Irrelevant I think, they’re not signing JWP to replace Rice.

Haven’t seen it, but I would expect that will be the case. I think it’s very unlikely it’ll be white like that mock-up, why would they

Not that season he wasn’t. He just got found out in the prem cos of his lack of pace,

Cracking left foot. Him and Fraser Richardson/Butterfield were excellent full backs that season.

I think it was reported in The Athletic that the squad had a 40% pay cut. I’ve no idea if that’s everybody. However, it would seem odd to exclude our highest paid player given the fact it’s meant to give us more financial security if relegated. They can always offer him a new contract and new terms if they think they can afford it and they want to

Their family aren’t going anywhere. If he leaves he’ll be commuting from Winchester. He’s off to Turkey on Thursday, as you’d expect. “Will take something very special to lure him away”. My mate reckons Che and Adam Armstrong will also likely stay which is interesting.

I have a good mate who knows him and sees him quite a bit. It’s obviously not something they talk about much, if at all really as it’s none of his business, but what I’ve been told is that the club will let him leave if it’s worthwhile for the club, but he wouldn’t kick up a fuss to leave. He absolutely loves the club, and the area, and he’s very much settled. But obviously if it’s too good to turn down then he would probably go, (the likes of the top clubs). I don’t see him going to a Fulham or a Brentford. West Ham there is a draw because of the Europa League, but doubt the club would consider selling at the prices being quoted anyway,

Would be a disgrace. Not sure he’d be worth selling at anywhere near that price. He could be worth a fortune to us next season assuming he is relatively happy staying, which from what I hear it wouldn’t be a problem.

Blimey I forgot he even went there. Seems an odd player to have front and centre of kit release. DId he play much last season? I don't remember him playing once, but I don't pay huge amounts of attention to other clubs tbh

Dont even recognise the bloke at the front. And wtf is "our anthem our history". A bubble machine ffs.

Also Halo on the 3rd kit, hence the "gold" trim.

Yup agree, and lost Theo and Caballero. Another reason why I’d be signing Fonte.

Only 100? Deserve at least 1000

So this was pretty accurate then. 👌

Fonte.

Think it would be a cracking idea, having someone like him to lead the players if Prowse does go, especially given Theo and Moi went. We have minimal experience, and he would be a huge influence behind the scenes holding standards IMO. And still good enough to be at least a bit part player in the Champ next season.

Seems like it's pretty much a done deal and deserves a thread of his own... Another city youth player, but I remember him from the u18s cup final at St Marys and he looked unbelievably dominant in the middle of the pitch. Big, Strong, and looks a proper player. Reminds me of Rodri. Spending £11m on an unproven player also suggests we aren't skint. Would certainly like to see a few out the door and links to some slightly more experienced players though. Obligatory YT video below...

Nope, not sure anyone remembers when he wasn't good enough.

I'd have him back in a heartbeat

He played a lot at CB in a three for Luton didn’t he ? Maybe that’s where we’ll see him under Martin,

Fulham want £80m+ for Palhinha apparently…! Would put both JWP and Lavia up at the £60m min mark IMO. (Whether you think they’re worth it or not)

Probably because Troyes are owned my Man City and we have something weird going on with them. Like Romeu going to Girona too.

The Brazilian Maldini

Surely too small for their style of football?

Could be massive for us this season, assuming he stays. He’s quality but predictably volatile form at his age. No doubt confidence played a part last year, but he was also not good enough for the prem last year. He also needs coaching to put a bit more of a shift in. I’d stick him in the “jogger” group last season along with the likes of Aribo and AMN. If we can get him on board working hard, he could score 15-20 goals this season.
