Not sure if mentioned elsewhere or even if true but I heard Kalas is out for 6 months?

This is the biggest surprise. No longer talking of Vyner needing to be replaced in the line up!

With the last two performances you’d be forgiven for forgetting we’ve got Semenyo still to come back

To a man! HNM please sign a new contract

Charles Martin won a title…

AJs career has been a huge myth, made to look better by fighting mediocre boxers. Hearn tried to big him up with his record but apart from Parker and Povetkin the rest were nobodies and has beens. Even lost to Ruiz which was literally the biggest embarrassment in heavyweight boxing. The second he thought someone with any ability he got bullied for probably 21/22 rounds over the two fights.

Interviewer: so a lack of consistency? Nige: No, they are consistently shit! Power phrasing a little but I did like that comment

The fact his “best” was at city is all you need to know! His attitude and work ethic outweighed the good he done. Might have scored a couple, but also responsible for the team having to play like we had 10 men when he was on the pitch. There is a reason why his career never peaked higher than bang average league 1 and it wasn’t his ability that was clear to see. It was everything else that went alongside it.

Christ, forgot this bloke existed already!

Westbrooke was linked with us a few seasons ago when at Coventry. When he signed for the blue few I thought that was quite a coup for them. Clearly not!

Ah, I thought he signed in the January on loan. Guessing I’m getting my seasons mixed up. Was it… Palmer loan Jan Szmodics perm summer Palmer perm summer?

He was already out of the picture by the time we signed Palmer though wasn’t he?

From memory, I could be wrong, he started most pre season games and seemed to do ok. Once the season started he didn’t get a look in. If effort in training was such an issue why did play so much in pre season? And you say clearly didn’t do enough. Was that ever confirmed?

Will never understand how he wasn’t given a chance at this club

Surely with HNM if he isn’t going to sign a contract and will run down the last year with minimal playing time then it’s best to cash in now? And I don’t mean £6m, more like £1m-£2m with a sell on fee and also saving in his wages

Correct me if I’m wrong but were they not on the brink of financial ruin? Yet somehow are managing to signing everyone they want? Bayern manager has mentioned this also. How is this possible???

I believe the assumption is he is flying out to Austria

Not only is it great to see him scoring but with a header as well. Arguably one of the biggest weaknesses of his from what I have seen. Doesn’t get as many of the plaudits as he doesn’t play for a premier league team but he has looked a level above most in this tournament.

We have sellable assets in HNM, Scott, Semenyo. Obviously we wouldn’t want to but should we need to and sell Themis transfer window, would that go against the numbers? Or are the finances as of a fixed date so even selling this transfer window wouldn’t help avoid a points deduction? What would be worse from our perspective? A 10 point deduction or losing one of our prized assets?

Didn’t MacGregor all but confirmed this signing a few days ago? Not saying that guarantees anything but a positive sign nonetheless

Don’t have an Avon Gorge Hotel in Coventry by any chance do they?

He would be an exciting signing, but we also thought that about the young keeper we signed from Bayern a few years ago. I guess we will see one way or another.

I can’t see us directly replacing a keeper of Bentley’s calibre with a relatively untried 20 year old. It’s not unheard of by any means, just look at the Leeds keeper. But I’d be surprised if he came straight in as number 1.

Wasn’t there a few grumbles when Nige said we’d have to be dealing in the free transfer market this summer as there was little money to spend. We seem to be doing alright out of it it would seem.

I think we all know who his one decent, 90 min performance per season will come against…
