On a serious note is it something to do with furlough and getting away with a few weeks worth of pay ?

Wouldn't think so. Can't claim it for employees that haven't been with you less than a certain amount of time.

Do you honestly believe we are waiting on medicals to announce signings?

That’s what Peterborough’s chairman was saying, apparently there’s a delay at a medical agency. Not saying it’s definitely the issue but it’s a possibility

Think it's more to do with some of the key staff being unavailable. We'll see some movement this week I'm sure.

That can’t be true, those in the know told us that players think that Pearson is a prick.

Not sure how your point goes with blunted’s? Just a chance to say “in the know”, maybe? Seems quite a trendy term right now.

He/she said about beating us to signing more players.
Yeah, I’m really desperate to say ITK

Why not announced tho. Surely they see the social media negative posts and would want to negate that
Click to expand...
They don't give a tinkers about social media posts - Or at least I hope not. This is serious money we are taliking about.

Personally although I would like us to get new people in - at least 5 - I have not been that bothered about what others have done. Luton appear to be buying in bulk, but little selectivity. The current commercial circumstances are a the most challenging of all time, and also we don't know if Robins sees Drysdale, Eccles and Burroughs as more a part of the matchday squad than they were last year

Bit nervous, but not panicking....

The jury is out in Hillsner? So we signed 4 players - we rely totally on loans working out. We did re sign Bakayoko - I’m not being critical of Walker but he’s not an obvious success either.

Walker was our top scorer with 7 goals and wasnt fit at all last season

I think Drysdale could be a surprise package this year.

In the same way that O’Hare reminds people of Grealish - they have similar haircuts and play the same position, and that’s about it for me.

He has done his loan period in the Cambridge United promotion team 22 next birthday 6’ 5” if ain’t ready now when will he be I think he’s left footed too might be wrong there, plays centre back or cdm. I know he’s highly rated.

Right footed I think, like the look of him when ever I’ve seen him but just think his pace will hold him back at championship level.

Pace isn't everything - McFadzean has been a good example for him in how to adapt your game so that the weakness doesn't become critical. Drysdale's strengths are his comfort on the ball and the ability to see and execute a pass, which gives him the potential to be successful at our level. This is probably a big season for him and will probably go a long way to deciding at what level his career lays.

I think Fadz also benefits from being in a back three though. Also since we took a more varied style of play rather than playing out from the back all the time the errors have reduced.

When he turned up I thought he'd be a more old fashioned centre half who'd head stuff away all day long and that's still what I think of him. It's more the team, formation and tactics better suit him now rather than him adapting massively.

Middlesbrough have apparently agreed a £750k fee (rising to £1m) for Ikpeazu of Wycombe.

We won’t be signing championship strikers with high goal tallies anyway.

Bristol City close to signing Rob Atkinson. Really hoped we could get him. Ugh.
