The Prophet

Silverstone made some very fair points on the training kit, but you'd think with two CL qualifications in three years, I wonder if now would be a decent time to strike.

“In the summer I think people knew I wanted to move,” he told the Ben Foster's Fozcast podcast. “The club that I was close to going, it was a good fit for me. It was brilliant for me and I really believed in it. “I wanted to move, not just because I didn’t want to play in the Championship, I had no shame playing in the Championship. I have no ego to think I’m better than the Championship. You only prove something by performing and showing people. You can say whatever you want but unless you perform. “It was just when an opportunity and a situation you think suits you can happen, you should take it and you should try and go for it, so I wanted to move. It was close but it didn’t end up happening. “The manager was brilliant throughout pre-season. I wasn’t the best, I was moody because I’m young and I wanted to move, but in the moment I still worked extremely hard. “I knew the longer it went on, the reality became I would be playing the first game of the season and I wanted to play. I told the manager I’m available if he wanted to select me. If not, I’ll sit on the bench, but I’m available. He played me the first game and that was it.”

He is right, to be fair.

Baldwards furiously backtracking.

You'll be shocked to know Chelsea are sniffing.

Another good piece.

If the alternative was browsing through another TCD post storm, potentially.

Hypothetically, if City offered us Khusanov and McAtee for Tino, would you take it?

The social media team are grafting their fingers to the bone on this one. The thirst is real.

Supposed to be a very good player is that Guessand.

"We tried" is the absolute worse. Mainly because it hasn't been applicable since the takeover and its about as funny as hemorrhoids.

Still can't shake the feeling that Elanga will be our right wing signing. We were interested in him last summer. He's very Eddie Howe (dangerous in transitions, can go on his left or right, etc) Elanga has said Isak has already spoke to him about the move. It's not the most exciting name, but I think Howe would elevate his game.

Good thread.

The squad still needs a fair bit of surgery before we're capable of competing on multiple fronts.

I suppose it depends on how much "enough" is for him.

Hes not. He's crediting him with breaking the story, which was a while back.

Hope we dick Palace about for weeks on end, before keeping hold of him.

Pretty solid account tbf.

It seems the press know very little about our transfer plans this summer.

Juicy Dave is stepping down allegedly.

What's the true amount? The £250,000 came from the mainstream press and you tend to be quite leaky to be fair.
