    Bobby Thomas to Sheff Utd ?

    We should have gone for Tanganga.

    Bobby Thomas to Sheff Utd ?

    Just rumours though aren't they, can't see it. I think he'll be with us for the season. He may get to Premier League level but he isn't there yet I don't think.

    Bobby Thomas to Sheff Utd ?

    I think £8m was unrealistic anyway. We'd be crazy to sell one of our 2 senior centre backs at this point anyway, unless I suppose they other lined up.

    Bobby Thomas to Sheff Utd ?

    It looks like Sheff Utd are buying Tanganga from Millwall so they should back off from Bobby now.

    Observations from today

    You have done a lot of research into this it seems. I didn't know any of that. I also don't care. I don't spend time looking up the behaviours of players who have left and how they reponded to training at their next club. I support the club and the players we have, if they leave I may follow...

    I did. He was a good player and a decent guy. I don’t feel the same twisted resentment some feel. I was glad his shots were wayward and he wasn’t on the winning side though. You?

    Not too bad. Some good performances, Saka and Torp especially, JDS and Grimes looked good too. I'd like to see Wright and Simms coming on, maybe be have a look at Kesler Haydon?

    Transfer Rumour MVE to Wolfsburg

    I remember them declaring the imminent signing of Alexi Lalas, got plenty of cash out me that summer. Edit: got plenty of cash out of my dad

    What would you be happy with?

    We need a centre back to replace Binks. I’m happy with full backs and the midfield. I also think our strikers are good. Wright is excellent and Simms is an able back up, Asante a good option off the bench. I wouldn’t be that annoyed if we didn’t buy anyone else. The desperation for ‘signings’...

    What happened to Winchy (and his top-knot)?

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    I would be very surprised if Rudoni leaves. Most of our decent players over the last few years have hung around for at least 2 seasons. It's clear that he loves working with Lampard and I think he'll persuade him to stay for one more season before cashing in. If he has a full season like the...

    Retained List

    I would hate it if we were bought by an oil state or some kind of oligarch. I get it that it would be exciting to have a turn at being a big club and I expect if you ask Man City fans if they like what's happened over the last few years, most would say yes. It does take a lot of soul of the club...

    Match Thread Coventry v Sunderland Championship Playoff 1st Leg Friday 9th May

    We've played well but can't break them down, they've seen that a defensive mindset can frustrate us. Saka playing really well. We need to get Rudoni on the ball more. 0-0 would be a shame

    Fair point. BTA for Simms then? Or just nothing and someone made it up?

    Match Thread Coventry v Sunderland Championship Playoff 1st Leg Friday 9th May

    Now that we will amost certainly play Sheff Utd in the final, should we get there, makes me more nervous than before last night when it still could have been Bristol. The thought of O'Hare and Hamer celebrating with their fans will be awful to watch; I suppose the flip-side of that is appealing...

    Match Thread Coventry v Sunderland Championship Playoff 1st Leg Friday 9th May

    Have they rested players in recent matches? I haven't followed but it seems likely. I don't think we will underestimate them but I also think this will be a very difficult one. It feels about 50-50 before we start. I am getting nervous, maybe more than the Boro game, which was retty unbearable.
