I am seeing a fella tomorrow who has in the past had some very good contacts in the football agent world. I havent seen him for over a year, so maybe things have changed. He used to give me all sorts of signed footy stuff from the premier league for some charity stuff I do. He reckons he has some excellent stuff for me tomorrow as well, so hoping his contacts still there. I will see what he knows re transfers, if anything.
Nowt specific about any players for us. He did say we are supposed to be a 'different animal' now to deal with - in a very good way. We all knew that I know. What he said is that there are likely to be some prem clubs looking to move out some experienced lads in this window so dont jump to conclusions if u23s dont come - some championship clubs have big reputations with some prem clubs and deals can easily be done between certain clubs.

Also got some superb memorabilia and shared a lovely bottle of red :1980_boogie_down:

What was the red?
 
Not at the back he’s not, he’s been very good, I’m not overly keen on him in midfield but at the back he’s very comfortable.

I may be wrong but he should have been sent off twice...in 3 games. I'm not exactly comfortable with him at the back...and I'm a massive fan of him.

MotM VS QPR for me and a number of others. He was excellent. To say he wasn’t has to indicate an agenda
Fair play, all about opinions. If he’s still starting games after the end of the transfer window then we haven’t recruited well enough IMO. Bang average and will see red before long, 2 horrible tackles already so early in the season…

He's done well which I imagine has surprised a few who didn't think he was good enough for league one. Similar story with Gooch.

There's no argument that O'Nien has made some rash challenges but he's not been sent off and I could have sworn that we idolised the likes of Rae and Ball for putting in some brisk tackles.

Really? Gooch is 10x the footballer that O’Nien will ever be.
 
Don't agree with that and that's not what I was reading/hearing throughout last season. Gooch has copped a lot of **** in recent years.
He struggled for a long period and looked as though he’d be leaving the club but he’s been superb under Neil and clearly an important player for us these days. I hope O’Nien becomes half the player Gooch has been for SAFC, but I can’t see it.
