Suhail will be panicking at the thought of having to refund 50p per purchase for the lack of audio

There should be, I'm sure the club posted earlier that Sidnei would be on comms

Does anyone have sound on their stream?

A little while ago, didn't someone post along the lines of 'the coaches don't rate De Neve, he has an awful first touch'? 2 starts in a row suggest it wasn't true

No surprise the sales have slowed down. Marquee signings would be needed now to create interest, or a blinder of a start to the season, before they go off sale.

Ohashi would also be an option in the ten role, but it pushes the shortage to the striker position, although at least Gueye is a senior player and

I get where you're coming from but we've not seen Tronstad linked to another club, does that mean he's poor?

During the poor start he had, he came across to me as not really being bothered but it's actually that he's very level headed, doesn't get too high or low. The way he has addressed the Brittain situation is spot on, a lot of players have indicated JE was a great man-manager, but it's come to light he covered up the Szmodics situation. Like others, I'm warming to VI - unlike JE he's willing to be honest with the fan base

We were linked to Bamford by some last year. Huge wages aside, his injury record was also pointed out as being poor since his glamour season in the prem

I dont want to create an arsenal discussion but Saka, Lewis-Skelly, Nwaneri and to a lesser extent Martinelli are all 'home grown'

And in Toth gets injured? I'd rather have Pears on the bench than turn to the u21 keepers. Or have Pears available for transfer by being fit and someone else brought in. Nixon reporting this morning that Wharton stays with Palace, so no sell on for Pasha to look forward to yet.

He probably will but can't read into the GK selection from yesterday given Pears was injured

Anyone regularly watch the U21s and able to say how close or not Atcheson is from being able to cover on the bench or for a few games?

We had a halved away kit 2 seasons ago didn't we?

Siding on not liking it. Even putting the colour aside, the images are too random and repeated too much, they should have found more things to identify the town. It's like the took the feedback to the map on the pink shirt and tried to come up with something similar to tie the shirt to the town, but the result is far worse IMO

Kaminski also ended up in L1 but I reckon most of us would have been delighted had we signed him back

Based on his time with us, yes. But then he went to Luton and played his part in them getting to the premier league, so....

Agents will always make enquiries, ultimately their job is to get the best deal for their client, which in most cases means the highest salary. Once they found out Team X and Y would offer £20k or whatever, we'll have not been in the running if we weren't able to get anywhere near the same figure.

As has been noted already - Hyam played all league games last season. You'd be happy for him to go, leaving Carter and Wharton as our only senior CBs? I'd rather keep Hyam and get a transfer fee at some point.

I'd be surprised if Cantwell is on 'only' 14k. One of the ladies team mentioned, when discussing the budget and pay the girls were getting, that a men's team player was supposedly on 20k a week

I'm theory yes, but we've quickly learnt transfer income isn't reinvested so we'll be up the creek

Fair contract is all context. He might be on 8k, we might have offered 12k - it's been rumoured Cantwell is on 20k. He might want that but we can't afford it - not with trying to get down the income to wages ratio. And even if they could match at 20k - Boro might be offering 25k. Essentially once other established Championship teams become interested, we cannot compete financially.

Jackson has tweeted that VI sounds resigned to Brittain going

Not sure that's the case, he confirmed we offered a new contract to try and convince him to stay

Salgado was a huge worry for his first couple of months. Thankfully he and the team adapted and he didn't put a blotch on his career. #HeCameFromRealMadrid #HeDidntCostAQuid
