Re: Deadline Day

It’s not necessarily the amount you spend but it’s what you get for the money. The big clubs also waste a lot of money on overrated players. That’s what we can’t afford to do.

Re: Summer 2025 BFC Transfer Window - Links and discussion on the Linked player only.

Shouldn't be letting Ramsay go anywhere - he played really well for the full game against Derby and is now on the bench. Letting him go out on loan and then having to try reintegrate him into the squad might not be the best decision. I think a loan out is definitely what he needs. Decent club at de...

He also produced the cross - an outstanding cross, on the run, whilst running away from the goal - from which Flemming should have put us 2-1 up before half time.

Re: Summer transfer window

When the last season finished the most urgent areas of strengthening for me were central midfield and a striker. We haven’t got either yet. Strong options at left and right back were probably needed too but the season is fast approaching with some big gaps and an imbalanced large squad.
