No Lambert? sure....

Jack Butland looked excellent for Team GB last night. Is this one completely dead? A shame if so.

Regardless of how many strikers we have - if that move was feasible it would be a truly excellent signing.

Sounds like Chambers has had a hand in everything going forward. Maybe why we aren't chasing a right winger?

JWP seems to be having a cracking pre season so far!

He's tweeting his goodbyes and thank yous to Palace fans. Its done for sure. On the Palace board one ITK guy reckons he turned down a top 4 team to join us. Wonder if that is true/who it was?

Ridiculous as usual. You must enjoy ignoring anything that comes out of the mouths of the senior management and coming to your own dour view of things.

We would definitely be happy if we'd done the business Reading had done. Bar Marriappa (who I'd have as a squad player) everyone they have signed would make our first team. Whether I'd want them at the expense of squad unity/signing too many to destroy team spirit is another matter. Happy with Jay Rod and Davis so far, but am getting slightly concerned with our lack of recent signings. We still need 4/5 more in my opinion and would have felt more comfortable having them in early. If we don't sign anyone this week I'll start to become more worried.

Reading shaping up nicely, wish we would crack on and push through a few more.

Oh well, if he did genuinely laugh at the idea of coming to us he is not the kind of player we want around. As has been said already, he's played 24 games for Cheltenham and gone to the Euros basically as a mascot. No way he's worth the kind of money being talked about on here. He might become worth it but in our position we can't risk it. Would much rather Kasper, still young and already better than Butland.

We were already 2-0 up when he went off so I'd hardly say that the substitution 'changed the game'. Cork is better for sure, but Hammond was doing a fine job on that day and at the time I was disappointed to see him have to go off.

Exactly, and having brought the subject into this thread he just tells everyone to shut up when he has been proved wrong. A bit pathetic really.

If you can name me one club in the EPL that sells out every single game in a season I'd be very impressed... A bigger stadium might mean that some fans who thought they couldn't get tickets for whatever reason or attracted to go to games, it might mean cheaper prices, who knows? You said that they struggled to fill out Loftus Road, my point is that for the majority of the season your statement was incorrect.

Actually they don't - I live in Shepherds Bush and attempted to get to a few games last season, all of which were sold out bar games against Wigan and Stoke etc. Even then it was nearly full. Apparently they are close to selling out their season tickets this season too without them even making General Sale.

Surely we'll beat Bolton to this signing if accepted?

On TUI a poster has spotted Coventry's young defender Conor Thomas at our training camp. Next one in?

Cracking signing for us. Absolute bargain on a free and should go straight into the team to give us a bit of experience. Can see him and Morgan starting the first game. Could this also mean we see a bit more of Cork on the right, played well there against Coventry. One question though, if we could have had Guthrie would people have rather had him? For me no, but interested to hear what others think.

Finally got through and sorted it on the 01271 number. Keep trying folks.

I can't believe how badly today is being managed.

I just got through on the phone and they told me their server had crashed so they couldn't process anything. Saints you are outrageously ****.

So has anyone managed to get through in any form yet?

The fact the phone system does not and basically has never had the option to place people in a queue is utterly ridiculous.

It just cuts me off straight away. SFC ticketing absolute crap as usual.

Absolutely useless. The phoneline doesn't work either.

On the phone it just goes dead too - anyone got the alternative number?
