Not a fan of ‘GARMIN’ being vertical not horizontal on the sleeve, looks a bid odd to me. Otherwise a decent brand and simple text logo is better than most sleeve sponsors.

No live updates according to Alfie:

Do we really need another CB?

Gillingham, Valciennes and Espanyol behind closed doors. Then Brighton at St Mary’s.

He’s not really being tested but Quarshie looks absolutely huge.

We look better this half, Robinson has impressed which is great to see. He might be a real option this season on that left hand side.

Medical emergency stops play, all too often these days.

Suggests their offer will be close to our £25m valuation and that in principle he has confirmed he would be willing to move to the north east.

This is a good analysis of why Jack isn’t what we need at PL level. By all accounts he did very well at Bournemouth on loan , whilst our alternatives failed us. I maintain he’s good enough to play for us at Championship level and if this new contract is on lower terms it might financially just make sense to extend by 2 years rather than 1. Valid question if we needed to extend at all, but by doing so his wages might be lower for our finances this year. When/if we get promoted, we need to be starting a much better quality of player to give us any hope.

Hope the surgery went well and your recovery is quick!

That’s lovely.

Think we are playing Eastleigh, Valenciennes, Gillingham, Espanyol and Brighton. Middle three all BCD.

Could be a loan, as Dragan suggested we are looking at options to allow him to come back if we go up.

Reading through the replies with translation and pretty much all are unhappy to see him go and wishing him well. Usually a good sign when the fans of their former team hold them in high regard.
