Nope, none of them. Used to like Chopra, but he's getting on a bit now. If we get desperate, we might look at Broadfoot, because we need another CB, but I hope Robins has the sense not to get him, even on a free. We've got too many CBs like him already. Is that Kirk Broadfoot? If so, he isn't a CB, and to be honest, not sure he's even a footballer. He's a walker and a useless c***. A fish could outpace him and an owl could pass a ball more accurate. 'A fish could outpace him and an owl could pass a ball more accurate' How in gods name did you dream that statement up.

Luke Garbutt played very well for England U21s last night. I wonder if Everton will loan him out again? Depends on Oviedo's recovery from injury.

its all in the eye of the beholder is this 'championship quality'..
Cathcart and murphy have played in the championship, maybe robins sees that as being the only qualifier for this mantle?
don't discount the dobbie rumour either..
same starting 11 as last season with 'tried and trusted' championship quality on the bench?

Doubt it, the starting 11 needs some proper quality in or we may struggle again. If they really mean the aim is to build a side challenging the playoffs that is!!!.

the real aim is to balance the books, with staying in this division as the secondary challenge. I think the 'playoffs' mention was a nervous reaction. We have off loaded some of the big earners but replacing them with 'better quality' sort of defies the money saving objective. The aim will be to have a squad that can 'compete' not challenge. Lets hope it works well enough, again.

No, the club have said that we'll be purchasing players for the first team this year, not backup etc. I suspect we will sign 3-4 players who the club believe are better than our current starters in their respective positions.

I suspect we will try to sign players that may be classed by the club as 'starters' these may be in no way classed as better than what we have already by the supporters. The first team 'starters' does and will include the bench. Any striker coming here will be fully aware that Vaughan/Wells are 'starters' when fit and will be aware that when Vaughan is out we have played with just wells starting, therefore your 'better than our current starters' looks to be a difficult one to pull off in that position. Dobbie and players like him may well accept that situation, better players probably wont and we cant afford to bring in strikers who are currently accepted as 'better' than we already have. Barnes moved from Brighton to Burnley to cover for Voakes/Ings but also in the knowledge that they may well get promoted, it was a very big incentive. We don't offer that at this time.
Its clear Robins sees the Clayton/Norwood combination as his central midfield with a.n other hopefully doing the running/chasing etc. Other than backing up the midfield with another good worker to challenge/replace hogg its the same as above, who currently who is accepted as a better 'player' than norwood/clayton would come here to wait to replace either one of them??
Centre back is a different story and anyone coming here would be definitely of the opinion that he could get a start, maybe we should look at spending more on that position?
keeper will be Smithies with a back up.

I think we desperately want to be in the championship but without pushing any of the limits of our financial position. Im not saying we should break ffp rules but trying to stay here whilst up against teams with big parachutes and bigger crowds etc does mean we will have to do this on the 'very sensible' side which means another season finding it somewhat of a 'struggle'.
some of the players being mentioned on here might be an option if Dean was going to bankroll the debt, but he wont and he now cant.

Strong rumours about a real relaxation on the level of debt with the FFP , Town furious ! Football league havent the balls to deduct points for the breaking of the rules and they believe fines will be ineffectual, we have played by and budgeted by the original proposals and now they are changing it all, Dean will be fuming

I don't think they truly believed how many clubs it would affect. I think the timing for lower league clubs might be knocked back a bit. We are in a league with a few that went mad to get here, mad to stay here and totally 'tonto' to get out of here.

I don't give a shite wether you agree or not.. im not in the gang.. I haven't found one person on here, yet, with any greater insights into football than me.. just different opinions. strangely enough, I have found some that will argue about the actual results, which is just about the only black/white there is in footie??? each to their own I guess..

Lmao do you actually believe that? Your "great insight" involve stating the obvious. The majority of your comments provide 0 insight into anything because you always state what everyone saw and what everyone already knows. Most of your comments are along the line of "keep the ball out of our area so they don't score/attack their area to increase chances of scoring". If anything your "great insights into football" are the worst on this board. At least other people share their opinions and ideas (when they aren't just complaining) to add differing perspectives. A comment saying "I think we should use --- to combat their style/player" is a million times better than your average comment that says "we defended badly so we lost".. The only insight you have is into your own rear end.

He's come on a lot since going back to Everton and benching. He's enjoyed his season, capping it with last night's performance and the tournament with U20s in Toulon. Can't see him coming, but I'll keep at him!

A few of them back together in the 21s. Last season held him back a bit, but he's kicked on again. Shaw's first team call up is potentially brilliant for Garbutt.

Don't waste your time Ted when you log on at 6:30am for your first search of the day.

Well well well .. Cancun kid, giggity and e4steviesmith. The three muskehounds. Desperately clinging on to each other for solace as they realise how excruciatingly unpopular they are. I've never quite understood Internet jealousy. Boys , if your so glum that you've never mustered many "likes" post something intelligent. Don't run around claiming everyone who isn't as unpopular as you is part of a clique.. Cos it's total bollox. Your paranoia stifles you .
Cancun where the hell did that come from ? Were you bored ? Pissed? The guy reckoned he had more footballing insight than anyone on here . Even if he does its totally arrogant to say so... Did I say I had footballing Insight ? Ever? I would never claim to be particularly good at anything.. Except getting under your skin obviously.. Your four letter offensives aren't acceptable on a public forum but hey ho I'm not an admin
Oh, and just to answer your ever so respectful question ... Well I won't answer it, ill let you answer it if that's ok ?

Sensible post, I just hope the striker we bring in is more of a target man a Becchio / Fletcher (Sunderland) type. If Vaughan stays fit he will no doubt be partnering Wells but we desperately need a striker with more of an aerial threat as I think at some stage Vaughan will again sadly become injured.
