Fair play to him for scoring but he is a poor footballer. A goal in a pre season friendly is not going to change my opinion of him.

Lol he beats the keeper with a touch that was supposed to go in the opposite direction, then beats the defender with an inadvertent touch onto himself.

Archer looks pretty sharp so far in pre season. Might be in the minority but I'd keep him.

Dobbin the standout for me so far

Charles wants to leave and he only has 1 (2) years left on his contract. I also like him a lot but we've got to be realistic. If we can hold out for £25m plus £5m add ons then that's a decent deal for us.

Well yes but we knew that was going to happen, because Tonda admitted to breaking the rules.

Dibaga is/was badly injured

Plus we know they've just got £85m for Fernandes.

Home kit is decent enough. Keeper kits very nice. Potential away shirt is horrendous.

So Middlesbrough were laughing about it all until they realised they could use it to their advantage 🙄

Probably more likely an Archer replacement tbh. Downs doesn't need replacing because he didn't even exist even when he played. Larin, Azon plus another (Lankshear?) and I'd be happy with that as striking options.

Totally agree with this

I'd certainly have him back as cover. Not as a starter though.

Yeah he pretty much said that it's very difficult for us to keep players who are well into their contracts (clearly referring to THB and Charles). Both will go. Then said we've got more leverage with the other players due to just having bought them (presuming Scienza and Jander)

Surely we've got to give Fellows another season.

Struijk is joining Brighton for £20m. Maybe with a bit of extra cash Leeds will up their offer for Charles.

Solid signing that. Was very good for Sunderland when they went up, not quite as good for Ipswich last season (according to their fans) but still. Guessing that's the replacement for Charles.

No chance Charles stays.

He could be a decent enough replacement for Stewart. Similar build, both good finishers. Not at that price though.

I'd take him but not sure he'd want to be second choice and this stage in his career.

I'm not sure he is proper premier league class myself. I think he got found out a little bit towards the end of the season. He's a great player at this level but I don't think premier league sides will be queuing up to sign him.

This is getting ridiculous now

Here we go again with the JWP links. Funny how Blackmore claims JWP "can get the ball forward quickly" out of everything that's the thing he does the least! Wouldn't mind him as a loan to cover Jander or Charles (whichever one doesn't leave) but that's about it.

I'm not so sure it's a foregone conclusion as you're suggesting. The club has already been very heavily punished and we supposedly have some very good lawyers on the case in regards to the FA investigation.

The only side I could see signing him would be Hull. But then they've got McBurnie, so it's doubtful. More likely another top championship side or possibly Scotland.
