Um, doesn't the change kit effectively clash with a blue kit? |

Comment | Hladky Fails to Agree Deal and Now a Free Agent
at 09:36:57
Yes, if he really wanted to stay this would have been sealed in no time. A good keeper but certainly not uniquely good. I also doubt that his high risk goal box passing and standing near the halfway line at other times was gonna cut it against PL players. |

Comment | Eustace: Travis Can Play Big Part at Blackburn
at 10:21:33
KMcK will know whether he really wants either of these two who played a supporting role last season. I suspect that they are not the grade of player we are looking for now, as neither broke through into the starting line up as Omari did. |

There are two issues though: What his agent is aiming to do seems reasonable. What he chose to say about it to the press is not what everyone else would do. For that latter reason I believe he will be let go. He is not uniquely talented and he should be positive and excited to get in the PL with Town. So, thanks Vaz and good-bye. |

It is not really about the price. Omari will be worth more in a couple of years, and still a lot even if discounted by a relegation. It's about spreading the payments and securing a long contract, probably with a get-out clause at nearly the price we pay. He is one of the least risky big investments we can make (after Kieran). |

JewellintheTown - the Youtubers are also dire. Nowhere near the standard of League 1/Championship Youtubers. But depressingly the ones I've seen all have a zillion subscribers - so they aren't gonna change. |

Comment | Chelsea Look Away From McKenna

Anyway, Chelsea will have other opportunities to look at him a third of the way through the season and again two thirds of the way through when the next sackings take place. |

Comment | McKenna Representatives Hold Manchester United Talks - Report
at 08:13:31
62WasBest - I agree with this except for the agents bit. Yes, they can do some digging, but he could easily publicly distance himself from it -'all my concentration is on preparing for our new season etc.' . He has left the impression that he is losing interest in us and they are testing his exit options. This is bad for him and for us and I don't think, if he stays, he will get the warmth he would otherwise have deserved. (On a geographical note, Chelsea are based in Surrey so hardly commutable) |

Comment | McKenna: After the Seasons We've Had There Was Always Going to Be Speculation
at 21:05:57
'There was always going to be speculation' is fair enough. But now it turns out that his representatives have been actively talking to ManU while Ten Hag is STILL IN POST. Oh, and to Chelski too. This is not speculation, is it? That's trying very hard to get a move. I'm afraid McKenna's character is on the slide here. |

Comment | McKenna Among Chelsea's Top Targets
at 08:03:51
For me the most plausible explanation is that ManU have indicated to him that stuff will change following the Cup Final. This explains why he seems to be on the way out but nothing is being said. Brighton and Chelsea are just useful diversions while he waits. He's so well known at ManU that they could have the deal lined up already. And I wouldn't be surprised is MA has done the same with someone. |

I'd be more surprised, now, to see him still at Ipswich than to see him at ManU. Ratcliffe wants a new start, McKenna is both that and yet also a part of the furniture there. The fans will give him more time than almost any other potential young recruit, and it will be like coming home for him. The style he brings is exactly what ManU want. Bluntly, I think its a no-brainer for him and them. We're waiting for the Cup final to be over. |

Comment | McKenna Speculation Continues
at 17:51:01
Lightningboy - I think it is fairly clear now that McKenna intends to cash in his success with a big move. It is not TWTD's fault. It is modern football, and he is a creature of modern football, he is not a reincarnation of Robson or Ramsey. I imagine Ashton is already sounding out the Rob Edwards et al. of the football world. |

Meanwhile, this can't be helping our recruitment. So you might hope that Kieran would snuff the speculation out at least in private. It's a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy if he entertains these offers because he will be damaging our preseason recruitment at the same time, making it less attractive to stay. |

EFL Rule states “For any league match played on or after the fourth Thursday in March, any team sheet for a league game should include at least 10 outfield players who featured on the team sheet for the league match before.” But he could put 9 of the 10 on the bench! |

Comment | Blue Action Coach Greeting Ahead of Huddersfield
at 09:25:49
trncbluearmy - you keep posting but are not reading what others are actually saying. This is about pre match routine and prep.
It is not about 'loud' it is about 'when', so stupid sarcasm about sitting quietly just shows you are no engaging the issue.
When you write it is about 'in your faces' you have inadvertently explained it to yourself. In whose faces? Do you seriously think that it helps a player to have fans 'in your face'? Why to they listen to music on earpieces if loud 'in your face' fans helps them prepare more?
You are spectacularly missing the point. |

We are clearly not unanimous that this is a good idea. I am one who takes the view it adds unnecessary pressure and would only be appropriate if promotion was already secured. I think this is becoming a fairly thoughtless habit. For all the fuss it is a small proportion of the fanbase who seem to have a disproportionate sense of their importance. |

Comment | Coventry City 1-2 Ipswich Town - Match Report
at 01:03:48
'The Town captain moved to 14 yellow cards with a 15th on Saturday leading to a three-game ban should the Blues need the play-offs.'
I think the 15 card suspension is cut off at the end of the regular season so this is not an issue were we (sadly) to be in the play offs. The reason is the unfair disadvantage a play off team/player would suffer over against all other teams. |
