now we're talking!

I see Burns is saying we’ve put another offer to AC as they’re trying to recoup as much of their €4m investment as possible. also that we might get £850k for Pape.

If it was the last mock up I saw online, it’d be a nice shirt. Kinda reminded me a bit of Swansea a few years back.

Just don’t want it to linger and result in having an unhappy player who wanted to move. A tidy fee would be greatly appreciated!

believe it was Scott Burns, but could be wrong.

I had this worry as soon as I saw he was playing against Ipswich! Really need to be pushing him out on loan. No idea what he’s seeing in training to keep him around.

Can’t say I’m overly impressed by lazetic in all honesty. We need someone that is actually scoring goals, not talking 20+ a season currently, as let’s be honest, they wouldn’t be coming to us, but at least miovski had scored a couple of goals previously. The lack of goals even with the 3rd best Serbian team is a major concern. Got too many projects going on. VitT on Twitter seems to imply he is a bit more of a target man so that could potentially bring Yengi and the wingers in?

I've been trying to find anything further on it but not had any luck. I always take things on twitter with a pinch of salt and haven't checked if it's Hat nonsense. I am hoping this is true though

I have seen some murmurings on Twitter that we’ve got a new striker pretty much sewn up so that would make sense if one of those are likely off and Ambrose got game time.

Joys of tv I guess, they’re highly visible and kiwis get fomo. Sydney had an even bigger crowd for them, but yeah, as you say, it’s Wrexham. That also being said, it’s not like we get northern hemisphere teams down here, least of a championship side.

That’s just embarrassing.

Interesting to note that Thelin specifically mentions Boyd in his pre matcher, that he’s having a good pre season and will get minutes (not that I’d expect anything less in a friendly). Hopefully a breakout season for him then?

Have to say, fair fucks to Hibs and the Arabs last night, decent results for both of them, Hibs especially. We wanting them both to qualify to get more games to complicate their season?

If you were shady, you’d be bonkers to accept a move to Mansfield or Stockport over euro football. There’s a common theme with those clubs though (Luton included), they’re all shiteholes. At least Stockport is a quick train to manc mind.

Anyone going along to this? Concerning not seeing either pape, sokler ora Gyamfi on the bench here, unless the first two are offski:

Shame it’s never worked out for him with us, but as someone pointed out on Twitter, probably gets him off the wages for the time being. Just doesn’t have it to take it to the level required consistently.

I genuinely don’t understand why they did what they did? Internal board bust up? Retaining Doc would not have been this bad.

Nix followed on from Sydney by beating Wrexham in the third of their down under friendly games. A largely academy based team beat them 1-0, be interesting to see how the next raft of nix youth develop and where they end up. Wrexham just signed arguably my favourite kiwi left back (also a nix graduate), who’s been plying his trade with empoli. Unfortunately it was too close to this game so he couldn’t make an appearance at his home stadium. I’d have loved us to sign him before we’d signed mcgarry but oh well, he’s now well and truly out of our reach.

Was an unavoidable situation They’ve been great thanks, heading back down south on Tuesday. Not quite sure where the time has gone tbh, but my boys are now struggling with the lack of routine though so it probably feels like it’s about time to head back to winter

Bringing everyone back down to earth, thanks, Jute

We defo don’t appear to have enough warm up games under our belts so far, but I am still bitter about not being able to see us play against Fulham Did they play any closed door games in Portugal?

I’d try and get him on a new deal and say if an offer of x million comes in, we’ll let you go. Would be quite hard to replace, if we’re honest. He is a super sub and has changed plenty of games. I don’t want to see him leave for free, not after all the time and effort we’ve put into him.

Brought absolute shame onto the club with their behaviour. Proper hun like.

Well, they are the best in the region (OFC), but that may all change with the attempts of the OFC pro league coming in. But I don’t disagree with your point though. I get the idea of spreading money around the world, but giving one club in a very small pot an exorbitant amount would seem to likely provide the exact opposite out they’d like.

Fair play indeed. There’ll be some epic games to be involved with over there, and some decent sunshine
