Summer window

From that it sounds like it would be him or Aravena rather than both as they sound fairly similar. Would you agree with that or could the compliment each other and the squad if both still signed do you reckon?

 

Aye i think it would be 1 or the other, due their versatility we could sign both but i reckon its 1 or the other

 

I’m not going to lie, on what little I’ve seen/read of them both I’m going to be routing for Aravena in that case - he looks exceptional to me.

I obviously won’t be too upset if it’s Rusyn though.

 

Looks like we are in for the Rennes forward on loan

 

Him n 1 of the other lads would give us better balance

 

Both look really good tbf, i do think Aravena has higher potential tho

 

Regarding Aravena…

 

I don't agree with any kid moving the length of the country for football to be honest, it's just not right

As far as keepers at this club go though, I can see why younger ones might be looking elsewhere.

Patterson is 23 and he could be our number 1 for a decade.

Then we have Adam Richardson who is 19, signed a long term contract and by all accounts, the club rate him even higher than they did Patterson at the same age.

Then we've just seen 16 year old Matthew Young showing in pre-season that he may be the most promising of them all.

It's very unlikely, but we may not need to sign a first choice keeper for 20 years.

 

Weird, asterisked should have read get shot!( obviously a typo)

 

I can’t disagree with any of that mate. The only good side to losing talented players (and their representatives) who follow the money is that it confirms they haven’t got the attitude that we want.

The waste of talented young footballers is criminal. If half of them got opportunities at lower league clubs, while still young, it would do them and football in general the world of good.

 

Just got to look at Rigg, could have gone to the mags yet decided to stay with us because he knows that it will benefit his development, he's already around the first team and will play games next season, with any luck he'll be playing PL next season, within another 2 years if he carries on developing the way he is the top clubs could be paying mega bucks for him.
Had he left for the mags or any of the top 6 I believe he would be no where near the first team in 4 years.
This is nothing to do with his ability it's all down to making sure you get the right development.

 

Pritchard is usually top class until he runs out of steam at about 55 minutes.
Now that we can have 9 subs to choose from I would keep him to either start and be subbed early second half or to come on as a sub at about 60 minutes.
He definitely has another good season in him.

 

Heard my 1st ever itk info today.
Apparently Embo has been lined up to join Jerusalem next summer on £70k pw. No idea if theres any truth in this but my best Mate works with his dad and he told him this earlier this week.

 

I've never got the Pritchard love in, took and take plenty of abuse for it, but that's the joys of opinions.

I canr wait to see how we line up these first few games, I still think it will be more of a 3 and not a 'natural 10' which to me plays more into the squads make up than 2 in midfield and a 10.

Options like opinions aren't a bad thing imo

 

Is Isreal the next go to league now then?

 

No idea, but hes already agreed to it apparently.

 

Where is Isreal, fake country?

 

Freudian slip?

 

Imagine if we were bought by the Israeli state
