Perhaps, but, playing devil's advocate a little, doesn't sending Martin out on loan suggest that Seaborne is higher in the pecking order than him? Why not send Seaborne on loan or leave him with the development squad and take Martin to preseason until a replacement is brought in?

Why is he featuring in every preseason game then? If he was never going to play for us again he'd be with the u21s with Barnard, Forte and Dickson.

Adkins categorically stated that we will be signing at least 1 if not 2 CBs.

I still can't believe they are seriously trialling a player called 'must have a dumb buyer'!

Check out the YouTube video if you haven't seen it. Distribution looks ridiculously good.

Good stuff.

Where as we had a spring in our step.

Anyone know how far into their preseason Evian are?

Good stuff. How great it'll be to have the option of a commanding keeper with great distribution.

Video of him when he played for AZ:

In other words 'we know what we think he's worth, make us an offer that matches that and he's yours'.

Agreed, and I'm sure we won't have gone straight in with our biggest offer or indeed have expected our first offer to be accepted.

May be just a dodgy translation but the 'first offer of the hand' comment perhaps suggests that this is the first move in a negotiation. I.e we've shown our hand, now it's their turn to move.

Sign him up! Good to see Adkins definitively stating that we will be adding more to the group.

We know Adkins told Buttner he wanted an attacking full back, and Clyne certainly is that. Perhaps we might see a 5-3-2 with the wing backs providing the width and 3 in CM?

Cool, cheers. Looks like it's just a problem with the direct debits on instalments then.

Out of interest, did you opt to pay by instalments?

'Can you drink on the coaches?' is the real question!

'It lies on the coast, half an hour from London by Steve De Ridder' - He's quick, but I'm not sure he has the stamina to get all the way to London with someone on his back!

Probably means that the payments will start next month and go on for another month after the original planned last date.

Won't believe it 'til it's on the OS. Really hope so though.

Just spoken to someone at the ticket office again, with regards to 2 new season tickets and not having received any forms or contact. Was again told that there has been a problem between the club and the banks, apparently the direct debit details of customers have not transferred properly. The lady said that there would be a letter sent out 'within the next couple of days (was told the same on Saturday) and that the season tickets are secured. She also mentioned that there would not be any months were people had to pay 2 installments and that if this was the case the installments would just be paid back over more months. Seems there has been a bit of a cock up anyway.

Hahaha!! 'F*ck you and f*ck this place'

Really??

May tie in with the 'problem with the banks' that the woman at the ticket office told me Saturday.
