No, nor the U-23'S either. i assumed he'd gone on this U-17's England thing

That was my impression too, since he said he'd identify players & report to SD & the board

His brother had better keep a good eye on his missus then!

Well, put the kids on the pitch..... they can't be as bad as HTFC were last year!

Give them time, they'll get to next Thursday, have a couple of injuries, realise they've only got a fortnight left, then swing into action.....that's the usual scenario, anyway!

What about Woy Hodgson? I wonder what he will look like in 2041? Exactly the same as he has done for the last 20 years, but he'll be just about to return to Crystal Palace as Director of Football along with the first ever £1bn Head Coach, Wan Bissaka in an attempt to get them promoted from Euro-Pre...

It's only off Twitter. A Cardiff news website tweeted about it, so it's certainly not gospel. I hope there's some truth in this one as he looked a very good player and easily good enough to start for us. Yes, tidy player. Heard a couple of months ago that Betis were rather hoping Cardiff were going...

rob63

Any idea who called it off, Tony?

It's £21m depending on which source you look at. But even £21m could still be decent value in today's market. Don't doubt your info at all Frank, I'd bear in mind that sometimes these Iberian release clauses are inflated beyond the amount deemed acceptable for a deal to be made. It's not as if we'd...

Some very sensible comments there about concentrating on U23's and not thinking about the first team. Good look to the lad. Played right wing-back at Bury apparently........change of tactics about to unfold? Stone says the U-23's is meant to mirror the first team so that the youngsters are prepared.

i thought so too, good worker & good technique. Was wasted on the wing tho, when they needed class in the middle of the park

Klich is shite. Him and Peacock-Farrell would be really poor signings. Don’t know owt about the foreign lads but it’s a bit more exciting getting linked with people you’ve never heard of before! Anybody who knows owt about foreign lads gets ripped into on here. Inferior leagues, won't do it in the ...

Both look good players but if we’re going to Belgium for a midfielder the I’d love us to look at Hans Vanaken at Brugge - 45 goals and 45 assists in 170 games for them ... only 25 ... and would cost the same as Malinovskyi. i think they'd have to pay a bit more for Vanaken, but glad someone else ra...

Yes he is supposed to be a very good prospect and was getting excellent reviews, but he was badly injured half way through last season and sidelined unfortunately. I'm not sure of his status now. I just hope he comes back strong. From what Steve Stone said in an interview from Poland, he's back in ...

Let's be clear though, we cant have everything. Curious to say passing "should be taken for granted" - clearly there are midfielders who make careers in the Premier League in spite of the quality of their passing (because they're superb athletes), and there are some who make it because of...

Berge at Genk, classy DM , can also play CB but he'd cost £20m+, if you want an attacking MF then Vanaken at Club Brugge - 45 goals & 45 assists in 170 games.

I’d imagine that Hart won’t move until the end of July- when his Man City contract would have expired. As they’re still paying part of his salary why would he want to do anything which jeopardises that? Surely they’re only paying him whilst he’s with us and not if he moves elsewhere...? I don’t see...

There’s a lots of ifs and buts there....if he gets injured, if Leeds go up, if Leeds want to buy him, if Tom wants to go to Leeds etc More likely than your scenario is that Heaton doesn’t get injured. He retains the no 1 shirt and either he signs a new contract with us and stays or we get another y...

rob63

Depends on our intent really. If he is going to be number one then possibly until January. If we are happy with Pope or Hart being our keeper then yes let him go provided the offer is right. Think they've shown their intent already by the contracts offered, they prefer £8m now & maybe put towar...

rob63

Can't believe that for a moment, when we are giving new signings 2 and 3 years. The offer of a one year deal would be an insult and the equivalent of a strong push towards the door after everything he has already done for us and can still do. Well, if he regards it as an insult, it wouldn't be surp...

Great! But how long do the club give him to make up his mind?

another year on and Pope is No 1 and Heaton is another year older - hence why the club have offered 1 year extension and not 3 years - the club cannot guarantee No 1 slot for Tom for 3 years, but they can say this year you've got it because it was yours at the end of last season. I know all that, w...

rob63

I'd put the club first and hang on to him and play him week in week out, then he can go, if he still chooses, at the end of the season. If his form fails, or his attitude affects his form (doubtful for Heaton), or he gets injured then we use Pope earlier than planned. I would not be selling him to ...

Yes, Dean Smith won't let them be like Fulham, he's more in the Sean Dyche mould

If we sell Heaton for circa £10m, then a £15-20m purchase of Bowen is a net £5-10m spend. Bowen fits the mould for us under Dyche and would be an excellent addition. This allows room for another big ish (£10-15m) spend on a centre mid too. It would be an outstanding window if this maps out. They'd ...
