Just had it on good authority we are in talks with goalkeeper from the Scottish leagues with vast experience in league 1. Seems to think it could be a guy called Owen van Williams, never heard of him myself
Did some of you actually think Pope, JGB and Cousins (possibly still others) would want to play in the third tier of English football if they had prem teams/championship challengers bidding for them?
Please get real ffs.
Look, everbody knows this. But that's not the point. Roland's a rich man. He has no need for cash flow purposes to flog people off quickly or on the cheap. So, in Pope's case, you simply say to the keeper (but more so to any intetested clubs) yes, you can go if we get a sensible bid - but not until an adequate replacement has been found - because Henderson is off too. It's not rocket science just common sense.
And, in terms of negotiation, of course Cousins wanted out. But how can a club that paid, what, Euro 1.9 for Sarr let probably our most effective midfield player go for peanuts? By way of comparison it is reported that Reece Oxford, a 17-year-old, who has played just a few games for Wet Spam, is subject of a £15mn bid. This is a player remember that we decided we didn't want on loan last season!
So, please get real ffs.
What you know Henderson is off do you.. because SLP report a interest in him?
Wow.. How can you compare us and West Ham? Haha.
They are in a much stronger bargaining positions then us. Do you really think Oxford would be subject of a 15m bid if he was in a league 1 team?
He's a very long way short of Premier League readiness/quality right now. I reckon he could be that good in time, but that time is not now, and a million pounds seems about as much as we were going to get for him in our current position. Which is not to say I wanted him sold at all mind you!
Interesting you should say that, was literally just going to post that the keeper in the video of Simon Clark the club posted today looked a bit dark (don't take that the wrong way) could well be a very tanned Mitov but did look like Foderingham.

It's Texeira - he lay on that sun lounger too long
Not that worried about Watt going. Undoubtedly talented but not sure he'd be up for the fight and, quite honestly, to me he's one of the Standard Liege cast offs. Good luck Tony. Welcome Jay...maybe.
I thought it was admitted that he was back in action slightly too early and needed more recovery time? That said, even if it was just as part of the ~bonding exercise~ you'd have expected him to stay out there, whether he'd play a part in the second friendly or not.
People saying Bauer and Tex would make a great partnership in league one. I am not so sure.
Are they both very good players? Yes. Both comfortable championship players.
I just doubt if either of them have that cynical, nasty side that is sometimes required in league one. British defenders do this so well and learn to not get pulled up for it. Sometimes in league one you have to play ugly and nasty to win. This is something Morrison, Taylor and Cort did very well for us whenever required. I'm not sure either could do this without picking up a lot of yellows.
I'd love one of them alongside an British CH and Tex's goals are an added bonus. But together I don't think suits this league. Would work in the championship though.

I should lose any sleep over it. Tex will be off and Bauer will remain injured.

Tex looked very capable of looking after himself without incurring the wrath of the the referee. Bauer looked more impetuous, as shown by the 2 red cards

I think they're dirtier than they seem, and both seem to enjoy defending too

No.
Deluded.
He's got so much potential - losing him now for £1 million really sucks.
He could be play in the Premier League next season.
I'm a protester and not renewing.
Wes Foderingham at Rangers does too

Assume he is next out the door.
