    I think maybe the club have accepted the season is a write off. What a fucking waste of the feel good factor we had at the start of this season. A big pissing on everyone’s chips, when we could have had a good old custardy cock dip (or various lady parts if they so wished). I was excited for this season, got my boy his 1st ever season ticket thinking what fun it would be, now trying to convince him it’s not always shit!!!!😬😂🥱☹️.

    That’s a shame, he’s an exciting young player who’s probably a level above League One. 

    Oh well, at least we still have Charlie Kirk.

    I'd prefer Browne because now it means we will be going for our 2nd option in January once again. Same thing happened last year with Kirk and we ended up with DJ, even if they did both ended up being pony.

    On a positive note, it’s an opportunity to moan about TS having no money. We might even get a young and hopefully injury prone loanee or, even better, no one at all.

    Not sure how reliable that page is, but if it's true it's not surprising.

    We've got a youth team who are beating a lot of bigger clubs' youth teams so naturally our kids will get noticed. And whilst we are stuck in league 1 and without a category 1 academy we'll always face this issue.

    Well we've also dropped out of the running for Defoe

    Has anyone checked the stock prices for Zynex?

    We need to keep away from recently injury hit players. It was laughable when in the Championship that we had upto 15 players out! That's more than unlucky.

    Whoever scores for the U23s today is our new striking sensation. 

    Go Wassim

    Unfortunately this is par for the course when the "bigger" clubs circle like vultures round our always impressive youth set up, and it really does piss me off, however if anything does develop...not Palarse PLEASE..that would really bring on the red mist...

    So some fringe (rightly or wrongly) players out on loan.

    Some youth players out on youth loans to get experience

    Money spent on a proven league one goal scorer.

    A 22 year old loanee with little playing team and perhaps isn't match fit who might become a permanent deal.

    An 18 year old loanee with little first team experience but an England international and recommended by SCP

    Chasing a striker/attacking midfielder proven in league 1 but coming back from a long injury lay-off that might also become a perm deal.

    So without seeing any of them play for us, Browne deal not done and no idea how Kirk does at Blackpool how have we done?

    Marks out of ten?


    Reckon that depends on how you look at the bigger picture.

    If you're mainly concerned with finishing this season on a relative high (mid table / nowhere near going down), it's a 7.5 / 8

    If you're looking further down the line with a view to building a squad of players long term, reckon it’s a 6, considering the lack of foundations there is in the first place.

    The loan signings are great but if they perform brilliantly (meaning we’ll finish mid table), what are the chances they'll be recalled by their clubs and shipped out to someone else in the Championship next season and our problems continue with having to rebuild again? I think there’s got to be that moment where there’s a drastic shift in personnel and until that happens, the same convos will be had.

    100% support none the less...

    How weak did we start the season in attack, with Claydon and Davison expected to magically be our wild cards, because they are young!

    If he goes to Palace it'll be a case of 'e Adigun and shot himself in the foot

    Yeh, that "pathway to the first team" mantra was really being touted at that point.
    I wonder how much pressure was being applied from above to make that happen.
    Maybe partly explains why Morgan was thrust into the position of midfield lynchpin.
    If they are good enough there's a pathway, it isn't a fecking promise.

    We're never going to keep hold of young talent when the likes of Chelsea come knocking.

    It's important we get compensated well though. And use any money to fund a solid league one outfit that may not be pretty but will be knocking on the door for the next couple of seasons.
  • "We will not be selling our good young players" or words to that effect. This is a vital test now with Burstow.

    I will be absolutely gutted if he goes.

    End of next season. 

    If he doesn’t look like signing a new deal then we’ll be forced to sell him before next season starts.

  • Realistically In todays market, with English player tax and the current situation we find ourselves in, how much do we reckon we could squeeze out from a team like Chelsea for MB?I think the sum will be underwhelming for most.

    The first true test of the clubs intensions moving forward imo !

    If he goes my season ticket is going in the bin. The only bright spot on another shocking season in this shit division.

    He’s not on a long contract so I have no idea what power we have in negotiations. 

    £1-3m would be my range, I can’t imagine it being much more than that.

    Did Thomas say that?

    He'll go at some point, probably sooner rather than later if we continue to struggle in the third division.
    Mind you, if he is gone by monday night they can whistle for my season ticket money next season.

    It’s a bit of a coincidence it pops up right at the end of the window, when he’s literally just broken into the first team and scored a couple of goals. 

    I could be wrong, but it very much screams content filler/click bait for all those who tweet about player moves
