I presume you think we should close the academy? We are short in areas no disputing that.But you were saying earlier in the week that Smallwood and Samuel hadn't been replaced etc.Smallwood didn't play a game for us last year and Samuel played a few but over his time here you would have to agree he didn't meet the standard required.Im a big fan of Graham but on his contribution last year you can't say he will be a miss this season. No point having an academy if you believe that we don't have a few in our under 23 group that ain't capable of bettering the contribution of the 3 players mentioned above. The goalkeeper came about out of nowhere so we really have no idea what is going on behind the scenes to be fair.

Sharpe mentioned him and Mulgrew leaving couple of days ago. Last season one of the MLS teams where looking at him according to the press

Waiting on totally wickeds cheque clearing

Any chance you could screenshot that article as I cant read it.Thanks if you can

Harry Kane was on holiday not with his club who would be monitoring his tests etc. Our new goalkeeper may not have to isolate,the club have applied for an exemption according to sky sports news. He has been playing games and tested every week so if fairs fair then he shouldn't have to isolate, like Liverpool

What about this elite athlete exemption that the club applied for?Has that been turned down?

It's 2 years with the option of a third in the club's favour

Rovers still trying to sort out him not having to go into quarantine

Sure we won't have a club in a couple of years.IYO the Owners are pulling the plug

Being signed for the under 23s

You didn't rate Dack when he signed either so you could be wrong

In fairness briansol makes a good point, the senior players rave about him and they see him every day. He is definitely talented and the one match he played the ten role against Charlton he was very good.

Brennan had premier league interest before he signed a new deal

How many times have you seen them play? Regulars who go to watch the under 23s say different. Do you go to the under 23s?Noticed you didn't reply to that part of my post. Iv not seen enough of Vale but Butterworth is not shite

Dean Ashton tipping us to make the playoffs

Give over Butterworth has looked quality when I have seen him, haven't seen much of Vale but he is highly regarded. I take it you watch a lot of the under 23s to have such an opinion? If the budget allowed then yeah ideally we would bring in an experienced front man but Butterworth definitely has something about him

Maybe the have high hopes of Vale or Butterworth breaking through

He has been linked in the press with a move to the premier league

Anything else happening?

One random guy said on Rich Sharpe's Twitter feed he had heard we are signing Kipre for 1.5 Millon.Sharpe didn't respond.It most likely some fella looking for a bit of attention making up a rumour

Some guy said on rich Sharpe's feed that he had heard he was signing for us .Sharpe didn't respond, probably nothing in it

Think you can watch the whole match again on the YouTube channel

Fisher looks really poor

We have agreed a 500k fee for a goalkeeper.Medical due on Monday according to reports
