This would be a big move. A good striker would be a game changer and could put us in with an outside chance of the top 6. Ryoya, a good striker, and an-in form Cantwell would be a very good forward line at this level.

That's old chestnut, lets not believe it, cos I don't agree yet the ref in real time give a yellow, replays always make it look much worse than it is.

He's gone in at force and he's out of control, proven by the fact he has actually 'tried' to pull out of it but is so out of control that he can't and has still ended up raking him down the calf.

Euro to pounds is almost the same, 1 euro to 86p. You are just ignoring the facts here by trying again to minimal them. You read the minutes and the question was asked about funds received from players sales being reinvested in the budget and buying people. I am annoyed by how Eustace handled but has I said also Rovers did. No way should he been allowed to take charge of Wolves game given he was going Derby. Like I said, you ignored facts that come out after they leave like Eustace knew about the Derby approach on Friday but told the fans he just found out post match on Sunday, yet you have no problem with that for some reason. Which I think is weird to say. I prefer Ismael cos of the way he handled the Brittain and Travis situation and told us the supporters the truth. Yet you think Travis was thrown under the bus. Also he is more suited to our overseas transfer approach where as Eustace isn't. Which all that you ignore for Eustace who you adore for some reason

It's great to watch the welcome videos and see players that are genuinely excited and buzzing to be joining us. It's a big opportunity for many of them to enhance their careers and I'm sure that was the intention to buy hungry players with a point to prove. McLaughlin is the only one you would say has made a sideways move and perhaps has the least to prove. It makes a big difference in the dressing room if you have players that genuinely want to be here compared to players in the last year of their deal and probably looking for an exit.

Yup, almost feels like ‘we’ leak a name to create some noise and then go hard at the actual target. Afolayan - Mori // Drameh - Miller // kapaudi - McLoughlin // Soumano -…..

No clue with that Maybe Fulham's good U18s from last season are now O18? Youth football can be very cyclical

Looking pretty much nailed on that Travis (£3M) & Buckley (£1M) will be added to Brittain (£3.5M) & JRC (£1M) in the very near future

IF we sell Hyam, I reckon we’ll go with Carter and Miller until January before we reasses. Just a hunch.

7 nil now I see. Vare with a hat trick, Joseph with 2. I wonder if Fulham fielded a weaker side with it being the cup.

As it stands, we do seem to have spent more than got from outgoings this window. Bear with me. I'm discounting the shedloads from Adam etc, sell on fees for Raya etc. Also, the plenty saved on wages. Thus expenditure just this window circa euros 7.732m. Incoming this window circa euros 3.87 euros (assuming for a round number 3m for Brittain). Now they may just be happy to fund this 3.86m gap but with a week to go in the transfer market, and given previous, then to plug the gap it would seem clear that some ‘assets’ will leave: Travis? Buckley? Pears? Leaonard? Hyam? Tronstad? But surely too soon. And in case it is not abundantly clear, I think that not reinvesting some of the incoming over the last few years tells you all you need to know about this club.

Is he willing to be paid in buttons and accept being put up in the Training Ground?

Venkys don’t care and Pasha (bless him) thinks him and his mate RG can beat the system by scouring the market for cheap foreign imports. It 10000% is a strategy, and VI is ok with it, where JE wasn’t. The mission of that leadership team is to retain Championship status while reducing the burden on their masters. The theory here is to make the club sustainable by utilising esc slots, buying cheap and selling high. They’ve washed their hands of the British golden handshake brigade and as far as they’re concerned, Eustace, Travis, Batth, Weimann et al can toddle off, on their big money contracts because they think they’ve got this thing nailed. I’m not even entertaining the sabotage narrative, because honestly, I don’t think Venkys care enough to bother.

5 first year scholars, 5 2nd year scholars, all U18, and Theo Pitt who is 15 I think 7-0 now, 15 minutes left

Chaddy should get a job working for the police or as a Judge. He has the ability to determine whether a man is lying or telling the truth based purely on what he says and this being printed in the newspaper. If only the world was so simple.

That's highly unexpected. We fielded a strong team with some u21 regulars or something?

Beat me to it.

get him sacked !

He was very loosely linked earlier in the window I think. Hasn't played a competitive game for over 3 years. But might be a better option to sit on the bench than Michelski, as it would allow him to play games for the Under 21's and maybe even a National League loan.

That old chestnut. No one is ever "that type of player." He probably didnt go out to injure him, he was probably just pumped up. But his challenge was high, wreckless and out of control and a red card was to be expected.

I dont think you have factored in that most of the fees bandied around have been in Euros. Also, dont just take the idea that fees received have no impact on the budget. Use logic, we have made a lot in completed and soon to be completed sales. Obviously thats why we have spent more than expected. Im not overly interested in what they say. If you want people to be annoyed with regarding Eustace's departure, how about the owners, Suhail and to a lesser extent the likes of Gestede and Owen. They are the ones that pissed off another manager to the point of leaving. Point is, you always rate the current manager higher than those who have gone before who you only start to criticise upon their departure. Always the case, everyone knows. You prefer Ismael to Eustace because he is the manager now, no other reason.

Optimistic for Saturday, thought we did well against Brum then the big win last weekend. We look poor in attack but the new lads just signed plus rumours around a striker might change that by Saturday.

Yes from early showings DeNeve and Henrikson look well below the standard.

U18s 6-0 up vs Fulham at half time
