Dastardly and Muttley

I don’t think you can base a recruitment strategy on “what if these guys get injured?” If they get injured, we’ll use youngsters to replace them. Yep, they’ll be a drop in quality but the youngster could step up. Three alternatives to this approach: 1: sign a first-team quality player to sit on the bench. Would cost a fee and wages. 2: replace our starting strikers and keeper with someone better. If you’re going to spend, why not upgrade? Costs money though. 3. Get a loan player in as back up. Pearson doesn’t seem to like developing other teams’ players though, and these deals often require playing time guarantees. In our current position, going with what we’ve got seems quite sensible unless we can upgrade at an affordable price.

Here we go…

He’s just signed a new contract at Maidenhead. Fans weren’t best pleased.

Got a few contacts here at Maidenhead - they’re due 20% of any Max Kilman sale. Huge number for them if he goes for £35m.

Man City stepping it up… (for Rice, that is) https://twitter.com/skysportsnews/status/1671984212541427714?s=46

Not a chance he’ll be here in August. Too many rumours swirling already.

Man City about to bid for Rice. Still think West Ham is Scott’s most likely destination.

Only 8? That’s not enough depth for Ashton. He’ll buy at least another three.

He’ll also see the pathway. Bryan, Reid, Webster, Kelly, Semenyo, Scott… all given the opportunities to progress their careers.

Because MacAllister had a release clause.

Signing a 1 year deal with Huddersfield… Interesting move. https://twitter.com/matthughesdm/status/1666348599863541761?s=46

I’m a bit surprised that we’re not seeing more concrete links around Scott. The Prem season has finished. He’s back from the WC. Probably on holiday now, admittedly, but as other deals begin to get done it’s surprising that the race hasn’t really started.

Not so sure, unless they change their name to Luton Town.

I work with a born and bred Wrexham fan here in Slough. ST holder who’s been going for years. He made a point that Ryan and Rob have bought normality in Wrexham. They’re both looking at owning houses in the area and are treated as locals when they’re in the town. Yes, everyone knows who they are, but what they’ve done for the community and the way they’ve integrated has been special. I still wanted Notts County to beat though.

Would blow the tents over.

No way. I’m still convinced Pulis and Lindsey Parsons deliberately mismanaged us due to the sag connections.

Worst Fonts since Liam.

As per the title. Very sad news. Thoughts with his family.

I’ve asked them for proof on their Twitter - no reply yet. Must have some idea, though, to accuse us. You’d think, anyway.

Allegedly, a replica World Cup trophy was stolen by City fans from Sunderland’s Fans Museum. Let’s get it back to them. Anyone know these muppets? (Even if “MarkaMackem could have been a bit calmer ?)

Imagine if they’d waited this long, then tweeted an image of the Luton website saying “Thanks for telling us.”

Have they told us?

Let me guess, Cor, in the Nick of time.
