Like a modern day Paul Warhurst.

To be fair, we did the same to Accy and Rochdale for Silver and Tyjon, as what prem clubs are doing to us.

Basically saying that no deal is agreed for Marwan.

Anyone believing that venkys "like" Ismael is on another planet. They haven't a clue who he is.

Are the under 21's bothering with any friendlies this summer?

Far to many clubs will be in for him who we will refuse to compete with.

Not really, because every other issue in that discussion will directly impact that transfer rumour. Gassama in general is a laughable one.

If there is one that goes into the starting 11, then it will be a downgrade on what we had previously. That's how it works here.

I predict we won't sign a player capable of going into the starting 11 all summer. All we are interested in is cheap squad players to sit on the bench and fill in when needed.

Think we can all agree they won't be spending £3m on a league one centre half.

All this is, is the club feeding Nixon some positive spin after two of our players walked out to join a side that finished 12 places below us, and another might be going to a championship rival.

I know the usual's will be about to say "you say that about every signing" But Pye and Gassama? Come off it, they aren't going to pay what them two would cost. Also Gassama would attract half of the league who will actually pay what they want.

Going in for another player we have no chance of affording, sounds about right. Also a huge laugh at "willing to find more funds for players". Yeah right!

Chaddy, I've read through the last few pages and I can't see the answer to this perfectly reasonable question? So please point me to it if you have. Why would it be disrespectful to post some TV fixtures on the EFL website?

Was going to say same thing, think it's a myth that has followed Cantwell around a bit because he's seen as a luxury playmaker kind of player. He also gets caught on the ball quite a bit, but so think his team mates being statues has contributed to that.

We didn't trigger it, he has been released.

Kapuadi starting today for Legia. Don't think that one is close by any means.

It doesn't, you only add that on if you want it.

When we win promotion, this is what we sing...

4pm.

4pm

We can, but we choose not too.

I think you would be surprised, and it's why you very rarely see a player make an official transfer request these days. I think all 4 would fancy themselves in the free transfer market next summer.

EFL website says by today... “Sky Sports Selections Notification The notice periods for selections for the 2025/26 season are as follows: On the 2025/26 Fixture Release Day, selections shall be confirmed in respect of the opening weekends of the Championship and League One and League Two seasons. By 3 July 2025, selections shall be announced in respect of all live broadcast matches to be played before the end of September. By 31 July 2025, selections shall be announced in respect of all matches scheduled to be played prior to the end of the third round of the FA Cup (January 2026). By 7 November 2025, selections shall be announced in respect of all matches to be played between the end of the third round proper of the FA Cup and the last weekend of February.” Wouldn't be surprised if it was delayed though because that's what TV companies do.

Brittain, Travis, Tronstad, Hyam and even Hedges (not a debate if he's good enough, just that we won't sign anyone better), if none of those are sold off this summer, that's likely 5 of our first choice 11 that are out of contract next summer, with the rest (Toth, Carter, Riberio, Kargbo, Cantwell & Ohashi) out of contract the summer after. Squad planning at it's finest.
