And I need to underline the point that I was not referring to the sacking of Thorup but the change of direction following the meeting with the owner in America.

And I need to underline the point that I was not talking about the sacking but the change in direction following the meeting in America with the Owner. I will accept as a generality that I was happy when the Club was owned by Delia and Michael but I will never be happy at my Club being owned by...

Forgive me but if an American Businessman told me the time I would double check it and in any event they were only talking about the eventual sacking - not the change in direction.

Knapper employs Thorup on a 3 year transition - after 6 months Owner changes that. I call that interference. Is it the same with the squad? That is why I put question marks after my suggestion.

I am very pleased to read what you say but will they ever get the chance to prove themselves with a run in the matchday squad. Our past record and the numbers of players we are currently bringing in would not suggest they will. How many youngsters have come through the academy during the last...

Pleased to read that. It is really what we need more of and less of who we are going to buy, Arsenal are including two 15 year olds in the squad going on their pre-season tour and often have teenagers in their matchday squad, I know that these youngsters are better than ours but the top of the...

Didn't somebody get sent off last season for pulling the hair of that hairy Chelsea player?

Agree Rick It seems that the German press were far more up to date on this deal over your local press and I suspect that the figure they were quoting is the up front payment with the rest in addons.

Agree but as most used exactly the same wording I suspect it was an unofficial briefing from the Club

According to the German/European media we accepted the offer yesterday and only a few details remain outstanding

The sporting media over in Europe are talking as if it is a done deal and are referring to it as a ' steal '. Where are we going to replace a proven Championship striker for that sort of money? Talk of getting £35m for him was over the top but £15m? It is not as if Wolfsburg is a bigger Club or...

It must be who they were referring to but surprised it would be run on Sky. Are Long, Reyes and Barden still here? Has Gunn found a new Club? I gave up my online subscription to the EDP as I never got round to reading it.

Are Sky Sports correct and we have signed yet another GK?

Crawly fails. Root pulls them out of a hole. Whats new?

I didn't see Duffy on the first day back video but according to my son he was back in his usual Pub at the end of last week

He only got away with it last time because of dreadful Indian lower order batting in both innings and the brilliance of Root. Time perhaps to die by the sword and pass the job to Brook

Not at all. I am glad the positions have been filled - only time will tell us how good they are but as Rob says ' what did you expect them to say? '

Another load of over the top piffle out of the Club based on absolutely nothing

I fully accept the age difference makes a lot of difference but it just struck me that the scoring record of Pukki was far better for us and Finland and he had more experience in Europe than Sargent yet nobody came in for him. Don't get me wrong - I hope Sargent stays as he is a good...
