    I'd settle for beating spurs home and away this season. Wouldn't be the first time- 2002/3 springs to mind.

    Would love that to be with RonKo, although hes got 2 years left, inevitably rumours about his future will start to swirl about Xmas time, or when a club with the letters A, E, I O or U in the name have their manager leave.

    I will sit in ignorant bliss that RonKo will start a mini empire at St Marys and wont leave until the 2022/2023 season when we will install a newly engineered genetic clone complete with navy blue jeans, white shirt and black suit jacket combo as manager and break into Europes top 5 clubs.

    It's all quite interesting in terms of perception. Stoke, I think, are a team who came up quite a while back now, and have not drummed up much interest since then, but they are now at least seenas a Premier League mainstay, whose general level and style of football is on an upward curve.
    I think and hope we are generally more liked than Stoke, and seen as an attractive club that plays good football.
    Our niche now seems to providing the big clubs with home-grown English potential talent, who then move on and never quite fulfil that potential. It's something to be proud of, but it's quite painful too at times...
    Under Cortese we had more ambition, which did feel good, but it also led to Dani Osvaldo...

    I'm not sure about the ambition point. I think Les Ralph and co are very ambitious just with a touch of pragmatism. When we get there we want to stay there not do a Blackburn or Leeds.

    Or a Southampton! It's amazing how quickly some forget that 'ambition' (if that means throwing money at transfers and wages) can often lead to problems. As stated above we are doing things the proper way atm - living within our means but with a squad full of internationals and youth prospects. this is the most comfortable I've felt for many a summer.

    Guan 2.0

    I've been told this will be announed Thurs (this was yesterday, so happy to be corrected if SA has newer updates).

    If we get our Number 1. CB target and the Right sided CM we're also in for, a very good window will be had. : )

    As I predicted then! Good to see. Think we will have a decent squad with 3 good additions. Sounds like by how he's saying it they're good players.

    Remember, of course, that we didn't draft in a Cork replacement. Hence the two midfielders - Clasie + Player X.

    Haven't a clue. You can't rule out anything with transfers. Like Bertrand arriving from nowhere last season.

    I wonder if we will take a punt on some more loans/trial periods this season?

    Do you know whom player X is or are you guessing. I hope it is a more attacking or box to box player?

    I have no reason to doubt those itk about vilhena being target for next season. He's box to box so can't see us investing there now. Either a creative 10 or a proper defensive midfielder as back up / support for Victor is my guess. Praet or a young def mid like imbulla would be top of my list.
