It isn't unable, they're more than capable of signing players as they've proved this summer , it's being unwilling. Something else you always dismiss is just how determined the manager is to keep certain players. Britain he definitely wanted, Travis I don't think he was that bothered , and Hyam they received an offer too good to turn down(understandable but timing terrible). Just because you'd keep them doesn't mean they fit the manager's plans.

I was meaning who finishes higher in the league this season.

They've just sorted 10 contracts out, it isn't a case of can't. If players aren't signing then sell them, that much has definitely been learned . Whatever is going on, it most definitely isn't a continuation of the last few years, as you keep eluding to.

He also said we're paying for past managerial mistakes, we can't afford for players who aren't signing to walk away for nothing.

Be interesting to see if he can prove himself better than Eustace this season.

Don't know, but I know we've struggled holding onto even older ones in the past.

Not sure how much choice the club has when it comes kids, someone will know .

Exactly

I'm not obsessed, I just like to point out how one eyed a view it was about the pairing .

Well not really, it suggests it was Hyam making Batth look good rather than the other way round

The posts coming out of Derby would suggest it's Batth missing Hyam rather than the other way round.

Depends if he's still up to it, a fit Dawson would most definitely be an upgrade, but it's a big if. Pity he wasn't as well as rather than instead of

Says 24th June,hadn't even returned for preseason training then had they? Would have already happened surely.

You've just started the ball rolling

Someone mentioned Liam Cooper last night, don't know what he's up to, he was watching Leeds last week.

I tend to not believe any of it from either side. It's made easier because a lot of it is quite literally unbelievable.

I think there needs to be a distinction made between not believing what the club says, and not liking what they say. Some of the rumours people believe because it suits their purpose are mad.

Be interesting to see who emerges as the best manager this season

Not being argumentative at all, yes the Hyam timing could see us short, but the point still stands on all 3.

Aye, the Hyam one could bite them on the arse, got a feeling Pears wlil come back into the fold

Top and bottom of it is, we've got enough players, it's just whether the new players prove good enough. They'll live or die by the results.

There does seem to be a lot of uproar from the same people who've been calling Travis, Britain and Hyam 3 of the "rubber dinghy men " for the last couple of seasons. There's no doubt some on here rate them a lot higher since we sold them. 🤔

We weren't comfortably in the top 6 though, none of us could believe we were still there if I remember right. We'd won 2 from 11.

Someone saying Hyam deal collapsed apparently

I asked the question , he/she said it's genuine. What more can you do ?
