Ex Pig John Lundstram on his way to Ipswich on a free after Trabzonspor couldn't afford his wages

The rest of football needs to find a way to devalue the FA Cup. The EFL, if it hasn't been consulted, could respond by extending the EFL Trophy for a season to include Championship clubs and all EFL clubs withdraw. Change the format to home/away leg straight knockouts and kick the pool games into touch and kick out the PL U21 teams. This increases value to a crap trophy but also coverage and therefore direct revenue into the EFL. Or every club from Championship to National North/South threatens to pull out. Totally devalues round 1 and 2 but gives the true minnows a chance to progress to round 3 and get a premier league club. How many overseas viewers will tune into Morpeth Town Vs Grays Athletic in round 5?

Yep

Fly high matey. R.I.P

Emi Martinez in goal for Rotherham that day and Jack Hunt gives away the free kick for Nuhiu's equaliser

Jesus, I had that hoody. Ennesse or En-s or summat. Then I found that Adidas did one exactly the same and bought that instead.

The interest from Napoli, however slight it was, died before Christmas and since February he's been played wide on either wing and not in his favoured central position. So he's had enough, he wants to leave, and he's looking back to England. His agent is making discreet enquiries. Turkish media had him linked to Hull City (maybe for obvious reasons) in January but nothing came of it.

Work with a Birmingham fan who's shitting himself. They were expecting an easy game but he says they've never won a game against a team with a new manager

Charlton have put an offer in front of Bakinson. Seems Jones likes him and sees him as a useful squad addition

The problem is where our released players think they should be. Johnson will still think he's good enough for the Championship. Bannan will too or top end L1, unless he heads back to Scotland. Wilks will hope someone higher than L2 takes a gamble, as will Dawson, and Bakinson is in negotiations to move to Charlton.

Moore didn't fancy Brennan when he was here so I can't see him bringing him in to Port Vale. James could possibly go, even if it's just for regular football, but that's about it.

Depends how many want to drop to L2

That would be stooping to their level when their commercial dept sold out of Richie Barker "I was there" and "lightning strikes twice" Darren Garner t-shirts

This is Southgate we're talking about. Rashford and Grealish will be in the squad.

Got a lot to do with the size of his shopping list for next season and how much it would have cost 'uncle Tony' Toytowners better get used to a good few seasons in League 1 as the cheque book will be used sparingly

Yep. Apparently top of Moore's list. There were rumours he'd already lined up a house in Wetherby as Leeds had a few Spanish speaking lads and we didn't at that time About to be sacked by Santos for fitness and performance issues (and also they can't afford his now halved wages) something Beale accused him of at Rangers

Be interesting to see which 'better club's he goes to as only QPR were stats monitoring, before his injury. 21/22 he was on a shop window loan at Hull, as Man Utd had made their mind up on him. Hull didn't want to buy him and neither did anyone else. 22/23 and they couldn't get him out on loan in August. He went on a loan to buy at Portsmouth in January but they didn't want him either and he didn't want L1 as his 'stepping stone' 23/24 and he had no other concrete offers apart from ours. Without us he'd have been trial hopping as an unregistered player. He might have to adjust his attitude next season. Coming from Chelsea's and Man Utd's youth set ups doesn't give you jack all in the free agent market

The fact that we offered so many (thanks for getting us promoted) extensions and brought James in from Blackpool suggests that was the plan all along. Moore was never going to be the man to rip that team apart and go with youth. That's why there was all this talk about the plans were already in place and agreed on. Couldn't do that without a load of pre-agreements and/or a fair amount of tapping up.

If we're in L1 then a Championship club will pick him up but if we're still in the Championship and he thinks he can get regular football at a lower end Prem or top end Championship club then he needs a reality check on why we were the only ones to offer him a contract this season and a one year at that

Anybody picking anyone from that list, apart from Vaulks and Bernard, regardless of which division we're in isn't building for the future. If we're in L1 then we have to follow the Ipswich route and go young, fast, and agile. There are players in there, spread of a lot of clubs, that could gel together and compete in the Championship. Not give Palmer, Iorfa, Bannan, Johnson etc another just to get us out then have to start the rebuild when the prices go up

https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/li-tie-everton-footballer-jailed-match-fixing-china/ I can't remember him either.

If he's off to the MSL then he probably won't want to get hurt. Their transfer window reopens early July and he can go straight into playing.

Hope those seriously hurt pull through ok.

But we're not playing a Peterborough team who thought they only had to rock up and then couldn't handle the pressure. We're playing a team still threatened with relegation and a team who've not secured the playoffs yet. Then Sunderland might have last day flip flops on but they're at home. I'm not being defeatist, just realistic in how each game should be approached

Still stirring though isn't he.
