    Seems the good ship HMS Rumours has got stuck in some muddy waters over the weekend and the passengers have gone a bit loopy with the lack of movement. 

    Time to return the vessel to calmer seas please.

    Very simply, more football related talk and less posts about other posters. if there is a fake captain or two patrolling the decks then just let them crack on, it will soon be noticeable when the ship sails in the opposite direction.

    Thanks all
    I heard from a credible source that we have a clear pathway on a new signing, Moses parted the sea for us.
    Before people ask, I have absolutely no idea. My comment was meant as a joke in regards to all these Moses stuff.

    Boooooo.

    Got my hope's up this morning. 
  • Sounds like we’re trying to patch a team together for this weekends preseason game as Adkins says he’s got the reserves training with the 1st team (need to make up the numbers)

    Adkins and TS have always said they want a clear run into the first team for the under 23 players and that 4/5 would be training with the first team squad before we complete our buying

    Doesn't marry up with the idea that we'll blow this league out of the water though does it. They might be good players, but I will stick my neck on the line and say they aren't good enough to be first team starters the lot of them.

    That's... Not at all what was said? They want 4/5 TRAINING with the first team squad, nothing more nothing less. Of those, you'll probably get maybe one or two who get onto the odd bench over the whole season and the rest will be in cup squads etc.

    Honestly it's really not difficult.

    God knows how some of you would have coped back in the day when we had no internet or social media. We all had to wait for a Thursday to buy the local rag to find out who we'd signed. Seeing Alan Mullery had signed five players in a week was about as good as it got ... WIOTOS

    To be totally honest. He's no more repetitive than the comments made on here.

    Its one thing blooding in a couple of youngsters like we did with Konsa, Gomez, Shelvey etc but its another thinking that using 4 or 5 this season will get us out of this league.

    If that is plan A, or even plan B now that signings seem to be thin on the ground then I don't mind missing out on going away this year (due to Covid restrictions) as I'm sure we will be playing these teams all again next season.

    The 4/5 are just doing training with the first team squad though. That's a very different thing to them sudden elevating 5 U23s to the first team squad, which is NOT the plan. 

    It just means the best of the youth get a chance to train with and learn from experienced pros, if they do well enough then maybe they get onto the bench.

    Let's not catastrophise a perfectly sensible arrangement.

    Is it also the worst case scenario in the world, having a game where we can see if the U23s can hack it

    I mean whats the point of signing players if we already have the talent at our disposal

    Would that be from the Club's press release this morning about the U23 squad and 1st year pros where this was the main piece?

    Glad to hear we are securing our young and talented players. 

    Dempsey staying seemed to surprise a few at the end of last season.
