Reports are that we have sold 30,000 season tickets for this season. If we start well it go higher. We might need that bigger stadium sooner. COYB

Anyone needing tickets you have loads on stub hub and cheap

Anyone else concerned Bobby has taken pre-season a bit lightly?

Allowing some of the World Cup lads to only return to training last week is a bit short sighted, and they probably won`t feature on Saturday.
The squad has not actually been strengthened dramaticly as suggested.
With Seamus struggling as well, i`ll take a draw now.

[hilly10]

No have faith they will feature and I predict a win 2-1

[aaak]

My biggest fear is the way newly promoted teams succede in their first season, we've suffered from it before and might well be open to it again.
Hope not

Landon to retire give him a 12 month contract as a final swansong, he still has it.

That is good news IMHO. I thought Eto was about 72 the way the press talk about him, but he's young enough to be Sylvains grandson..........get him signed Roberto.

We've a knack of getting a few good years extra out of these types of signings.

I actually thought his first name was "The veteran" until I read the link in the Express.

Trying to find out.
But its not a name we were interested in at the beginning of the window.
Things can change.It is rumoured that he turned down the sh!te because they never offered enough wages and signing on fee.
So file with Richards and Rodwell.

More likely to bring back Gerry from Barca IMO.

Jack Cork from Southampton, is on the radar, but we havn`t met Southamptons Valuation i believe.

Some rags picking up on McCarthys new conract, welcome to May rags

[hilly10]

I reckon he would do us for a season. Brilliant for our Europa nights. Bring him on RM

[tdm34]

What's the latest news on Brian Oviado?

[hilly10]

He is training at Finch farm last I heard so will be ready soon

[m3sye]

Guys, would you say your team is stronger this year?

[hilly10]

I would say so, but we are a lot stronger in depth with the squad RM as assembled, which we will need in Europe. We have sold no one and bought in some great signings.

Against last year where are you stronger - not having a pop just interested to understand your squad this year, not been following

Lukaku you had last year
Barry You had last year
Atsu - you had the young Spanish lad who was very good

Not sure who else you have picked up? what have they been like in pre season etc?
