Call me bitter but f*ck the money and f*ck him... I hope he turns into a lower league journeyman.
Same goes for Finneran.
I want both to be examples to these cocky little pricks who are thinking of using us and f*cking us off at the first smell of a bigger club.

Concerned the LT keeps mentioning Germain as a wing option... Surely this is just poor reporting and Jackson thinking he's a winger rather than the club considering him a winger when he's not.

Mate, these f*ckers have turned us into Oliver Twist... Ragged gloves, counting our pennies, going to clubs cap in hand with what ever bits of scrap we have and are being told to "f*ck off"... We're at the bottom of the food chain, waiting for wealthier clubs to cast off their unwanted scraps. Eustace pretty much paints that picture for me.
Considering how much money has come in, it shouldn't be this way...
Hate those bastards.

Translates as... We've inquired about the players we want, they're currently too expensive and we're waiting until they get desperate for them to lower their valuations.
Confident we won't spend more than 2 million, in fact i wouldn't be at all surprised to see both Drommel and Matonda on "loan to buy's"... Germain for a few 100k and that's your lot.

Seems to me it's the winger and keeper where they want to spend what change we have and are waiting for the A list targets to come down in valuation as we get closer to the deadline. They won't want to spend any of that budget until those players are signed up, hence the Germain hold up.
I've got a feeling Drommel will be one that gets done. Considering he wants to leave and we want him. That should just be a formality to sort out but it's Rovers we're talking about... If he comes on loan to buy, it might give us a bit extra to spend maybe.

The big key is, one is cheap, and the other isn't.
Also one is a winger, one isn't. Guessing the discussions are along the lines of "we have a budget for 4 more players, if we sign Germain, we won't be able to get..."
In my opinion we're still light up front. Jack Vale needs f*cking off, small fee or find him a club and terminate. Still need winger, a left back and a keeper. That's bare minimum.
I'm still not happy with Hyam. If we could find a buyer and get someone else that would be ideal.

Surely they know Germain isn't a winger based on the fact that he just simply isn't a winger, he's a centre forward. I bet they're trying to get rid of Vale to buy Germain.

Another GK option to come available
Dan Bentley at Wolves.
Wolves making a loan move for Ramsdale this week.
Bentley was always decent for Bristol City and knows this league.
definitely take him over Ruddy.
Premier league player = premier league wages. I'd personally forget that market all together. Champ, league 1 or small European clubs is our market.

There are no easy games in this league and Oxford will certainly be no exception. That aside and with all respect in the world... These are the games we desperately need to be winning this season. Our home form last season, especially against the sides around us at the bottom was absolutely awful and that needs to change this season. We've started in a much better manner, let's not ruin it.
3 points are vital, anything less is a poor result.

From what we’ve seen so far, neither of the two new strikers have more than 60 minutes in them. In that case we need subs that can take over.
On this... I think this also comes down to a change of style in play, high press is a lot more demanding and the top clubs often make subs to forward players to keep it affective. That's why more attacking players like Ryo are needed. Wouldn't imagine big Mac lasts many 90 mins this season.

Stoke also signing a Japanese player. Seems like a few championship clubs are looking to the J league for potential value.

He’s a risk anyway.
I’m tired of reading about cover and competition. We need some starters in. The guys we’ve got now can be the cover and competition.
The manager said exactly this after the game. Doesn't want squad fillers, said he can use the kids for that, wants players to come in and improve us.
With that said, I hope he does his best to ship out Hyam and do whatever it takes for James Hill... An unused sub yesterday. (Highly unrealistic I know)

So Ruddy is actively first choice and we would revert to a far superior and younger option as a back up? Bizarre.
"May have to turn" made me laugh... Images of a blind folded Waggot in an office chair throwing darts at walls full of pictures of players.
FFS just turn.... It's a 38 year old, useless fat iceberg right in front of you. GET A DECENT KEEPER. We're desperate.

Ryo Germain stats are awful, never managed over 10 goals in a season and the one season he came close was in the Japanese 2nd division.
It's a fair comment. Does seem like a one season wonder so far but considering he's probably going to cost next to nothing it's very low risk. At least you're buying a player full of confidence in current goal scoring form. Some players can just be late bloomers. Japanese players seem to be very hard working and if he can come in and match Gallaghers output, get 7-8 goals with a few assists it would be decent business. I don't mind us taking the gamble at such low risk.

