    He might have a desire to play every game , especially if one is on an attendance bonus? ;)

    True, and if those appearances are going to reduce, so will his take home pay. Another reason why he might fancy a move.

    crichlow. CB from Hudders who was on loan at swindon for the first half of the season. Was their stand out defender. Was recalled in January an got sent to Plymouth as they had an injury crisis for a few weeks. Didn’t play much after that

    Its a balance ……Nobody is saying he SHOULD leave, but it begs the question to ask if it’s a possibility. Massive difference, especially when Sparks/ Hughes are saying we need to reduce the squad size. Is it’s a valid question to ask on that basis. I’m more than happy for him to stay personally, but there again I don’t have to balance the budget.

    I'd say the only reason Cook leaves, is if we bring in Oliver and Quigley.

    Why do you assume just one spot. He had no choice last year with the players he had. I think he'll have two up front this year.

    I disagree. You can't control possession and be short of numbers in midfield. MH wants to control possession.
    There's nothing to suggest MH will go with two up front.
    We'll know a bit more in a few weeks. Let's see.

    You're kind of right in that there's nothing to suggest he will go with a front two but in one of the videos from Spain, a couple of the players were talking about getting used to a new way of playing or something similar which suggests it won't be the same formation every time.

    Let's see. I just can't see MH going with less than 3 in Centre Midfield.
    The other option is Wing backs, but I can't see the wing backs in the squad, and that system would make Hendrie getting a two year deal a bit daft.

    It's unlikely.

    But go on, give me a feasible benefit of posting such photos.

    I'll wait.

    We all get to chat about and assess a potential new signing.

    That's a benefit to everyone on here.

    Quite.

    I'm not trying to say anyone has broken the official secrets act, or that a photo uploaded to Twitter will be shared to all other 91 EFL clubs, but the reasons for not publicising the club's interests in certain targets are not only legit, but they're also time-tested.

    If I was at the club, I'd certainly want to control the spread of information, but I wouldn't be lashing out on social media either.

    I think we all know that if someone had noticed the photo being taken, they'd have said "please don't share that until there's an announcement", and I think the person that shared that realised that as well. They just decided to share it anyway. Bad faith, IMO.

    It's kinda what forums are for, a bit of fun and humour, speculation in the transfer windows. It's gone on for years at every club, seems only this whopper in twitter who's got all upset about it cos he wanted all the clout and me me me all to himself.

    I think we need some sort of official secrets act drawn up for football fans, maybe put an exclusion zone up around Valley Parade where phones are confiscated within 500m of the ground.

    Around this time every year people start talking about making VP a fortress.

    Ever seen them actually building REAL defences?

    I know I haven't.

    Quite like the idea of a stadium shaped like a castle. Could do with one of those in the picture around Bradford City centre to keep the riff raft from getting out
