Do you have any sort of opinion then?

Boruc

Yep, very much filed in the scrap heap.

Obviously you're far more up on french footie than most of us...! What sort of CB is he? better than what we have? or just one for the future?

lol @ the over-reactions as normal. Seriously, people, go and have a holiday or something.

Let's judge a player on one game.

I think the PS4 is a clear winner here, the fact that it's cheaper allows them to win hands down in my opinion. Technically the console is much much better. At the end of the day, the pitch for the XBOX was all about having a home media centre. What if I already have one? What if I already have a smart TV? It renders all those ''big'' features utterly pointless and not worth paying the money for. The PS4 have got it right in terms of gaming, at the end of the day...that's what this is for.

I personally think he will make more of an impact next year, not necessarily from the start, but I see him turning into a bit of a game-changing sub for us. He'd be a class loan for any championship side though, and if it comes to that, we'd be able to get him regular games pretty easily.

I'm very pleased that Shaw didn't end up with this rabble. Awful disorganized mess.

For some odd reason I've been rejected for the Zebra finance deal, even though I had the installment plan last year and I'm in a slightly better financial position this year. Weird. Will have to call them to clarify.

Pre-season is usually about 6 weeks, would imagine things will kick into life pre-season style early July.

Why haven't we signed anyone yet FFS? We don't even know who we're playing next year, but we sitll haven't signed anyone FFS! good comedy posts i've just caught up on for today. Back on topic, Douglas is a good shout - although correct me if I'm wrong, is he a bit injury prone? He was close to WHU last summer, but they went with James Collins instead......might be thinking of someone else though, but there's obviously a reason they've not renewed his contract...as he's not a bad player.

Firstly, why would they sell him, and secondly, why on earth would he even consider coming to us? He'd have the biggest clubs in world football at his finger tips. We wouldn't even calculate in his brain.

One of the best young players in the world, basically. All the top clubs want him. City, United, Madrid, Barca - all been scouting him regularly.

If Lamela signs I will streak at St Mary's.

Same! Much better stuff to watch on TV tonight than this! Good to see you back btw..

Looks like a classic Stuart Pearce performance so far. i.e ****.

Imagine there are also a hell of a lot of players who are told they are free to look for another club (Chaplow/Hammond/Sharp/De Ridder/Barnard) to name but a few, I reckon we'll see a few mutual terminations this year as well. We've got so much deadwood in this squad, mainly because we've progressed so quickly, players bought a year or so ago to do a job are now never going to get a look in! Doesn't mean they're bad players...just not for our level anymore.

Not sure why people are surprised by Reeves. Decent player, but he's over 20 now and if he was going to make it in the PL with us, eh'd have needed to make more of an impact here...and at the club's he's been on loan at. He'll be a star in L2 if played regular, can see him going there.

If we were in the NPC, I'd agree. But he would add absolutely nothing to us, we'd basically be signing a worse option than Cork/Morgan and Davis. Not saying he's a bad player, but he's not at the level we're aspiring to be at.

Glen Johnson is simply tosh.

Even if they've made an offer, i doubt he'd accept it. No idea what they're able to offer that we can't, unless he is really caught up on CL football.

Man, that's sad news. RIP Ron.

No Zaha, Phillips will retire and Murray is out for at least half of next year. They need a hell of a lot of additions to stand a smidgen of a chance.
