Similar to what a few other people have posted i mainly lurk on the thread for the snippets of info from the likes of yourself, raf etc so its a shame its come to this, but health is the most important thing so its completely understandable. Hope you're feeling better soon

I don’t think anyone thinks that at all, certainly I don’t. Equally, I don’t think having a more negative view on it makes you anymore realistic. None of us know how it’s going to go 😅

As opposed to what?

You’re thinking of foreign ownership in an ideal scenario though. For all we know, it could of been a Carson Yeung type which would have been a disaster.

The pessimist in me says all the good work is somewhat undone leaving our right side of midfield and DM positions as howson and crooks

I keep getting this awful feeling we’re going to end up with Lewis Grabban on a free

Exactly, and because we’re lacking in a bit of technical ability and athleticism as soon as a good team presses us and doesn’t sit off we crumble anyway.

They’re just seems to be massive lapses of concentration all of the time at the moment. it’s funny, as a team you look for consistency but we’re consistent with all of the wrong things. Midfield wise, we have good options and they are all good players. But I just don’t think we have the right mix in there. They’re all too similar.

Greaves looks great, really hope we manage to do this one.

Announced 9:30am US time (EDT), sounds like we could have been right?

Could be a stupid thought but maybe they’re timing the announcement with the time in US in mind? good marketing opportunity, I know there’s multiple time zones in the US but it’s a possibility I guess

When the Doyle police become the Doyle… ironic

Or maybe not?

We’re looking at that window with the benefit of hindsight though. We could have got Forrss in January and he could have out scored both of them. Equally he could have stunk the stadium out more than they did I guess we’ll never know

So… now he’s gone, what was he getting up to whilst he was here? I remember people saying there were a few things they’d mention once he was gone.

As a long time reader, occasional poster I appreciate all the ITK info 👍🏻 If people can’t understand that situations like these involving contracts and large sums of money with multiple people involved are volatile and subject to change then that’s really on them

@Lurkerhave you heard anything with regards to strikers recently?

I don’t think we’ll go out of our way to say 15m. it actually suits us for everyone to think 12.5m from a buying point of view.

Like everyone has already alluded to, I think it’s becoming apparent our business is now dependent on us offloading some of the fringe players priority being Spence, and also Prem teams getting they’re targets and letting people go. We’ll confirm Steffen and possibly Muniz and then it’s going to be a case of more patience. Let’s hope we have at least 2 strikers in come the first game of the season.

14 goals in 28 league starts according to the gazette

Personally i think it could be a good signing, i'm willing to give the lad a chance. Only 24, plenty of scope to improve and gives us another option. Strong, quick. Has attributes that can be worked on anyway.

Do you think woodgate might have been lying and there might be more than one?

Got to say, I'm loving hearing woody with the press.. really refreshing after pulis Talks better than I thought he would too

This is the bullet that shot me in the eye
