Oh well Screenshot_20230614-161446_Twitter.jpg Not out of it yet, we'll be in a difficult position if we miss out as clubs will know we need a keeper and Muric, who looks every bit of a confidence man, knows we want to replace him. Do we now overpay for plans b or c or stick with Muric. Think we'll...

I heard premium members get a ticket stub from the orient game and can say they attended

Conroy92

There is nothing at all anywhere confirming this If it comes in at 6000 points, then that seems fair if you are paying £250 Personally I disagree with this, considering £250 is the equivalent of about 10 games if you haven't purchased a season ticket, it seems a bit unfair. How many games would you...

Just imagine when there becomes too many members and it still goes down to a ballot for tickets

Thursday was always the signing days back in the ClaretsMad days

Interestingly enough I had a quick look back at clarets mad the other day, what a barren wasteland it is now.
The days of Holy Custard match threads and big daves paper reviews are long gone.

Conroy92

With the stink the ballot thread caused I've got the pop corn out to enjoy this one. One of our resident posters will be along soon to show his outrage that his 40 years as a season ticket holder means nothing next to someone buying a 250 pound membership. Please remember the orient game folks :D : ...

Conroy92

The summary of his performance against spurs is absolutely bang on. Best individual performance I've seen on the turf. Unstoppable that day. Also that free kick against PNE he scored at Jimmy Mac end could still be travelling now, it just flew into the net.

If we sold Benson, his replacement would want double his wages.

Unless these clubs are willing to pay 15-20m then there's no point financially.

I can't imagine anything under 30m would tempt us to sell Benson right now.

Conroy92

Where are you judging atmosphere from? TV or the ground?

Conroy92

I think it would be better for some fans if we could turn the clocks back to the Fourth Division Days when nobody cared about us and many had given the club up as a lost cause. I mean, just look at this thread. It's embarrassing. It would also keep some of them happy who missed out on the ballot :D

Haha no, only our delusional fans did

There is nothing delusional about wanting the right price for your players. 40m maybe too high but 30m of anyone's money. You ask Newcastle, Newcastle. They'd go back and pay 60m had we asked for it now.

I suspect he will be well out of our price range.

Depends if we have a CB there keen to keep. With Ekdal and Al Dakhil joining, likely Beyer will be made permanent and Bellis in on loan again, McNally could be perfectly poised to get this over the line for us.

Conroy92

An unpopular opinion but obviously shared by others outside of the club with his player of the year nomination, I actually think Brownhill could be the best centre midfielder in the championship, maybe apart from Berge maybe. He's played a slightly more advanced role at times, almost playing as a ce...

Got to be Tella

Changed my mind, went for Barnes

Got to be Tella

Muric 7
Roberts 7
Al Dakhill 7
Taylor 5
Maatsen 5
Cullen 7
Brownhill 7
JBG 6
Zaroury 6
Barnes 8
Vitinho 5

Benson 8
Cork 8 *

Benson gets the plaudits for the goal but Cork came on and took control of the midfield.

Conroy92

Don't think Barnes is the problem today. We are underhitting passes left right and centre. If we keep playing that loose ball through the middle they will break on us. This. Sloppy passing and not moving it quick enough, combined with a lack of bravery. Has anyone beat a man? JBG and Vitinho having...

If we sign or retain four of the loanees and bring another four or five in I reckon we'll finish around 10th - just above Fulham

Signing the four loanees, 30-40m
Signing another 4/5 players- (even at 5m a piece) 25m

Expenditure 55-65m.

Not likely.

Conroy92

We will easily recoup £20m in fees from players we don’t want and free up loads of wages. There will be good frees and loans available. And kompany has proven he can spot a bargain at this level. So hoping for more of the same. As it stands I’d fancy our side now against all of the bottom eight. Th...

Conroy92

I believe you can only have two active loans at any one time in the prem although someone might correct this if not true. Based on that hoping on loans to bolster us out like we have this year is unlikely. This will be an extremely tough window for us based upon the fact that our current loanees hav...

After the utterly abysmal refereeing performances and decisions I've seen this season it's hard to imagine anyone voting Premier League referees a con.
The difference in quality is absolutely alarming.

Conroy92

I think there would be quite a lot of consensus amongst most of our fans to a revamp of our loyalty system and developing something along the lines of a 5 year rolling system with more weight given than currently to attendance of away (and cup) games. This very issue is about an away game and deman...

Conroy92

I’d rather support a system that works over a rolling period. Those with the most points would still have top dibs but if those people stop going as much over, say, a 5 year period, you’d allow those with less (likely younger fans) points chance to get to big games, which is more likely to breed th...

Because I have more chance of tickets than a 16 year old purely because of my age. They are no more or less loyal, not more or less passionate about the football club than I am.

Nail on head.

Conroy92

They should be treated the same. We can’t persist with a system that rewards people just for being older. I think the suggestion of a 4-5 year rolling period for loyalty points would be fairer, the current system has run its course (and I say that as someone who benefits from it). Agreed and think ...

Conroy92

The people that are suggesting the loyalty point number was upped from 6k to 10k or above are only bitter about not getting a ticket. The people suggesting the loyalty points system needs scrapping completely are talking sense. The loyalty points system has vast imperfections. The greatest bias bein...

Conroy92

Also think the frustrations are badly aimed. Blackburn are the villains in this scenario. We have tried to offer a fair scenario in which fans above 6k points have an equal share in the chance of getting a ticket.

Conroy92

There were many seasons when we stayed up in the prem when we still.got beat 6-0 by city so do not use this as a barometer for going down.

Conroy92

Put a £10 on us at 12's with sky with a payout with a two goal cushion. Could suprise them and grab two early goals before they make a comeback.

To be fair just because someone says Muric appears to be weak in a specific area doesn't necessarily mean there slagging him off and think he's sh***. Our coaches and manager will probably be pointing out his weaknesses in training and working on them most weeks. It's quite obvious what Muric brings...

Bastien 5 - just not sure what type of midfielder he is. Not particularly strong, doesn’t spray the passes around or bring any energy. I keep waiting for him to play well but it isn’t happening….

Where is Casper2? Outside of Goodison protesting? Was very vocal about how Dyche wouldn't get the job and no one wanted him due to his 2 relegations on his CV.

Just a bump for Casper2

Conroy92

Not sure on that exactly. I could see why the deal was done, at that time, at that price. Hoped for 15m+. What I found hard to believe is how some posters couldn't see that you need several bidding clubs to be able to raise the price. Like I said at the time, Newcastle held all the cards, yet inadv...

Conroy92

Hard to believe some posters thought £10m was a fair price. Should have been double that at least!

Conroy92

If McNally does ok at Coventry and based on us just signing two more defenders, there could be a good deal in summer involving him and Gyokeres.

Conroy92

Season's in the sun.

We had joy we had fun
We had Manuel Benson
Zaroury down the line
Free kicks for Scotty twine

Repeat

Conroy92

I almost think not having a wall would be more beneficial in these instances. It’d take a lot of guts to try it but I can’t imagine many keepers getting beat from range if they can see the ball all the way. Taking nothing away from Twiney btw - the kid is magic. Some of the free kicks he scored for...

Conroy92

Taken in isolation these comments they might not garner any interest, coupled with other comments and story's from other clubs it does start to build a picture up of him. As Keith Lard would say, no smoke without fire.
