I see Sam morsey looks like he’s moving from Ipswich - add that to Phillips returning to city and luongo leaving would they revisit a permanent deal for Travis given his contract situation? They seem very light in that area 

He only played about 200 minutes when he was there last time

Brittain will be a loss I don’t know how anybody could think differently 

 

Defensively not amazing but he didn’t half whip some great crosses in at times last season. Sad to see him go personally.

Must be nice supporting a team where every summer doesn’t feel on the verge of catastrophe. Feels like we start every summer on the weakest of back foots. Yet some feel the Venkys are doing us a solid. Baffling

You dont understand.

If he was a contracted academy player, then yes they would.

Because he's a free agent, whether it's a trial for the first team or academy then he would be listed as "trialist" to not give his identity away.

That's why you see "trialist" on most pre season team sheets over the summer.

And I was saying he’d be a trialist intended for the academy

Trialist a player for the academy rather than the first team according to Elliot.

Thought they’d just name him if it was…

Just now, Exiled_Rover said:

Wonder who the trialist is.

Bound to just be one for the youth team surely

Honestly Mafoumbi is genuinely crucial to any plans we have surely?

Elliott completely blanking me when I ask if he's there for pre season too

To be fair, he doesn’t have to respond to every question asked of him. 
He’ll be on a poor salary what with writing for a local newspaper, last thing he’ll want is to spend his spare time trawling through some of the incessant questions he gets on twitter.

Remember Gueye away to WBA last season. He was amazing.

No, what happened?

Could be an educated guess though as all signs point to Brittain extending 

Hope you’re right, haven’t seen many of these signs you refer to myself though

Can guarantee only 1 of those things happens and it’s the one we all now know about

Did we have the budget to only scout one game last season? And they chose a Belgian league relegation 6 pointer?

Extremely inexperienced with just one full season under his belt in which he played for the worst club in Belgium and had an average season. 

I suspect there’s traction in this one. 

Just Kargbo for the other side of the pitch. Attacks are going to end up down blind alleys more than a drunkard needing a piss

I'm not convinced on this - from watching him live and looking at his stats, he works harder off the ball that most in the team.

This improved moreso when VI came in.

It's been his decisions on the ball that have been inconsistent so far, though the quality of players around him have played a part in this.

I can’t think who else is going to play there to be honest. I thought Dolan was so poor when he was trying to be in that position earlier in the season. People saying Eustace got the best out of Dolan when his only good spell of the season was under Ismael, baffles me

This might be one of those rare occasions. It’s hardly a stretch to say it might be true.

But also very easy to make up

The fact we’re relying on something called SCOUTASTIC to identify players is the biggest revelation of the window so far. 

 

You can imagine that’s budget too. Like Tanfastic was to the tanning world

Poku going to QPR for 900k... 

 

Whilst we're scouring Europe for weird unproven players... Christ.

Would have happily signed him but you could also argue Poku is unproven at this level

Apparently Tavares is out for a month...What a start! 

I guess he’ll feel like a new signing when he’s back…

One transfer I’m fairly sure has happened is hair from one part of Pears’ head to another. The lad hasn’t taken his hat off all summer. Must have been to Turkey on the quiet.

i find it quite alarming that val is bigging forshaw up in the local press🙄,like he`s going to be a regular starter

Be a bit mad to come out and call him shite after he’s just signed a contract

Apologies, my mistake. 

Although does in my defence have a very similar posting style and opinions.

 

This guy is clearly a mentally unwell man with nothing better to do

If we're paying a fee up to 2 million, he's not being brought in to sit on the bench is he?

Didn’t mention the Portuguese lad to be fair.. 

Why are people saying Forshaw signing means Travis or Tronstad leaving? Do we not remember they were all in the same squad a month or so ago????

Feels like the time we signed all those Portuguese lads. 

Because we’re signing one?

Because he wasn’t good enough for Tranmere
