I have concerns like everyone else but I think there's a few more than 10 if I'm being honest. -

No, I've never rated him. Much prefer Yuki. I can just about live with him being 3rd choice which he now undoubtedly is after the new signing but I'd be fine if we did get rid. Give him a banjo and a cow and no need to worry about the cow's arse... -

Some thoughts: Gueye was terrible. He needs to go. Tavares was poor. Kargbo ditto. We were crap in the 1st half, better in the 2nd. Plenty of work to be done... -

Personally, I'd sell Gueye and get one more striker in. He's frustrating and ultimately is less than the sum of his parts. -

I'd say if we get this guy for £2m euros and sell Leonard for £1m that's a pretty good bit of business as far as I'm concerned. -

Well, I don't know about bitter but footballers and greed go together like cheese and pickle. I don't know if we'll ever get the full Trav story BUT if he did refuse to train and play then that was bang out of order. He was under contract and being paid sums most of us can only dream of. He might have been pissed a new contract offer either wasn't forthcoming or wasn't very good but it works both ways. Like loads of other footballers he can then choose to run his contact down and leave on a free. All the power is with the players these days as far as I'm concerned. -

I can only speak for myself. As others have said maybe the time is ripe for a new approach. I'm not naive and can see this is intrinsically linked to reducing the wage bill but irrespective of that I'm liking some of the the signings and the energy they give off. The performance against Hull was really promising. More performances like that and we'll win more than we lose. Some have countered by saying Hull were poor, maybe so, but you can only beat what's in front of you. It's ultimately all about results and RG and VI will live or die by theirs. It's nothing to do with a 'swing' towards them, not from my perspective anyway. This season could be chicken shit or chicken salad, let's see how we go. Finally, would I still like new owners? Absolutely! -

I'm not sure about that. He's being sold for a bargain price and clubs aren't exactly breaking down the door to get to him... -

For me, Travis is decent but no more than that. I take off the the blue and white glasses and can't help but think about what went on with him at Ipswich. Theoretically, he was the last piece of the jigsaw in terms of helping them to get over the finishing line. In reality he was a bit- part player at best. I think this season will be interesting and afterwards it'll be either; why were we stupid enough to let him go, or we should have got rid sooner. Hopefully the latter as that would suggest a successful season... -

In some respects I'm sorry to see Trav go but I also think were he playing for someone else he'd be seen as a bang average championship player. It'll be interesting to see how he does at Derby. Although they've spent some money they also look bang average to me and I'll be amazed if they get anywhere near the play-offs. -

Blimey, they've had a couple of games and you've already made your mind up on them. Buckley's had forever to prove he's got 'it' and has still come up short.... -

I'm more hopeful than you about Axel... 1st game was clearly off the pace but I liked his cameo on Saturday - keen to get forward and could easily have had an assist if Hedges had shown a bit more composure. -

Come on, I know it fits the 15- year narrative, but players told they have no future and to find a new club is a story as old as time and not unique to us. It could actually be argued both have been given every opportunity to make it here. Unfortunately, for different reasons, it hasn't worked out. -

The problem I have with him is that I'm not sure what his actual 'strengths' are. I know what his theoretical strengths are but I'm not convinced they exist in real terms. I'm sure we can replace with better. -

1.5 million seems a bit tight to me.. One thing are charlatan owners do reasonably well is stick to their guns on values. For that reason and the fact we won't replace like with like anyway I'd be saying I want £2 - 2.5 mil and if Derby won't pay they can do one. We tell Travis he's staying for the year and can then walk on a free, we kick the can down the road and look to replace him next summer with a half decent free transfer ourselves. -

I'm old school in this respect. You're being paid by us so put the fucking shirt on and play. Needs to have his wages docked and I don't care if his feelings got hurt over the quality of the contract offered/ not offered.to him. -

I notice lots of people talking about utilising Gueye's aerial ability. It might be just me, but I don't think he wins anywhere near enough headers given how tall he is. -

Very underwhelming performance yesterday. Toth...two very dodgy moments but a couple of good saves too. Few thoughts on the new arrivals: Alebiosu...energetic and did okay but his second touch always looks like it might be a tackle. Miller... similar. Looks a bit of a beast but also looks clumsy. De Neve...innocuous. Henriksson...hoped for more. Needs to get up to speed but he's only been with us for a couple of days. McLoughlin...steady debut. Tavares...not enough time to form an opinion. We definitely need more than one in... -

I take your point and that we pride ourselves on our academy and players coming through. However, I don't see the fans of the big clubs giving a toss if their is full of foreigners if they're winning trophies. -

The trouble is Glen it's all just whispers until something is done about it. Like any workplace, if there's endemic bullying taking place then it should be escalated through the appropriate channels. Football clubs aren't special cases. They're employers like every other company. -

Sorry, can't agree with this. Theoretically, he does but, in reality, he's fundamentally lacking. He doesn't have a 'footballing brain' and his finishing is often woeful. If he was given a banjo, the cow's arse would be safe...
