More tv money too. Also we are buying players that are of an age that we can later sell if needed. I get that about sell-on potential and delighted with the new transfer strategy. But you would still need 3m up front - on the scenario discussed above - and there is no guarantee he can be sold at a profit: look at Dozzell. We still have the £39m loss over 3 seasons limit. Agree the TV deal helps and I get as excited about transfers as any fan. Just think its important, amid all the optimism, to remember that about a year ago a call went out to fans to help repaint a stand because we couldn't afford decorators... Now we have Marti and an energized and forward thinking CEO

Fascinating discussion on talksport about new DOF and CEO at clubs and how clubs now employing 20year olds. Mentioned a 26year old in particular who tried signing one of the Peterborough players for 100s thousands when there was already bids on the table in excess of a million and he could not get why bid was not accepted. Wonder if it ours?

Can't say I know much about him. was a very highly rated youngster that burst onto the scene a few seasons ago but dropped off a bit due to a few injuries and lack of form. pacey though which is something we could do with as an option up top now sincs is gone.

I would, in a non corbs way Careful, he will be asking you if you are top or bottom in a minute. If there is any substance to this and its not mere agent/ clickbait talk - like the "superstar" who, er, re-signed for Oxford Utd - I expect it would only be if we off-load Dykes to Blackburn.

More whispers on Twitter about that Moroccan midfielder Nordine Kandil. Says he's in London to finalize a transfer. Take it with a pinch of salt though. Not a clue who he is in any case.

Looks a very similar type of player to Chair from what very little is online of him.

1.67 metres tall? That's 5 foot 4 in old money. He's minute! With him, Smyth and Chair we'd become a team of diddymen.

Maybe a replacement for Chair so one diddyman for another.

If we go for Kandil I expect he would be a Chair back/up replacement or maybe Willock replacement.
Home club is Strasbourg in the top French league (managed by Patrick Viera I think) but spent last season on loan in League 2 for experience with plenty of game time and a growing reputation. Only scored 4 goals last season but was 6th or 7th ranked in number of assists in the league. Could be a cheap young punt but as usual.....click click

Bit of an odd one. We have Chair and Koli also left footed. Lakarche also arguably better going forwards. Unless we are planning to move Chair to the centre in a number 10 role. Or maybe this guy is left footed but cuts in from the right? Am liking the kind of players we are being linked with and acquiring but all of these positions less a priority for me than a defensive midfielder as struggle to see Coleback playing 30+ games

certainly need another AM although i think kolli will be involved with the first team this year so we have to take any signing into account of that. atm we only have chair, andersen, kolli and smyth as our AMs so it's a bit light as the latter 3 are squad players.

5ft6 actually mate. More or less the same height as Ilias Chair (and me).
