The fact Chelsea, desperate for a goalkeeper for a long time, have never come in for him, should tell people a lot. I think by the time both their careers end he and Jakub will have achieved similar at club and international level. Personally looking forward to Jakub getting his chance, he loves the club and the city, which is something we lack in general.

“Will travel down to London for medical” Definitely already moved there this summer unless his pregnant wife has set up home there herself

This isn't me saying he wont realise his full potential, especially given he's linking up with his ex GK coach which seems to be a real thing these days (Verbruggen bringing in that fella we had...)

Not one bit of me thought for one second Mads would be anywhere near our team this season. I still don't buy the length of the last injury either, the only reason he played Sunday will be because West Ham asked us to play him.

Callum Marshall would be good, player of the season at Huddersfield last year. Striker.

Finding it weird trying to be the voice of reason (given my usual shtick!) Struggling to see how £7m into £16m (which will be plus add ons) isn't a good deal for someone who was involved in an horrific PL season (full of his own mistakes too....) and has had more injuries than some keepers get in their entire career....

Mate one of the first lines in his opening interview was about how great Rudkin is....

I don't think they have, they were meant to but insurance was withdrawn so they couldn't play. Assume that's now been paid as they've said sunday goes ahead

I'm usually the first to kick off about transfer fees, but there's a lot at play here. Signed for £7m, that's a good profit no? He has no Denmark cap yet, someone mention Petkovic as a comparrison, he's off the back of a brilliant season in France for a team that overperformed, he also has caps for Serbia. Also from a Bournemouth point of view, Chelsea know they've made £200m this season... they could have asked for £35m if they wanted! There's also the uncertainty around Mads fitness. I'm not really sure we could have got much more and we NEED money to allow us to build again.

Imagine this has been in the works for quite some time, they already appear to be living in London anyway. (probably down to his partner being about to have a baby and wanting to settle before a move).

£16m with Callum Marshall thrown in perhaps?

Funnily enough the initial website licence runs out in October...

So, they've either edited OFF the sponsor for the release last week or They've shopped that on in time to announce it today/tomorrow now that they've had a bit more time to work out a cover story....

I am lost for words at this point. Circus

Someones just had to send a message to wake up our social team haven't they

That definitely happened as I pressed send....

Don't say it don't say it don't say it don't say it...... Nice and easy so far!

After Everton he's coming home

Can't say I know much about their bowlers, but I imagine their fans would have said that about Green. Their strength was in batting today so we've done a great job there.

Aside from your point, I do really like that as a campaign, assume it's a league wide thing too. Smart from Sage.

Maybe this is when they finally do a dodgy loan deal back to Newcastle after he plays there until Jan or something?

We'll have good insight by 2:30pm Saturday to be fair with Birmingham up first on Friday and Southampton vs Wrexham early Saturday. When you look at Southampton and Ipswich's first games we really have done well. Whether or not those two teams can lay a glove on them remains to be seen, but the noise that will be around both fixtures from Sky will be enough to put any newly relegated side off!

I'd actually say, and tread carefully when I say it as It's not the be all and end all, that we have too few degrees in senior positions at the club. You're right though, i've said on here a few times in the past I got told my application for the club as a graduate 13 years ago was too passionate about my love for the club and that they make a point in hiring of trying not to bring this into the club as it can 'cloud judgement'.....

Anthony's laptop is broken and we can't buy another until we've sold Wilf....
