Thank you, but may I also ask who the business/local businessman is you were referring to please?

May I ask who this was? Or was this a joke? Sorry I was only like 10 when Huck's was a star on the wing! Sadly too young to learn of such a tale of how he got here?

Again, put yourself in either Delia, SW, or ds' shoes and what would you do? Your realistic transfer or personnel targets? Robins anyone? Woy as dof? What about proven champ players Dwight Gayle or alike? Aden flint? Jamal back? Josh Murphy? Not saying we should go back but just what would YOU do?

I'll concede onel is a form player, but seeing as he is already in our books I still fancy him, based on last champ performances. Better than placheta, sgt, tzolis (on his showings) and I think the kind of winger DS would fancy. Would you release him then mate?

I've seen on here people rave about Rashida but I'm unsure he has shown definitely that he would score a bag full at champ level. What's your thoughts? I'm keen to get onel back in the ranks tbh, think Smith would get a tune out of him. Actually thinking about it I'd rather fancy SaS getting hugill scoring too! More goals than sgt ... I'd argue pukki will still score than 20goals if he is here next term

Do we really think sgt is the answer in the champ? I can't see him and idah getting 25 goals between them

He's a decent squad player, not even a regular nailed down champ midfielder so let him ago unless his wages are dirt cheap! Zimbo, love him and what he stands for at our club. If he's cheap he is a decent option at CB, especially in the champ (feel like that is the main ethos of this squad) but yeah, not worth mega money

Rob dickie is very decent

It reads that the agreed price is 11m for cantwell. Whether anyone as an individual wants him back or not, 11m for Todd, one of the crown Jewels held so highly just two years ago, is very sad. 11m. Pffft, yet again, it feels we always sell for a nothing price. I thought this with the Murphy's, EMI, Lewis, Pritchard. To some degree Madison too. I'm not dragging it all up but just saying. Do we think max will go, and if so, what kind of price would you think?

Were they worse than Karanka's Boro? Oooh I did hate that time waster in goal they had, dimi was it? Worst timewasting / unsporting/ cheating team to face us? Nominations please?

givin** The three I pick plus Aiden flint actually

This man watches the champ! Those three In the summer would be mega for us, need a striker or we given hugill another go @Move Klose??

I know and totally agree with the tettey comment. I just can't believe there isn't one scout who his a name in his pocket for that intended role. It's exactly what was needed three year ago. Is there no developments on any players of that criteria, must have or should have been watching his development for two years or so, can see if he would fancy and fit us. Then we hit well with Skipp. And as if there isn't another like him yet no one else clambers for him, only us. This Is not to say he isn't excellent it's to to offer the thought that they must have or know alternative. Id like to ask the board and Webber, and the scouting team, who are the names who have been considered and scouted for either the Skipp or tettey mould, and what's the progress or why I have we not got them. Did you stop trying after amadou?

Whatever happened to hondermark? I take it he didn't make it here so anyone know the inside track? Anyone remember us signing a promising young striker called Cole Lambert? Also, is omotoye or Dicken peters doing well on loan?

How do we feel that although on the face of it these premier League players are paid a very large amount per week, what about (and let's just assume all is legit with regards to their wages) what about the taxes they pay on it every week. Taxes that in theory pay for social security, social care, infrastructure the NHS. Think about what would happen if their salaries were capped to say 30k a week. Think how much tax the govt. Would lose? And anyway, no point having a go at the players. Good for them, we would all do the same. It's all private money as well so who are we to complain. The thing I find crazy is think that there are people out there who are willing to go be mo 400k a week. On one player. Not even feel it. Crazy wealth that!

