He doesn't get enough goals

Selby Claret

I think for two reasons he wouldn't be a good choice: 1) His philosophy is built on creating a unified close-knit group with players' characters / personalities / ethics as much a part of the recruitment process as skill level. Dealing with a bunch of overpaid prima donnas may not be his forte (or t...

Selby Claret

I'm led to believe that the clubs couldn't agree so it went to the Premier League to make a decision - Wolves wanted it on the Monday night to allow further recovery time from their Europa League game. As Targetman has posted, it has to go to one of the broadcasting times so was always going to be ...

Unless we are saving a space for a free transfer between now and Jan

Hart / Legzdins / Pope / BPF
Lowton / Bardsley / Mee / Long / Pieters / Gibson / Taylor / Tarky / Dunne
Defour / Cork / Westwood / Hendrick / Drinkwater
Lennon / Brady / JBG
Wood / Vydra / Rodriguez / Barnes

I count 25 there......

Leeds were top with BPF in goal - they then signed Casilla in January - dropped BPF, finished third and lost in the play offs (losing 10 out of their last 22)

I'm guessing that the spraying of white on the doors mirrors whatever the slightly darker blue shade is on the top half of the shirt

Will we see them in it tonight at Rochdale? Or will they be in an away kit......?

Selby Claret

Does the club even care how many they sell to fans and when?
20000 shirt sales at £45 a pop is still less than a million - hardly a major source of income (and I'm sure we don't sell anywhere near 20000!)

Is the staggering of kits at Umbro's request - i.e. supply chain?
