This season will be the one where the academy streak ends. The sense of pride knowing our academy regularly churning out quality championship standard players, I'd say right now not a single player in the academy is of championship standard. A crying shame.

3-0 Brum will do a lineup in a bit. Lost all care for it to be honest. None of em play for the badge, surprised they're even here for the money!

Tyjon not cut out for men's football just yet. Potential is there but not athletic enough for it..

Does anyone else just find it all incredibly boring? There's absolutely no life in the team and no atmosphere. This lot wouldn't look out of place in the Blackburn combination.

If in doubt kick it out... Under 5's stuff.

2 wingers 1 striker and a central midfielder needed.

30mins in and Axel has touched the ball 6 times and made 3 fouls.... Should've started Tyjon who's at least had a pre season with the side.

De Neve cross looked like when the kids go on ewood at the end of the season.. couldn't even get it past the 18yard vid.... Long uphill season

1-0 WBA totally devoid of controlling our own box

Henriksson will cost us this season, 2 very silly fouls. There's being smart and then there's just being daft with it.

3 o'clock special is a ST ad.. This lot are funny

I just find it funny an ad pops up on it advertising the kit with Britain wearing it, when it's an article for the player replacing him...

Has anybody clicked the link to read the article..

Why are we so pressed to sign Baradgi is he so good we are willing to sign him when he's crocked? why is no one else wanting to take the gamble?

I don't think so either, but he edges Montgomery for me.. Just personal opinion though.

Surely him having the world at his feet and now having absolutely nothing in terms of offers etc he will be able to provide knowledge i.e do's and don'ts. it's not like would be on 50k p/w he'd be on PAYP so it'll be upto him to prove it to himself.. Let's face it he's not coming anyway so it doesn't really matter. was all hypothetical like 99% of this thread.

Even if he was at 50% of what he used to have he'd still be better than some and will be invaluable to the kids coming through. pay as you play is the only way it would ever work for him at any club now.

Dele Alli pay as you play. No brainer.

Brad Lyons - Kilmarnock. Ex rovers. Has come on leaps and bounds. I wonder if we had a buy back/sell on Clause? Could provide really good cover both in defence and central midfield. Be a neat addition... Christ we are scraping the bread bin aren't we at this stage..

Would people agree Alebioso is a carbon copy of Zeefuik? Who we had for half a season? Raw, strong, fast.. but little to no footballing ability or brain?

Yeah over 15-20 yards decently pacy... Anything other and he drops off.. hence the burst👍🏼

Proven championship tricky winger with a burst of pace who gives 100% every game is available on a free, Tyrhys Dolan.. think we should look at getting him in, even if it's a trial! We're in need of wingers.

Only 2 pre season friendlies scheduled so far? Some championship teams have 6 booked in... Yikes.

Topi Keskinen from Aberdeen is one on VI and RG radar - they are waiting on Aberdeen's fate in the UEL/UECL before pursuing but see him as an ideal replacement for TD. had a really good euros with Finland but the figure being thrown around is £1M - wages will be smaller or very similar to TD's. Winger from Aberdeen, we've seen it before with Hedges.. hopefully a bit more due diligence done this time around should it cross the line.
