Love BEK, but if we need to raise funds we need to sell him. Monga should be great in that role. I would keep Mads at all costs - So many teams are going to sit back this season that we need a GK who can start attacks.

Skipp will do well this season. Still a bad bit of business, but he’s going to have a good season.

Wasn’t he on £70k/week here? They can’t have offered even half of that. Fair play to him if we’ve asked him to move on and he actually has rather than pick up his wage and chance his arm next Summer.

Really like Mads. Rather we kept him to be honest. Selling just means more hideous recruitment anyway. Personally don’t think Stolarczyk is near to his level just yet.

That would actually be a good move for them and him.

Saudi actually gives me a bit of hope that we might be able to shift him. No serious club in Europe is going to pay £9m and then £70-80k/week+ for him...he's just not very good.

Yep - Probably more running in central midfield, but less of the very high intensity runs compared to fullback. ...and anyone who is over 30 knows that this is where the injury risk is!

Adidas Evo SL are the best 'all rounders' I've ever run in...and I've tried them all! Within your budget too.

Finally some positive news. What a coup.

Abdul looked really sharp physically - Surprised me given how long he’s been out for. We should be really strong in the wide positions this season. Unfortunately the spine of the team is about as fragile as you can get!

Could Kasey be a striker? Very good runner/presser and can finish. I just don't rate him as a wide player at a decent level...

What a talent Monga is man. Why is he staying with us? He's had some bad advice

Patson silencing the doubters! Will get you 15-20 in the Championship - No problem.

Well if you read the Ndidi transfer thread people reckon we'll easily get £10-15m for him this Summer so he should be going at least! Be surprised if we get £5m, but we'll soon see I guess... Nobody will ever pay for Soumare so he'll be here barring a loan deal.

Ndidi and Soumare center-mid pairing is different levels of shit isn't it.

I thought the same to be honest. Reminded me of young Grealish actually - Clearly capable but loses the ball so often that he's often a hindrance to the team.

Do we!? If I wasn't working I'd be pretty annoyed I'd wasted 45 minutes of my life watching that

He gets a clean slate from me for this season. Slate won't be clean for long though so he's going to need to hit the ground running!

The influx of youngsters should give us the refresh you get from new signings. The squad seems massive - We desperately need to get players out. It would be great to get a really promising striker in, but if we have to go with what we've got I wouldn't be too worried. Championship isn't great.

Good shot stopper and brilliant with his feet. Could be a bit more commanding of his box I suppose. Not sure why you're baulking at him being worth that tbh - I'd say £35m isn't too far off his value.

All these links have to be his agent, surely? He was available for free last season…we literally couldn’t give him away!

It’s OK to say he hasn’t been very good for a few years Still a legend. I thought someone would pick him up as a PR move to be honest. Serious clubs won’t consider him now though.

They have had quite a while now to get on top of this. Getting silly.

Cheers. Back to a sensible approach then. When I moaned on here about the charge last year, people told me that it was impossible to provide them for free nowadays due to all the costs involved, and that I was naive for expecting it. We must be really flush with cash this year then!

Are all the pre-season friendlies free to watch on YouTube this year?
