    Summer 2024 transfer thread.

    ….Onana might be seen as a ‘sellable asset’ given his loss could be covered, problem is whether his profit would be sufficient to get us over the FFP threshold. Regardless, we need to get through this season first.

    Summer 2024 transfer thread.

    ….Groundhog Day; it’s difficult to move poor players on extraordinary contracts. The aspiration is to buy good footballers regardless of your budget. It’s all good and well lauding the signings of Beto/Chermiti because we don’t have to pay the fee immediately but it’s still dreadful business...

    Summer 2024 transfer thread.

    ….it’s a sign of the clubs incompetence, acquiring & putting ordinary footballers on extraordinary contracts. Inevitably such players are not wanted by other clubs and the players are unwilling to move and take a financial hit. Stalemate. Unless you can make it financially attractive for them...

    ….given our available RBs, Joey, I don’t think it’s a matter of ‘who’s the best’, it more a matter of ‘who’s least worst’. It’s a pretty poor lot. I can’t be having Young, Godfrey is gung ho but I’d currently have either ahead of Patterson.

    2023/24 Nathan Patterson

    ….its funny how posters assume that a player going on loan plays ‘week in, week out’ when it’s often not the case. A few say ‘send Patterson on loan to the Championship’ but he might well struggle for game time. Where points are up for grabs and a managers future is on the line, players have to...

    ….there is no guarantee of success if they stay but a move to a club like City sets them up financially for life. A bit like Thierry Small, he was very well advised to take the big bucks offered by Southampton. They’ll find a level to play at, even if it’s semi-pro.

    ….and I think he’s totally superior but we can review when the time is right. He certainly needs to get us winning games again.

    ….certainly a debate to be had but he has to keep us up first, bit pointless if he doesn’t.

    ….no, I’d have Kendall way out ahead of him lads. Indeed, I’d have Catterick way out ahead of him but it would be a magnificent achievement ;). I think I said 3rd in my post, not a ‘rival to Kendall’.

    ….Dunk is terrific but it’s a bit like picking Tarkowski. Southgate has truly got a golden generation, his strategy should be building a team around them.

    2023/24 Nathan Patterson

    ….he does but I think he could offer much more. He’s got a good stride on him and covers ground in possession. I hoped he’d offer more than he actually has.

    …..I’d love it if Patterson was outstanding in that respect but he’s just not. One terrific cross for the Danjuma goal but he generally doesn’t offer much. Our key issues are not defensive.

    ….you must be getting me mixed up with somebody else, I actually wish we weren’t reliant on Coleman, Young or Godfrey. It’s a sad indictment of our ineptitude that we are ;)

    ….sorry, Matey, i’m in the dark with this lad but I’m sure others better qualified will provide a view.

    ….it says everything that those 3 are ahead of Patterson in the pecking order. Dyche has us defensively quite sound, that’s the end of the discussion really as it indicates he knows exactly what he’s doing. I’m sure Dyche would be delighted if Patterson was the answer but he just isn’t.

    ….its nothing to do with being young or old, its about being good or bad. Branthwaite is younger and holds down his place. Unfortunately in our predicament we’ve not been able to afford an effective RB so have had to do with converted CBs or old blokes on Bosmans. Watch games back where...

    Goats squad analysis thread 2023/24

    ….i agree, he’s a very special talent. If he has to go it has to be for top dollar. From an investment perspective, selling young a CB for £70m has to be good business if we need significant income. It should be much more difficult replacing a highly valued striker than a CB if we have a DOF...

    2023/24 Sean Dyche

    ….its easy to dismiss the turmoil going on within the club. It has to manifest itself in performance on the pitch. Nobody seems to factor that in, Dyche is managing a team under ridiculous pressure. A manager having to manage a team in this situation isn’t normal. Mykolenko improved...
