Need to retain our top talent, I'm buzzing to see how Rigg Neil etc play with the new lads - i think they'll really up their games and won't be easy to shift from the team

Exactly so. Good players will only get better among other good players.

Spirit is the key, and the scenes in the video the club put out show it is there in super abundance. You can't fake some of that stuff.

Obviously loving all the players were being linked with and I hope we get them in. It shows the ambition of the club. One question. Will our academy players still get a chance or not?

So long as we concentrate our money into a smaller number of higher quality players it should still create room for them. Needs to remain a big part of the club. It’s the thing that increases our ceiling as a club.

When you think about it, it’s a simple model. Sign young talent who have limited senior experience, develop them, then either sell on for profit or the team naturally improves.

The reason teams don’t do it, is they won’t take the risk of immediate success being halted. That’s where speakman especially has done incredible because other than 23/24 the onfield side has consistently improved.

We had huge advantages with the standard of the academy and training facilities that most clubs don’t have. But we also have a demanding fan base which would make it hard to stay the course with such a model. That’s what makes KLD tenure here so far, absolutely outstanding.

Yep. Particularly last close season, when the overwhelming clamour was for some experienced Championship manager and players .

Sticking to their guns in the way they did was extraordinarily impressive.

Diarra for £26.5m as the initial fee, you’d assume the additional that rises is to £30m will be if we stay up.

so worst case scenario and we go down. He’s extremely unlikely to have had such a bad season that we don’t recoup MOST of that. And that’s worst case.

one decent season as a highly rated 22 year old could see us getting bids of £50m+ for him next summer.

this feels like a huge outlay and maybe im just wearing an optimistic hat today but I can’t see how we don’t make our money back, serious injuries permitting

Has someone found the batteries for the magic carpet?

Despite my seeming reticence at times, Diarra is quite a coup. Feela very much like a signing where top 4 level clubs happy for us to takr him, give him 2 years, and scoop him up for double when they are happy he is prem proven. Him and the keeper would be great starts. Need to get a wriggle on though, Ndong still our second biggest tfr to date...

Re Gendouzi people will laugh. I am not 100% on him. Not a bad player at all, just not all I think he could be. Defensively he can be got at and isnt some form of defensive master. I dont take well to players that seem to find trouble in an empty phone box either. Maybe I will love his scrappy do attitude when he is the red and white. There are better options in Italy than him imo, should we want another CM.

Whoever they sign is fair play though, they seem to have this summer very well planned ahead of time. Getting deals done before pre season is really important imo.

Now, u21 final anyone? Haway England, time to shine brightly again. Harvey to bag a hatrick and in his interview announce he is now a Mackem.
