Think wing could do a job in the champ, just wouldn’t stand out like he does here He is around 30 but don’t think he’s had loads and loads of games in his legs - could go for another 4-5 years I reckon He will be 29 next month and his game is not about great pace. Luka Modric is 38 and Thiago Silva...

I really don't think Wing would cut it in the Championship these days. I think many of the younger players would step up though, while the higher skill and fitness level would see him struggle to be effective. As for Wing I do believe that with younger legs to work alongside him he could step up fo...

It's just nice that, for the first time in years, we're retaining a decent core of the squad and talking about targeted signings before the season is over rather than being left with a 7 a side team and scrabbling around in the bargain bucket in July after every one else has had their fill. Very mu...

Lita, Asaba and Convey are all a mixed bag. Lita was quality in 106, and a small spurt in the first prem season, but he never really performed consistently and ended up failing. Convey - FDTW has summed up perfectly. Asaba actually did ok in a poor team, and was only here 1 season, but didn’t meet ...

It's very rare a League One club actually signs a player for a transfer fee anyway. We got some very good League One players for free last summer - Lewis Wing; Sam Smith; Harvey Knibbs all spring to mind. I imagine we'll be able to do good business again from the free market. We'll also be the only...

Aren't we still under an embargo for the next 2 transfer windows? If so , it will just be freebies and loans and at least last season's acquisitions show what can be done but seeing the numbers retained we might not be doing too much business regardless of the ownership. In L1, there is loads of go...

What embargo/restriction will we be under if the takeover goes through? Are we still looking at free transfers/out of contract players only?

Apart from Kane and Rice, there are backups that could do as good a job (Grealish, Mainoo, Bowen) Rice would probably get my PotS vote (fighting it out with Rhodri and MacAllister) Mainoo elevated already way above his current capability IMHO-maybe in a couple of years time. He has looked like a li...

I suspect we'll find out there are several in the summer. How many of those 6 do people expect to actually have a good tournament? Two? Three?

No surprises really apart perhaps from Rushesha being offered a contract. I guess , as posted elsewhere, the deal for Azeez is so that we get a fee when he goes. Last season the club did really well in bringing in the likes of Wing and Bindon in particular plus Smith and Knibbs. We really need simil...

no but im a bit pissed off that the club does not sell a simple blue and white scarf :| been trying to get one for my daughter for a couple of seasons now. And they don't sell them. i mean wtf, its the number one thing you'd expect a football club to sell both instore and online I have just checked...

Wonder when the release list is coming? Got me into checking what happened to last years lot, pretty much a tale of failure Loum went to Saudi, seems to have played a fair bit there - 26 games from what I can see Casadei didn’t really kick on like I thought he might - 8(14) appearances for Leiceste...

BRO_BOT Maguire out injured

So no centre or left backs available for tomorrow



Calling the loss now!

Isn't it a plus that Maguire is out?

Unfortunately for England he has just about 7 weeks to get fit.

You have to laugh at Birmingham; they survived easily the season we got relegated and looking good lying in 6th in early October, when the new American owners decided to sack the Manager John Eustace and bring in someone to "instill the winning mentality and positive culture" that the new...

I presume you’re referring to the first penalty. Was discussing this with a Gooner mate last night and he thinks it wasn’t a great deal different to the Rice/Davies incident from the North London derby. Whether we like it or not, Ait Nouri was late and anywhere else on the pitch that’s a foul And t...

https://i.ibb.co/dkPphYx/IMG-9364.jpg A shame that football is played by 11 and not 6. With 3 of the forward midfielders very left-footed maybe there could be a problem with balance but it is a very good 6. Where does our back 5 come in world ratings? Nowhere near the top IMHO. BTW France and Portu...

Oh look, blue shorts. Oh look, white shorts :wink: https://www.readingchronicle.co.uk/resources/images/13526183/ The previous posting to yours showed our greatest ever team wearing blue shorts-I prefer them but would go with white-only socks. What about boots-should they all be the same colour?

Crikey. What a final day this must have been https://i.ibb.co/nLm4MLC/Screenshot-20240426-205713-Samsung-Internet.jpg Buckie Thistle told yesterday they don't meet the requirement to join the Scotch Football League, so the authorities decided no one is getting promoted from the Highland League.
