    Managers bar the odd exception do not change their modus operandi and ours is wing backs and 3 centre backs. As you allude to we don't do wingers which at times can be frustrating when you're expecting your wing backs to play like wingers.

    It's a different cost. We can pay 300k for a player plus wages or you can spend that 300k on wages for a loan and get a far better player albeit with no fee at the end.

    Anyways, Parker has said we aren't the club that have gone in for him.

    I've no idea what's happening with Humphrys, I wouldn't be surprised if he departed, wouldn't be particularly surprised if he stayed though either.

    Surely some other club will think they can get the best out of him.

    That changes everything. Given how accurate he was about Humphrys being out in Austria, I now fully expect Molyneux to be unveiled as a city player over the weekend.

    IBolton have the means to take that risk and we dont.

    But it wasnt £300k, it was £500k+ for 1 or 2 of them. Sharpe even said so in an interview...'over £10k a week'.

    I think GA likes him. I give him a 7/10 for last season, wasnt a disaster and tried his luck in an unfavourable position. Moments of sheer brilliance and moments of utter shite. But on balance - satisfactory.

    If he goes, he needs replacing, we have no competition for Bobby and lose that body/option at CF too. I think we stick with him until January.

    Pretty sure he scoffed at the Phillips rumours. 'Nothing in it'.

    Or maybe it was Gillesphey. Deffo one player we brought in.

    He will be right on this one though.

    Hi @Administrative ,

    Just letting you know that this offensive post is still around while you continue to delete my incredibly humorous posts.

    The latest was only comparing a poster of a similar name to Simon Parker who also gets the majority wrong and in reality was pretty factual.

    A two tier policing system may be acceptable for the labour party but it has no place on a forum so perhaps you could all have a hand wringing meeting this evening to discuss the policies and leave the grown ups to navigate the choppy waters of this unpredictable forum while safe in the knowledge that our mental health can cope with the lightest of banter and we don't need a moderator to dish out protection for a little light ribbing.

    Kind regards.

    Walker not in team or on the bench for today's friendly in Austria could he be on his way

    I wouldn't read anything into it. Last season Hilton played the full 90 so either doing that with McCracken or a chance to give Hadi some minutes

    No. GA said players that haven't got as many minutes as others will be the priority today and as McCracken missed out earlier in pre season due to an ankle issue, it makes sense for him to play longer today.

    No, I think he will have got there before now.

    In the meantime we are looking at Rik Waller as our dynamic, powerhouse midfielder.
