We’ve brought in some crap players over the years. Mebude isn’t Diony one.

I guess if he's excluded from the squad then he is lone-d out?

Thankfully no, so the memory isn’t sullied. That was Byker Grove

Crap system really. I can’t currently buy a seat anywhere in the ground

But you could yesterday. To recap - Up until 12 yesterday you could move your seat to any seat in the stadium (not SS) that wasn’t held for an existing ST holder. They have now reset the system and removed the holds for existing ST holders, releasing their seats, which will be available (in addition to all other seats which weren’t held) from 10am

As would I, but as a bit of devils advocate here if he wasn’t one of our own would we be so bullish? The fact is that if you take out the penalties Tommys scoring record this season has been pretty poor (debate/discuss the reasons why) and there is an argument he’s regressed. I don’t think a Scotland U21 cap adds any real value so if we were looking at a player who say, played for Stoke and had Tommys record this season pre penalties would it be a deal many of us would be that keen on? (FWIW I do think he’ll have suitors, I do think he’ll go but in view of the above I’m not sure we’re getting top dollar, particularly at this contract stage)

I’m sure the 3 teams that come down from the Premier League and a few of the top teams in this division that don’t go up will be interested in him. That would be a good step forward for him, a low fee for them and he’d probably double his wages. I would guess that teams like that are waiting to see what league they are in before offering him anything formal. There are bound to have been conversations.

Strangely it appears you can’t until 10am

While it does seem a pointless loan , not sure that Yeboah being involved in 8 games and scoring twice is worse than being sat on the bench and hoping for the odd minute here and there. I think being in and around a promotion push in mens football will help him grow.

Bit harsh, but not totally wrong I guess. He's still only 17 and I don't think he's been available for every game there due to the U18 Cup run ( at least Transfermarkt has him not in some squads so I'm assuming ). The bit's I've seen he's not looked out of place , but it is his first sort of run in mens football. He will be available for a League loan next season , that will be interesting .

Could just be a confidence thing with Yeboah. He was in and around the squad, getting minutes off the bench, and is then farmed out to non league to make room for a loan signing who never plays. Can’t be doing him good mentally. This is the other side of the disastrous signing of Mbude. Whoever had the final say has dropped a bollock here.

I’d also guess that they haven’t reset the system as yet and this seasons ST seats remain classed as “sold” prior to today to ensure that people don’t transfer into them, so probably a futile exercise all round.

Because essentially the thread isn’t about him specifically but more around the due diligence process followed in the signing, whether we’re damaging his career, the possible reasons he’s got a season ticket for the bench but doesn’t touch the pitch and then a bizarre detour into a poster feeling a touch precious about facepalms. If it was 9 pages on the performance against QPR I agree it would be very bizarre!

People were hailing him as a super star when he first came into our team. Shows how temperamental early player exposure can be in a first team. Clearly has some talent but letting himself down. Hopefully he turns it round eventually.

How has a player who has played less than 90 minutes for us got a 9 page post

£3 million tops. Personally would keep him and let his contract run down. It will cost that to replace him, with transfer fee, wages, agent fees

As Graham C has pointed out, you can do that anytime. Just chose a seat in another stand and buy that instead of renewing your current seat.

He's still ours until the end of next season, so he's going for a fee if he leaves. That being said we still have 14 months left to get him pension to paper so maybe he just wants to look at his options over the summer. What do you think he's worth in the last year of his contract ?

Obviously not good enough at the moment which makes it strange how he ever made our 1st team squad in the first place seeing as he can’t make the starting 11 of a sixth tier team !!!!

Should be able to do it from 10 today

Noticed you've found your log in details..

Due to Manning only playing one forward and continually subbing Tommy off in games it must be very frustrating for him. He probably feels frustrated and undervalued.

He’ll have seen his international ambitions stalled by this season’s calamity and probably already has rumblings of interest from other clubs that will get a tune out of him. Can’t imagine him signing a deal, though I’d love it if he did.
