Re: Summer Transfers

know this got mentioned elsewhere, but had a look at Martyn Waghorn's stats. Considering he isn't young, 8 million basically for one 16 goal championship season. The only other goals he has really scored were in the Scottish second tier. Waghorn is a total middle of the road Championship striker no...

Re: RUMOUR - Sam Walker

no can see that one. Stam clearly didn't rate - I think he was training with us pre-season before the 16/17 season, and I thought he might get another chance. personally thought he was worth another go, certainly rather than Jaakkola Definitely. What I don't understand is why WBA have signed him wh...

Re: Lateness of kit release?

The reason being is because we get the kit at a reduced rate by receiving it later into the summer. This is so the Puma factories can concentrate on getting the bigger teams kits ready. Puma has always done this, the earlier you want the kit the more you pay per unit. Hope this clears things up Utt...

Re: Season 2018/2019

It's ok lads, Wigan and Rotherham are back for this season. Means there is effectively only 1 relegation spot on offer. I think Wigan will be a lot better side than the last time they came up. Paul Cook is a decent manager who plays expansive attacking football. Don't be shocked if they're one of t...

Re: CONFIMRED - Adrian Popa

He did look massively unfit on one of the pre-season games, saying that it was Eastleigh game i think and all the players had done double sessions before that game and they all looked pretty haggard. Its a shame he had an injury as i think going away over pre-season might have been a chance for him...

Re: Summer Transfers

Defence is more important than strikers. Look at how crap France were in the World Cup; they shut out Belgium and hit them on the counter. That being said, we have one of the worst forward lines in the division bar the promoted clubs. Keeping Moore is crucial but so is getting in a proven goalscorer...

Re: Club 1871 - the What, When, Where, How, Who & Why Thread

windermereROYAL Of course there must be a way around this. talk to the bloody club, you are far too isolated over in that corner.

Maybe just don't bother cos it's pointless?

Hound should hopefully be able to watch some of this - work is quiet this afternoon and should catch the second half on the train home

Train from where to where Hound? Will there be scope for tins on the train?

Re: Season 2018/2019

No, my suspicion is that at least one of Mount or Wilson will do a ‘Lewis Baker’ and not really turn up. And not really sure how much Jozefzoon has achieved for Brentford - typical inconsistent winger But should make it an interesting game 100%. They're not that good. If they were then Rowett would...

Re: The Non - League thread

Cracking signing for them. They should be walking that league, can have no excuses for not winning it. Says a lot about the SPL though! Game's gone. Is there any FFP in National League and below? No I don't think so. I think the Conference is a good leage to experiment with salary/spending caps tbh...

Just log in to sky bet and find the game on there, they had a video feed for the Besiktas game, don't know if they will again today. My suspicion is they won't as for Besiktas it came up on the Reading club homepage as an upcoming fixture, for which it doesn't for the Kazan game. Kazan game will be...

yep just seen the chronicle article. Very dubious about anything they say, but think 250k would be less than I'd want/expect for him. 500-750k would be nearer the mark Not sure about that. We're lucky to get anything for him. He adds no value . Next let's get shot of John Swift Assume that is a jok...

Re: Summer Transfers

I see the squad potential this season as an unknown quantity. It all went tits up very quickly last season and we never really got any momentum or clicked as team. This season if Clement gets it right, inherited a squad which tbh I thought would compete for play offs and he's added some grit, whils...

Re: The Non - League thread

Because they have a far greater budget than anyone else in the division. They will probably have the strongest squad on paper come the start of the season. Evidence of that budget is that they’ve now signed a forward, Adam Rooney, from Aberdeen! Cracking signing for them. They should be walking tha...

Re: Next seasons kit choice?

There will be a new kit, a small number of supporters were at the club a week or so ago doing some stuff for the launch. It should be released in the days leading up to the Palace game. Take it this was a South Stand only affair? Haha. This club is turning into a shambles. Soon it'll be members onl...
