If he joins, we'll have to learn his name fairly quickly USA or someone will no doubt take offence to us referring to him as "the Japanese lad". 😆

Not quite the proverbial "must win" game but even at this very early stage, this game could have a huge bearing in shaping the early part of the season. Win and we've somehow turned what was looking like a catastrophe into a fairly useful start. Draw and it's a bit "meh". Lose and it's still a bad start despite the great performance yesterday. So far under Ismael we've been unable to get a result when it really matters. Over to you lads.........

If those figures are roughly accurate then, there "should" be room to bring in the Japanese lad.

Yeah it's a right shit hole round there at the moment. Any away fans hoping to get a pint or a bite to eat will be sadly disappointed for the foreseeable. It'll take quite a while to get it anything like in the immediate vicinity of the ground.

Are we? After selling Travis/ Brittain/ JRC etc? (Genuine question - I dont know)

Yep. Arguably the priority position, seems really highly rated, and a relatively high value deal by our standards. What could possibly go wrong? (Apart from Suhail pulling the plug mid flight/us sending in the paperwork late/us mis spelling on the paperwork or us forgetting to press "send".)

No idea. All I know is they've lined up on the left side for us to date.

Tbf saying they are "hard working" is a compliment.

"Exciting" isn't the word I'd use tbh. Good luck to this lad if the move comes off though. At 2m E it would be towards the top end of our transfer range. Travis money being spent?

Ooof.

As they used to say on Stingray "Anything can happen in the next half hour!" I suppose Gestede was right to a degree when he said the window was going to be "exciting" if you can call being stuck on a runaway train or a car where the brakes have gone, and you're wondering whether you're going to survive or be completely wiped out, "exciting".

It was probably more Waggott and Venus. Mowbray was there for a while though I think. Kept them up initially then bombed when handed the job permanently

Not shooting the messenger but about the same as Dolan then and most people reckoned he was crap?

Surely in the general scheme of things another left sided player is the last thing we need with Kargbo, De Neve and Hedges already on the books? (Albeit the latter two are crap)

Ismael signing a player who is 5 ft 6? BS alert.

Interestingly Waggott was a SISU appointment. I reached out to Coventry fans for their thoughts when Waggott was trying to flog Brockhall. Suffice to say they weren't very complimentary about the Coventrio. And that old goat Mowbray got honoured here the other week as well.

Whatevever's happening at Coventry, they seem to be going in the right direction. It was widely reported yesterday they finally owned their own ground again. High profile appointment in Frank etc. So something must have worked.

And in this comparison you paid £200k for the Skoda and it costs as much to maintain as a Roller.

Well, its seems to me it's just a deliberate clear out of the higher earners rather than any sort of strategy based on footballing criteria. Whether or not it's a stroke of genius or we end up in League 2 or lower we'll have to wait and see. Very premature to be describing anything going on at the Club at the moment as "common sense" Id say.

No idea who this bloke is but we need an out an out winger not a RB who can fill in on the RW etc.

I used to think it was Waggott getting you to say all this sort of stuff on behalf of the Club. Obviously it wasn't.

Nonsense.

There's definitely a player in there. The problem is is he varies from looking virtually unplayable as at West Brom under Lowe to looking like he's never seen a football before, there seems to be very little in-between with him, very few solid 7/10 performances. The key is unlocking the WBA version on a regular basis. That said if you could do that he probably wouldn't be here in the first place. Edit: Don't see much future for him under VI. VI seemingly doesn't rate him and Gueye knows it and has sort of sagged as a result. We can't let him go without a better replacement coming in though, we're already bereft of options up front. Not sure how he can jettison Leonard either really without giving him some sort of chance but that appears to be the way that ones going as well.

Not even in jest.....please!
