Re: RUMOUR - Robert Beric

Would be crazy to move Pog on IMHO. He's looked good preseason and would be tragic to push him out just as we may be getting a team together which he would be a good part of.
There's no real case to get rid of him, it's not going to save any money.

Re: RUMOUR - Robert Beric

Also interesting that it's all been incoming.
Lost players at the end of last season outside our control but not moved anyone out since (excluding youngsters out on loan to gain experience)
I wonder whether we will now be concentrating on reducing numbers having brought in the players we want .

Re: RUMOUR - Robert Beric

Agree , it's the one box left unticked. I'm pretty happy with what we've done this summer subject to completing the 2 outstanding deals and the players we have signed going on to prove themselves !! It's likely IMHO that we're working on it, plenty if the deals we've done have happened quickly or un...

Re: Squad Numbers

'Ok lads, here's the numbers for you (reads out numbers).

And you 4 over there, although you have contracts I don't really rate you so you can't have a number. Now go clean the bogs'

Great motivation !

Re: RUMOUR - Robert Beric

Seems to me that he was always a bit out of our reach. Hammond and co just spotted him first. And possibly our interest was then used to spark other clubs taking a look. It happens, maybe we should have gone in higher and forced the deal, but then if we'd offers 5 million straight off they may have...

Re: Bradford Pitch invasion fine?

It would be interesting to see what the numbers of badged stewards were compared to a normal match. There did appear to be an extra response team (one by the north stand that isn't there) but there didn't seem to be much of an increased presence around the edges of the pitch. I suspect that if the ...

Re: Bradford Pitch invasion fine?

There are a couple of fans on those clips that could be looking at a stadium ban. The flare guys, and a couple goading the away fans. One guy quite a few times. Once they were on the pitch where were the stewards taking them away from the away end. If you look most of the stewards are huddled aroun...

Re: Returning Hero

And I think the 700k price is probably the right one as we had a significant sell on clause. Still not really addressed the issue of how we hang on to players for several years to see if they fulfil their potential. Lots of players have potential (that's why they are professional footballers) and do...

Re: RUMOUR - Alex Fernandez

So that would give us Norwood, Williams, Quinn, Tishbola and Alex. Assume Kuhl is on loan in Spain for the season and Akpan moves on that gives us 5 for 2 or 3 places which is just about Ok, although I'd probably want 1 more. No idea I'd Alex is any good, there was one midfielder for Espanyol on Sa...

Re: CONFIMRED - Andrew Taylor

Robinson never filled me with much confidence. I remember a game against Colchester at the end of the season where I remember he was dire, really dire. Think it was the season we got to the Playoff Final but I may be wrong. Other than that he did a job Rooster was a shiny light in a sea of gloom ( ...

Re: RUMOUR - Alex Fernandez

Apparently he also plays on the right which would logically provide balance with Quinn as a left sided option and Williams, Norwood and Tishbola more central. Assuming Mc Leary and Hurtado make it onto a team sheet the midfield options start to look ok in terms of numbers although must still be rate...

Re: Next seasons kit choice?

We play in blue and white, if the blue clashes we should play in white, if the whiye clashes, we should play in blue. After that yellow, but who really cares. That would not really work would it. Imagine the meltdown on HNA if the club said they were going to make us all buy 4 kits ! Not to mention...

Re: Returning Hero

So 3 years ago you pointed out that he would be worth 7 million at some point in the future ? I applaud your insight. In reality we can't hang on to every player in case one day they appreciate in value, there's an obvious logistical issue there. Some times we'll look back in hindsight and think 'if...

Player had talent. Giving him 10 mins here 10 mins there was doing him no good particularly as there was shit ahead of him. McDermott oxf*rd him up. The fact WBA and Norwich are bidding up to £7 million for him would tell me an error has been made. Or, we took a player out of non league football fo...

Paddy You need to get into the real world. We are not QPR, who can throw around money they don't have and laugh at the consequences. We are not going to compete with Chelsea for John Stones.
