Any Bolton players you want lads 😂😂

I'd have Maghoma on loan. Been poor today but has stood out across the whole season.

Just by removing those released, the squad feels significantly younger already 👍

I'm going to guess:

- 3 free agents

- 3 loans (Prem youngsters)

- 4 fees (2 nominal fees of less than 500k - Adams included - and 2 "marquee" signings of 1m+)

Total spend 3m-ish.

Brizzle City?

Bloody hope not. Absolutely sick of that middle-of-the-road nothing club.

There was a bit in the latest We Are Derby episode where he looked to be having a moment sat alone in the changing room. I suspect he knew then that he was going out on a high.

I just wish we would have had him a bit earlier on in his career. Terrific player but his legs have just gone now.

I genuinely think we might surprise people this coming year.

I think if we recruit well in the forward positions and maintain our defensive consistency, I don't see why we can't finish 12th-16th.

Iversen at Leicester so I’m told.  

I'd take that to be fair - he's a bit younger than Wildsmith as well.

NML or Nelson, you'd imagine.

Outside chance of Cashin too.

Leigh Curtis thinks Sibley could leave and try something new and also thinks Wildsmith could well be gone. 

I did notice on the Barnsley forum the other day, one of their posters seemed pretty certain that Sibley was going to them. No idea if they're regarded as ITK.

Slow and not good when pressed. Questionable attitude. Can't tackle.  Inconsistent passing.  These comments from that link are not getting me enthused.

I wouldn't read too much into them - this is a typical attitude when players are departing.

Look back at the Max Bird thread when it was announced he was leaving - 'doesn't affect games enough', 'we'll need better in the Championship', etc.

Edit: Just realised these comments were made back in December!

This would definitely be a replacement for Bird.

Not a prolific goalscorer (although his stats last year were good) and not an Ebou either. Just a very tidy midfielder.

Going to miss him obviously but it's such a bizarre career move. He's either gone to earn a significantly higher wage or he just really needed a change of scenery.

Either way, it's not inconceivable that we finish above Bristol City next season.

Not sure how reliable.

What are Burton doing there? 😂

Who we having from Peterborough then?

Probably out of our price range but I've always been impressed by Randall. I think he ran the show when they beat us 3-2 as well.

No point spending that sort of money on a position that I wouldn't call a weak point.

Save the funds for positions where we need it.

I look at Birmingham's transfers this season as similar to what we need. You could argue these players weren't good enough (as they have got relegated), but they bought in a similar profile of players to what we need.

6 fees paid out (including 5 for players under 25yo), for a total of 6m+.

Will we have a budget that big? Highly unlikely.

They also brought in a couple of free transfers of players aged 25-28, as well as 5 loans (mostly young players too).

In a bit, Birmingham 🤣

Blackburn take the lead against Leicester!

Yesssss Plymouth winning!

Struggling to pick which game to watch. I'd love to see Leeds fail again, but then I'd also love to see Birmingham go down at home. Decisions.

I've gone for the Birmingham game - I'd love to watch them go down.

Having said that, I do rate a couple of their players, Stansfield and Miyoshi in particular. Wouldn't mind us taking a look at them this summer.

Here we go, Barnsley get one back.

Would not put it past Bolton to mess this one up as well.

I always enjoyed Ryan Conway's stuff - it helped that he wasn't a blind faith Derby fan, so his angle was always balanced.

I know that some people took a dislike to him for some reason. 

He was also very vocal about calling out racist abuse in the game. 🔗

 

Reckon he's a fan now though haha. He still regularly tweets about it and you could tell he was thrilled about promotion.

Cardiff gaffer talking about Ebou

Yeah, this one is getting done.

Doesn't even sound that fussed about Adams being a Cardiff player next season.

I won't be the only one looking at these lineups and thinking, that sounds absolutely horrific. Would rather go spend the weekend watching cricket.

Kevin & Perry DJ set?! 😭😭

I wonder what outrage the PGMOL has committed against the Infamous Club today?

The delusions will go on regardless. They're now promoting themselves as Heroes Of The Resistance. It's a conspiracy, of course, because it's THEM on the receiving end this time :- 

What in the Che Guevara are they talking about?

Unbelievably cringe.
