    How much did Cov spend on transfers in the Premiership years?

    To be fair, you can tell when big Ron took over when you look at those net spend figures.

    Summer transfer window 2024

    The time to judge the window will be when it’s closed. Let’s see what the balance looks like then. I’d rather have depth than not and then it’s the manager’s job to keep them all happy.

    Summer transfer window 2024

    BTA left a team where he might not have been first choice this season, who don’t create many chances and who let him know they were prepared to sell him. He’s joined a club nearer to his hometown who’ll probably create more chances. We weakened a rival and prevented another (Hull) from...

    Summer transfer window 2024

    Not saying it’s going to happen. It would just make me smile. Don’t forget though, COH was struggling for starts and the piggies signed him.

    Would absolutely love Leeds or Sheffield United to take Palmer.

    Transfer Rumour Norman Bassette

    Regis Genaux. Quite weird to think that 50% of that quartet of players is dead.

    Summer transfer window 2024

    Might seem too good to be true for some. I can’t really fault the guy so far.

    Summer transfer window 2024

    Mad to think……The summer window where the only permanent transfer we could do was Palmer (for undisclosed £) …… That was just 2 years ago 😳

    Summer transfer window 2024

    There’s quite a bit out there about him being unhappy at lack of opportunities (basically 4th choice) at Caen despite a good record in the b team & youth internationals. Looks like he would’ve joined Mechelen permanently but they wouldn’t stump up the cash so here we are.

    Is this Highfield Rd?

    Phew. I’m glad it’s Millwall as it puts the photo at 1977 latest. I was horrified at the thought of that bloke wearing flares that massive as late as 1979. You could get your head kicked in for a lot less round the Den at that time.

    Match Thread Bristol City (A) 24th August 12:30 KO

    Binks could be ok as a CDM. Touch, passing, tackling… all good. What I’d be worried about is the positioning and intensity required. Haven’t seen that from Binks. He still needs to learn where to be as a CB. Also, CB is less intense when you’re usually a unit of 4 up against 3 forwards...

    We could re-sign Godden. And if we also got Nuno Espirito Santo in as manager, we could boast the holy trinity.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I live in the South East and there’s grammar schools round here. It’s just a circus. The grammars are de facto private schools in some cases. People will move heaven and earth to get their kids in. One example is a guy who rented a flat for a year, simply to have an address in catchment for...

    Match Thread Bristol City (A) 24th August 12:30 KO

    Kitching has appeared at LB at times in his career (esp in his early days at Barnsley IIRC). Not sure I’d pick him over Bidwell all things being equal. But defo an option. Wide players are getting bigger and it’s not unusual to see players over 6ft at full back these days.

    Oxford player ratings

    MVE & Wright were brilliant. Rudoni also had too much for them first half. Torp and Eccles were ok. Few iffy moments (esp Torp standing off them for their second). Quiet one from Simms who put a shift in. He was unlucky to be pulled back for what looked an ok shoulder challenge. He was getting...

    Quite possibly. Those injuries and getting chucked under the bus by Deeney can’t be helping. A reminder how hard it is not only to make it as a pro but also to stay in the game.
