    They are in the conference league playoffs but i'm not sure how much of a pull that is with players

    Maybe. Maybe not. Our fans think all of our best Xl are future Real Madrid players and they’re just not, as proven over the last two seasons. This coming season we’re expecting a play off push if we’re lucky, why aren’t we aiming to piss the league if these boys are as good as some make them out to be?

    He may well see the top flight in France as a better advert of his abilities to Prem clubs. Assuming we aren't batting away Premier League offers, he may see a season in Ligue 1 as a chance to prove himself at a higher level

    Huggins needs to play a few games before I get too excited about him but yeah for sure, I probably went to more games at Bootham Crescent at that point than I did to Roker Park/SoL.

    Full of great places North Yorkshire. There's very little over here like York town centre, or whitby, or Tan Hill etc

    Can't say I feel any affinity to its counterparts in the south, west, or east.

    keep an eye out but quite confident it's not transfer related

    Just what I've heard, been told not to repeat much of it but just trying to calm some people down

    Wonder if this knock he took is serious and he’s going to see a specialist? He does have a history with injuries

    Apparently a Saudi club are interested too. At his age, I can see him opting for the Saudi money but hopefully he wants to give England a go first. Pleased to see the club going for proven goal scorers though.

    I think someone like him with maybe a Scott Twine coming in, would be a great bit of business. If an opportunity arises later to acquire a Broadhead or Stewart on loan, I’d jump at that too, both have had injury struggles so the other two would still get more than enough game time.

    I think we should hear soon on Mendy's choice. He hasn't travelled with his squad and his exit is described as (I know) "imminent"

    York’s nice apart from all the pi55ed idiots from the races and hen parties. Makes me sound like a right grumpy old bloke!

    Worth noting Ballard and his GF or Wife just recently had a baby (around the Southampton game) so could be just a family related matter

    Also for that reason I'd be more inclined to believe a rumour of him joining a Prem team rather than Lens

    If I was moving I’d head for Beverley, lovely little spot.
