    Does the fact that it has potential to be £5m mean he's our record signing?
    Not if you count Darren Bent with Ipswich’s sell on included, taking him to over £5m.

    If not, Euell is still the record, believe he was £4.75m including add ons, so unsure what the final fee was.

    They’ve been the best football podcast going for a long time. Much better than any other efl one. The second tier pod I think is a bit crap, neither of them really know what they’re talking about 
    I try the second tier pod every now and neither of them have a clue and constantly appear to take little snipes at each other? At least NTT20 are pretty knowledgeable and have a decent rapport 
    Yeah exactly. NTT20 are genuinely friends whilst the second tier just seem like to individuals who don’t really get on

    Love it that Knibbs appears to have chosen us over Wrexham as well.

    According to Football League World, he's now set to sign for us.

    Fully agree. The Derby fan gets slated by the Birmingham fan but most of the time I agree with his views! 

    Their recent managerial charts made me laugh, don’t know why everyone raves on about Chris Davies. If Brum don’t get off to a good start I genuinely think he will get the chop.

    I listened to it for the first time the other day and thought exactly the same. It doesn't come across well for either of them.

    A strange annoyance maybe but the one bloke uses the other ones name, Justin in every other sentence and it sounds really weird / passive aggressive

    In his post match interview with Cawley NJ says he's been looking at/targeting Kelman for about 6-8 months. Goes to show how much work goes into these things

    I was going to say, how did Kelman play last night, for those that went to the match?

    Made a few good runs in behind and put pressure on defenders. Got in behind once and shot into the side netting from a tight angle. Can’t really tell much from 20mins but looked lively enough

    Kelman only had one thing on his mind from the second he took to the pitch. Exactly what you want from a striker.

    Yeah that second tier pod is god awful. NTT20 is the goat of football podcasts, 2 incredibly knowledgeable guys that don't just snipe/shout over each other.

    I feel quite bad slagging off NTT20 recently. I judged that from one video and a friends review about them.

    I wanted to listen to a podcast on my 3 hour walk the other night and put in 'football podcast' and theirs popped up on Spotify, I listened to their league 1 and 2, 1-24 predictions and they were both quite excellent and done a fair bit of research. 

    Put my hands up there, clearly work hard at what they do and they have a real genuine excitement covering teams and players most people probably don't care about. Sorry NTT20. 
    I'm a recent convert too. Started listening in the second half of last season when I wanted to consume every possible bit of CAFC content out there and was really impressed - they talk about L1 with a level of depth that you very rarely get from non-fans / local Cawleys at that level

    League What? Yesterday's news...

    Came on ran straight up to Lloyd Jones shouted you vile CB for a vile club, how dare you keep me out at the play off final. Then pulled out his Wellens signed Orient flag and ran away.

    They edited this out from the highlights.

    Do you have to pass a medical to support Wrexham?

    Caught up with Richie Wellens to find out how he got the best out of Charlton's new signing Charlie Kelman.
    Story is up on 'The Stack' now!

    Kelman and Knibbs are already friends. 

    We are gonna see combined 50 goals and assists from them

    He performed about how I expected him to today. Hopefully one will go in sooner rather than later and he can prove my doubts wrong.

    Had one half a chance today and almost put it away. Kelman will come good.

    I could never see TC and Kelman working as the forwards unless a high block was used by Watford.  It was difficult for Charlie to make an impression despite he got the wrong side of his defender early doors.
    Tanto, Knibbs, Miles etc will do great and Charlie will bring his clinical finishing to the team.

    Too early to be sure either way, he certainly knows after today that goals will need to be earned in the Championship but there's promising signs I feel.

    Find the right combination up front and I reckon he'll be fine.

    My fears about him remain.  Light weight and no real pace. Abankwah was terrible and he got no change out of him unlike Miles.

    Needs to take the first decent chance or face being benched.
