Ric Flair

It's 24 or younger as at 30th June

Yeah that's what I recall at the time, seven figures were mentioned but maybe mistaken.

Presumably we are entitled to compensation?

Obligation is promotion and using youth.

Give him the armband.

Taylor will end up here when Kristiansen goes.

Gonna hit like crack when Asmir signs an extension too. This summer is one for the ages, it's peak Micky 2004.

I'll reserve the judgement on this one to see how our recruitment as a whole is. I remain unconvinced this current scouting and recruitment network have a single clue about how to rebuild this club and if we are literally going down the Micky Adams 04/05 route when we were skint and needed major squad turnover so just got every free transfer going then we're in trouble. Chaplin still has some mileage left in him, Ings as well is quite worrisome.

At this stage we'd be better not to play him again for the fear any interested party will quickly scarper.

That's not true at all, Cifuentes had a very good record at Hammarby and to an extent at QPR of blooding academy players and young players in general.

Oh my god, Vardy's just come on.

As a League One club with only a year left on his deal as well, £10m is probably ambitious. Ronnie Edwards only went for £3m in similar circumstances. £5m with add ons and a sell on is probably all we'll get.

All the best Jezza, go light it up. Got all the tools there to be a top player.

At 23 as well he's never making it at Man City. He's comparable in profile to Nelson, if we lose him for a modest fee and get Burns for a bit less then i'd be OK with that.

This should free up a spot for Joe Allen to come in

Very similar profile to Ben Nelson.

Is Opoku in pre-season with us?

Point of order, unless he goes abroad next summer we'd be entitled to far more from a tribunal than what Torino are offering us. Unless of course he opted to go abroad next summer which it would be on a free.

Whether fans want to believe he's not good enough after a shaky final few months is up to them but we handled Nelson very badly over the 4-5 years he was on the fringes of the 1st team. I really do not blame him for wanting out, especially how crap we are and ran as atrociously as we are.

When has that stopped ever stopped us?

The 4 deregistered from the U15s are all internationals as well aren't they. Consequence of our decline.

Man City usually pay their way and if Motsi didn't notify us he was off before end of May then we ought to be in a stronger position. We have a decent relationship with Man City. This is a shame as he would get in our team next season, or ought to.

I used to use an Iceland shopping trolley, struggled to get it in my boot though.

It's been an extremely frustrating 6 weeks but i'm back running and pain free. Did a few 5-6kms last week and then did a 9km speed session yesterday and felt pretty good. Fitness is compromised from the last few months but if i'm injury free then i'll try and slowly build that back up. Plan is sub 1hr 45 at Robin Hood Half in Sep, free wheel round Leicester Half with a load of folk in October and then tick it over until the Brighton marathon block.

Got to respect a coach who dons the specialist gear. Barking orders don't land as well if you haven't got your Sondicos on.
