This saved the day. Kids and Mrs could watch the hotel entertainment and I can watch the game and drink all inclusive piss 👍 🙏

Oh, a mouse for sure 😂

I'm sure I could but not convinced the Mrs will want to go and find one.

Currently on holiday in Spain. Doesn't look like the skysports app or sky go app will work for me whilst I'm here. Which is annoying.

If we are planning to keep him and put him in the starting 11, probably the best place for him really. He isn't a striker, or a winger. Be some downgrade on Szmodics though.

He's guaranteed at least 2 if he signs for them.

He needs regular games. He won't get that here. I rate him and I think this loan should work well for all parties (assuming he gets into the team) We have an option to recall in January should we need it.

Luton town have announced that they are only changing their home kits once every 2 seasons. They are wearing last years kit for this season. Stops people needlessly forking out £60 for a new shirt every year but then some love a new shirt every season.

Nar means nothing these days. Clubs and players can agree terms before the deal between the 2 clubs is agreed. Rovers will have said its OK for Sammie to talk to Ipswich and the fee can be agreed later. I'd imagine we have got the fee sorted as such already but it'll be the finer points that need finalising.

Buckley and Markanday have consistently shown that they aren't up to it at this level. I think we'll end up keeping Buckley just for numbers sake, but if we land a few more attacking targets, we'll try and shift Markanday for sure. He'll end up in league one.

Very interesting. Let's hope we pull this off, Pears isn't good enough and we really don't want to be signing Ruddy.

2 really interesting options for a goalkeeper but for some reason the manager is pining for Ruddy? Ruddy would be a terrible, short term sticking plaster. If we actually pished the boat out and signed someone decent, it would make a huge, huge difference to the team.

The situation we were in was probably the main reason but JE has always tended to play more experienced players when possible and he's been playing an experienced team in the friendlies so far (and then a second 11 in the second game/half). I think he'll give them more time in training before putting them on the pitch in the championship, Weimann is ready made for the championship and I just think JE will go with that to start with. Also, Gueye doesn't even speak English and Ohashi's English is poor. Think it will be a few weeks before we start seeing their involvement. Could be wrong, just my take on it (which means nothing really 😂)

I reckon of the new signings, only Weimann will get a start. ---------------------Pears Brittain----Carter---Hyam---Pickering -----------Tronstad----Travis JRC-----------Weimann-------Hedges ---------------------Dolan Could swap Weimann and Dolan around but essentially I think it'll be that starting 11.

Yeah he's no where near good enough. With Gueye, Leonard, Tyjon and possibly Weimann and Ohashi able to play in the striker role, I can't see Vale being kept around. Someone has to take him off our hands though.

Shame really. I had hopes that he would come back and have a good season for us in the back of a seemingly positive loan spell. He's also supposedly a good crosser of the ball, which makes it even more odd now we've got a striker who is built to get on the end of crosses.

Think Weimann is a smart signing tbh. Plenty of championship nous, can play in multiple positions, scores goals and has been captain of Bristol City in the past (so brings leadership)

Does seem like he's highly rated and has played for Liverpool first team on a number of occasions. His only aim for the season is to get minutes "wherever that may be", so must be open to a loan.

How old were Greer and Brown when they lined up under Coyle? (*shudder)

I noticed that Fadz name dropped him in his interview as someone he's been running with over pre season so far.

Nice. Is that Garretts replacement?

If its John Fleck, I'll be very disappointed Happy for Garrett to go on loan, I think he needs it but, and I think I'm alone here, I actually think he's a decent player and could develop into a good championship player for us.

Baffling why they wouldn't sign off on Danny Batth a year ago for JDT, citing age but will sign off on the same player a year later and a guy who's nearly 40. Not sure why I'm looking for logic in Venky's world tbf
