Have you considered that Robins prioritised other targets? Twine is a good player, but the jump from League 2 to Championship is huge so that transfer would’ve represented a risk. I’m not sure we would’ve been in an immediate position to give him the game time he wanted. As for Rudoni, I think...

We need ‘pace and power’… Such a oring cliche that gets rolled out everyransfer window. We a technical game, that’s where our priority needs to be.

@shmmeee was having a meltdown every preseason game. In most of Moore’s detractors defence, he did look quite dodgy and that was our first impression of him. Another reason us all to not get too carried away in preseason. It’s about fitness, gelling the team and developing the style of play...

Permanent or loan signing?

The English tax doesn’t exist. The tax is on premier league clubs signing other premier league players. Economically, our Premiership teams do not need to sell tickets to break even. Whereas Ligue 1, La Liga and Serie A have teams that need to sell players to break even. That’s why Everton can...

Kalvin Phillips was really good in the 20/21 season for club and country. Last season was a write off in terms of being injured a lot and playing in a struggling team. People have forgot that. Man City have got good value out of this transfer and Guardiola will improve him as a player.

The reality is that inflation and increased interests rates will correct the market somewhat. Generally, the vetting procedures for mortgages are so secure compared to the past… the loans are so secure, that the risk of default is too low.

I think that’s harsh. The Government needs to do something to help young people on the property ladder. For someone like me, I’m in mid-senior management and on a decent wage. Yet to buy on my own is very difficult and my options quite limited. My deposit will be two thirds the value of what...

Well, if anyone in either half picks up a knock, they’ll come on…

I think people are falling into the trap of comparing the team from the end of the season compared to preseason in 2021…

They played with wingbacks and under Steve Cooper got quite a lot of assists. Without a doubt, Bidwell has a good track record playing as a LWB.

WW2 - It was annexed by the Russian SR in 1945.

I doubt Phillips has been brought in to play ahead of Rodri and £42-45 million represents good value in today’s market. Pep will develop Phillips as a player and clearly the Man City staff see something in him. The ‘overrated’ comments are a bit silly, he’s come back from an injury plagued...

The season doesn’t start for another 36 days. We’ll sign defenders! Trust the process.

Fucking hell. I went to uni and played rugby with their son!

Having worked in security, you see a lot of people smuggle knives that fold into the shape of a credit card and other smart concealments. It’s actually a surprise we don’t see more violence at football games.

No point in worrying about it until he’s kicked a ball for us. The management see something in him, let’s see how it goes.

Not everyone is driven purely by the pay packet. It’s obviously a big factor, but players want to generally want to play at the highest level they can. To state the obvious, a club that has good facilities and good coaching is inherently more attractive than a competitor with lesser facilities.

Hopeful about this signing! His through balls look like good fodder for Gyokeres and something we’ve missed a bit higher up the pitch. I wouldn’t judge the Bristol spell too much, as Pearson’s style is very different from ours. Palmer will be looking to turn his career around and we’re a good...

I can honestly see us finessing Norwich and getting McCallum back on a free at the end of his contract. Richard Duffy 2.0.
