Collins played 30 times in the Bundesliga 2 seasons ago. Let's hope he adapts a bit quicker to the Championship than the last player we signed from Germany...
I've said for a while that if you keep signing League 1 and 2 players (or poor/old Championship ones) you'll end up with a League 1 or 2 side. Not strictly true if you sign the best ones but last year we flirted with relegation.Quote:

I always remind myself that this board is not generally how the stadium feels on match days - it helps me a lot and I remain "excited" for the season ahead 👍👍

30 appearances in 2019/20 while SC Paderborn finished rock bottom of the Bundesliga, 19 appearances this season as they finished mid-table in 2. Bundesliga - the division Robert Glatzel has scored bags of goals in. Collins is 28 in August.Quote:

Glen Williams suggesting he's here because of his versatility, which suggests to me he is a squad player?Quote:

I can't say I'm excited by any of the signings but given I've seen none of them play at all I also can't be too disappointed yet.
At least from what I understand of them there will be more pace in the team. So the football might be poor still but at least it won't be so slow.
Hopefully we can get a few decent loans towards the end of the window.
I've been excited every pre season since 1959 it's what silly supporters do!Quote:

1978 for me and yes it is and now my son for the last 18 years since he was nine is the same - love it and the love the ride 👍Quote:

He's out of contract this summer and my guess would be that, at 21, Man United would be unlikely to offer him a new deal, so it might well be that he'd be available of a free in the same way Adams, Alnwick and Collins are. I see Dundee United are going to try and sign him permanently this summer, but you'd think there'd be a few bigger sides in for him. I may be being unfair to our manager here, but I'm unsure if Levitt is a Steve Morison type player - for myself, I hope we are trying to get him and would like to think that we'd have an advantage over others because coming here would probably help his chances of breaking into the Wales team on a regular basis.Quote:

I think Morison wants players that are going to run themselves into the ground and press all over the pitch. That isn't Levitt's game!Quote:

I saw somewhere that Ratcliffe has been releasedQuote:

Where have you seen this? I imagine it is just because him and Morison are big mates. I can't see why Wallace would come here.Quote:

haven't seen any rumours on players like this though.

You needed to filter that to show only players with a transfer value under 250,000. :hehe:Quote:

4) Sign Bale on the cheap.
5) Spend 15 million on 2-3 quality players.
6) Mid table finish.
They’re all out of contract, I’m not sure that matters in this case.Quote:
