double d we are going to get mullered with that abysmal line up

This a joke? That's our first XI for the season with the exception of Beerens and Kelly or a new signing.
Anyone better is injured.

And McShane, and Kermorgant.

We release lots of academy players every year. Surely it is heartening that so many are continuing as professionals rather than dropping out entirely? We really haven't lost many first teamers at all. Williams and Al-Habsi basically, one of whom we've directly replaced. We've trimmed the squad and i...

The right price obviously depends on the player and circumsatances. Not worth paying £5m for Oliviera if someone only a little less good is available for free, let alone £9m+

I don't think we should go higher than £6m for anyone we could realistically target though.

Hmmm, lacking data. How much higher is the English league. What about the second tiers. What's the comparative minutes on pitch for native and foreign players. The PL and La Liga could both have 40% foreign players, but if the 60% in Spain get 70% of the pitch time whilst the 60% in England get 40% ...

Is 10 million today any more insane than 400kwas for Steve Moran all those years ago ? it was £250K but I get your point. I used to will Moran to do well every game but he was very average and a waste of money. I doubt that the average championship uncome has risen by the same proprotion as transfe...

£5m and maybe.

No second tier striker should move to a second tier club for more than £6m. It's insane.

Without Williams our depth is definitely hurt and I'd like to see us improve on him. But for all his quality he always seemed the wrong cog in midfield to me. With Kelly, Evans, Berg and Swift to choose from the first choice looks strong. Plus Clement, Barrett and co. Injuries will really hurt us th...

holsgrove breaks a leg just someone.. someone better than Sir Joseph Mendes...

I've got a 5 a side game tonight, shall I email the club and suggest they scout us?

If we could get him for about 2/3rds what they paid he'd be about normal level of overpriced and maybe worth it. But I can't see us spending £8m or Villa acceptingn a £4m loss.

As CR said, look at all our comparative big signings: Lita, Halford, Fae, Bikey, Mills, Vydra, Seol, etc etc etc. How many of them have been better than Ok? It's oxf*rd all. All our most impactful signings have been comparatively cheap or home grown. Are you seriously suggesting Lita was not better...

He looked to me like a player with talent who has lost their passion to achieve. Like someone who is comfortable and coasting having secured a career at very decent wages.

I'm not saying he didn't try, just that there didnt seem to be a determination to win his battles and makes his game count.

I'm not concerned about not spending tonnes. We've consistently proved that you don't need to spend a lot (at least in transfer fees) to be successful. It's about recruiting the right sort of player and it's about the team. Even with the undoubted quality that Wolves have signed I'd be very surpris...

I just don't see how he is any better than Samuel looking at his stats. Has anyone seen him play at all and could comment? Is he younger than Samuel, is he less injury prone than Samuel? Stam's seen plenty of Samuel, better try someone who might be better than stick with someone you don't think is ...

I genuinely don't understand why anyone would use twitter to try to get breaking football news. It's just full of tragic attention seeking bullshit merchants peddling any old nonsense. Yeah there's some genuine scoops, but is it really worth all the effort to sort the wheat from the endless chaff to...

Seems like it'd be another move in the direction of supporter's growing sense of over-entitlement.

Why would you compare someone who has been in the role a year with someone who built the role from scratch and was in it for about 10 years or more? The idea is just weird. I mean for a start, you can't really judge the true impact of a signing in just one year. Some signings are meant to have an in...

Feel like we're setting ourselves up for a huge lol right now if they stay up.. Don't get me wrong I think it would be a surprise considering the strength of the division and their squad right now but if they manage it I can imagine a lot of these quotes will have been screenshot.. I have a huge 'm...
