Re: CONFIRMED: Pelle Clement

Seems too good/old to sign for the u23s but not up to championship level so seems a strange one. Anyway, in Stam we trust. Welcome to the club Pelle! He was with Stam for 2 years in the Ajax U21 side, so I'm sure Stam knows that he's good enough. Good enough for what though? Since he's made his deb...

Re: CONFIMRED - John Swift

Hound Yep, utterly predictable conclusion

I can barely remember an important match in my lifetime that the team i wanted to win on pens actually did so


Brazil in the last Olympics? Though admittedly it's hardly a team I support.

Adie Boothroyd, a poor club manager in charge of a international team. :shock: Germany are light years ahead in teams of skill and and movement. Harsh on Boothroyd. Germany's lot are far better.

Re: The generic transfer thread

No Fixed Abode Bertrand Traore completes £8.8m deal to Lyon. Decent young player. Hope he does well so we can buy him back for £50m.


That seems a ridiculously low fee. How long does he have left on his contract?

Re: RUMOUR - Andy Yiadom

maffff
John Smith Swans in with an official bid apparently

500k, they want 2m.

Dodgy Ghanaian media saying we're willing to pay the full fee.


Swans won't pay more than the 500k but willing to use Oliver McBurnie as a makeweight. Us and QPR in for the full amount.

Re: RUMOUR - Andy Yiadom

Sutekh
alfie9 Yiadom played left back quite a few times for Barnsley last season. So he could provide cover for both flanks, which would be useful


Sounds more and more like the Ghanaian Chris Gunter.


Except he's English but ok.

Re: Players you'd like us to sign thread

The sooner we can sign these players and the football season can start the better. I hate spending Saturday's with a woman. I can't wait for QPR away. Bring the game on. Football's just like a woman. Costs a lot of money, sometimes makes you happy and invariably more often than not will frustrate t...

Re: RUMOUR - Andy Yiadom

Let's not beat around the bush here. A few good performances in the latter stage of the season doesn't change the fact that he can't cross, can't defend, isn't overly quick, bottles a lot of challenges, passes back too frequently, and overall is a consistent 5 out of 10 player. He's built a career o...

Re: CONFIMRED - John Swift

I'm slightly concerned for next season, we saw what the Gold Cup did to G Mac and I'm worried Swift will suffer from burnout too. He's wasn't great in the last few games of the season for me. I trust Jaap will be aware of this and will have enough depth to keep Swifty fresh across the season Not co...

Re: RUMOUR - Cyrus Christie

Confirmed by Smudger as a target. Slightly embarrassing for Talk Reading if he does sign... It's fairly obviously that talkReading has a source inside the club, if there is truth in the rumour (which I believe there is) then the backtracking was probably insisted upon or at least he was fed that we...

NewCorkSeth I think Ian Harte is retired.

Yeah you're right well done, that doesn't change the fact that his position is left back.

Well.. It does.. He doesn't play football anymore so he isn't a left back. Tenses matter.
