  1. Or boycott the rest of the ground, these with a voice pack the JW, turn backs to the pitch and chant constantly at the regime. Too comfortable with most of the noise coming from the end of the ground, in the same stand in front of them really turns up the heat. Even more so whilst on Sky.
  2. Exactly. My post was in response to the several posts before it questioning why we keep signing 6ft and athletic players. There's no doubt we are selling off players in the last year of their contract and signing players to replace for less money but those players could be any size and type. There is a common theme which suggests there may be some thought behind it. Doesn't mean it's right, doesn't mean they are better and it doesn't mean I like what's happening. No dressing up required
  3. so you pay less for 6ft plus players you believe???
  4. I think on the topic of tall athletic players, it has something to do with the energy and press but also to win the ball more across the pitch and defend set pieces. Maybe even be a threat ourselves. I like Baradji as a signing. Injury is a concern but the deal makes sense. I wouldnt turn on Travis, he's been a great servant and someone I've enjoyed watching and its hard to see him go but sometimes you need to try something different to realise the path to move forward. Baradji and Tavares both seem more mobile and athletic to not only put the tackles in and keep things tight but to also get us up the pitch. Travis and Tronstad have often been a wall and a great pairing but it does then limit us going forwards. Did find it funny that Val gave a BBC interview about not wanting loans and an hour later we announce a loan signing...
  5. How many appearances since he left us? Tells you everything...
  6. Problem with this idea is where is the moment coming from to sing about our club?
  7. I'll say it again, isn't this exciting...club just dulls my mood, has done all summer and for the most part of the Venky reign ๐Ÿคฎ
  8. Probably one of the finest posts I've read on here. Could have included a Swede to the theme if only a medical wasn't taking 3 days
  9. If Michalski is backup, does it not stop his progress. Usually the younger squads play the same day so is there not a risk he barely plays any football and just benefits from 1st team training barring a Toth injury, suspension or collapse of form?
  10. He's not Polish, assuming you mean Pululu? No way he is coming here. He is at least a level above if not 2. Shame, would have liked to have seen him here but that would mean delivering the excitement...
  11. Palulu looks a good player, similar style to the Beradji lad we were close to signing, though a different position. Like others have said, seems a level above us at least though he does only have a year left on so contract. Interesting read on his international career where he was called up by Angola but withdrew for health reasons, then switched alliance to DR Congo, got a call up and withdrew due to injury. Apparently cleared his insta account of all things Jagiellona suggesting a move is imminent or he's upset with them

  13. Dolan signing for Coventry apparently. Must be the run and assist he did at their place last season!
  14. Oxford midfielder from Holland, the Finish winger from Holland also jump to mind
  15. Haven't Brittain, Travis and Tronstad all publicly stated they want to stay and extend their contracts?
  16. Candas Fiogbe link...don't get excited. Not even worth uploading his youtube reel. Titled Benin superstar but of course that doesn't take a lot. Scores a variety of finishes albeit that was 4 in a 2minute video where the same goal is replayed 3 times, 2 of which were tap ins. Demeanour of a Balotelli I'd say too
  17. Personally only see us signing a CB and either an Attacking Mid or a RW. Based on what we have, assuming no one else leaves apart from Dolan and the talk around youth development. Not saying it's what I'd do, not saying it supports the "exciting summer" we were promised but looking at what we have and based on 2 options for each position ish, it's what I think will develop from here
  18. Maybe not the right thread but as it gets most views and a need to lighten the mood..
  19. Being posted on several accounts though. Either copying each other or something in it
  20. Thanks KentExile. Tyrone and Higgins have been all the talk and I remember how well Phillips was spoken of coming through as was Wharton. I knew of Eze but just hadn't picked up on any particular hype
  21. Teenage sensation? I don't get to watch the youth sides often but keep eye through here and the website. I don't recall Eze getting much hype to be called a teenage sensation or to the tune that Milan or Juventus would come knocking. Have I missed it?
