Are you a secret Mackem fan astute.
Got to say can't wait for their hate to restart just before we play them this season

Well you know how Sunderland fans like to go on and on and on!
Bunch of whinging moaning old women up there.
Consoled by other players also apparently!!
Edit: if they are consoling him maybe he has just seen our pre season “highlights”

With the way the results have been going, maybe it was best he stayed away from us during pre-season!
Judging by his reaction at the end, you may well be getting your man this week! He clapped us for what seemed to be an age and then had to be consoled by another player. May be wrong but definitely felt like goodbye to me....
The score from The Hawthorns must have come through the PA!
Instead of tracking planes like the big clubs we’ll have to track his car for #ConorChaplinDay
Nice hit and you can’t question his goal scoring record but the majority of Scottish championship sides are no better than our conference surely? Ayr United only went professional last season
Have any SPL sides expressed an interest in him?
Not another striker with just one trick, to lob the keeper (see Armstrong passim)
Ike Ugbo? Been at MK Dons and Barnsley with little success - 3 goals in 30 games. Hasn’t sorted a loan move out yet still in Chelsea’s 23s
Not quite, most about L1/L2 level though the level below that is more L2/Conf. He went on trial with Swansea's development side last summer and didn't get a contract. Take a look at his goals last season anyway, all kinds of goals scored and of similar style to the chap we're trying to replace.
Do you know, I've got a gut feeling Chaplin will sign today, about 5pm.
Apologies if this has been discussed but where would signing Chaplin leave Andreu? We would surely need to play another striker alongside Chaplin which would leave Tony benched or out wide. Should we not be targeting a player who can lead the line on his own with Tony in behind?
I'd quite like to see a 3-5-2 with Bayliss Ogogo and Andreu centrally, Brown and Sterling overlapping either side; Biamou and (hopefully) Chaplin up top. Jones, Allessani, Shipley, JCH, Doyle all other options on the bench. With the signings made this summer it really has opened us up to play different formations to suit different players. Should set us up better to counter other teams, or to change things if they become ineffective, rather than setting up the same way every time.
I can't figure out what we're likely to play next season, formation or personnel. If we stick with Andreu behind a-n-other then we seem to either have to play JCH or Max or risk not having any physicality up that end of the field. We do seem to have lots of options which is good, we certainly have pace to use on the wings.
I can see him playing Sterling Right Midfield if he needs to, then covering back with Grimmer there.
Well not particularly, the idea is build a squad - sign 4, sell 1 every year then reinvest in another 4 (I know that’s the debated point)
That was the ranson plan and was a good one.. on paper
