  1. Hackney, McGree, O’Brien(?) Not seen enough of O’Brien but assuming he’s still at the level he was a year ago. VDB looks like a great prospect and Azaz I’m hopeful will prove to be a good signing. Jones on his day can be our best player but he just isn’t consistent enough. Obviously Hackney and McGree could well move on but at least you’re getting a fee and you have control of the transfer to only sanction it once you’ve identified a replacement and got them in.
  2. Nowhere near the extent to what it was last season though. Our loan players last season were our best players (apart from Chuba). This season two of them are filler that we’ve only brought in due to injuries, one of them blows hot and cold, and one of them we’ve had to do without for the first half of the season anyway. Biggest problem is losing Hackney or McGree (although tbf we’ve also made do without McGree for months as well)
  3. So they’ve called it a day and gone down the pub now have they? Hope they remembered to turn the lights off on the way out.
  4. Really? That’s news to me. Whenever I think of Steve Gibson I always imagine him at Rockliffe diving into a swimming pool filled with money like Scrooge McDuck.
  5. Our biggest problem is bringing in Azaz too early and having an anti-climactic end to the window. I guarantee if he turned up at Rockliffe tonight and was unveiled as our Rogers replacement people wouldn’t be so arsey.
  6. It’s just pragmatism. Of course Hull fans will be delighted now, and rightly so, but you could quite easily envisage a scenario where they’re sat there in May questioning why they didn’t just wait until the summer to have a go. And if they don’t go up they’re going to feel the same pain we did when the likes of Archer, Ramsey, Giles, and Steffen returned to their parent clubs leaving us with a big turnover of players.
  7. Bit of a difference between Jordan Rhodes who had four consecutive seasons on hitting double figures in the championship and Macaulay Langstaff who is playing his first season of EFL football at 26.
  8. I do find it quite surprising we’ve not tried for either him or Zaroury given we were apparently in for Diallo.
  9. Finch is a couple of years younger as well which might have tipped it in his favour.
  10. I wasn’t making any reference to his attitude btw. I just meant that he’s one of those players that has been talked about for a few years now as the next big thing to come out of the academy but he just hasn’t kicked on, similar to Ste Walker and Harry Chapman in recent years. Wasn’t he linked to Chelsea a year or two back if I’m remembering correctly?
  11. Can see a lot of parallels between Kav and Ste Walker. For all the hype about him as he’s come through the academy I’ve never really seen that materialise on the pitch. He’s still young but he’s had a couple of loans now and not really kicked on. Coburn and Finch both seem to have moved ahead of him in recent years in terms of the young forwards we have in-house.
  12. Hopefully Ornstein is wrong. An extra 2m tied up in add-ons and an extra 5% going to city doesn’t sound quite as good.
  13. One for the future at 29? There’s late bloomers and then there’s that haha
  14. Tbf didn’t someone say yesterday they wouldn’t blame Carrick if he walked 🤣
  15. Presumably the sell-on is x% of any fee including add-ons. I read recently that the Peterborough chairman was on a podcast talking about the Toney deal when they sold him to Brentford and future implications if they sell him etc and he said Newcastle still receive 30% of whatever sell-on % they get from Brentford.
