He was being linked with blues but I thought he was still under contract so not a free agent and not an option for us unless released. Then there’s the wages and injury record but hell of a player.

If West Ham’s owners didn’t realise how unpopular FL is with their fans, they’re about to find out once this rumour hits the socials.

No pace? I’ve heard a lot of things about Dasilva’s supposed deficiencies, many of which were fair. While he might not quite have MVE’s electric speed, he’s not slow. Brau looks quite heavy-legged in comparison but FL has still played him LW. I do agree that Dasilva might lack something you’d...

They also seem generally sad about the break up of the back-to-back team of which Woolfenden was a key member. He’s a reliable, strong CB who will at the very minimum keep Thomas honest but that calmness they talk about is exactly what we need and he’s 100% an upgrade on Lati.

Too easy to judge the window from the outside. Honestly, it could have been better. I’m also a bit surprised we let Rapha go so late on. But it’s not easy to get players of decent quality in without some assurance of game time. Good loanees from the prem will be expected to get minutes. Clearly...

I’m a bit sorry to see him go. Been a big part of our journey for 5 years. But not as important to us any more and we couldn’t turn down that fee really.

Love O’Hare. Still a top champ player. But I doubt he’d come back. He’d be further down the pecking order here than he is at Sheff U. Wouldn’t make sense for him unless we sold Rudoni

I’d love Simms to prove all his doubters wrong but he can’t live off the back of a purple patch two seasons ago. Last season, I remember commenting that perhaps he was useful up front creating space for the likes of Rudi, Torp and EMC, Saka etc to get goals. But in reflection, it looked more...

Didn’t always agree with him but his humour and decency always shone through. RIP.

Reminds me a bit of Emile Heskey Seems to have the physical attributes to be a nightmare for defenders but you hardly ever see it. Quite a few other champ sides were in for him when we signed him apparently. So I refuse to believe he’s awful. But the problem is that everything has to be perfect...

Still pinching myself

Hillarious. I mean has anyone ever survived on 28 points in the champ?

Objectively, he’s not worth £20m. But that’s not the only factor in their valuation. Hull are much more likely to go down if they don’t keep him. What’s that worth to them? They can’t buy a replacement.

Yes, the Hughes fee is inflated because of how late in the window it is and also due to Hull’s transfer restrictions. It seems like they might have overcome their cash flow problems otherwise they would have sold him. So I actually believe them when they say they want IRO £20m for him. Why...

Great day. I grew up near Highfield Rd and the very idea of us not playing there felt wrong. But hey-ho, I’d relocated away from Cov and when we kicked off with a 3-0 win at the Ricoh, there was the idea that it could become a fortress. I remember being there for the Hull game a few weeks later...

Not now, no. Dropping back to L1 and having to sell a club legend like Carlton Morris to the Derby must be absolutely galling. They did ok in the Prem but they got ravaged by injuries which must have been maddening. 3-0 up to Bournemouth when desperate for points and lose 4-3. Just a completely...

Verboten? There are pages and pages worth of comments on this site criticising Thomas & Kitching. They’re not the best in the Champ but have got plus points. They’re also young enough to improve although I’d be happier if we had 1 or 2 more options. Worth saying that they haven’t been helped by...

Looks like Forest are selling Stamenic to Swansea after just 1 year and no appearances for them. Reported by the BBC too. Can’t find any mention of a fee. Apologies if anyone had already posted this and I missed it…...

*Kitching

Really pleased Kitchen is really starting to show quality and consistency. Always thought he would. Worth remembering that although Robins froze him out, he did deserve to lose his place. First off, he was suspended at the start of last season and Binks’ defensive shortcomings hadn’t fully...
