I thought as much. Ribeiro I presume already had a deal agreed prior to his initial signing if both parties agreed to it. Forshaw would probably have signed anything we waved under his nose as he wouldn't have any other offers. So we either have nobody at the club capable of structuring a contract renewal, or we simply do not want to - i fail to see how it can't be 1 of these 2 scenarios and either is equally as pathetic for a championship club, well any pro football club really. I can't blame Brittain for wanting out because at 27 years old this is his last meaty contract before be passes 30 and starts getting offered shorter less lucrative deals. He could have gone about it better though, refusing to play is a cunts trick. Suppose he'll have seen it worked for Szmodics though so he's now expecting the same.

Hyam must be on a half decent contract as you assume we had to offer him a bit more than he was already on at Coventry, a new contract would presumably make him one of our highest paid players - if this new contract offer even exists of course.....

Have I completely forgotten someone, or has no player signed a new contract since Greg left? First team players not youngsters.

You shouldn't refuse to play for the team regardless of your intentions tbf, it's obviously not Brittain's fault were owned and ran by twats, but as it stands we still pay his wages.

Seems to be am obvious strategy with the transfers this summer of targeting players from relegated teams, unless its pure coincidence of course. They really ought to change the filters on the scouting software a bit now though and get a striker and centre half in 🤞 You'd expect we get probably 2 or 3 loan players in, so no sure how many, if any, more permanent signings we'll make....

To Madeira still available?

He won't even have been there back end of the season as he was at St Mirren, not saying that makes him a better signing in any way like. Must have been a decent pedigree playing for Arsenal's youth but seems to have gone backwards. So as back up maybe decent enough, as a Brittain replacement absolutely not

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c62gd25ydzwo Although in the speech I heard she quoted a number of teams who'd been impacted by dreadful owners, no mention of us though. Suppose keeping the lights on, just, means they're OK to some....

Just ridiculous stubbornness now and won't admit he was talking shite. Players often divide opinion, Tronstad isn't one of them, he's universally rated by our fans, apart from 1 person 🙄

The comment by frostbite adds weight to the assumption we recruit via football manager……

I don’t remember him at all, worryingly his highest rating in a match for Cardiff came against us at Ewood too 😂

He's not really unproven playing at the level he has for Brondby and he's just made his debut for the national team, I'd be made up if we took a punt on him

I'd be amazed if he wants to go to Turkey, he'd 100% favour a move in the North West to be near family.

Just watched a YouTube clip (i know), his year in review 2024, its actually frightening, just gives the ball away almost every attack 🤣

What’s so good about it? Was pretty basic when I went?

And just like that, Chaddy thinks we are going to spend the cash and have a few active pursuits lined up - everything is perfect! Nice one Nixon.

Logically how hard can it really be to finalise a contract with a player? I mean seriously? Make an offer, player rejects it and says what he wants, make a counter offer meeting him half way, maybe a bit more. I mean no disrespect to him it’s Callum Brittain, it’s not like negotiating with someone like Salah. But we’ve been through this really shit pantomime countless times now an 9 times out of 10 it doesn’t end well for us. The only time we’ve had any competence at all was when GB was here, he had his critics but had a much better idea when it came to contracts than anyone else under this regime.

Even by Chaddy standards that an absurd comment 😶

Street parking near the Vine pub, get yourself a curry and a pint then walk down 👍

Burnley's sponsor's blue and white, blue and white, they hate Burnley 🎶

Hull spent about 27m last season, you just know this is going to get spun at some point saying this is why we don't go round spashing the cash, we don't want to end up like Hull.....

Weimann when interviewed listed his dingle goal has the best in his career 😎 I do hope people don't even entertain booing him if he plays against us, can guarantee there will be some idiots with that mindset though "cOs He LeFt To JoIn ThE sNaKe" 🙄

We'll plug that gap with a PL loan. Not saying that's the right thing to do like but we've had some decent ones....one of the toughest positions to nail a place down IMO for a youngster in the prem but following loans to us there's been some obvious success stories. The championship is perfect for 'toughening them up'.

The Spain trip was announced way back in April, Waggott was still at the club then and I believe he was heavily involved in sorting it. It genuinely wouldn't surprise me if the fuckwits we have left have no idea how to see it through and it ends up being cancelled 😳

Fuck me, even Nixon adds a bit of meat to the bones, what even is this bollocks twitter account? Assuming they've never gor anything right? Anyone using the 👀 emoji in conjunction with alleged transfer news is a cunt, a massive cunt.
