Comment | Blues Among Clubs Linked With Liverpool Youngster
at 11:57:13
We hear a great deal about players from 'big' clubs, who are apparently worth a small fortune despite having achieved absolutely nothing in men's football....at the age of 20+.
Made similar comment earlier. If we go down this route, we have to sign the player, and he has to go straight into our first team and be good. A big ask, but we only have a couple of seasons of financial advantage and that adds pressure. Trust the Club, but it makes me nervous |

Comment | Nigerian Youngster on Trial With U21s and U18s
at 10:50:16
Agree with all comments except the age thing. But on age, if we are bringing in players of 18 years of age, they have to be close to be being first team ready. Hope many players 'break through' at 20+ ?! |

Comment | McKenna: Interest in Omari Natural
at 21:16:26
Hope Omari learned the hard way that it's not easy finding a home in football....and he has one. He needs to be in a front-foot team and cannot help think Brentford will be almost as much on the back foot as we were last year. They most likely going to start sliding whereas, as a Club, we are on the up. If he goes, then need to be to a better Club than Brentford. Simple |

Comment | McKenna: Legend of the Club Morsy Will Leave With Everyone's Best Wishes
at 21:12:17
None of us realised quite what Paul Cook was on about when he was waiting on Sammy to get in the side with comments like "those things won't happen with him about".
Well it was a bit of a ropey start, but after McKenna came, he has shown us everything we could have hoped for in a midfielder and captain.....and a really nice person (off the pitch). Boss is right. IF he goes out is a big hole to fill.... HUGE! |

Comment | Simpson: I Made the Wrong Decision to Turn Down Town Deal
at 10:40:08
Easy to forget we were a shambles back then and then you consider the money....it was (sadly) probably the only decision he was going to make at the time. The regrets come from not having kicked on and now being injured. Loved the lad, but not convinced things would have worked out much better if he stayed, especially knowing what was to come at the Club. Get healthy and go again....and best of luck! |

Comment | Hutchinson Exit Looking Closer as Brentford Agree Mbeumo Fee
at 13:45:46
Tommyc, Brentford did not meet the criteria in time, but remember that clause would have been put there by Omari's people as a get out....that does not mean we value him at that price. Suspect and hope that our valuation should be significantly higher. If he was Brazilian it would be double and Real/Barca would be interested, as they are targeting youth/potential and Omari could be anything in the right team! |

Comment | Ruiz Not Interested in Moving to Town
at 21:07:34
For so many reasons this would have been a punt....not least his numbers for a championship winning team. Go make the Hackney deal happen Mr Ashton and this won't even be a footnote! |

How quickly people forget what a coup it was to get him in at the time. Yes the Club has put paced his talent, but given time am sure there is a player there....but accept that will only happen elsewhere. |

Comment | Town Targeting Boro Midfielder Hackney
at 12:56:20
This has been my summer fever dream....can't come true can it?! Make it happen Mr Ashton..... and try and keep Sammy too. If that happens then (and only then) I will agree with the bookies about us being favourites! |

Comment | Morsy Flying Out to Kuwait Today
at 12:53:40
Legendary status already assured. Top player, top man, who has arguably completed English football due to coming to our wonderful Club. I was proud to see him lead us out at so many major stadia, to lead us to promotions and be such an ambassador for us. Am sure he feels he can play into his 40s but also understand the Club can only go so far to keep him financially.
Even if he turns this opp down now, this trip is a sensible reccy for the future, but I really do believe he is not ready to leave us just yet and we still need our main man to (at very least) set the standards. However, he is for sure correct in putting his family first.... we have to accept we are his 2nd family!
Right behind your Sammy, regardless. Always a Blue! |

Comment | Town Academy Awarded Category One Status
at 15:00:55
Well done all concerned and that we put the BS that it didn't matter (not current leadership) behind us. It always did and does today. More pressure on the Academy to deliver 1st team players too, which is also good news |

Comment | Blues Among Clubs Linked With Scotland International Miller
at 14:56:39
What he needs to know is if he will get regular minutes, given his age, progression and amount of games he has already played. What we need is an upgrade in midfield for this season and someone who will then be more productive at Prem level than what we had last season. If these boxes are ticked by Ashton/McKenna then break the bank and go get him....but suspect that is unlikely not least due to (latest trend) physique. |

Comment | Burnley Now Leading Cajuste Chase
at 18:06:25
I repeat. Love the guy but was not physical enough, nor able to be fit enough to help keep us up. We need to be bringing in Prem-ready players and as much as I loved his style and ability, the whole package is wrong for us. Dodged a bullet i suspect. |

Comment | Cajuste's Besiktas Move Still in Question
at 20:04:27
I guess this is the kind of redundant content you get when literally nothing is (on the surface at least) happening. We only really need 4 quality signings (1 CB, 2 CM, 1 CF) and would assume we identified targets ages ago, so the Club is presumably working on and holding out for them....but be so good to hear something! |

Comment | Hirst: Somewhere I Feel Valued and Wanted
at 19:25:16
Wonder how things would have played out if George started last season fit and in the team. He/we will never know but his loss was massive and this is great news. A bit like Omari, he was shunted around before finding a home at Town. Honestly think this is the right deciding for George....and Omari should take note and do same! Now for some NEW signings! |

Comment | Players Return For Pre-Season Training
at 12:08:51
Chieo and Harry down the right could tear things up this season and give Leif room to do his thing on the left....welcome back lads.
PS for those Harry haters on here who have critized him before when he basically played the whole of the Championship season injured and in pain. We are yet to see him him fully fit and flying at this level, so please give him a chance now he has finally had his op! |

Comment | Young Full-Back Lewis Signs First Pro Deal
at 10:38:52
Great stuff and delighted for the lad. Has to be said though that this season in the Champoionship is (hopefully) a short window for young players to impress and get game time, as that 'oxygen' was in short supply in the Prem. And at 18, you have to be making inroads on the 1st team, otherwise why sign....maybe why he delayed. We have a few players that have come to the Club in their late teens recently; it cannot just be to improve the U21 side (though that has merit) but has to be aboutproviding talent to the 1st team.....and Ashton will expect results and soon from the Academy....I hope ! |

Comment | Tuanzebe: Memorable Two Years, Thank You
at 11:06:01
Great guy, was our best defender when on the pitch but I maintain that we need more offensive capability from RB slot this season....there will only vbe a handful of games where we will need to shut up shop...so maybe he is not the profile for this year. Plus, he wants to be in the NW so good luck to Axel and family, be well....it has been a pleasure ! |
