I think monga and page will probably both get minutes today and start on Tuesday can't expect the youngsters to start every game

Ayew getting 9 means no new striker I would have thought

Was really good pre injury, nowhere near after

Yes they definitely overpaid because English. To be honest that was more my point the fact James Trafford is one of the top ten most expensive goalkeepers ever is crazy

James Trafford Burnley to Man City should be in 9th 31.2 million euros

Ah thanks - I guess he won't be able to play then?

He will be able to play on his old contract stll as long as it hasn't run out I think

People were leaving early from the fieorentina game as well and the stadium was only a third full loads of traffic to beat on a Sunday night

I hope that we should be fine from a PSR standpoint this year seeing as we have Vardy (150k p/w), Coady (70 k p/w), Ward (50k p/w), iverson (30 k p/w) and probably Ndidi ( 70k p/w) off the wage bill which will save us almost £20 million a year on wages as well as the £2 million for coady and possible £9 million for Ndidi. As well as I pretty sure I read one of our big loss years drops off the PSR calculations this season. This still won’t allow us to spend, due to PSR and not having the squad space for new player, but might stop us from having to sell Hermanson or Bilal to comply?

Did you go to any games last season or do you just like to complain because it was sung pretty much in everyone of the last 10 home matches pretty loudly

Yes I get that too. I think we have 3 or 4 youth ayers that will have a decent part to play in the team this season and hopefully by the end they will have established themselves as starters

Yes but do you not think that part of the season he lost his way was loss of confidence from poor form? Just to be clear I absolutely think we should be playing the youth players most/every game just don't think they necessarily have to start straight away

I do think we will see a lot of the youngsters heavily involved this season but I wouldn’t be suppressed if we hardly ever see them start at least to start with they will be brought on at 60/70/75 minutes each game to get experience. This is probably the right thing to do I mean look at how throwing Luke Thomas in at the deep end knocked his confidence and stunted his progression it’s taken him 3 years to start looking like a decent player again don’t want that to happen. So yes the youngsters need to be regularly included but we need to be careful not to put them into to many confidence knocking situations

Of course it means something. In the same way thar players will still go to man u rather than forest despite forest finishing much higher up.

No matter if you are tight or not (I don't think you are but you could well be) outside of the internal lcfc supporting bubble we are still seen as a much bigger club than Ipswich and have significantly bigger pull. We are not seen as a basket case club even if we deserve to be

The websites wierd and when you click through actually only seems to be £15 a ticket at least it is in J3 but yes still more expensive than I would have liked

A lot easier for them to refuse to play a friendly. I think the players that are still there will want to play the league game in the hope that they could get some points from it so in the event the club does get sold they have a chance if staying up. Rather than just forfitting

Coady was on 70 k in the championship and 100k in the prem. Pretty sure anyway that he was the unnamed player in the percy article from a while back on these wages

Wrexham looking really strong for this season with Danny ward in goal and Coady in defence

No we replaced iverson we haven't brought in another first choice keeper and if sold would still only have 2 senior keepers

Not really he says the clubs are still along way apart and Rudkin isn't exactly known to accept offers below evaluation

I don't think it's true that they haven't made it clear there were multiple games towards the end of last season with load continued chants of "we want rudkin out", " Rudkin's a ****" and "sack the board"

Anyone going to the fiorentina game can we have a rudkin out chant going from minute 1 to make it shown that we still want him out and are feelings aren't going to change

Yes true someone does have to want to buy the players however there are opportunities that he dosen't take e.g. Iverson had a offer last Jan and he didn't sell him then let him go for free in the summer. I'm sure there are many other examples as well

Yes this us a valid point. Personally I think Rudkin needs to go or just be moved back to the academy as he has shown he is incompetent. However this is clearly not going to happen, so just bring someone else who is a qualified DOF I'm to support him. There is not necessarly need to sack him if he has a better team around him. But it seems at the moment we would rather just do nothing
