Re: Summer transfer window 2023 - rumours, links and discussion.
I think one thing is for certain we will be signing a left back better than Maatsen was as the start of last season. The bar has obviously risen now in the premier league and therefore a good chance he will also be better than Maatsen is now.

Re: Summer transfer window 2023 - rumours, links and discussion.
Key position is this , if Maatsen doesn’t sign we need a big hitter in this position the way VK likes to play. I am sure our manager will have the right choice lined up.

Re: ARTICLE: Striker Amdouni is a Claret
Interesting that on the club announcement he is quoted if I am reading it right that there has been dialogue with him during the last two months.
Certainly seems that he has been a priority, great that it has been kept so quiet until virtually at the end.

THB was brilliant for us , but for big money and supposed potential I don’t think showed the command and strength that Cahill and Collins did for us.
