    Rich84 got a reaction from Carnero in Alfie May - joined Charlton   
    We can't say we missed out if the player at 30 years old wants to be close his family, and Charlton are a big club at league 1 level, and have potential to be a decent size at Championship. 
    Remember Chris Powell, Paul Goddard, it isn't just about money.

    Rich84 got a reaction from angieram in Jason Knight - joined Bristol City   
    The problem with Ebiowei is that we didn't 'develop' him, we got him on a 1 Yr deal for nowt in the summer, wasn't allowed to offer a longer deal, so he was out of contract and us receiving anything for him could be considered a bonus.
    As someone else said, they paid well for Plange, and importantly paid it up front to help us survive until the summer, which shouldn't be forgotten!
    If we are given 30k (if that's the offer) and a % sell on then so be it, I will still be grateful for what they did last Jan with Plange.
    WRT Knight, if we get £2m then I'd snap their hand off, would like a 25% sell on clause though

    Are we really freeing up Transfer money from a Bielik sale if we still owe this money to Arsenal?
    To me, all we are doing is taking the wages off the books.

    Or I hear stuff and instead of gatekeeping it, I want to share with my fellow rams fans. It’s never going to be 100% correct because things change. But to call me insecure and lonely is just a bit rude to be honest

    Rich84 reacted to Srg in Paul Warne Pre-Season Interview   
    Was going to say something similar. 
    Basically, if you’re of a positive or neutral disposition, you will have liked the interview. If you’re anti-Warne already then it’s going to have done very little. And let’s face it, we could win the title this year and the anti-warners would pick fault with the style of play or some other nonsense.

    Rich84 reacted to Caerphilly Ram in Paul Warne Pre-Season Interview   
    Warne gives an interview highlighting a number of good things and answering a number of concerns present in the fan base, so of course the natural thing is to jump on one of the things he says to draw out the negatives over any positives.
    He has admitted the failure to strengthen last season’s squad was part of why we failed, last season’s squad was imbalanced with plenty of depth in some areas and none in others. If he’s able to recruit a more balanced squad with the right players, more of whom are at the peak age bracket, able to play in the way he wants them to, how do you know the squad of 20-22 wouldn’t work for promotion next season? After all it’s worked for Warne and his staff on 3 previous occasions hasn’t it?

    McGoldrick has said he wanted to join Notts no matter what. I don't know what we could have offered him to get him to stay, I'd rather the club operate sensibly than try and put silly offers in front of 35 year old players to get them to stay.
    Roberts was never our player. On loan from a Premier League club, now wanted by Championship clubs. You can't pin that on Paul Warne.
    Jason Knight has had his international manager saying he should be/needs to be playing at a higher level. Probably true but all international managers will want their players playing as high as possible. All that's come from Derby is that claims he's close to leaving aren't true.
    Hourihane has a job coaching 15 year olds in the evening and the media took a few words he said and spun them out of context for a story.
    Rodrigues' dad has apparently followed Oxford on Instagram. That's about it. There's been nothing substantial to say he's going anywhere yet.
    Yes business is being done, but slowly. This link tracks the done deals, it's hardly thriving with activity just yet. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/transfers
    Local reporters have said we are close on deals but players are still on holiday. We seem to want to operate in a much quieter way, which is much better. We don't need to play out transfer sagas publicly.
    We need to sign players, and we will sign players. We still have 56 days until the season starts, it's hardly time to panic. It's lucky we're having nice weather at the moment, lots of people will be able to put their freshly washed bedding out to dry after wetting it because McGoldrick has joined Notts County.

    Yes I think @Rich84 summed it up so well above "it was a unique set of circumstances with an obviously inspiring figurehead as manager". An emotional rollercoaster season for everyone - perhaps they havent kicked on as expected because of that.

    Is this the same Plange that tore it up in his loan at Lincoln since January?  Their performances in that season is probably not a good gauge on how they will progress, it was a unique set of circumstances with an obviously inspiring figurehead as manager (not the most tactically asture though)....
    They may have good careers, but none have kicked on since leaving. Maybe Ebosele's physicality and pace is allowing him to hold his own, and he is playing at a high level, so I think he would have been immense in league 1, but Plange and Ebiowei..... 
    Look how our established starlets, Bird, Knight and Sibley have all arguably struggled, most of us thought they would boss the games, but they haven't,  there's an odd flicker, but I'd say they've all been underwhelming,  hopefully they will kick on in 23/24 if they stay
