We could easily create more space in the squad by buying up the contracts of Tavares & Kargbo and giving them free transfers. Not gonna happen, but it should. At least(according to what I see) de Neve & Henriksson are putting the effort in, albeit not good enough at this level. Any spare spaces go to the best performing academy lads. BTW where is Jake Garrett?

Good points, Cadamarteri would offer youth but also some experience. We've also been linked with him before so it looks like he was already in their thoughts.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1lzv94qnpyo.amp Castore’s justification for their high prices…🫣

I think the hype has potentially died down - he hasn't played a great deal this season afaik.

Remember this?

In Rudy's world, all the returning players from injury are like new signings, why do we need new signings? Guess what, once the transfer window closes, these players will be injured one by one and we will be back to square one.

If better sign up for that day release course on contract law.

My calculation for Kargbo had him ‘scraping through’ by around 20 minutes playing time** Clearly this is well within the margin of error for me having messed up the maths!! ** it might even have been closer than that.

It'd wager that's why we're only after the Sheff Weds lad, beyond being generally vultures. I'm still thinking about experienced league one striker suits more, but in the words of Stevie V Money talks, money talks

I really hope we don't get Castore. I follow Republic of Ireland and IMO the Castore shirts have been rubbish designs and rubbish quality for several years, the prices are also way higher than the Macron Rovers shirts as well.

I think Jorgensen would have needed an ESC slot, Baradji & Henriksson also take up one each (neither of those can be switched until the summer) If Jorgensen is an ESC player, they must have switched Toth to a GBE, Wilsden was also of the opinion that Kargbo could have been switched over by now too. Without doing the maths, I will take him at his word So we either have one left (if Kargbo has been switched), or none, if he hasn't

You can imagine that all the other competitors (Nike, Umbro/Castore etc.) will be looking on as well, if we lose, thinking, we're not working with that company going forwards unless the terms are super favourable to the supplier.

Think they'll just pick whoever's cheapest, won't be long till we're in Sunday League outfitter pendle sportswear & they're celebrating it as using a local supplier

Where are we on ESC slots, have we registered Toth?

Ismael seems outspoken but changes his wording as things transpire. Best chance to get on board with the fans is to be truthful and speak out against the 'regime'. A few days left, so I will pass my final juddgement when the transfer window is shut but it's not looking too bright is it.

You would have to think Macron in bringing this action would be very reluctant whatever the outcome to consider doing business in the future with the club which is another own goal by the club in restricting future kit options.

"I'd like to get into the depths of trying to understand how many breaches of the supplier contract we've had"

Agreed Val is a yes man tbh eventually found one

The other 2 were also not "aligned" to anywhere near the same extent as Ismael is He is far from our biggest issue, but he is at the very least complicit in the past years demolition of a squad that challenged for the play offs past year Maybe he would not be so aligned if he had other options? But his performance/the teams form since he joined has meant that he has no other options. If he stays quiet and doesn't kick up a stink after what we all know will be a damp squib of a transfer window, then I think he will be here until the end of his contract (barring a remarkable turnaround in form which will see hum suddenly gain a voice and shortly thereafter depart for greener pastures)

And got sent off for it.

This club of ours just Cannot do anything the right way.

I see what you mean, there's no point taking him early for more money because he can develop the same here and will be nowhere near their first team. I kinda wondered why they were bothering to buy him ahead of time even in the summer, and my guess is either because otherwise they might lose out on him to someone else, or because they wanted support in their youth team. Interest in him seems to have increased, Villa and Manure have been linked since the summer and I don't think they were previously. No surprise as he's now coming to the end of his contract so is on the verge of being just training compo. If anyone were serious about him they'd just pay a bit more now to steal a march on their rivals. I suspect nobody is all that fussed about him, including Arsenal, or surely they'd have a go at getting him now for 500k which I bet we'd accept, so that nobody else does.

McLoughlin just stood in the dock, looking baffled 😄

Looks like Suhail is defence counsel what could go wrong.
