So now you are going to claim Eiran Cashin is rubbish yeah? Even though Brighton just spent about £9m on him.
I remember when I wanted Liam Delap and you said he was rubbish too.

I'm unsure about Cashin. Firstly whether he's even any good, think Derby had Brightons pants down and secondly why they need him with Nesta Klarer and Cannavaro Neumann already there.

His stats are pretty good, similar to Bobby Thomas really. I am sure Brighton will expect him to play as part of the loan deal.

Brighton are normally very good in the transfer market but they also get it wrong sometimes. Just like every other club. Can I mention Gyokeres?

I would think so too, which means either Klarer or Neumann isn't as good as I've been lead to believe.

TBF Gyokeres showed their scouts can spot a player. It is ultimately Graham Potter to blame for him leaving.

Yeah… they spotted him and could tell he had potential. Just didn’t get the opportunities there or was too early for the opportunities

Wait until you see Reynolds doing a skit with Tom Brady and main character Wagner before the Wrexham vs Blues game. That's when you'll know it's time to pack football in completely and find something else to get worked up about at the weekend.

his legs are gone, why he still doesn't have a club

also doesn't matter who plays in a parkinson midfield as the ball is getting hoofed over them

Then let him go for £1m. He had the loans like most of their players get.

Barry Bannan is a standout midfielder in this league and people dont think Eriksen would be quality.

I just think its all noise to get other clubs interested in him anyway.

Just hope they go back down asap.
Birmingham we likely will stuck be with for the foreseeable though unfortunately unless we can get promoted

Just let these wanker clubs do their thing. I don't even know what Birminghams strategy is tbh, 'shit or bust' maybe. We'll keep doing our thing and we have a couple more exciting signings to come I'm sure.

He will go to a club in a bigger league and for a big wage. Most probably just after the publicity.

It’s not so much that, it’s the tedious media wanking over everything that club does.

This season will be a competitive one for the play offs.

It is vital we get a good start to keep in the competition for promotion.

I think the autos should be more competitive also. One team usually runs away with it, but I don’t think three will like last season.

These players have to gel, Ipswich tried it a few years ago, got themselves into a right mess and eventually got relegated

This.

I've nothing against Wrexham, and their owners seem like decent people, but it's the narrative that it's somehow a fairytale, rather than another small club bloated on massive cash injections.

Can't see us threatening the automatic promotion places any time soon as I think the gap is just too big (we've been 30+ points off in the last two years), but the play offs are definitely achievable.

Got a gut feeling the three coming down won't run away with it as much as the two/three who went up last season either, but we'll see

If Rushworth is as good as he looks he will be worth quite a few points. No more turning a win into a loss with a GK that doesn't make a save all game. Add to this getting a good start instead of giving most clubs a head start adds more points.

I can see Ipswich having a very good season. We couldn't even keep up with their reserves. But I agree about the other 2. Southampton could easily go either way. Leicester are in a mess.

Birmingham have made some really good signings, wouldn’t rule them out of 1st place or at the very least Champions League qualifiers. Well run club as well with a great fan base.

This sounds like when Herb forces the bloke on the phone to call back and say the opposite of everything he just said about Homer while Bart and Lisa are listening.

Ipswich will walk away with it imo, fantastic squad. The rest is anyone's guess though.

Think what it’s going to be like in their 60,000 cap stadium containing 80,000 season ticket holders. Will be a difficult place to go, even for the likes of Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

Yeah I heard this as well. Leicester are going to start the season on minus ten points but the EFL are starting Birmingham on plus 20.

Here’s my predictions…

1. Birmingham City
2. Birmingham City
3. Birmingham City (playoff winners)
4. Wrexham
5. Sheffield Wednesday
6. Sheffield United

7-24th - just the other teams.
