Better Red

Get them both signed up

No. Although not signed a contract. 3 decent CB’s at this level. Maybe even go 3 at the back with Wingbacks - Mcorie and Pring/Roberts. Also Vyner could play RB feel he would be better than Tanner.

Roberts barley got over the half way line when he came in and we were chasing the game. No better or worse than Pring

No chance McCorie when ever he gets fit

If he would sign a 1 year contract it’s a no brainer. No fee, no loan fee and reduced wages sounds perfect. And we all know as long as stays fit would be a starter. Kalas and Dickie would be a pretty strong and experienced back 2. Would allow the full backs to bomb on something I have not seen yet.

The ‘truth’ is the public are just not as interested as the press would want everyone to believe. Its a massive opportunity for the press media to push the look at us we are equal in how we represent to women. Again that is ok it’s a new sport and needs pushing and they are doing a good job. I have not seen a flag on a car or any flags on houses etc. No one wearing shirts etc.. Pubs, supermarkets etc will not generate 5% of what the men getting to a WC final.But that is OK it’s a different sport at the moment. Will it get to the same level as the mens game - No I don’t think so but again that’s ok. The question is if winning the World Cup can’t grab the public imagination nothing will. Again that’s ok. At some point everyone just needs to except it’s always going to be second behind the mens game. Again it’s no surprise to anyone that’s the case. The financial returns will always be different again that’s Ok it’s market forces it’s not about equality. Its good for ‘Football’ overall that the womens game is developing. Lets have equality at every opportunity but also we have to temper that with market forces.

Great post. Also not really sure Cornick is a Striker really so that makes it look even worse. Most clubs would have at least 5 in that period. We have had Martin and Wells. Its because largely are scouting in shit. Brownhill, Webster in recent times you could say have been scouted and been players we have sold on to better things and not much else if the truth be known. Are net loss on signings outside those 2 over the past few years must be nothing short of a disaster. I would guess close to £30/35m + in signings out with no return.

Naismith as well add another 500/600k Thats getting closer to £7m plus signing on fees and like I say we have pretty much done the Seymenyo money. Club will bank circa £10m min from Scott to balance books. Plus BM will have paid say £15m upfront. That leaves maybe a few million max to reinvest if Nige is lucky.

£5m ? Nearer £10m with signing on fees etc… We have spent all the Seymenyo money already

I thought the game was fairly even. They had a bit more threat upfront and more shots on goal. Bell through the middle is actually mental. How anybody thinks that could work does not know football -Sorry Nige Cornick is never worth a start. Not sure what he actually is and I don’t think he knows. I would off load as a make in a deal for a Striker if possible. Today could be a good result if it brings a sense to the men upstairs. We need desperately someone with more physicality upfront who will make the oppositions CB work and think about what they need to do. No disrespect to Sam but they must have laughed when they saw he was playing through the middle. Creativity is a problem but that is a ‘special’ type of player that is not easy to find or recruit. But we do need something that means James and Williams don’t play together as to much of the same. I actually thought Knight was ok and not as bad as some have said. One or 2 players in could make a massive difference to this season.

We are short Keeper and possibly a CB. If Dickie got injured I think we are light. Same for Max. Could just loan a keeper if he thinks max is good enough (I not as convinced) All other positions we have a fair bit of cover. We have at least 3 if not 4 plus Conway who could play through the middle up front - we won’t get another Striker. Midfield we have at least 5 who could play in the middle three. Squad depth is the best we ever had. Maybe not the best 11 but the best squad for a very long time. They have been planning for Scott leaving and ‘paying transfer fees’ Despite the rumours I think we are pretty much done maybe 1 or 2 at best. Another midfielder would be good if they play in the 1st 11 rather than one for the future.

Tonight after the game

Up to 12 weeks

1 - 0 Cornick

Even if averaged £40k a week for 4 years plus a few bonuses is circa £10m before tax…..

Scott £20m+ The fee has been agreed. Medical now at Bournemouth. We are there feeder club….

We should name rename one the stands after Bournemouth. I make that circa £50m+ in last few years. All it with out a penny sell on to any other club. That’s just one club… Let’s hope NP can reinvest at least £5m of that.

We lack a player(without Scott) in the middle who can pick the ball up deep and run with the ball. Maybe Mehmeti could do that role. Has the pace ability on the ball - but can he find that pass at the right time and do the hard track back? Will need coaching. We def need someone to feel that gap with it without Scott - if he is injured needs a rest we will struggle unless we find someone to fill that role.

Hoping for a good season. Quietly optimistic we can challenge for 6 place. Squad looks pretty strong and lots of competition. Players Key to success this year Conway - Will he get 20+ Max - Will he be 1st GK by Jan Dickie - Stay fit & back to best Mehmeti - Does he deliver on the promise (gives us X factor) Knight - Will he give us that extra we need in midfield Also Scott if he stays. COYR

The kits all look very good I like the New Balance and Nike combo’s the best. I would buy both away kits. They make look both kits we have at the moment look embarrassing. Send those to the club. They should just give you the job to design them and then they could be put to a vote.

WOW Bakinson in the Weds team. They must be in trouble if he is the team. Its like playing with 10 men with him in their side. Saints could get 4 or 5 Laziest player I have ever seen play for city was a disgrace. How on earth is in the starting 11 for them

West Ham won’t pay £25m for Ward Prowse. I think can rule them out for Pring. They would be offering circa £3m - £5m at best based on that. I am sure we would value him at circa £10m Never going to happen Should be in Pring Chat

It’s a bit early to say that. We have barley seem him play. He looked ok but in fairness to him he was very young. Played a few games and was sub a few times. I am not saying he won’t make be a good player and hope he does Just not sure we can really say either way at this stage.

Conway miles in front of him Pring also better For that matter most of the rest of the squad…

4 Years. Goals - 0 Assists - 2 Says it all - did not really impact to many games. We all wanted him to be a successful. He got plenty of chances. Ran around a lot. Simply not good enough. Over rated because was young and French. Massive waste of Money - Thanks LJ and MA. Expensive gamble and looked a huge risk and it was…
