As he ambles over there, running like he's carrying a piano on his back...

Both managers overdelivered and then were lied to. Both said "sod this for a game of soldiers".

Bit like whatever that lad from Orlando was called.

Dennis - hadn't played for nearly a year (and never got fit for us) Woodrow - awful Forshaw - CM who Plymouth couldn't get rid of quickly enough No new contracts for Travis / Brittain / Tronstad Significant investment.

So do we (or rather the club) think we're close to signing another CB? Or are we going into the season expecting one of the Academy players to step up and fill that 4th CB option? Currently we've gone from: Batth - Hyam - Carter - Sanderson to Hyam - Carter - S. Wharton That's a downgrade however you spin it.

It's signings like this we actually should be making - young, talented players from L1 and L2. Ones that have a few games under their belts and stand out at that level, but aren't quite yet of interest to Premier League teams. The £40m or so from Wharton, Szmodics, Raya et al has been completely spaffed on running costs now, so our owners don't have to put their hands in their pockets, but realistically half of that should have been spent on the best young players from Crewe, Charlton, Reading etc. If you want to run a model where you develop players and sell them on, you have to actually invest in the players first. The Academy will bring some through - but as we're seeing the most promising ones get pinched before they can sign professional contracts. I've no idea what to make of O'Riordan - I've barely seen him play. I hope this loan works for him. It seems he played well when he went back to Crewe, so there's still a player in there somewhere, but he quickly needs to push on as he's 21 now.

So we have no money for transfers and our most promising youngsters get picked off for pennies. Don't you just love football?

That's a really odd move. I assume they're trying to ship him out - a loan with an option to buy. At 21 he really should be breaking into the first team.

Broughton bought him and it seemed neither JDT or Eustace fancied him. Normally that'd be a damning indictment because they see him in training every day, but both managers also consistently started Calamity so they're not infallible. He's come on twice as a sub.

It's an undisclosed fee, right? I reckon they've just wilfully failed to correct the fee bandied around.

Who is the worst player you've ever seen? Cos Woodrow looked like he couldn't trap a bag of cement. Absolutely awful player who contributed nothing when we needed reinforcements in the worst way.

* for less than we've reportedly paid. I suspect we've paid utter peanuts for our Portuguese / Cape Verde / Leicester lad.

I try not to give the social media team grief, but c'mon. A stunning pass and a sublime finish from two players who are no longer here anymore - and the tens of millions of pounds we got for them haven't been reinvested into the playing squad.

Technically we washed our face or made a profit on Telalovic, Ennis and Wahlsted. I'm not ready to write off O'Riordan just yet. The Forshaw, Dennis / Woodrow signings are what I expect under Gestede.

I liked Eustace a lot when he was here (I'm obviously indifferent about him now), but you do have to wonder. He's bought Sanderson too. If he has Premier League ambitions he has to remove the crutch of relying on older / familiar players.

We're so dysfunctional that I think this club is powered by individuals. Broughton was very good. Park was clearly very good. I have no faith in Gestede to pull a rabbit out of the hat.

Joke's on you, I was broken years ago. A couple of seasons freezing your balls off in the Jack Walker Stand watching Hedges and Dolan as your wide men would break any man. The CIA should take notes.

Only by hopeful fans.

As always, I hope you lose your shirt.

Nope I was talking about Poku.

Bet he's on more than £10k a week...

Name was dragged through the mud twice by Eustace / Derby and then the Women's team too.

I'd like to upgrade on both.

Which again begs the question, why do they want to own this football club?

He won Stanley's Young Player of the Year Award last season. He simply needs game time.
