Carter's already hobbled off injured in his first game of the season, that's part of the reason a new Hyam contract would be very much welcomed, at least he can stay bloody fit

I thought as much. Ribeiro I presume already had a deal agreed prior to his initial signing if both parties agreed to it. Forshaw would probably have signed anything we waved under his nose as he wouldn't have any other offers. So we either have nobody at the club capable of structuring a contract renewal, or we simply do not want to - i fail to see how it can't be 1 of these 2 scenarios and either is equally as pathetic for a championship club, well any pro football club really. I can't blame Brittain for wanting out because at 27 years old this is his last meaty contract before be passes 30 and starts getting offered shorter less lucrative deals. He could have gone about it better though, refusing to play is a cunts trick. Suppose he'll have seen it worked for Szmodics though so he's now expecting the same.

Hyam must be on a half decent contract as you assume we had to offer him a bit more than he was already on at Coventry, a new contract would presumably make him one of our highest paid players - if this new contract offer even exists of course.....

Have I completely forgotten someone, or has no player signed a new contract since Greg left? First team players not youngsters.

You shouldn't refuse to play for the team regardless of your intentions tbf, it's obviously not Brittain's fault were owned and ran by twats, but as it stands we still pay his wages.

Seems to be am obvious strategy with the transfers this summer of targeting players from relegated teams, unless its pure coincidence of course. They really ought to change the filters on the scouting software a bit now though and get a striker and centre half in 🤞 You'd expect we get probably 2 or 3 loan players in, so no sure how many, if any, more permanent signings we'll make....

To Madeira still available?

He won't even have been there back end of the season as he was at St Mirren, not saying that makes him a better signing in any way like. Must have been a decent pedigree playing for Arsenal's youth but seems to have gone backwards. So as back up maybe decent enough, as a Brittain replacement absolutely not

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c62gd25ydzwo Although in the speech I heard she quoted a number of teams who'd been impacted by dreadful owners, no mention of us though. Suppose keeping the lights on, just, means they're OK to some....

Just ridiculous stubbornness now and won't admit he was talking shite. Players often divide opinion, Tronstad isn't one of them, he's universally rated by our fans, apart from 1 person 🙄

The comment by frostbite adds weight to the assumption we recruit via football manager……

I don’t remember him at all, worryingly his highest rating in a match for Cardiff came against us at Ewood too 😂

He's not really unproven playing at the level he has for Brondby and he's just made his debut for the national team, I'd be made up if we took a punt on him

I'd be amazed if he wants to go to Turkey, he'd 100% favour a move in the North West to be near family.

Just watched a YouTube clip (i know), his year in review 2024, its actually frightening, just gives the ball away almost every attack 🤣
