Not seen him in any content in Austria yet - presume he is injured and back here getting treatment? |

Thread | Update on senior squad from a few weeks back....
at 15:53 15 Jul 2024
....still lots of room for manoeuvre and assuming Muric signs
Players are indicated as U21s and counting against squad limit
GK (3) - Muric, Walton, Slicker
RB (2) - Clarke, Johnson
LB (1+1) - Davis, (Humphreys)
CB (5) - Greaves, Edmundson, Wolfenden, Burgess, Tuanzebe
CM (3) - Morsy, Taylor, Luongo
RW (1) - Burns
R10 (1+1) - Chaplin, (Hutchinson)
L10 (2) - Broadhead, Harness
ST (2+1) - Hirst, Al-Hamadi, (Delap)
Have left out players I don't expect to be here wither permanently or on loan - Ladapo, Ndaba, Baggott etc
Leaves us at 20 senior players, with a limit of 25 so 5 spaces available to fill it if we choose to
GK - Assuming Muric signs, think we look to get Walton out on a perm, or Slicker out on loan and replace with an experienced keeper
RB - All set
LB - Do we get a back up to Davis? Sort of role a young PL loan may fill - or we let Clarke, Johnson, Greaves and Cam Humphreys cover it
CB - All set, potential Edmundson goes out and then may need replacing
CM - For me we need 2 more here, and does Taylor sit in with these guys or more with the 10s as we adapt to play more of an 8 in that role, or do we look to cash in on him?
RW - Is Delap seen as the back up here? If not we need one.
R10 - All set
L10 - Feel like we need one more for this role and Harness may make way. KM likes a dribbler (Edwards, Sarmiento) so feel as though we need another utility forward
ST - Al Hamadi to go out on loan? Or do we sign another top striker and use Delap in wing role and as 3rd striker?
Lots of questions - but feel as though still a hell of a lot of business to do one way or the other [Post edited 15 Jul 16:05]

Thread | Are the people at polling station allowed to say candidate suspended?
at 15:08 4 Jul 2024
I voted earlier in CS&NI where Kevin Craig is suspended and nothing was said to me
My wife has just voted and the person giving the forms out is now telling people they can’t vote for him even if on the ballot as he is suspended?
That can’t be right surely? |

A shame as think he'd have been a good addition here, but we didn't have Archie Gray to try and help get the deal done! |

Thread | Senior squad as it stands
at 16:11 1 Jul 2024
Have left out people I expect won't be here next season like Freddie, Gassan etc
Players are indicated as U21s and counting against squad limit
GK (2) - Walton, Slicker
RB (2) - Clarke, Johnson
LB (1+1) - Davis, (Humphreys)
CB (4) - Edmundson, Wolfenden, Burgess, Tuanzebe
CM (3) - Morsy, Taylor, Luongo
RW (1) - Burns
R10 (1+1) - Chaplin, (Hutchinson)
L10 (2) - Broadhead, Harness
ST (2) - Hirst, Al-Hamadi
Leaves us at 18 senior players, with a limit of 25 so 7 spaces available to fill it.
GK
LB
CB
CM
RW
10
ST
Plus a 1 in, 1 out on other players who potentially may move either permanently or on loan:
Would say that Walton, Slicker, Edmundson, Harness & Al-Hamadi are most likely
Humphreys will likely go if we get another LB, but would be handy cover as a 5th CM.
Senior players left out of this - who i don't expect to be named in 25 man squad even if still here:
Baggott, El Mizouni, Ladapo, Ndaba, Ahadme

Thread | With Ben Johnson signing....
at 15:09 26 Jun 2024
....that surely draws to a close any thoughts that some fans have re Brandon Williams signing.
If someone had said to me a few months ago we'd be getting Johnson on a free I wouldn't have believed them, seemed one that would be mega competition for and a real coup to get it done.
Great work Ashton, McKenna and team |

Thread | Hladky news doesn't sound too positive
at 12:04 25 Jun 2024
A friend put his interview in Czech through subtitle generator, then translator so it;s not easy to read but you can get the gist of it:
Nothing signed, due back on Monday, has to weight up options, KM wants him to stay and surprised at how powers that be have negotiated with his agent. But he'll have to sit down with wife and weigh up offer etc
It's Monday the 24th.
June, that means in 6 days, at least according to
to the Transformarkt server, your contract ends, you will be out of a job.
Is it true?
It's true, I'm already finding out the address of the employment office
here in Brno and I'm on my toes. 1.
In July, as they say, preparation begins in earnest
England, but you don't know if you will be part of it.
I don't know, I don't know.
and I don't even know when I'll know.
No, I think that such a deadline is real
on the 36th, when my contract ends and that's it
I think Saturday, if I'm not mistaken, and actually Monday
we are starting training, so it's like
it blends nicely, or builds on each other, and I think
that within this week I should know 100%
if it will be Ipsilic, or if it will be something else.
I'm from VNM, but I've had a successful season, I think
if I have such and such a value, I would like to
scrolled here and here, I like such and such
countries choose from this or is it that simple?
I think that there are several such strategies and
each person, each player is actually completely different.
Just like you said, everyone has a preference
another country, another rating, etc.
If I took it specifically as myself, then
we've had it since...
What we started dealing with Ipswich o
new contract in January, that's it
given clearly that we preferred Ipsvitch that
I want to stay in Ipswich, I want to extend.
And at this moment the situation is a little
she changed because the negotiations are tough.
and not exactly how we expected it to play out.
So at this moment we have that strategy
set up so that any offer will land on us
table, so we'll sit down for a few days and evaluate
you have practically everything for and against.
And it's not like...
and I would prefer this or that destination or league.
It really is that whatever comes,
so we just sit down and on the one hand with the managers
and on the one hand, my wife and I will evaluate it.
So you are a little surprised that the votes from the party
The Ipswich ones are a little different now than the ones you had
maybe they were hinted at after the season ended.
You probably had a one-to-one with a manager who you
did he say outright if he counts on you or not?
Even the 10.
In June, when I was there in person, I am with the manager
lined up and we explained for a long time how we see it, how
he sees the following season as he sees my role, but the result
of it is that he wants me to continue at 100%.
And he was a little surprised how the club.
he conducts the negotiations with my manager, so he too
he took, or rather told me he would talk about it
with the management and will actually clarify the things from which
circumstances should I continue and so on.
So let's see, I would divide it into two halves.
We and the coaching staff are united and that's it
but in fact we still can't find common ground with the club. |

Thread | Aston Villa approach to PSR
at 09:24 20 Jun 2024
Dealing with Juventus....
Douglas Luiz goes from Villa to Juve
Sam Iling Jr and Weston McKinnie go from Juve to Villa
Dealing with Chelsea
Ian Maatsen goes from Chelsea to Villa
Jhon Duran goes from Villa to Chelsea
Dealing with Everton
Tim Iroegbunam goes from Villa to Everton
Lewis Dobbin goes from Everton to Villa
All with fake fees in their, set at levels which get teams on both sides out of FFP and PSR troubles.
It's clever, but almost a bit US Sports like with Trades etc - wonder how some of the players feel about it? i.e the deal with Everton are just 2 players not good enough for the PL being traded |

Thread | 49 constituency visits by Tory ministers so far...
at 09:45 11 Jun 2024
....since election was called.
The 49 constituencies have an average Tory majority of 10k voters from 2019 election.
Think that's quite telling re their expectations, just trying to hold on to their stronghold seats |
