    Win tonight. Sign JRS. Smash Preston. Finish the season unbeaten with zero injuries in a season.

    A man can dream.
    In 24hrs behind on this thread and gonna have to skip 1,000+ posts, but this nugget of genius seemed to inflict a curse

    lost, didn’t sign JRS, picked up some likely season-long injuries. 

    Just got ‘getting smashed by Preston’ left to come to complete the full house of Canters Curse 
    Excellent, that's our scapegoat sorted. Where's my pitchfork?

    Don’t think this has been mentioned on here. Is this significant at all in anyone’s opinion?

    If Rak Sakyi has not moved to another club by tomorrow I'll consider that we are still in the game and will eventually sign him.

    Not significant at all, he’s just saying he didn’t make anything up

     Connor Coady for CB coverage ?
    He really can’t play in a 4.  
    Really not what we are looking for in that position. Good player, but I see him more as a CDM now or as CB with 2 CBs alongside him.

    400 posts overnight, assume everything sorted with JRS and Holsgrove...🤔

    I wish people would look at the CV of Holsgrove and hope we do not sign him.

    Out of interest how does Holsgrove progressive passing etc stats compare to say "Prime" Scott Fraser ( pre ipswich) or wherever he was

    Have you seen Lloyd Jones CV pre CAFC? Hardly set the world alight, same for Edwards, Ramsay etc

    His CV looks decent? Certainly a higher standard than a lot of players we have bought in who have also done well?

    How much influence does an agent have in a transfer. Surely if a player want to go somewhere and is seemingly happy with the deal that would be that? 
    Wouldn't surprise me that his agent was getting a bigger cut from Burnley than what we would pay. 

    Spot on, they only work for themselves, the player is secondary.
  • Anyone able to tell me what positions Nathan redmond can cover ?

    Both wings. 
  • Was the New Zealand international winger, Callum McCowatt, linked with us recently? Maybe an option for RW now?

    Can anyone actually confirm this or is it just more hearsay?
    Found Rak-Sakyi's agent

    On that note, does anyone remember when CBT's agent was all over Twitter having arguments with Charlton fans?
    CBTs agent loved an argument on Twitter about how we were a small club 
    Nothing reels of tinpot wannabe Eric Hall than an agent hanging around on social media rather than doing their job.
  • So many champ teams will now be after JRS missed our chance and will regret it

    Think Henners is probably on the right track , the FA have got a lot more strict on agents and the club can't be messing around with unlicenced agents or anything like that. Burton are under investigation for a lot of dodgy dealings with an agent when they signed 20+ players the other summer. 
    More fool us then for not establishing this at the get go and JRS for having an agent who ain’t licensed. Agents should be DBS checked or equivalent of. 
    fyi - Agents are all enhanced dbs checked (provided theyare licenced)

    The medical issues could be made up to renegotiate the price.
    Blimey, how many players have we signed in recent years that have a poor history with injuries and we have still signed?
    OR perhaps the insurance on him is an issue?

    I have an enhanced DBS and I am still a danger to myself and others.

    Most agents have one role, that is to make as much money for their client as possible. On occasions, that might not always be what is best for them but it is the biggest motivation of most players too.

    A failed medical makes me feel more comfortable about us pulling out 
    I'd feel even more comfortable if we were working to sign an alternative though! 
    Yes there are a couple we want. Both at Premier League clubs and both played in the Championship last season. One more likely than another at this stage. Cannot give any names at this stage 
    I never understand the “Can’t say names” part … what’s the point in saying anything at all then? 

    There was me thinking @stjohnshill is being very helpful and as revealing as he can be.
