Summer window

Does Mrs Smug know this

They have released some decent stuff lately to be honest

 

Yeah, she'll be there.

The group are on tour so she's catching up with people.

Her husband is Mick Box ...

... she says he's a bit of a square

 

I can see the sense in that. To be honest, I was thinking from a coaching perspective, which player is most replacable if we had a plan to sell one this summer and it was Patto. Keepers do have a long shelf life, and bring in someone 32 or so would be no bad thing, particularly when you look at our academy keepers.

The flip side is the player wanting to go. Keepers of course know they dont often become first team regulars until they are older. Why go somewhere and be a number 2, which is what in all likelihood would happen. Prem managers arent empowered to give young keepers freedom to learn, we can. Patto would know he is leaving a rapid learning environment to a slower one. This makes the flip side being he is likely to be the young lad in our squad with least motivation to move.

Who knows what will happen. My guess would be he stays, and that we are 1 year ahead of schedule still and the plan to sell one is next year not this one. Unless they see a big fee coming in allows them to push faster on value of incomings, seems unlikely though with wages being they key factor in FFP really.

 

Aye I’ll never fall for his tweets ever again

 

Why would O'Nien want to join a club like Luton?

 

Nicking them from Scotland as well...

 

Doesn’t matter how many star players they bribe to play over there, I’ll not watch Saudi football.

 

A Band I was playing in whilst in Germany were on tour with a Band called Lucifer’s Friend (about 1981) and their singer was John Lawton who was previously the singer in Uriah Heep. John was from our area and I got on really well with him. He’s sadly left us a few years ago.

My other (very) tenuous connection to Uriah Heep was that when I joined the Army in 1967, the drummer (Nigel Olssen) who then took my place in a Band called The Enterprise also played for Uriah Heep a few years later.

Oh, and finally, another Band I played in done a Heep song called Easy Livin’

So there’s 3 conversation trivia if you talk to Mick Box.

 

"contract and personal terms agreed 5 years ago"

 

1 - Premier League
2 - potential pay increase
3 - live in home town

 

Unless we want rid...not happening.

 

I care more about our big players who have now agreed to stay and signed on the dotted line.

 

I'll be recanting all these stories on Saturday, I'll report back.

 

The name I've been given is Nathan Bishop from Man U

 

Little chance of a starting place at Sunderland?

 

Also , some serious toliet getting spewed on this thread.

 

Could be, my son watched him at Mansfield and said he has real potential with proper coaching.

 

In which way.

 

As in the comments that deserved to be flushed.

 

Which ones.
