Totally agree with this. Archer has been promising in pre season and looked a threat today. Imagine we'd want at least half of what we paid for him (so £7.5m) and as you say, not sure who's going to pay that for him.

You can be as forgiving as you want but the bloke was absolutely hopeless yet again. Horrendous footballer.

Most important player for sure. No one else could've had an impact like he has.

Amazing what happens when you've got a proper CF on the pitch.

Our pre season seemed very odd to me. A friendly against Eastleigh and a few against lower league German opposition.

Very worrying given we are a week away from Watford away. Should be 3-0 down to league two Colchester. Yikes.

Peretz, Bree, THB, Stephens, Manning, Downes, Bragg, Matsuki, Dobbin, Scienza, BBD. Glaring weakness is upfront and having to pick from BBD and Downs is laughable. Thankfully there's still a week left until the first league game for Larin to get up to speed.

Previously reported that it is 25% of profit on the last sale.

£26m would give us around £22.5m once you take off Man Citys sell on %.

He even admitted in a recent interview he was very emotional in the aftermath and needed a few days to calm down. He is clearly desperate to play in the Premier League and no doubt would've loved to do it with us. Anyway not really the topic of the thread.

I wasn't a fan of Tonda initially (like quite a few others) but he certainly won me round. He actually seemed to learn from mistakes he made earlier on in the season and clearly became very close with the players. You can't underestimate that. To say we didn't win or draw games because of the manager is up there with some of the biggest shite I've seen on this forum.

I reckon it was Scienza.

I'd certainly play a full strength side

There's a possibly Wilson Isidor might be available from Sunderland. That would a no brainer for us given his profile.

Tonda doesn't strike me as a "shouty type" during a match. I don't think a touchline ban would be much of a problem for us.