Think we can all laugh at the Stanfield links.
A good window from now would be Germain, Iverson and Poku which would cost less than Stanfield.
Good to hear the right names it's just I only believe Germain will be the one to be realistic or likely to get done (cheap).

Watching the goals back... Feel like Hyam didn't do enough on both goals. Didn't get tight enough to Sargent for the first and didn't throw himself to block the cross for the 2nd, just half hearted sticks a leg out. You need your centre halves to die for 3 points and I never feel he does.

I don’t think Peterborough will be rushing to sell and with the man making the decisions their end it will be a difficult. Can’t see us paying anything close to what he’ll ask for and can see competition offering much better package than we can.
I agree, does seem like one of those that we would all love to happen but someone with more money will come in. Out of contract next summer so I doubt their manager will want him to leave on a free which is the only thing that gives me a sliver of hope.

This Poku fella just isn’t happening, rumour started from a fake ITK.
Extremely disappointed that we are still not close to anyone, especially since we’ve just flogged our star player for 10m. The club will of known Szmodics was always going to happen so we should have players lined up ready to go.
Eustace must be pulling his hair out.
Venkeys out!
I heard this elsewhere.

My thoughts...
I actually didn't think we were defensively that poor, I wanted to see us defend better from set pieces and I thought we did that well. We cut off passing lines well in the first half and looked hard to break down, hence why the home fans started to get on their back and boo them. The issue today was the individual errors from Pears and Brittain also just being sloppy with the ball in key areas.
You expect them to come out at us in the 2nd half, especially at 1-0 down and for the most part we were doing ok, Brittain has to just hold his hand up and learn to not do that in our own half as fine margins/mistakes can cost you in this league.
I'm surprised at some of the negativity, not that there isn't anything to be negative about but there are plenty of positives aswell. A point away from home against Norwich is nothing to grumble about and I'm proud of the players to find a way to take something from the game when they could have possibly folded and ended up 3-1 down. It shows we can be competitive this season and can mix it with a team who finished much much higher than we did.
At this level the players we have will always have flaws, it's the same for every team in this league possibly with the exception of Burnley (unfortunately). We can see where the glaring issues are, we desperately need a goal keeper of good quality. Even though I thought he coped well today, I think we can do better than Pickering, or at least find someone with potential to challenge him, he'd be the perfect squad player. It's easy to be knee jerk and call Brittain this and that but he's a decent player. Someone mentioned he and JRC being swapped might be the answer and they might have something there. Brittain's mobility might be better suited further forward and JRC's strength be more useful at the back because at the moment he's not offering much in midfield.
A few words have been said about the manager and his tactics. I was quite surprised and thought this was very reminiscent of a JDT performance, all 3 games have been in fact. It looks noticeably different from last season's style of play, we look at lot braver on the ball where last season he took a lot less chances. This was the main reason for the sloppiness and errors we made today. Which is the hard life of a manager, you get slated for being negative like last season and you'll get slated for being more adventurous. I'll certainly give him credit for pushing the players to improve and take risks, I just hope he can find a balance. To hear him say he's disappointed to not win is really positive aswell. The way he speaks at the moment fills me with a lot of hope, he's saying all the right things and hopefully the club back him because he's shown early doors that he deserves it.
A few mentions to Gueye, Ohashi and Trostad...
I keep saying it but Gueye is a big problem for teams in this league. Won more headers in the first 10 mins than Gallagher would win in a season. His hold up play is good, he's confident, he's mobile, really hope he gets his first league goal next week.
Now, before I go on, I'm in no way saying this lad is as good but... Ohashi's goal reminded me of Shearer, the way he got across his man to head across the keeper into the corner reminded me a lot of big Al. It's funny he mentioned him in his first interview because his general playing style reminds me of him. The way he cracked one against the underside of the bar against Stockport and being a similar height to him and gets up for headers extremely well. A cult hero already.
Trosntad was again busy, industrious, clever, tidy and saved our arse in the first half. Classy operator.
Hedges, class player. Athletic, good engine, technically blessed and a proper grafter. Hopefully we can keep him fit.
On to a very winnable game against Oxford, this has been a great start so far following a miserable season. Hopefully we can add some more quality to the team to give us more reasons to be looking up rather than looking down.
Despite if you're a glass half full or a glass half empty type of supporter I think after last season it's worth while to enjoy these early season ups and take every point as a valuable one, especially away from home.

His dad was heavily involved I believe. Insisted on a small buy out clause to leave which I'm guessing has privately been agreed with Spurs on his end.
Whatever the case, we go f*coed over by him and his representatives.
