would that be a loan or permanent signing?Quote:

Fulham are supposedly asking for 6m but I'd imagine that could be heavily structured with add ons and conditional payments.
That is a good return of goals.Quote:

There was originally more than one point, hence the :- but it's gone.
Do they look sharp in training?Quote:

Suspect that development of Conte end of last season had something to do with our lack of involvement on this. Would also hope it means we are confident of keeping NG.Quote:

We’ve also got Tom Davies, plus Giles and Beechercoming through. - Conte played on the left in the second half on Sunday. I’ve not mentioned Bagan because I feel his future may lie in central defence, but he’s played about fifty first team games as a left back.
We haven’t got the same strength in depth on the right and it looks like Romeo is leaving, but Chambers could certainly fill in there if needed, Conte looks like he can cope there and Kpakio, who can also play on the left I believe, looks like one of the better youngsters produced by the Academy in recent years - there’s also Spiers who is highly rated by many.
Conte on the left on Sunday was he? Interesting.Quote:

Some will say it's silly not to go this way, fair enough, but I reckon the 11 with a 5/6 decent backups leaving room for the younger lot to come through. Lets show them theres a place for them if they are worth it, and not have some 32 year old bench warmer blocking their path.
Our problem last year was that we had a good first team to get us in the playoff positions, but then lack of depth to cover the injuries dropping us down to 12th, it's also much better to have 2 square pegs for every position, that one square and one round.Quote:

It was in reply to someone saying we don't need a good squad let's just have a good eleven, and some kids and hope it works.
Every post I see someone is basically calling you a bellend so crack on that's great news :thumbup:Quote:

I am not so disappointed to miss out on a 19 year old midfielder, he might be talented but at that age we have players we should be using.Quote:
