    Right, I’ve watched the bizarrely mournful Lloyd Jones video the media team put up. As far as I can tell from it either he’s signed a new contract or he’s moved on and he’s a ghost now? Do ghosts count towards the squad cap still?

    RC confirming Ibby to MK 
    Can you provide the link/screenshot? Last thing I saw from Cawley was MK were interested but nothing finalised.

    Great, another platform for me to keep track of Cawley. Not sure that’s more confirmation than there being interest + what NJ said yday

    As Docherty will presumably be on the bench most games  (if he stays ).
    Then I expect Jones to be made captain.

    Presumably he's signed because he sees the team building to something? Could mean TC staying and another good addition maybe?

    Let’s start random rumours to throw Nixon off.

    I’ve heard Lloyd Jones won’t be joining West Ham this window. A deal was close between the two clubs but Jones doesn’t want to join due to a phobia of bubbles. 
    Ironically I’ve now got as much right as Nixon ever has.

    You would like to think this is the reason why he has been convinced to sign an extension. Fingers crossed.

    Not a high bar to clear, let's face it.

    Surely Jones only signed so we get a better fee when West Ham flex their muscles and put their bid in?

    once he found out, we sponsored him for the third year running on his home Shirt  he decided he couldn’t go anywhere.  You can thank me later 👍

    Ripped up his existing one year deal and replaced it with an improved two year deal. 
    Makes perfect sense

    Assume that this season on new terms + an additional year.

    Brilliant news. For so long, whenever we developed a decent core of players to actually build a team around (Aribo, Bauer, Taylor (🤢), etc) we somehow managed to f*ck it up and either let them walk for free or sell them for peanuts.

    I’d look at clubs like Millwall (another 🤢), who it seemed were consistently able to keep the core of their squad together, or Palace (a third 🤢) managing to hold onto Zaha year after year, and wonder why we seemed almost allergic to doing the same with our most important players which meant never ending summer rebuilds. 

    Hopefully this is a sign that those days are behind us.

    Yes but he still had a year left to run on existing contract. He has basically signed a year extension  but on better terms I should imagine

    Does this mean we have to go through this whole process again next summer?!

    Great news to be fair. Wonderful way to bring in the season.

    It's a fake account, he's not Rich Scawley, or Richs Cawley

    Argument rater
    TheHerminator: 5 - Initial performance was decent, arrived early into the box with a stormer of a classic, but then let himself down with the initial follow up
    DDOUBLEE: 4 - Username is awkward to write, and given he's an argumentative sod at the best of times, thought he could have been a bit more original, even more colourful with his effort... Maybe his legs have gone?
    Who asked you - Mr Idiot!!!

    Great news - i don't want to lose the other 2 either but he is the one we couldn't recover from losing (even if people think he can't play well in a 2 - which he can). Hoping TC will be announced later today, just have a feeling Ramsay might rumble on a bit longer

    Don’t think so, he’s RichSCrawley on X and I’m sure he mentioned Instagram on one of the pods.
