It’s an odd selection. Because you’d expect to see a lot of those players leaving. I am disappointed to see Alves in there….. and Bilal…… there’s no way he’s being sold for less than £30m……

Like many have said I can’t see it happening? We can’t afford to make a loss on him, so he will be valued at £30m. We all know he is good enough, but last years horrific season diminishes his value somewhat. The only way he goes is on loan in my opinion, I can’t see him going permanently at the moment.

Has he been abducted? Literally fallen off the face of the planet?

So many good tracks laid down by Black Sabbath and Ozzy over the years….. Sabbath in my opinion are the best British rock/metal band ever, I’d go as far to say best British band ever…. Especially in the early years, their music far more intricate than some probably care to admit. One thing I always think about Ozzy is he never really lost his voice…. I remember watching them at download and being amazed that he was still able to hold his tune. Even in his final gig, despite there being clear weakening of his voice, which is to be expected through his age and ailments, he could still do it to a reasonably good level. My first ever guitar teacher lived a few doors down from him growing up, and he always used to say Ozzy would just practice singing night any day, Beatles on repeat over and over. He may have lived the rock and roll lifestyle probably harder than most, I don’t think any element liquid or powder didn’t go up his nose in the 80’s, but he clearly worked his ass off to get the voice he did, and it’s unmistakably him, in everything and always had been.

Godfather of metal. RIP Ozzy, a true legend of our time. Incredible innings really for a man who probably didn’t spend a day on the 80’s and 90’s sober.

Good job it isn’t down to them isn’t it. An Independent panel make the decision….. the same ones that agreed we couldn’t be punished last time? So, you could suggest the EPL are on the back foot……….

I think it’s more to do with it’s not a clear case. It’s probably to do with the EPL and EFL trying to shoehorn offences to fit.

Dave Javu. Works the beer isle at Tesco, cracking lad, would have been a decent CDM if it wasn’t for his knees and love of Tequila Tuesdays.

Ioannidis loan with an option.

Since day one, I’ve thought he hasn’t had what it takes to be a top level footballer. He can’t run, he’s very awkward on the ball and doesn’t seem to have any presence about him. Shows the occasional nice bit of footwork, but he will never play a consistent first team football for us, if at all. We were properly done over by Chelsea… wasted £8m on a player who they knew full well would never make it.

He does bounce back very quickly, there was a move where he won the ball back, fell over and sprung straight back up. He’s still. Boy though we need to remember this….. I was still wearing Velcro Lonsdales and wanking furiously daily when I was 16…….

Page is seriously impressive…. Movement of a seasoned pro and football maturity far beyond his years!

I’m a changed person.

I thought it was okay. As far as preseasons can go after only a few sessions with the manager. He appears to have instilled his philosophy early doors, but that is to be reasonably expected as they’ve had this style drilled into them previously on the whole. We are one or two players short of being a good side again. Naturally there’s still a lot to work on, but the signs are promising!

Ayew, player of the season.

Agreed. It does appear that glimpses of what Marti wants are coming through. We already look miles better than last season…..

He’s displayed some nice bursts of pace today. For a 16 year old lad his composure is incredible. He will be so dangerous once he’s comfortable at this level.

Very good pro, for the right wages I’d be all good with this.

There’s some cracking kits this year. Burton Albion’s third kit is a stunner!

I mean, take Physically imposing as you will.

Don’t ask that chap they had on the big strong Leicester boys podcast, is Kacey is 6”4, how ****ing tall will Souttar be?

Tesco are recruiting?

Free coconuts.
