    clive platt

    Sorry but would have to disagree on he would have shone. Platt has played at league 1 and below for the majority of his career and has never shone for anyone. We need a battering ram forward who will muscle defenders out of his way, attack the ball with aggression and swing a few elbows at the...

    Statement from Hoffman tomorrow.

    Probably be the same stuff he has been saying for the last 12 months.

    McPake

    It was only a 1 year extension, he has 12 months left on his contract now.

    magpies eye skyblues ace bigi

    Would be a disaster if he were to leave

    Richard Keogh

    No, he was our best player but he wasn't the best centre half in the championship.

    Why oh why the Mass Hysteria!

    Why would you want to get rid of Keogh or is that because you are resigned to his departure? Add Bell onto the departure list and sign 2 wingers and 1 more striker onto what you already have

    england seriously wtf??

    Always thought are best chance of a trophy was the euro 2004 tournament, back then Spain were a bunch of underachievers and other nations seemed to be going through a transition. I mean Greece won the tournament ffs and they deserved to it wasn't as if they were lucky every game. We had Scholes...

    england seriously wtf??

    Really? Seemed like the same dross to me tbh. Anyway I wouldn't read too much into tonight the real test will come against the better sides starting with France. Beat them, put in a good performance and we could well be on our way to a good tournament. We may have to do a Di Matteo job on the...

    For a big man I have never felt Platt threw his weight around that much, he was tall but he never seemed to attack the ball with any aggression in the air or on the ground. He would just stand rooted to one spot and let the ball hit him. We can easily replace him with minimal funds.

    It never comes down, we could employ 10 U18s on £250 p/w and the board would still tell you they are losing 500k per month.

    I make it 7 signings needed if we want the same threadbare squad from last season

    We need around 10 new signings if we are looking to bounce back

    Top player are you having a joke, he is an honest player who has experience. Probably found his level at a below average league 2 side, might even be able to break the 5 goal per season barrier at Northampton.

    clive platt

    He was offered a new contract and he has chosen to join Northampton which even shows our limit of ambition even more so. Still good as long as he is replaced though.

    Good news imo if he is replaced.

    which squad members are you 100% happy to have in league one?

    Everyone is replaceable in the squad. I would get rid of ROD Platt Bell The only players that are must keeps for me are Keogh Mcdonald Clarke Hussey Cameron Gael Thomas The likes of Wood/Deegan/Baker/Mcsheff will do good enough jobs in league 1 so could be valued member of the squad but...

    Clarke - Im definatly staying here

    Not sure about the quality of other full backs in the league but Clarke and Hussey will be one of the best pair of full backs in the division.

    Things are starting to look up.

    Bell will be terrible still imo, of course he is going nowhere we are the only club stupid enough to take him. His highlight of the season will be one long range pass or one decent shot from range across the season, for the other 45 games he will do nothing.

    Call from the club

    Complete bull shit imo, not the OP but who ever told him that info. Signings have already passed medicals and accounts submitted, utter tosh I reckon. Surely they can't be allowed to say these kind of things.

    What are our players worth?...and who's going?

    Murphy 250k Clarke 700k Christie 300k Mcpake 250k Wood 400k Cameron 300k Keogh 800k Bell 100k Baker 200k Gael 300k Thomas 300k Deegan 150k Mcsheff 500k Platt 50k Mcdonald 500k Couldn't see an outside club bidding much more than them values.
