Amen to that. Others could certainly learn from him.

Bree is injured.

Snap, this is the side I posted above. We're probably both way off 🙂

Think we might go 5 at the back so something like; Baz Yuki Edwards Stephens Quarshie Wellington Fernandes Charles Armstrong Downs Robinson

I get the feeling he doesn't enjoy this part of the job plus, it's his first one for us. The guy is a football nut so I'm certain he's buzzing to get the season underway. Depending how we progress in the season he may relax into these press interviews or, if it goes pear shaped, he's probably going to find them very tough. Let's hope it's the former.

Thought the press conference was scheduled for 13.30. Can't see a link on the official site.

I didn't say that.

Presumably if this is true Tyler will be back training with the big boys next week. I don't think anyone is paying what the club claim he is worth. If so we may be left with a disgruntled player for a season and end up selling him for a lot less next year. Not convinced Rasmus or whoever is handling this particularly well.

Get him to have a chat with Will Still and he'll find everything interesting 🙂

Charlie Taylor is 5'9" so a decent size for a full back....plum.

Paul Trollope was very down to earth and spoke a lot of sense. Spors and Parsons gave the usual glib responses. Parsons was adamant that any club interested in Dibling should pay the going rate yet we are quite prepared to lowball other clubs for their players - you can't have it both ways mate.

So basically wasting everyone's time until we decide whether to make a sensible offer.

I'm sure the club have known Dibling will likely be leaving for more than a week.

Obviously no idea how true this is but, if true rings the usual alarm bells. Are we going to play hardball with the likes of Everton over Dibling and, at the same time, make derisory offers for potential decent signings like Rudoni? If so it only end one way.

Deal would probably fall through because we'd ask for too much money.

This has rumbled on for a while now so, if a deal is close, I hope we have some decent alternatives lined up already.

Fans keep making this 'excuse' for Tyler yet Fernandes showed no such drop in form or tendency to go missing. I get that they are two different characters but I don't buy the excuse for Dibling so perhaps his inclination is to slack off when the going gets tough.

The famous midget forward line - that'll work.

This is news how?

zzzzzzzzzzzzz

If Everton get Grealish I can't see them wanting Dibling as well. If so not sure who else is interested in Tyler at the fee we're asking so he may end up with no choice but to stay.

No way is any Championship club going to stump up £20m for Fellows.

Nice interview, thanks for sharing.

How can anyone possibly know the ceiling of Tom Fellows - he's just turned 22.

That's what I was told so why isn't he training with his team mates ahead of our first game of the season? Surely that's what a 'good lad' would want to do.
