  1. It is not a rumour.
  2. With information that Alfie House gave in the podcast with @stevegrant and subsequent posts on X it was quite easy to work out it the striker that he had been told we were interested in buying was Downs. The attributes that were mentioned all pointed that way.
  3. Johannes Spors looked at the BBC squad and identified specific types of players he believes we need that we don't have already. Will Still plays against the opposition, using squad players that can exploit weaknesses in the opponents. They have identified Downs as a player that can do this. In an era of up to 5 subs per game squad depth and the ability to really change things up is essential.

    Goztepe

    Sound up for this signing... 🕺

    Goztepe

    Sabra is now done. If transfermarkt is correct, he played for 4 separate age groups for Jordan in 2024 U19s U20s U23 and full team.
  6. Solak's interviews with Blackmore and House suggested it was a mistake to leave us in a position where we had to spend so much money to stand still (IE buying players that had been on loan) But I think the fact is we're looking to find players that gel well with Still's needs.

  8. Very clever..... Magic 8 ball to symbolise asking "What does the future hold?" after the uncertainty of 24/25 even down to the questing of Solak Selling up. "No doubt about it" is a bold and confident affirmation.
  9. Came on at 78" and was the final penalty taker in the shoot out...
  10. If it is Downs we get a target man who, though not quite as tall as Onuachu has a higher top speed, a better positional sense and better link play.
  11. a very muddied comparison. a better comparison is Club value of squad, and Koln are directly comparable to clubs the size of Stoke or Bristol City
  12. Thats quite a coup.... getting that exclusive for his third post on X....
  13. or that the player is currently in the middle of the CONCACAF cup tournament, and his national team is due to play Costa Rica at midnight.

    Rento Takaoka

    We'll find out when he comes into training. He played in Japan's U21 game June 14th so will be back later than a lot of players.
  15. Armstrong is a fantastic player in the Championship, but he's not made the leap and performed in the Premier League. 6 goals in 73 premier league assistances. 21 goals in 46 championship appearances. I just wonder if he'd be happy being into a new project only to not hit the heights in the top division again. It's almost fairer on him for him to play elsewhere.
  16. Plans are currently in for a new Warehouse to replace the Old burnt out warehouse. 25/00284/FUL it lists the owner as Coal Pension Properties Ltd, so it does what it says on the tin. Its a Coal miners union pension investment. the plans were put forward based on the OLD city plan and not the 'renaissance' plan. I would hope whatever Dragan's plan are, it will involve buying this from them.
  17. I'm not sure you're correct there. I would anticipate any indoor arena be to the South of the Site where the industrial estate is.
  18. but red and white stripes dont sell, and you're losing a revenue stream by putting out a kit that people already own. You Dont have to do 'A' because 'A' has happened for a long time. Look at Goztepe, started off as yellow and red stripes, but evolved to just incorporating red an yellow. Theyve had halves, quarts and chequerboard. Last year had this. Identifiably Goztepe but doing something different. I hope at somepoint we're just red and white without relying on dull repetitive old stripes.
  19. Dull, uninspiring, deckchair revisited. They don't sell as they're so similar to our oft visited stripes. The sooner we consistently move away from the barber shop sign the better.

    Goztepe

    Looks like Goztepe may get a big cash injection if the transfer of Romulo happens. RB Leipzigs offer of 16.5 million Euro (£14.05 million) has been rejected. Would be one heck of a turnaround in Profit. They only exercised the €2.5million "option to buy" 5 months ago.
  21. Tall player. Long stride. Slower first few metres, but I'm pretty sure the Bundesliga official site will be diligent with their figures.

    Will Still

    Before the first game of the season, Will Still will likely be the 17th Longest Serving Manager in the Championship?
  23. the Bundesliga website that was posted earlier suggests otherwise. lists his speed as 33.95 Km/h
  24. really? what basis do you have for the negativity? in Downs you get an aerial target due to his height. A player that's said to be positionally intelligent. Then you get the fact he's a good stylistic fit into a Will Still team. and Tim Lederer, the rumoured new Chief Scout is going to be very well versed in the unders' category so will have followed Downs for a lot longer than any international Stats site will have data for.
