It’s the unfamiliarity of not wanting us to bin players and having attachments with these current lads. Seen it with gooch and will probably in the future with the likes of Roberts (sorry bad example for you mate ) and onien. It’s football and it’s a brutal industry but the club has to keep moving forward. It will mean things are moving in the right direction when we’re sad to say bye to some lads. Don’t think we’ll see much if it this summer mind, but definitely on the horizon if we manage to stay up.
I know, shock horror Great assist in the final but over the course of a season he's proved not to be at the required level. He'll be kept as backup though.
Yeah I 100% get it. Stark contrast to the early L1 days where I honestly wouldn't have cared if everyone just got released
Obviously we've got the likes of Aleksic, Seelt, Triantis and more who could really impress RLB in pre season. It's not uncommon that players go from barely playing in a promotion season but play a big part in the league above. I know he's young but Tyler Dibling barely played last season for Southampton but was their best player in the PL. Maybe we have a youngster that does the same.
People are getting very involved in the detailed specifics of the Jobe situation when the reality is we'll never know. There's no point in getting hung up on it. We all knew the deal with Jobe when he signed - that was the whole reason he signed for us. The move has worked as well as either of us might have hoped, we've enjoyed it a lot along the way and now he moves on for whatever fee the club decides to accept. If that's £25m or £40m doesn't change my perception that we did well out of Jobe and he did well for us. I hope he goes on to have a hell of a career and I get to support him when he pulls on an England shirt in the future.

Take it with a pinch of salt the French are very passionate and reactionary if someone leaves they’re the worst player ever
Not just his parent it is agent as well you know how much power agents have look jack clarke for example.
