A servant to our club 💙

Half of me agrees. The other half wanted me to see how he did on loan for a full season to see if he could stay injury free and score a few. A tall order, as you suggest, but when he was fully fit, he was pretty good I thought. But seven figures... For a lad that only featured for us here and there, has a poor injury record early on in his career... I'm slightly sad that another of our own is leaving, and while I've seen a number of doom and gloom comments about our academy, say what you will - it appears to be more than funding itself.

Yes. The club sign players. People form an opinion on whether you think they will be good signings (Morishita) or bad (De Neve). Whether they are correct or incorrect will be judged after a period of time after they’ve settled in and played (or not) for the club. Some people weirdly think that players should be perceived as being “good” until proven otherwise. And if people say they aren’t good signings they are ‘writing them off’, like it’s some unfair crime.

It isn't ? So what are we judging players on then?

How they do isn't really the point is it?

Hello all, Rangers fan here in peace. After being absolutely soul destroyed by watching Russell Martin destroy our season by the end of August I thought I would get my football fix a bit further afield this weekend. I am taking in my first game at Ewood Park tomorrow. I have been looking at places to park and I note the Golden Cup Darwen seems to be a highly recommended place with £10 to park. Does anyone know if it has to be booked in advance or on the day? I tried to call them to check but couldn't get through. Are there any good alternatives in the event that I can't park there? Thanks all in advance.

Yeah, I remember Kurila. His nickname was “ Killer “, not without a reason. Cushley eventually came South to play for West Ham when they needed an hard man amongst their Southern Softies.

Glad someone's reading. Yes you are absolutely right, thanks (seriously), I've had it the wrong way round in my notes for ages. 🙂

Agreed poor move - doesn’t make the Leonard one wrong (if it happens)

We'll get back to you in May. 😉

Couldn't care less if Leonard left. If we can get 7 figures for him then we've done alright there. He's had his chance and his body couldn't hack it. Let the Peterborough physio deal with him now and let's move on.

Why ?? In Suhails world it saves a wage !

Crikey- thought we were all alig.. I mean er, moving in the same direction.

Wouldn't dispute your figures -just going off transfermarket (yes I know)..

Fuck me, the bastards have dug Jack up 😞

Just heard a former hero is on his way back but not in a playing capacity, anybody else heard this ?

That's not a "spend" it's an income of 1.14m Euros

Maybe. But at least its ‘exciting’, as if he reproduces it he should be a success. I don’t get that vibe from most of the others.

Bestriding Ewood like a colossal twat in a onesie, Big Suhail shares his football wisdom with all who dare to listen.. COLOSSAL TWATS OUT!!

The concern around Morishita for me is that it looks like he's just had his Szmodics season. An unbelievable year that coincided with him playing further forward that's a massive outlier to the rest of his career.

We are in danger of being too misty eyed over these academy lads and obviously it's only because we want to see them do well here for our mutual benefit. However a lot of them have been around a while and have stuttered to make the necessary grade one way or another so as long as they get a fee and good add on/sell on, maybe even a buy back, then i'm not too bothered anymore. As long as it opens the door for bringing fresh blood in and isn't just a cashing out exercise.

Leonard is like most of them. If he goes and we bring in a better replacement great. But if we bring in another Telalovic it’s pointless. All depends on who comes in. The signing of Morishita, who looks a level or two above most we have brought in for the last few years, gives me faint hope that somehow we bring in a quality striker. But we should aim for him to be first choice, not some third choice squad replacement.

He was one big unit! You would run from this guy in your boozer! In the early 1960s, before becoming a cult hero at Newcastle, he, John Kurila and John Cushley formed a trio of rugged defenders at Celtic who were nicknamed “the Big Bad Johns” after a hit song in 1961. In his autobiography Ferguson recalled facing McNamee – “the worst of these three frighteners”

It is a bit odd.....maybe we know we're coming up short on our other targets (unsurprisingly) Maybe also he didn't stick up for the lady who's left. If he had, you wouldnt have thought Suhail would be stepping in to block it. It'll probably go through with a raft of add ons taking the fee to a sum that "could" reach an eye watering £1.5m. If Peterbrough reach the Champions League and Harry gets his 10th Cap for England etc etc
