Yep I agree with this. Said a few times that if the 4 lads out of contract stay this season and simply run down there deals, then we should be fairy competitive again, I think we would be nearer 17th than 7th, but don't think we would ever be in any real trouble. Take a couple of those out though and replace with more cheap foreign imports and we could be in trouble very quickly.

I think Mannsverk can be filed away with other names such as Sagnan, Kapaudi, Gassama etc. The days of signing players with that kind of pedigree are over, we just won't pay what it would take to get him.

This time last year we hadn't even got anyone through the door! Maybe Val is going to go 3-6-1 next season. Midfield FC.

The club probably don't even know so I doubt anyone on the FF will.

Who do we think will be Category A next season? Obviously North End, could see Birmingham in the opening home game too with the momentum behind there fanbase. Wrexham maybe with it being on NYD? The anniversary game?

Nobody is buying Cantwell at present. Probably happy to ride it out with him hoping he has a good season and selling him next summer when he's in the last year of his contract.

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...
