Just saw highlights now. Much as we like to knock Aluko he had some nice touches and it was his tenacity that lead to the third. only just watched them. Great goals for Joao. Some nice crosses and touches from Araruna (though ColU goal not great from his POV) Who is that guy screaming his head off ...

Great third from Joao. Just to echo everyone else - he makes a huge difference. Trick is now keeping him fit

Goal for Puscas for Romania

Nice start for him

Hound heart still sinks every time I see Sone Aluko in that list

At least this is the last time - unless of course he has a brilliant season and we re-sign him.

'At least this is the last time' it is then

heart still sinks every time I see Sone Aluko in that list

Holsgrove only really appeared on my radar last pre-season. He looked good to be fair, but I can fully understand why a move to Celta would be very appealing for him

looks a decent prospect

Snowflake Royal Wasn't he involved in the likes of John, Fernandez, Carrico... Piazon?

none were particularly poor players tbf

Obvious statement but all seems very low key is this season. Normally be building up to the start of the season for weeks, looking forward to the first game. Genuinely feel nearly nothing for this

Hopefully the enthusiasm will come back when the league games start up

Tall defensive midfielder who used to be good but now has a number of injury problems does sound all a bit David Meyler sadly

Sorry I just don’t see why we should waste money on someone who spends months in the treatment room every single season. The medals argument is weak - he’s made just over 100 appearances since he left Partizan in 2011. I’m out. think he has played more than that. Quite scout round soccer base sugge...

yep was the injuries and losses of key players, and Stam failing to adapt to that, along with truly woeful expensive signings

McShane, Yann, Obita, Williams, AAH, McCleary and Swift were massively key players from the PO season, and all played a very limited part in season 2.

why do these videos always have such awful music to accompany them?

I'm not a fan of the hair though. Needs a good trim.

Cooper, Stacey, Dickie, Fosu....we really dropped the ball. It was clear at the time they were not far off the required standard (they are not another Antonio who was sold at the right time). What is their collective value now? Was it Stam and Tevreden who shipped them out? I think a mixture of Cla...

Baldock's in there as well I notice

Holsgrove's comments on the spanish league definitely suggested its not all fancy tikka-takka in spain. he'll be fine if he's good enough

NewCorkSeth Seems to be a very highly rated prospect. Why are we getting him??

Kia

Confused and more than a little bemused

But it is what it is. Maybe it is all Kia’s master plan again. Who knows where they will lead us

It is all rather odd. I certainly had a scenario in mind that meant this was actually all very logical but Bowen opting to walk away blows that’s out of the water. Not sure who does the transfers now, presumably outsourced again. Not too worried about the urgency of signings, we are fine for the st...

Wycombe apparently
