Comment | McKenna: I Can See the Thinking Behind Play-Off Expansion Proposal
at 18:38:16
I agree with Westover. Although those that finish lower down would love a chance of a play off place it bears no reality to a long season where a third place team can finish currently a dozen points ahead of the sixth place team and still not be promoted. It is just a money getting game for the Wembley coffers . Any team and that includes Town finishes outside the top three they don't deserve to be promoted. |

Comment | Woolfenden Undergoing Coventry Medical
at 12:30:47
According to Sky the fee is £4 million. Seems very lightweight to me if AAH's fee is £3 million. Would have expected between £7-10 million. But then he wants to go and we clearly don't want him. (We as in the club) |

Comment | McKenna: The Most Broken Game I've Been Involved In
at 11:08:37
I think before criticising McKenna we need to look at managers like Amorim at Man Utd where an absolute fortune has been spent and they scramble a win against Burnley.
Again a lot of new players in. Some of whom haven't shown their worth.
Sometimes it's not how much you pay for players it's what you get from them.
When England won the world cup they had players like Nobby Stiles and Jack Charlton. Not the greatest players but they did their job. It was a shame Morsy left as he clearly wasn't Premier League class but could mix it a bit with teams like Derby who are full of sh*thousery. Lets hope Nunez is of a similar style and can bring that bit of bite we need in midfield. Just like the Muhren and Thyssen combo.

Comment | Town Complete Signing of Norwich Midfielder Nunez
at 12:07:21
It wasn't so long ago the Budgies nicked one of our supposed top youths. These things happen. Hopefully we have bought a player who helps us to get back to the Prem and stay there.
Maybe when I was a pretty mad young man, a long time ago I would have done my nut if one of our best players had crossed the divide.
Now I am not really bothered.
Anyone with any remote desire to better themselves for them and their family does what's right at the time.
I worked for the lawnmowers in Stowmarket but when i got the chance to move to I.C.I. (Now PPG) I was gone like a shot.
Never ever regretted the move even though I left behind a lot of really decent people. |

Comment | Blues Linked With Wales International James
at 16:04:55
I would rather we heard zilch and then had signed someone rather than these constant boring so called rumours. I know papers and the like have to fill their pages but it just gets a tad tiresome reading day after day after day that Town have enquired after so and so.
My sincere hope is that we ain't working our way through the A to Z of players and end up with Z just because we have failed for whatever reason to sign our first, second, third, fourth, fifth choice player. |

Comment | Baggott Signs New Deal
at 15:49:03
Could be that they see him as cover in defence because Woolfy will go. I saw Baggott play in a Cup Game when we were last in the Championship we lost 1-3 and he scored. He stood out for me and I am surprised we aren't giving him more of a chance to seal a place.

Comment | McAteer Fee and Personal Terms Agreed
at 10:39:23
Whatever the feelings towards this fella we should embrace him and give him every possible chance to prove he was a good buy. It won't help him or the team if he's not accepted by fans because they have a biased view of him. |

Comment | Hutchinson Completes Forest Move
at 16:59:19
I think for myself it's best to say thanks to Mr Hutchinson for what you contributed to our rise to the Premier League. For your sake I hope you are not another in the long line of young British footballers who appear on the scene, look like the next superstar and then fade into obscurity doing bit part football shows as a pundit.
We gave you a platform to show your skills and it has to be said that the manner in which you departed doesn't sit well with many supporters.
Whilst we appreciate that anyone with one iota of ambition would want to be at the head table it is very easy to be swayed by bright lights and even more money as long as you can handle it. Many cannot, some have wise heads on young shoulders. I'm not convinced Omari comes into that category. |

Comment | Chaplin: Role Model Humphreys is Going to Have an Incredible Career
at 15:19:03
I hope Humphreys goes to the top. we could certainly do with a few players coming through it has been a bit of a wilderness for many years for players breaking into the first team. But then if you are aiming for promotion the easy way is to buy players who have already proven themselves. As for Chaplin, well what can you say. Such an infectious player, maybe slightly off top class, but great to have at the club. |

Comment | Davies: Two Harsh Decisions
at 14:10:20
Given for we are all happy. Given against then we are mad as hell.
But that's because the ref and rules are useless. Town don't make the rules and we have had plenty go against us. But never believe things will even out as they won't. |

Comment | Town Agree Akpom Terms With Ajax
at 16:51:03
Why are people talking about Hirst leaving ? I haven't seen any rumours of offers or even clubs being interested and what's the sense in getting rid of one and getting another in.
Even if Cajuste joins us as well we are still short in midfield as we got rid of four and only one has come in. |

Comment | Brentford 'Remain Keen' on Hutchinson
at 13:40:49
I do wonder why transfers are so difficult these days. Whether it's because agents have too much say and obviously the more the player goes for the more they get and it's a fact that Town aren't keen on financing the lifestyle of these people.
Also players will look to go to the Premier League rather than have a hard season with no guarantee of being in that league the season after the coming one.
Also for a club in the Premier League £20 million is peanuts for a player and if he doesn't live up to expectations then so what. |

Comment | Town Confirm Matusiwa Signing
at 08:56:42
If Morsy goes then we will need two more midfielders to come in. With the replacement for Burgess who can apparently play fullback or move O'Shea across there's probably no need for another fullback.
Up front we need another striker to go with Hirst and Szmodics.
With potentially five keepers on the books two will need to be moved on. One loan and one sold I'd say. |

Comment | Town Linked With Mexican International Talks

Every man and his dog seems to be saying we are interested in everyone from Scotland to Mexico. Some I fear are using too much of the old rastafarian woodbines and are going mucho loco senor. |

Comment | Hutchinson on Target as England U21s Win Euros
at 09:42:03
Well done Omari, caused the Germans real problems and scored a very good goal. Sadly though this all adds to his appeal and it will be no surprise if the 3 million clause is met given that players who have equal or less ability than Omari are commanding 50 or 60 million. |

Comment | Ashton: We Have to Look at Recruiting a Different Type of Player
at 09:46:22
The hard part is getting a balance where we have the attributes to see out a three games a week scenario of the Championship against the other needs of being in the Premier League. Many Premier clubs for instance have two top class keepers whilst it can be said Town doesn't have any. Whether there's a need to restructure this part of the team will depend on how many other positions we need to replace/strengthen. We know midfield is ultra important along with the position vacated by Tuanzebe and also Delap and possibly Omari ? |

Comment | Brentford Linked With McKenna Move Should Frank Depart For Spurs
at 16:59:20
All I hope is whatever happens it doesn't interfere with the players we are after now and the build up to next season.
We have a fair amount of rebuilding due to players leaving whether sold, loans or just allowed to leave.
Favourites in the eyes of the bookies mean nothing.They are just money making establishments and they wouldn't be in existence if more punters won than lost.
Sadly it will now be that the manager and players will be touted not necessarily on a the failure of the season just gone, but by our rise the two previous seasons and the reason for failure whilst open to debate was partly due to over achieving and the need to have a balance between trying to keep in the Premier League with one eye on what would happen if relegate and being left with players on big contracts who were worth less than we paid for them.
Gladly that's not the case but with it comes the added problem of some being sourced by promoted clubs and also established Premier clubs. |
