  1. Enjoyed that.. its rare for an article to be written for us that actually understands our recent history.
  2. Pring has an option too so technically he's with us till 2025. Vyner has one year left though as it stands.
  3. Hes 6ft according to transfermarkt.
  4. Been playing at Derby. They were hoping to sign him up after his loan spell... https://dcfcfans.uk/topic/39915-haydon-roberts/page/7/#comments
  5. I'm confused why you believe one report over the other. You call one a complete lie but then completely accept the other without question. Only the clubs will know for sure the rest is speculation at both sides.
  6. My main reason I believe this 'may' be true is because @Bcfcshags said he heard it was done. He's been bang on in the past on match days knowing the match day team before its been released so he clearly knows someone. Since this BP have also confirmed our interest. If it doesn't happen I'm not going to mad at this poster as all they said was they heard it was done and passed it on. However if it is done, we are likely just waiting for Fulham to release their retained list as he's still their player or waiting for Joe to come back from a holiday..
  7. Isn't that what you are doing though. You are implying they are bullshitting too with no idea.
  8. Cotts going too by the looks of it.. https://www.shropshirestar.com/sport/football/shrewsbury-town-fc/2023/06/01/steve-cotterill-set-to-leave-shrewsbury-town/
  9. Blimey, the transfer market isn't run like a DFS sale. Get in early and make the most savings. Teams are still playing football who we are reportedly buying from. I think we have deals already sewn up and due to respect for their current clubs we haven't announced them to fans. Other deals are probably ongoing with clubs and others further in discussion with players/agents returning from holidays and evaluating their options. I'm actually really looking forward to our business as I think we've done the hard bit and released/sold big earners and now have a clean slate to make solid additions within our new wage structure.
  10. Think this sounds overly bitter if I'm honest. Whether their wages have gone up or not they likely still have one of the lowest wage budgets in the Championship. They haven't played O'Hare because he got an ACL after a contract extension last year. You talk about all championship clubs having to make cut backs to wages then assume Jay will be on more than Bidwell without knowing anything. On the point on them not selling Gykores prior to having only a year on his contract, maybe they thought they had enough quality in their team to challenge for promotion instead and whether you think they were lucky to be in the play offs or not it nearly paid off for them.
  11. No flag but congrats on the new gaff.
  12. Just a lazy written article. Trying to create parallels of two separate transfers. One where we pinch their inform striker at the time activating his release clause and a player who served us well but we paid up his contract mid season and he's played elsewhere for the remainder. If it works for Chris good on him. Just shows the difference in levels if they do decide to snap him up.
  13. End of June. Also I've just never seen it happen myself, I'm sure it has happened before I just can't recall one.
  14. Can we even announce Bryan as a signing when he's on loan with Nice with games to play and still contracted to Fulham?
  15. I see it differently. You can't dwell on the past. I'm sure there are other clubs who have headed in the other direction. I think its a positive to see one of two smaller budget clubs on the cusp of prem football in the place of the usual PP funded clubs that bounce back and forth. It's motivation for our club to get things right like Luton and Coventry and I think we are on an upward curve so let's hope we can eventually do the same.
  16. I always never understand two things when this happens, firstly why would an already wealthy football player take the risk in the first place. Also how does the player get caught. Surely their not betting on their own account?
  17. Same seems like a waste of money/time if the intention is to build a new stadium.
  18. I do agree but I guarantee we were also paying the best wages in the league at that time.
  19. Looks like Cole Skuse is heading into management. https://www.isthmian.co.uk/former-colchester-man-takes-the-reins-at-bury-town-76084
  20. Is this Aberdeens replacement for McCrorie? https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/nicky-devlin-close-aberdeen-transfer-29958430
  21. Think your trying to work out a question you can't possibly answer, both cases are completely independent of each other. It could be a mixture of better coaching or Vyner himself or its just clicked. The only person who could answer this is Zak. Going from his interview after getting his award recently, he said it was due to him 'growing up' and been able to express himself in a role that suits him. I think from this the consistency in being played at CB has worked wonders for his confidence and he and us are seeing the results. Credit to him and Nigel for having the confidence to play him. My personal opinion is that he wasn't physical enough to play centre back before the last couple of seasons and thats why he's bounced around between midfield and RB because he had the ability but now has the physicality to play in his proper position. Whatever it is he's done really well and hope it continues!
  22. I'm actually positive about Alex leaving. We picked him up from Guernsey as a 16 year old lad for nothing. Developed his natural ability whilst he's been here, he's had two brilliant seasons for us on the pitch. Now we'll pick up a huge fee to push our squad on further and helped changed his life at the same time. Wish him all the best and hope he smashes it in the PL.
  23. Don't think professional athletes think like that. No problem with being realistic but I'm sure Alex will jump at the chance to try and compete for a place in a PL team straight away. He's got two seasons of Championship experience and excelled so far.
