UK strikers abroad has led to me Duffus, Hornby and Ure Duffus playing for St Etienne in Ligue 2. 4 goals and 3 assists in 12 games (5 starts). Only signed this year for them however. Hornby 4 goals 5 assists in 2nd Bundesliga across 14 starts. Expires next year. Seems to win a lot of headers based on stats. Robbie Ure 11 goals 4 assists across 28 starts in Sweden. Ex Rangers and Anderlecht. 6ft 2 and good age. Rumoured to be moving Likely won't sign any

One Makhtar Gueye buys you one Bali Mumba and one Leo Castledine

Logically, knowing this Gueye deal is in the works for a few weeks and we've registration concerns we've already identified and processed a replacement striker who were just waiting on announcing today?

The only way I'd have less trust in a mysterious new bid coming in this week is if Clinton Baptiste was channeling it, and even then I'd be hopeful it's uncle jack from beyond the spiritual plane

That was one of the football games of all time. I wonder if I'll remember to regret this on my death bed.

Seen enough, Ohashi and McLoughlin upfront next week

Dare I say Henriksson is looking serviceable in his actual position?

Then I'll grant you the benefit of the doubt about the drop ball people were commenting on, allowing for the Tronstad bias

What channel are you on?

Absolute dross from TGH

Big nasty team kicking lumps in a something or nothing fixture? Let's stick on the lad who's took 3 months to get fit, and arguably is one of 3 who could savage our season

Not a slant at either (yet) but I think the pace discrepancy on De Neve to Cashin is the most severe I've seen

In 1922, Kafka wrote a novel entitled 'The Castle'. How much of it is still relevant in the modern world? The book follows K., a land surveyor who arrives in a village governed by an opaque and seemingly all-powerful bureaucratic authority centered in the Castle. Determined to justify his presence through reason and procedure, K. pursues permits, explanations, and official recognition, only to encounter contradictory rules, endless delays, and unclear chains of authority. Messages from the Castle are filtered through minor officials and messengers whose roles are ambiguous and whose statements often conflict, giving the impression of a meticulously ordered system that nonetheless resists logic. K.’s insistence on rational clarity exposes the gap between the bureaucracy’s formal appearance and its fundamentally irrational operation. Crucially, the villagers themselves reinforce the system’s power by deeply respecting and rationalizing it. They accept bureaucratic confusion as a sign of higher wisdom, assuming that any apparent inconsistency must have a reason beyond their understanding. Rather than question the Castle’s authority, they internalize its rules and defend its officials, often viewing K.’s demands for clarity as naïve or disruptive. This collective belief sustains the illusion of bureaucratic order and allows the distant higher-ups to maintain their dominance without direct intervention.

That's a risk, I've seen his link up play. There's a strong chance this falls through when he's found 10 foot beyond the plane