We miss emi more than the 30odd million has proved useful. In fairness what other side's win the league, go up and sell. Should have stayed, what was the worry from him? He'd of still got a move if good enough! Money? Was there nothing we could do? Wages I mean here? Or at the very least, we could of held out right to the death and milked more of villas money from the jack g sale Needed him to get best out of pukki. We had already lost steepi and mario - although deemed surplus to this premier League season. Hmm DF did loose his best weapon, and had pukki close to nullified by loosing EMI. Yes Webber gave him some new (young guns) but what was the plan? They don't totally got into our winning system of the time - as in DFs team! Smith now should be given the chance to do his version of the squad but that will cost and this year's been poor really, not blaming Smith but it just has. I thought the whole point of SW and his role was continuity of style of play, regardless of manager, so surely the appointment after DF should have been happy with DFs system/style or similar, which also suited the squad. Smith maybe was never going to be that guy. Different styles. So? Again rasies the question who did SW have in mind when Daniel was fired? And why he signed those type of players in summer that don't truely fit DF style?

Agreed! Got me ticket and night off sorted and gunna scream me lungs out! Come on you yellows!

So what are the three teams people think are going come end of may? I think you can make a case with Brentford but they do have points on the board already Everton you would fancy will stay, even if poor form, Frank surely can't make that big a mess can he? We have to have been considered dead and burried but deano and shakey have gave us a chance, we are prob the form team down there Watford. Should be gone but Roy is handy, do we fancy him to pull them out? Burnley. Games in hand, and dyce knows what he is doing as does the squad, but is this one year too many (much like Wigan 6/7years ago) Newcastle. Hmm, didn't exactly go for it this window, it wouldn't fill me with confidence if I was a fan. Eddie Howe is a 🃏 Is there a side I'm missing who should be considered as part of the scrap?

Or better still, we could next year! Williams won't be here so! I do fancy shakey and DS to get a tune out of onel in the champ!

Interesting point Re. Cantrell here, however I'd love to jump on this post and start a sub-thread for this post! Best one or two season wonders for ncfc (not ones who have literally been briefly on loan for six month and had to return, or only been here for a season and then sold re maddison. Literally Id like to dig out the ones who were average before, had a good patch for a season or two, then back to average! Same for strikers in the PL or champ for any side! DJ Campbell was a great shout! Hope this is okay lads! Just a bit of fun!

K.moore went for three and a half. Would we fancy him? Or wrong type of player? The thing is we aren't going to find a striker similar in movement and quality to pukki that we could afford (although his style that has worked so well in the DF system may not be the same one DS ends sticking with) I really like the kyogo movement for Celtic but would he come, and wouldn't be cheap cheap! Not beating the club with a stick but we know we need goals, its apparent that neither that rahsida or sgt are goal scorers so leaves us still with pukki n idah, same as prior to SW getting the other two in.

Good for him indeed! I think DS and shakey would fancy him in the champ! They may get a tune out of him and onel as well! I assume this means k. Moore to Burnley?

Had a CRP day so came on here for a loan! I'm in credit, I'm rarely negative on here! Right, if we were offered srbeny back, would you take him over Josh Sargent up front? ... Yep, I need a laugh so go for it! I also thought I haven't seen Josh Sargent thread today so I don't want him thinking he's got off lightly 😉

In his prime, had a couple good years at champ level and scores goals. Can cross (may benefit hugill?) and is a bit of steel hardened player. Would be affordable with alleged interest at 2m bids accepted, and id imagine wages would be a good match to what we'd want to ideally pay l, considering the chance of champ football next year. We also know Wallace can perform in the champ, and he may well be able to produce in this league too. I understand he hasn't been tested at this level yet, but we need to fish in economically fair waters and we wouldn't be able to attract ready made premier League players (I completely understand the argument that is indeed what we need though but.another story...) Personally I'd prefer Jed Wallace over el ghazi. Finances read better to. As does the goal scoring stats, and lord knows we need this year and for sure next year regardless of league, especially consider the three who continued to always play pukki through to score have all gone, ie EMI Mario and steepi. Not particularly saying Wallace will unlock that but his gaols would be needed. Dean Smith may get extra from him. I'm unsure is what we need tbh, admin style of play but I accept that it may be transitioning so again, Wallace from Millwall could be that answer. Also, readers, just as selfish personal thing for me, today marks my first year that I lost my father, and God bless you all for providing some memorable and entertaining posts that me and him have had a good laugh over after we've been tonked on a Saturday!
