Pre the Carling stand being built, there was talk about somehow turning the pitch at filbert street 90 degrees and then having the double decker down one side and more space to build bigger stands on the rest of the site

Seem to remember there being plans for an ice rink under the stadium as well as shops etc.

Chelsea not doing that stupid tippy tappy pass to each other from kick off thing Enzo drilled into winks and Ricardo last season

Playing as a 9.

Assuming we get this over the line there’s every chance this lad will be our captain in 12 months time.

On the bench

If we’ve got anything about us there’ll be a great big staying up clause in there and a lower initial fee. Probably be about £12m all in.

We will want 4 or 5 but I guess will depend on whether we can get Soumaré and Thomas out the door and whether there is a loan option for Cannon which might see us getting an extra forward in. If we can’t exit players it’ll likely just be 2 or 3 max

Likely to be a number of times where he’ll pick 3 x DMs so we will need depth in this position. Surely not even Rudderlesskin would be going for this instead of attacking options so as long as we are on with other business it’s a decent signing. He’ll strengthen our first XI and is a decent player who’s got plenty of minutes in a team and squad way way better than ours.

Skipp and 2 attacking players who would go straight into the XI wouldn’t be too bad, here’s hoping

Hopefully this means there’s a loan exit for Soumaré incoming. Get the waste of a wage out the club

Hasn’t been all season, obvs going somewhere, just prob not to us

Phillips and Cajuste in particular will make a difference to their midfield. Reckon they’ll still be bringing a couple more in as well after Szmodics.

We now aren’t even getting linked to anyone who we’ll be excited about for 3 days before our chips are pissed on. Silence

Booth is a strange one, thought he may have kicked on or at least been around the 1st team squad pre season, absolutely no sign of him anywhere.

It’ll be this with only question whether he goes Choudhury or Buonanotte with Ndidi furthest forward if he picks hamza mads JJ okoli faes VK ndidi winks hamza / buonanotte BDR fatawu mavididi subs Ward Ricardo Vesty Nelson Thomas hamza/buonanotte mcateer alves cannon

Spam the club’s email accounts.

One little thought is just imagine how much worse it would have been had we not been promoted if they’ve ****ed it up this badly with the new sponsorship, prem TV money etc etc at their disposal. Doesn’t bear thinking about. At this point looking at the utter incompetence of Rudkin and our batshit crazy approach to recruitment and the relative strength of every other team in the division I would just abandon any hope of staying up this season and focus on a clean break next season using parachute money to bring in strong champ level players, to complement Braybrooke, Alves, Nelson and Stolarczyk and try and get the supporters excited and engaged with the club again. Don’t saddle us with more shite this season we won’t be able to shift and won’t want to be here next. it’s a fools errand and our squad is already saturated with people who will want to **** off when we are relegated. No more please. Make no mistake we won’t be this seasons Sheffield United, we will be significantly worse than that. Buckle in for 9 months of being laughed at with in particular Ipswich, Forest and Southampton fans taking the absolute piss out of us .

Exactly it. Whereas we’ll end up with a CB who’ll want to leave and end up on loan for the following 3 years, a guy who won’t have the legs for a championship season, a winger we’ve probably put a stupid release clause into contract and a youngster who’ll have **** all minutes this season ready for a big role next. It’s almost like they are trying to harm the club further

Both Southampton and Ipswich are recruiting really well this summer, fair play to them giving themselves a decent chance.

Completely outdone all ends up by Ipswich in the market. Well done to them, meanwhile we are beyond parody. Absolute disgrace, appalling mismanagement just goes on and on and on.

“Our Number 1” FFS 🤣

Teasing the 3rd kit. Their PR dept is so utterly out of tune with the fans it’s actually funny. No chance anyone signs anything tomorrow other than a fat new contract for someone we’ve got already

I’m one of the biggest pessimists there is but not even I thought we could be so inept that in the week after our manager publically pleads for help and a striker is potentially long term injured we’ve not managed to do any business at all ahead of the start of the season given they’ve had since late April to work out where they need to strengthen. Utterly beyond belief. Useless.

Quite liked the ‘Rudkin’s a **** ole ole’ chant from the Blackburn game. Catchy and accurate.
