The only exception to that ruling would be if the club had fewer than 23 players in their senior playing squad, in which case they would be allowed to bring in a free transfer or free loan without breaking the embargo.

Theyve numerous kits to promote. The likes of Tronstad, Hyam, Carter, Cantwell etc are also missing. Maybe theyll promoted the away kit. Also, no way is anyone paying that for him even if he does go.

Exeter away 🤞

Lashers away.

£6.50 was quite pricey for a gig ticket in 1981.

And that is with the last two figures being pence.

No chance of cash out to get Cashin

We'll have to swap half our squad

Eiran Cashin is leaving Brighton on loan apparently. Left footed centre back who they bought from Derby 6 months ago. With our relationship with Brighton, and it being a position that we need I could see us going for him. Also kicks the can down the road for a permanent signing back there which they love to do.

I don't think "Bionic" Bradshaw achieved the heights expected of him either. Died last year, only 67

Sheffield utd replacing wilder with a manager that failed badly at Southampton is a bizarre appointment Edit. I got him confused with the Southampton manager from last season.

By the same logic, Travis and Brittain won't be sold in this window as they're in the marketing. Yet most would not be surprised if at least one of them is gone by September.

Think there are a few of us who remember Butcher! When Paul Bradshaw left for Wolves I remember Butcher's girl friend telling me at the time 'John will be better than Paul and go on to play for England'! Think my response was simply 'let's wait and see'!

Definitely the silly season ... Leeds United midfielder, Ao Tanaka thought to be of interest to a number of championship clubs. Leeds want at least £8m for the versatile oriental. Blackburn Rovers most keen, but are only willing to do a swap deal.

Hmmm... While the current squad has declined a bit since 2021 (when Kane, Walker and Stones were in their pomp) - I would say the current squad is substantially better than the one Southgate first ran with in 2018. The raw bones for 2026 are there - Kane still going, Bellingham and Rice are proven talents at CL level, quite a lot of talented attacking players (Palmer, Saka, Gordon, Eze). The three things we need to do are : 1) sort out the central defence (our number one problem). Since the Euros we have been very unsettled. I would just commit to Guehi and Stones as a pair as it worked well, but injuries have disrupted this. 2) Get the "pivot" in central midfield sorted to smooth out our play through the middle (has to be Wharton surely?) and get the best out of the attacking players 3) Find the right setup for Kane up front. I think we need to drop playing a number 10 as Kane wants to do that himself. Need players around him who focus on getting forward, and work their nuts off on and off the ball. I guess my team would be Gordon Kane Saka Bellingham Wharton Rice Lewis-Skelly Guehi Stones Alexander Arnold Pickford I am not happy about the defensive quality of our full backs, but maybe seems our best options above. But I think it is a hard ask for Tuchel to say he i significantly worse off in his squad than Southgate.

Hee Hee Chaplin's inside the Oak Tree which is now a Tesco Express. There's a blast from the past. Not all things change for the better sadly.

Nobbers at Dumpdale

I remember Butch very well. Obviously an admission that we are old timers. 🙂

Well one of those 2 is no loss at all but the other is a crucial loss. Any team needs heart not just ability. Travis has it.

I’ve found some old concert tickets 🙂. Here’s #1 Genesis at the NEC in December 1981. Hadn’t long passed my driving test, borrowed my aunty’s Mini, drove down from Accrington after work, got home roughly 2am…in work for 8am. Oh to be young & foolish…😁

I think it’s likely to be Pears and Travis to be flogged, Tonstadt and Brittain to stay. Imagine they can’t wait to get Travis’ salary off the books and I reckon Pears will be on a decent whack as well. He came in from Boro under Mowbray

Sounds like us, but it's our owners that put us under said restrictions, not the governing body.....

The Premier League have said there being no Boxing Day games is due to their commitment to give players more time between matches during the festive period - but they added that games can be moved to Boxing Day for TV. He who pays the piper calls the tune.
