If McNulty is worth £2m, it’s a reasonable guess that Bayliss is valued at £3-4m minimum. A few posters have said maybe SISU have ‘learned their lesson’ but the context of now, instead of Maddison is that the club is in the ascendency. We’ve balanced the books, just been promoted and are...

That really isn’t the question. The question is what he is worth to us as opposed to what he’s actually worth. If the likes of Barnet - midtable in L2 at the time, now relegated - were asking £1.5m for Akinde, we’re well within our rights to ask for about £2m because frankly, we have no reason...

Considering Barnet we’re asking £1.5m for Akinde a few seasons ago, £2m sounds about right for McNulty. It’s not a commentary on either player’s ability, but we’re in a far stronger position than Barnet. He’s under contract, we’ve just been promoted and we’re breaking even now. We even have the...

This season Ponticelli needs to be able to flourish at U23 level, or loaned out. Even if he bangs in goals at Nuneaton or Solihull, it’ll give him the experience and confidence needed to make an impact in L1. One attribute JP has is his finishing, strikers who have that natural ability to score...

Too many changes. The only change worth thinking about at the minute, injuries permitting, is Rose in Young. He looked lively when he came on and I agree with Hoddle when he says we could do with a left-footer in that wingback role. Knockout football is cagey, neither team wanting to concede a...

Without Rodriguez, they were the most cynical team in the tournament. Falcao in particular was taking things too far shouting in the referee’s face at even the minor decisions and he was captain! FIFA need to be serious about kicking our dissent, even if it introduced a rugby-style ‘sin bin’ or...

Does World Cup fever count as an illness?

Before the shootout, I was confident about us winning if it came down to it. That quickly went away when it started and had a crisis of confidence, especially when Henderson missed. To win on penalties is massive for the psyche of the nation, we really needed this! I had a feeling that if we...

Ah, the daily reminder that football fans know nothing!

Maybe Vieri is a bit tetchy because Italy didn’t qualify...

It was hilarious, apparently he wasn’t a ‘natural goalscorer’ even though at Portsmouth he scored a goal every 2.7 games so a reasonable projection was around 17 goals. I also remember the outcry when we missed out on Collins, but, he cost a substantial amount for a L2 striker at approximately...

He also retweeted CCFC tweet in March about Hickman’s contract signing

Ironically, the BBC article that you bet directed to when clicking on ‘giant defender Abu Ogogo’ tells you he’s a midfielder on the second line. The article reeks of shoddy ‘journalism’. Few other mistakes: - our defence was the best in the league until roughly game 40 of the season, we...

Out of curiosity, how do you know this?

Signing today? I’ve just googled him, he’s an international for the USA and was on loan at Bolton last year, notching up 30 appearances. If we do sign him, we really do mean business!

I’m backing Sterling and really want him to do well after such a great season with Man City. We have such a good opportunity to change the national psyche by getting to a semi-final — the last time we did it in a World Cup, I wasn’t even born!

To sum up some Cov fans, against Stevenage at home, when McDonald’s dodgy clearance put Stevenage’s Revell through on goal, 1v1 and he scores, some idiot shouts ‘for fucks sake Burge’ when it goes in... Generally speaking, a lot of sports fans either can see no wrong in the players they like...

You say most of these managers ‘didn’t have a choice’, when they did because RCC has here. In fact, a lot of people thought Burge, not RCC, should’ve been let go. This season, Burge was far higher in the rankings than RCC. He was playing for Swindon too so hardly a massive gulf in quality...

Me too, same with Spain to beat Russia. Thought I was being a smart arse by betting on both teams thinking I couldn’t lose. Well, this is why I don’t gamble with real money!

It was suicidal getting rid of their manager that close to the tournament. There's something stale about the way Germany and Spain are playing at the minute. Especially with Spain who struggled to break down all the teams they played, if you held a deep line and stayed in your defensive...
