    Looks like the McAtee chase about to kick off.

    Doesn’t look like we in it.

    I am repeating myself here, but I dont have a concern about Browne being in our squad next season. The lad has played 70 international games. He isnt an average player by any means, he is a good one. Really it is up to him as he will have offers I am sure and if he wants to play 40 odd games fair enough (I would personally so get it). If he stays I would give Jones a loan. If Browne goes I would keep Jones around and let him train and learn with our squad. I dont feel desperate for another CM if Neil stays. Just an opinion though.

    I agree on Browne.

    We were delighted to sign him, he gets injured, there isn’t really a role for him over season, doesn’t make him ****.

    He isn’t gonna start every week and control games on PL, but like you say 70 caps says he’s a lad who can and will contribute.

    He’s a calm head.

    The video of him and his missus after Wembley was one of my favourites. Loving the moment, feeling it.

    He can play a part. Steep learning curve for everyone. Some will falter, some will shine.

    Agree. I think he'll do well if he stays and hope he does.

    He, Rigg and Jobe all played too much last season, but they were our best midfield and we didn't really have the depth to rotate enough. Individually and together they looked tired at times.

    More players in those positions is just what we needed. It's a tough league.

    Aye fair enough, just seems like a too good a deal not to go after him

    Aye. I’d wager the club think that by Afcon Rigg will be at an acceptable PL level. We as fans would be mad to back against that.

    Him and Mayenda are the 2 most premium, skys the limit assets we have.

    I’d agree I don’t think he regressed but I didn’t see any improvement in the areas where that was needed ie more confidence in commanding his box and his ability with his feet.

    Patterson has improved every season since he made the position his own bar last season.

    I wonder if the club believe he has his ceiling or want to push him further to see if he can make the improvements he needs to, the rumoured pursuit of a keeper seems to suggest either of these could be true.

    I’ve a lot of time for Patterson but I would like us to bring someone in of better quality.

    I also wonder if they’ll have a look a Triantis pre season and perhaps have him in and around the squad if he impresses

    Not sure mate. I think he starts against West Ham and it’s up to him from there.

    Could argue his game suits the PL in style, it’s whether he can quickly adapt to the level and get consistent.

    We haven’t replaced him directly, and it doesn’t look like we’ve had a major play to do so as it stands.

    If not here I’d like to see him move abroad give it a go somewhere like the bundesliga or even serie a

    Aye Leverkusen seem keen but they’ve signed Tillman who is a bit ahead of him development wise so could hamper him.

    Stuttgart looks a good link as they will play him.

    I’d like us to bring in couple of young English lads but we can’t have everything. I think he goes Forest to replace MGW.

    a centre half or two before Portugal would be lovely

    Currently yeah, he's the only real natural 6 at the club. Unless they see Sadiki playing that role but I think he's better a bit further forward

    great shout re forest, they’ve some work to do with their two main men in elanga and Gibbs white moving on

    re our midfield I look at the likes of Yates at forest, never pulled up trees in the championship but has become a dependable member of their squad and team at times.

    Also look at Adam Wharton, good player yes but I’m not seeing why neill can do the same or better than both of those

    The club were quite adamant that they wanted a GK and a CB before Portugal so we could be in for a busy week next week if we have targets lined up

    Maybe Cutler can get his claws in and improve Patterson. That's his job. I do hope we sign another keeper though and the two of them battle it out, push each other on.

    5 robust players who all expect serious minutes is probably enough tbf. Even more so if we bring in another attacking player who can play as a 10. Also maybe they think they can mop up any extra minutes with Triantis and Browne.
