner says Longstaff is more of a fox in the box than our front 3. No idea what he thinks Godden is then ….

    Transfer targets

    I think he’s been less convincing in recent matches. He lacks pace in a 4 and his distribution isnt as good as I hoped it might be …. maybe he will Improve with more match time ….

    Transfer targets

    That’s not what Nixon said. He said he is aware that we are after a CD and a LW. Clearly there are deals and targets that he is not aware of. One might be a CM. I’m also surprised at the CD suggestion but maybe Binks is going back, maybe they plan to replace Fadz now because they have...

    He might be wide of the mark on this time will tell. he doesn’t talk bollocks though … his track record in the EFL is much better than most …

    Interview with Doug King coming up on Talk Sport this morning

    Still reads like criticism to me …. I don’t see any correlation between season ticket prices and King attending a mates birthday party in the Alps.

    Transfer targets

    I think we are missing the importance of our formation change when we talk about the 8 replacing Hamers goal threat. last season we had goals from Vik and Hamer mainly. the new formation gives us goals from Tats, Hadji, Simms, COH. For me the new CM is about helping us link defence to attack...

    Transfer targets

    More players move from 22 championship clubs than just 2 Scottish clubs to the Premier League …. No shit Sherlock now that is the definition of a flawed argument

    Transfer targets

    I don’t disagree but whether we like it or not Celtic and Rangers are global football clubs. They have supporters clubs in every continent. This will appeal to some players who will be attracted by the size and history of the clubs.

    Transfer targets

    I’m not sure this is correct. for some players the opportunity to play in front of 40,000 fans at home every other week, play in the Champions league, win titles etc will be more appealing that competing for the Championship play offs. The Championship is a better league, the wage structure...

    Are we about to lose the heartbeat of the club ?

    I don’t believe that is what happened

    Are we about to lose the heartbeat of the club ?

    If we are all honest COH hasn’t yet hit his pre injury form heights. He’s certainly been effective for us, but he’s not back to his old self yet. That said I am impressed with his goals and assists stats since his return but his general play isn’t quite up to his previous levels.

    Are we about to lose the heartbeat of the club ?

    This is of course true. The issue is of course trying to compete in a league where almost all clubs operate at a huge loss.
