Do you know what our aims are for this season and what circumstances Ralph would likely leave i.e. only if we're in a relegation battle/sudden collapse in form like last season etc.? Not sure on overall aims, outside of ensuring we are clear of relegation, thats the overall ‘worry’ from last year… ‘something has to change, we cannot continue being inconsistent’ were the exact words As far as Ralph, no overall detail outside of the fact he has until a set point of this season to prove he is the man for the job, if we are failing at that point (around October) then we will back a new man in January…. I get the impression they want to keep him if possible Edited 9 July, 2022 by Smirking_Saint 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can only Loan one. I heard they want to sell CHO and Loan Broja, we want the other way around. So stalemate atm. And Chelsea using other clubs to increase the price for Broja. Supposedly will rumble on for a while. I do wonder if him being left off the chelsea tour means something has happened though.

sibster Posted 9 July, 2022 Share Posted 9 July, 2022 5 hours ago, Saint86 said: So you are saying that having an accent is Immediatley reliable evidence that someone supports a club from that region? I'm afraid that logic is rather flawed if applied to a vast tranche of football fans... Prince William in particular isn't well known for his strong brummie accent 😛 The accent comment is valid; I support Leeds Rhinos in rugby league (Due to family connections) and I constantly get people asking why I support them as I "Clearly don't come from Yorkshire with that accent". I'm thinking about having a leaflet printed to save me having to explain a few dozens times a game! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His time in Spain isn't worth considering one way or the other, he played 95 minutes total whilst there. The blokes consistently scored a goal every 2 to 3 games his entire career and scored 22 goals in 30 appearances last season, he'd be an absolute bargain at that price.

He hasn't done that. He hasnt stepped up from youth to senior yet. He's not stepped up yet. Not harsh. It's fact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also currently have Vokins (ok at 22 he's probably not got long left with us) and Jeremi Rodriguez as left backs on the books so he's not without young competition. Hopefully we can give him another cup game this season and see how his progress is getting on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
