And is anyone held to account ?

Say it quick enough, and it sounds plausible enough. When you look at this fixture, part of me thinks, “do we have to” ? If we fail to turn up I think it’s only a 3-0 defeat imposed by default.

You really have to wonder what future,if any, for the Academy. Sports Republic will probably view it as an unnecessary cost. Completely wrong in my view, it should be seen as vital to a club like us. Even Rupert Lowe was supportive of bringing home grown players through.

Is that ‘R’ for Russell ? How appropriate.

You might have covered that in your earlier comment. He’s not exactly spoilt for choice is he ? Unless you’d rather he select Smallbone there.

Or Sheff Utd could try and offload another of their prolific goal scorers to us, the legend that is Rhian Brewster. * They've seen us sign BBD and Archer, so might be gullible enough to accept the backstory of Brewsters great still to be fulfilled potential. *See he’s scored tonight. Great potential there Rasmus.

At that sort of level we’d consider going (three of us), but object to them taking the piss at current prices given the rubbish served up on the pitch. To charge £20 on top of the season ticket for our crap this season is an insult.

Wouldn’t you rather he was sold, or will you be cheering his return ?

Have you checked the Rennes Forums then ?

Get a move to another PL team for next season perhaps

I recall he was linked from the time Koeman arrived (2014)

I read he joined 1st July ( Transfer Market website).

I thought VVD predated Ross Wilson. Having checked though, he didn’t. That said, I doubt Wilson was the one who brought that deal with him in his first weeks with us.

Still got Man City at home and Liverpool away to come yet. just have to hope they’re before or after a European night, might be a better time to play them.

Christ !!! Selles - two wins NJ - one win Lego - one win. Rasmus, Semmens deserve to be pitchside explaining this clusterfuck

Perhaps we need to call back the white witch (or whoever has taken over her role).

So why haven’t we insisted on an obligation to buy if they’re promoted? If as you say that’s the acknowledged plan there might not have been too much resistance. Perhaps we’ve been too trusting, or naive in our negotiations.

Hate to break it to you, but we probably won’t have that concern in a few weeks. I think SkintSaint summed it up, if he’s any good he’ll probably sign for another Prem club once we’re down.

Should be drummed out the club for taking to the pitch with his socks like that.

Agree, it’s strange how that has worked out. Of the signings made I thought he was worth the risk for the fee given his scoring record at Sheff Utd last season. Archer though, I’m still scratching my head about. As for BBD I expect he’ll be back in the summer. If Sheff Utd go up, they’ll probably look to upgrade, and if they don’t then can’t see them buying him. The £10m looks like a bit of a sweetener or padding on the deal.

Just hope he helps to sauté the defence out

Aren’t Genoa one of Spors clubs ? (If so, I like him already - although perhaps worrying if Cornet is the sort of signing we can expect from him)

What exactly is the distinction between Technical Director, and Sporting director ?

The Lemina ‘connection’ started with reference to Hobbs (DoF from Wolves) who was also linked. Spors certainly isn’t tarnished by this at all. And agree, appears a potentially good appointment.

That ended well. Suggest you look again.
