I know we are biased and it doesn't often work out but given the choice between being a squad player somewhere like Everton or the star player in a team where I'm settled and where we have an excellent chance of promotion I would genuinely be tempted by it. He seems like the type of personality who would enjoy that. Given imo it's likely that Peretz, Bree, manning, Stephens, fellows, Matsuki, Stewart, Larin, Azaz are going to be here. If they have the correct mentality that isn't something I'd want to miss out on.

I think Charles might go and possibly Jander but I do wonder if we can persuade the others for one year

Fuck it. Just keep all the players and sign no one this summer.

Larin at 12?

I reckon Dragan is personally aggrieved and will want to go up with Tonda to prove a point.

Not if you have a narrative to overturn and season tickets to sell.

I just have a feeling we will see Bree contract extension, Larin signing and Stewart before the end of the day. Retained list out and then season tickets early next week.

It's very early in the summer and he is a quality keeper. The option to sign with us was with Bayern not him so he had to say yes. I think we have seen that his ability is above this league.

I expect we just have the one captain at the moment but when Kelvin was here we made him club captain I believe?

Surely Ramsdale is an easy pick up for one of the promoted clubs. Could see him at Hull or Ipswich easily.

The other thing this signing does is show that the manager and the club is now one that people would want to play for. Peretz will have had serious superior options and still chose to sign for us. That bodes very well for this summer even when we will lose two or three.

They could make Jack club captain like they did with Kelvin.

Good. Players are probably as pissed off with the disproportionate punishment as we all are.

Larin?

This is probably our most important signing in a long time. Not only is he probably the best keeper in the league, he has a claiming effect on those around him. Our entire defence will be better by his presence. How could the likes of Bree not want to sign on again and enjoy that?

Absolutely tremendous and not something I thought would happen (and certainly not this early in the summer.) If we can persuade THB to stay too then we will most likely have the best gk and CB in the league. Larin and Stewart if they sign up are a top strike force for the championship, fellows with a proper Pre season and Matsuki are top wingers. Lets hope Azaz and Downes stay and I'd say that if Tonda is still here we will be one of the favourites for promotion.

I reckon Stewart too given we posted about him earlier this week.

Oh I'm sure we will bring in a cm and CB in that scenario. I'm still crossing my fingers that we make THB captain and he gives us one more year.

Yep. Peretz Bree Stephens Wood Manning Matsuki Downes Bragg Edozie Azaz Stewart/Larin Is still a damn good championship team. You never know we could even keep one of THB, Scienza or Jander which would be even better.

We dint even know if they were spoken to by the manager about it.

I think there's a rather obvious reason it's been leaked.

The same reason why west ham signed Fernandes. Not that I want any of their players.

Signing Peretz has the added bonus of upsetting the mentalist who hate the Joos.

I'd consider him as an Archer replacement. Stewart and Larin will be rotated, leaving Ballard as another option. Would probably make a small profit signing him and selling Archer.

Wasnt there an interview on social media where his Dad said earlier in the year that he would be signing for us?
