Levi’s for the slightly larger gentleman!

@Curr Avonthis us why Patrick Roberts wasn’t on my list of Sunderland “leavers”. In my notes I had his contract as “Sunderland have first refusal”. Looks like they took that up. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61937332

My thoughts too.

Indeed, however his success rate stats (not the be all and end all) were the worst in the Championship! There were times when he tried more impossible balls through the eye of a needle than Palmer. Commendable but not conducive to building decent attacks, especially then when possession is ceded he shows little capability to do his job defensively. Gut feel is he’s not on huge wages. Signed a 3+1 deal in May 2019 aged 20, so I doubt he commanded silly money then. The gamble hasn’t worked, but as you say it wasn’t a “new deal”, just a chance to see if we could eke a fee out of someone, or that he might buckle down and make it here. Someone will take him, either permanently or on loan, and I suspect most if not all of his wages will be covered, so I suspect any loss be tinsy-winsy. Amortisation-wise, virtually all of his fee to Luton has been “sunk”, so very different to someone like Palmer.

Good to bounce off of you Neil.

More Biggus Dickus ???

Are you mistaking me for being an SL fanboy? If so, you’ve not been reading my posts.

SMH

Interview on BBCRB, Nige basically saying Bakes won’t be in the squad this season (paraphrased).

Also hinted the scan for Semenyo might be more positive than they thought, but not getting hopes up…(paraphrased)

Can only assume with 2 other first team games earlier that day, this will be an u23 / Academy game.

Sky League Cup games yesterday Derby v Mansfield today: Derby v Mansfield

Not sure how to link the full interview, but it’s on Bristol Sounds…hope this link works. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0c9y3t3 Thought the club interview earlier this week was a bit “meh”, but I enjoyed this one. Nige sounds very happy with where the squad is.

I really like that. Very, very, very tempted.

The 35 related to in the old days as a pro footballer you could take your pension. That changed a while back. I think I replied to your post earlier with a link.

The Bristol Flyers clothing is great quality, so disappointing to read this….I liked the look of “coordinates” tee.

Yep, I’m aware of that too.

Scotty Murray is the right person…he is so good at sorting out these little things.

5 weeks to get out of admin, or else there’s another points deduction isn’t there???

Great post

Good luck to him….honestly didn’t think it would get sorted.

If we were to play a more 352, than 3412 early season, due to WSM missing S, I think perming 3 of the following 5 gives us a decent midfield - Williams, James, Massengo, Scott and Sykes.

Couldn’t agree more @chinapig

Naismith, Kalas, Moore, Bakinson have all been at the RHPC this week, but haven’t necessarily made it into footage. Benarous spotted doing rehab.
