Maybe he's fed up like the rest of us.

He refused to play (table tennis with the new lads at the STC) so we've had no choice but to sell him.

I really, truly hope this is sarcasm. Or nuance is becoming a lost art.

Absolutely drowning in contract extensions.

Or give Hyam a pay rise rather than expecting him to sign on the same terms?

I don't imagine the club would divulge information like that in a public domain. But that being said, I don't think I've ever seen an official club photo where a cap is being worn by a player on every available image.

How long before we get an under/over market on "here we go" social posts?

So, I think it was @Ossydave who said it was off because we wanted more. Sounds like he may have been on the money.

Remarkable we were better with 10 men than 11, we looked organised and more dangerous in the second half. Hedges had a good game, looked hungry throughout , Toth doesn't give me jitters every time he has the ball and Alebiosu looks so far to be the best of our signings this summer. The season before last we couldn't keep a clean sheet, last season we didn't score enough to turn draws into wins. I fear the backline looks weaker and we've not really added much in attack (yet). So there's some work to do over the final days/hours of the window. Poor defending for the second goal just backing off inviting Sargent to strike. Ohashi and Gueye offered very little, mainly because they're offside more often than not. Tavares needs a rocket up his ass, he looks lackadaisical and without the quality to back it up.

@BinoBear hope you enjoyed the match as a neutral. Would be Interesting to get your take on how we looked as a team.

Can't wait until we sign a striker who can stay onside.

Can't believe I'm saying this but, I'd keep Hedges on, he's been our best player imo, followed closely by Alebiosu.

Well, that's one take. Mine is that we have yet to have a shot on target and whilst the possession may be equal, they've looked twice as threatening as we have.

Kargbo does look slower than last season, I'm convinced. I don't know if he's been told to slow down but Hedges looks like road runner in comparison.

It might be my eyesight, but Hedges looks as quick as Kargbo and is obviously better on the ball (which is difficult for me to say out loud).

Went to see Khruangbin at Piece Hall last Sunday, good gig and a great venue as others have said. first time I've been there for a gig and it's exceptional. Obviously you take your chance weather wise for an outdoor gig, but the fact you could get a beer within 60 seconds of queueing up and there's no snaked lines for the loo.

To be fair, we've finished one place shy of the playoffs twice in three seasons and we've had multiple managers begging for reinforcements to help the quality we already had, get over the line, and it's fallen on deaf ears every time. It's a gamble we're taking and the proof will be in the pudding, I'm nonchalant about it - which probably tells it's own story.

.

Doesn't appear to be. He played a total of 5 minutes in the opening 2 games of the season and then hasn't been selected for the squad over the past 2 games. I've looked around and can't see anywhere where it says he's injured. He just seems out of favour. Gent do have a new manager this season, so maybe that's part of it.

That can't be correct. Everyone's aligned now remember.

One of the issues with modern day football in my opinion and what's making it cumbersome to watch or enjoy. What is he even saying in that interview? I know we don't see him day in and day out, but would you run through brick walls for him? I'm getting the same way with Slot, he struck me as a bit arrogant last year at times, but he was being fawned over because it was all working. Two games in this season and he sounded like a right dick talking about Newcastle's approach being "not football". We all know the ultra Dutch way gets found out in this country.

Pretty much where my head went when news about Hyams contract offer started bubbling.

Some people stating "we don't know the truth about Trav" and similarly people are talking about the player liaison officer stating "she's out of order for saying that". Essentially on a hiding to nothing because there's no universal way to approach it that would appease every single fan. My view on these matters are always the same. Whether you believe what VI has said or what Trav has stated at times (e.g. the lack of a contract offer). Both will have their own agenda for their own reasons, the truth is likely somewhere in the middle.

If there's anything to this rumour, then well done to the folk who attended the fans forum. Ultimately, I think we need Venkys to leave to make the necessary strides forward as a team and club. However, any pressure that releases the purse strings can only be a positive. Regardless of my personal opinions on anyone involved in running the place.

Would he be eligible to sign outside of requiring an ESC slot?
