Well if there’s anywhere in the world to learn about pace and acceleration, it’s there.

A decent player for us but bearing in mind we're going to need at least one big sale this summer, I'd prefer it was him. With Downes, Jander and Bragg we have three other decent options so this wont leave us with a gaping hole in the team. We can still fight for the autos with a fairly cheap/loan replacement.

If we did that then a very large number of people on here would be sarcastically talking about how we can't wait to sell our best players as cheaply and as soon as possible. If we can stop squabbling over £1m and just get it done, then so can any team wanting to buy. The only difference is he's our player, any we don't want to sell him at all, unless we get an agreeable deal.

I've not really been following the 16.4 but I've just seen SR Leeds posted 241 today, which is just a ludicrous score for 100 balls.

They seem to get released at two week intervals on a Thursday, so expect the away kit in a couple of days. A dark blue away kit isn’t going to be used for a trip to Colchester anyway.

They were all decent but for me the only definite in the XI from those four is Bednarek. KWP, probably just edges it but Bree was phenomenal when he came back from Charlton and arguably stronger defensively. Larin probably edges Adams, again only just. Brooks came here to regain match fitness and for me he doesn't get in ahead of Azaz. I'd probably go with something like: Peretz KWP THB Bednarek Manning Downes Jander/Charles A. Armstrong Azaz Scienza Larin Subs: Bazunu, Bree, Stephens, Charles/Jander, S. Armstrong, Brooks, Adams, Fellows, Stewart

I wouldn't say Martin had much worse players really. Tonda had a better GK and strikers to choose from, plus Scienza obviously but the rest of the squad was fairly evenly matched. Both periods were thoroughly enjoyable IMO, I've no idea why anybody would want to undermine what Tonda did.

I got a fair bit of kit for about 30-50% off in the second half of last season, including two matchday shirts and a couple of pairs of jogging bottoms from the travel section. Also picked up three pairs of shorts for £5 each after the playoffs, just for general gym use.

Ruling out signing Zan Vipotnik is not negative. He is not signing for another Championship team. As for the sales mentioned, we need to balance the books and the amount of transfer income required reportedly runs into the tens of millions, that’s on top of the outlay for Latin, Peretz and Dobbin. Any further spending is likely to be on cheaper replacements for the likes of Charles and THB, if they leave.

That ‘Boro’ don’t have an issue, beyond the stuff a bunch of nobodies are posting on an internet message board. The actual club aren’t pressing for any kind of action against Tonda, unless I’ve missed something.

He isn’t coming here and we can’t afford him.

Every club has delusional moon howlers spouting partisan nonsense on internet forums, I can’t say I’d pay any attention to that.

Do they have an issue? I’ve not actually seen anything reported.

So.... not randomly?

Well I wont believe it for certain until I see him kissing the badge on his shirt.
