Good news

Re: Chambers captain, R Colwill vice

Interesting choices, so Chambers is to be a guaranteed starter you would think. But in which position?

Colwill to be captain tomorrow then, also a very likely starter.

Re: Chambers captain, R Colwill vice

I happy with chambers. But Colwill never saw that coming. One he’s just not that good, when he has the ball he hardly ever makes the right decision I would say he very selfish and could do with out the responsibility of being captain.
This is making me doubt BBM now or could it be a masterstroke. Have to wait and see.

Centre-back with Fish and Lawlor fighting for the other spot. I think that's fine for this division but we still badly need a left-back. Bagan's alright for a few games but there's a reason we've been putting someone out of position there for years.

Left back. Now. Please.

Colwill not that good?

He really needs his own pinned thread on here, so we can settle it once and for all.

Good
Not good

Not sure how long a contract Callum Chambers was given when he joined in the Summer 2024 transfer window but , if it was 3+ years the his salary doesn`t count in the player wage costs for the purposes of the SCMP (Salary Cap Maintenance Protocol) that the club has to operate under in League 1 with player wages capped at 60% of turnover.

Who else did we sign then under similar length contracts that the same would apply to?

Re: Chambers captain, R Colwill vice

No really obvious choice so I'm not surprised. Showing a lot of trust in Colwill and giving him some responsibility like this may help. Really hope he has a great season.

If the reports at the time were right our summer 2024 contracts included: Chris Willock - 3years; Alex Robertson - 4 years; Jesper Daland - 4 years; Will Fish - 4 years; and Roco Simic - 4 years. Then in January Yousef Salech got a 4.5 year deal.

Who’d sign him without him having to take a big cut in wages?

I thought Chambers was the clear obvious choice, not sure about Rubin though!

Nothing could highlight the lack of genuine leaders in the squad more than these choices.
