Definitely sounds legit, some Swedish reporters with huge followings have mentioned it

If he can't seemingly motivate himself to play for us, I fail to see how he will do so for Wigan, or any league 1 club tbh! I've posted it many times before but he's one of the strangest players I can remember for us.

Did you watch the game? De Neve was dreadful, its as simple as that. As fans we can only judge him on the brief glimpses we've seen. Was he really the best thing since sliced bread after a tap in? 😳 If people are exaggerating his poor performance today, you're most certainly doing the same for the Everton game.

Pears would get a few offers I would have thought, I’m struggling to see what Buckley has done to get any sort of interest though…..

Bit weird when we spent a good few days in Spain as well. NEC were due to play yesterday against Werder Bremen but it got cancelled, not sure if we were a late replacement but we still had adequate time to sort a better schedule for the trip. One slight positive from today was VI showing some passion on the sidelines, friendly or not, good to see that in a manager.

We looked knackered from the start, when did we actually travel over there? Very few bright sparks in that apart from AK running the show for a while when he came on. I’m afraid Gueye looked very much like the raffle prize winner today and Yuki poor too. DeNeve was dreadful, one of his free kicks was as if he took it with a blindfold on. Let’s hope they were trying not to over exert themselves and risk injury…..

I find it extremely hard to believe there's anything in that Gueye story, I doubt clubs over there even know he exists! He's frustrating sometimes, to the extent you'd think he's won a raffle prize to play, then he can do something 5 minutes later and you think actually he looks OK. He's a useful squad player and would be a huge shame IMO if he left, not just because of his footballing ability but it's impossible to not like someone so smiley and quite frankly off their tits. Probably helps He's paid handsomely like. You'd imagine he can get slightly better/more consistent this season too.

I was watching something earlier rating clubs away kits and it said 7 teams hadn't even released one yet with a week to go till the new season 😕 not sure if it was 100% accurate, Sheff Weds were one though, maybe they'll just play in 'skins'?

Mercers 'transfer info' is the modern day team talk off teletext for those old enough to remember 🤣 Interestingly, or annoyingly depending on your interests, transfer news from inside the club has dried up since loose lips Waggott went, or stepped down to whatever job he's doing at present.

Not sure if already mentioned but Brum have, unsurprisingly, sold their initial allocation so will have over 7k at Ewood now they've been given more. Combined with sparsely populated home ends the noise will be quite horrific with THAT accent bellowing out 🥲

F is a blatant rip off of a fan flag, not sure if they're on here 😳 A or B, the only problem with B is its not the club Jack loved anymore so it feels a bit wrong 😪

I like the look of Miller, potentially our modern day Lucas Neill. Not just because of his nationality but physical attributes and playing style. Pretty much the same size and in the athletic mould. I don't particularly want Brittain to leave but he has a price and you do have to remember last season really was his standout one. Ideal scenario would be him signing the contract he deserves but I think we know that's not happening.

Quite possibly, however you'd suspect the player wants to keep us sweet as it would be a huge move for him. I suspect it will just get filed away and forgotten about though.....

It might not, either it does or its some bullshit line that's been thrown Alan Nixons way because we don't want to shell out the required fee. Think about it, it's the constant blame shifting tactic used by this regime, if you're not familiar with it then not sure where you've been since the twats turned up.

Players play all the time whilst carrying injuries so that's a nonsense statement, christ just look at one of the England women's team who played a tournament with a fractured tibia just recently. I'm not disputing for one minute that Venkys are a set of cunts with how they go about their business like, need to make that perfectly clear!

If a footballer fails a medical its between us and them, they're technically medical records subject to confidentiality. Whilst they're a tiny club compared to us and won't have amazing facilities, you'd like to think they're aware of an underlying issue though.

Protest about what? Again no idea what your point is? There's thousands upon thousands of players in the world that would be cheap with potential resale value, a 24 year old from the Swiss challenge league isn't some kind of rare beast....

When VI came here his stock wasn't particularly high and doubt he had offers piling up. JDT had just won a few titles and his managerial career was on the up. To a lesser extent Eustace will have had interested parties too, his time at Brum ended prematurely in most people's eyes. There was probably much less of a reason to sell VI the dream, aka blatantly bullshit to him, his expectations may be much lower as a result.....

To see if this mystery injury holds up, that's if it actually exists.... I wouldn't even be bothering unless he's an exceptional talent personally but what do I know.

Doesn't really help the here and now but could always park Baradji till the winter transfer window if we want him still. The Swiss league will be on winter break for a month from December, see how many games he's managed with this mystery injury. I'm not convinced it's just a dicky foot though....

I know, not sure what your point is?

I find the whole Baradji situation very odd. Even on a pay as you play it seems like a high risk move, for a team who can ill afford to be making high risk moves. The player himself must be desperate to come, the Swiss super league is a very poor standard, the challenge league is probably league 2 standard at best, maybe worse. He cannot be getting paid very well at all there although he must be one of the higher paid players. So who is it at the club that thinks this lad is worth taking risks for? Hard to believe VI is an admirer, is it Rudy who's wanting to get it over the line?

Preston are more toothless than us in attack for sure, 2 goals scored in 4 pre season games and 1 of them was against Chorley....I think they'll struggle this season.

The game is viewable on Bet365 if anyones at a loose end and wants to see if he's any good BTW
