Re: Squad Watch 2022/23

I'm sure others have already said it - but this is the most un-Kia transfer window we've had since the new owners came in.

Now let's see it working.

(As an aside, the Irish player quotient has been low for a while on the men's side, glad to see that improve)

Re: Freebies

Dann, BOO and Moore are the three known injuries at the moment. Another left back really has to be an urgent priority this week as time is being lost with regard to team set ups etc. Should never have got shot of Obita. Don't think it was the wrong decision at the time - he managed 14 starts for us...

Re: Ex Players

International transfers have different rules. Not necessarily. We will, but not a lot. 5% of his fee to be shared across all clubs he was with between the ages of 12 and 24. Number 3 of possible payments listed in my post here https://hobnob.royals.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=189397&start...

AthleticoSpizz Omar Richards ‘frimmed as a Forest player


Couldn't they have got him last year for free? Seems poor business by them. Unless he turned them down of course.

Re: Jeff Hendrick

For a struggling Championship side with no money this would IMHO represent a decent signing. Yep not great but hopefully do a job. We are incredibly limited in what we can do. I just hope we can get some decent younger players in on loan. TBH a 30 year old international central mid who was a prem r...

Re: Out of Contract 2022

Instead of who though? McIntyre moved into midfield and alongside Holmes? I'm not sure if I feel totally comfortable with that personally. I'd have him as part of our squad, but wouldn't want his development hindered through a lack of game time and another 40+ games lower down the pyramid would lik...

Re: Out of Contract 2022

Is Dorsett a local lad or another academy prospect we picked up from the London circuit like Richards and Olise? he was born in Enfield, and he joined in the 2016/2017 season when he was 14 He came in via Eldon Celtic who are based in South Reading. Which seems a bit far for a lad from Enfield - so...

Re: George Puscas leaving?

It was definitely reported as such last season, I'll need to try and find it again. Remember it coming up and that being the conclusion. Did it actually apply last season ? Not sure whether we actually had 25 qualified players at anytime, even with Puscas and the Scottish bloke out on loan. The agr...

Re: Left backs

One of my pet hates is playing right footers at left back Cancelo appears to one of the very few that can make it work, but Tripper, Reece James, Gunter … I think it's one thing shoving in a right back at left back when you're out of left backs - i.e., one sub covering both positions for example.

Re: Freebies

Why is it with U24's you need to pay a compensation package? What I mean is, could we just not wait until 1st July until he's no longer a Gillingham player and just pick him up for nothing? Likewise Forest "could" do the same if they let Holmes' contract expire and then just pick him up f...

Re: Rival Watch

Agreed. Needs to be in good time to avoid a division being a team short if at all possible. Doesn't that process take quite a bit of time? After the initial computer-generated list is done, there's a stack of meetings with interested parties to tweak it? I'd say at least 10 days before the fixture ...

Re: Rival Watch

It is all rather ridiculous, there should be a set timeline which cannot be changed no matter who you are. Quite simply Derby (or any club) should be out of administration and/or under acceptable new ownership by the start of a new season (30th July in this case). If they are not then that club sho...

Re: Out of Contract 2022

Does the Academy have internal squad numbers, because it would be a surprise if he got the prestigious 7 shirt for the first team, given his sole appearance is 20 minutes v Luton? Although everyone seems to want squad numbers these days rather than the traditional ones. McIntyre was 7 last season f...
