    Izzy Brown available on a free. Attacking midfielder and scored against us in the Championship when playing for Luton. Big lad and should be good at our level.
    Injury prone
  • Yeah I wouldn't take a risk on Izzy Brown , got talent but I don't think he even featured this season for Preston because of injuries 

    Most games he's managed in a season was 25 for Luton

    Wanting the bulk of the money he spent on us back?
    I don’t know the figures mate but I should have thought £50,000,000 is way above what he laid out.
    No way he lost 50 mil or anything close to that IMHO.

    76 million according to the 2018/19 accounts.
  • A rumour has appeared this morning.

    Alex Gorrin from Oxford. Surprise surprise he has injury problems. Personally I would rather renew JFC.

    Watson started 5 games that Dobson didn't.  But he also picked Morgan, Clare, Arter and Gilbey at times a head of Dobson.

    Anyway, that's almost irrelevant the point is it's not healthy having players who know the manager doesn't want them.  Who ever the player and manager are.

    That can't happen this summer if we are going to rebuild in the manner we need to.  I think we can all agree on that.
    Absolutely, not very professional for a player to be made aware of that. I don't know if that came from Adkins or other sources but must be miserable for a player to change his job just to find out his career is likely to stall because the manager didn't get his way.

    If that’s true I am really shocked! 😯
  • Not rumours but just looking through who’s available on a free in league 1 and there’s no excuses to not build something solid for next season. So many good players out of contract and who would improve us

    Can they deal with the low block and be more fluid?

    Agreed, there's a huge chance for a club to offer slightly bigger wages early and get a very good team in if they do it right.
  • We don't have a manager.  
    Any decent player in demand will go elsewhere.
    Currently.
  • If we offer so many of our young players contracts it says a lot about the direction of travel.

    Agree. The right direction IMO.

  • Can they deal with the low block and be more fluid? 
    Best way is to take laxatives and diuretics.
  • Sheffield Wednesday recruited a load of free transfers last season and they are in the playoffs.  This is definitely something we are looking to replicate

    That we are not following the Brentford model?
  • Redrobo said:

    Why? We need to get out of this league ASAP, using a bunch of our youngsters won't do that, they're not all world beaters, and the physicality of the men's game is vastly different to knocking the ball about around a load of spotty yoof from up north. 

    We need to sign the best players in this league, early in the window, and get it right
  • James Norwood released by Ipswich ….

  • Utter garbage from TS to suggest that any decent player would sign without knowing who the manager is.

    I've mentioned him before but Viktor Johansson would be a great signing if he left Rotherham.

    Been second choice most of the season so may prefer first choice in L1 over second choice in the Championship.

    These comments from Warne strike me as a "I'd like to sell and get money from Johansson, Lindsay and Miller, make us an offer...." rather than wanting to sign them up long term

    Don't know as much about the rest mentioned beyond him & Michael Smith, anyone else know more?

    James Norwood released by Ipswich ….
    Going to a northern league 1 club as their main striker for next season.
  • How do you know, I get the impression you don't live in the North...
    I’m good mates with Norwood’s school mates.

    Provided a number of them graduate to the first team, and it doesn’t become such a production line of players for other clubs.
    I think one point of tension as it were is our developing players verses loans.
    I would not take a loan where another club wants an indifferent player to gain experience. For me loanees have to be of the likes of Cullen, Belik or Gallagher, not Levitt or John blocking progress of our guys.

    Not a bad plan if the players are good. We got Yann, Hollands, Hayes, Evina, Matt Taylor and perhaps most importantly Mikel Alonso on frees in 2011/12, and Morrison and Hamer for nominal fees because they were unwanted. In 2018/19 Lyle Taylor, Pratley and Jonny Williams were all free. You can build a great squad with free transfers as long as they fit the system. The real question right now is what the hell the system's going to be

    Not convinced John blocked a shot in training, never mind blocked another players progression.
