Probably not as good as Small on the attacking front but quite like Grimmer at Wycombe as a right-back/wing back. Got a bit of attitude about him, is experienced and could see him playing at Championship level.
God no. Scumbag anti football merchant. Proper league 1 clogger. No real ability on the ball.

I thought I read some time ago that our owners don’t really have that much money, or their money is tied up in some way and not available to chuck around. Thats why a no transfer fee signing, and getting an earner off the books makes sense. I wonder if there is extra wages attached to the Nathan Jones extended contract, or if the extension was the attractive bit for Jones, not a wage increase.
Has anyone told billionaire Joshua Friedman he doesn’t have much money.

Think Southampton would want to build around Aribo. I doubt they'll keep Matheus Fernandes as he'll have PL interest so the likes of Aribo will be key for them.
Just had a look at Southamptons squad and even if they just lost Fernandes, Walker-Peters and Tyler Dibling they are absolutely loaded with quality and experience at this level.
Doughty I suspect will be a target for the relegated PL sides , potentially Ipswich if they lose Leif Davis?
Think some have forgotten about him tbh. passing was poor, couldn’t head the ball, his pace often got him out of trouble. Also now injury prone. This won’t happen!
That was 6 years ago! Players are capable of getting better, especially younger ones. Same with Famewo, they aren’t the same players that played for us in league 1, they are championship footballers which is what we need
Famewo may be useful but no thanks Anfernee
Famewo over Dijksteel?!
Other way around
Famewo is an actual rumour isn’t it? The Dijksteel talk just came from someone saying they’d like him back. Is there anything more substantial on Dijksteel than that?
That probably makes them both rumours then as nothing has been substantiated on either front.
Definitely feel like Carey was announced to soften the Thierry Small blow, wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more in the pipeline
Most definitely, as 'he will join when his contract expires' at Blackpool.
Rubbish ….
You are obviously the ITK person in existence Colin, first with the news Sonny has changed his mind and isn't joining now.
Fact is do you honestly think we got control over PNE media team and told them when to announce Small ….
Clubs tend to announce deals at exactly the same time, so yes it was likely agreed between us and Preston.
Or it could that it was the first day Small was back from his holiday …. cause it seems from people in the club that he told the club he was going day after the final ..
Sean Roughan more realistic, I think he would be an excellent signing
Just a quick update on Roughan. He has rejected Lincoln's contract offer, and Lincoln had agreed a compensation package (due to his age) with an unnamed club; Roughan has declined to join that club and awaits further offers.

Looking for a champ gig isn’t he. Looks like that team was probably Bolton, I would guess that a team like us or around what we are aiming to achieve would be all over him.

Apparently so. He does have a high opinion of his own ability - we had something similar the last time he was out of contract in 2023, and he had to re-sign eventually when there were no takers. He had trials with Southampton and Chelsea in 2021, so I suspect that increased his sense of self-worth. We have had him for six years, and it appears the compensation payable will put off a few clubs.
Played every minute of every league game last season, an unusual achievement in these days of rotation and over-sensitivity with injuries.
The club he has rejected is probably the likes of Bolton or Huddersfield, as you suggest. Charlton or similar would be the right destination for him, but you do wonder what these lads are being told by their agents.

Can only hope then, by all accounts he was brilliant last year. Be a shame for your lot to lose him and O’Connor
I can’t help noticing that we seem to be talking way too much about signing ex-players…..curious if you ask me.🤔
It’s because the club leak a lot less than you used to. Unless you have loads of time on your hands you won’t have watched enough EFL football to identify targets so people naturally, and understandably, go back to ex players they remember. The link to Famewo has fanned the flames too. I think that’s probably agent chatter though
Grimmer would be a decent addition - not pretty but pretty effective
That was my thinking. I checked back at Wycombe’s team formations over the course of the season per the BBC and when they played 3 centre backs he has been part of a midfield 4 in front of that, but has also played RCB in a 3 and RB when 4 at the back, ie versatile.
May have different attributes to Small but think he could play at Championship level if Jones varies his formation.

But I think he is best in a back four. How often will we play that way?

Capable of stepping up to the champ in your view?
