14 for a keeper, 20 for another attacker

14 would be an attacker wouldn’t it? 

I’m actually disappointed with this. Thought he was the best player on the pitch by a mile at Alfreton, oh well

??? wtf. 

It’s al gone quiet in Robertson. I thought he looked a great prospect. Hopefully we’re still gonna sign him

He will play most games. The forward positions are the ones that get subbed the most. I would imagine starts in the cups and on the bench for league games but he will play a lot. 

Looks like the Everton lot aren’t too impressed he’s been let out on loan, due to their striker issues. Seems this lad is thought highly of so could be good for us 

Maybe we were interested but the call came from Chelsea ?‍♂️

It’s probably more down to “if he will sign a new contract” on the conditions we are placed under tbh. If not, he will walk away for naff all next June. 

It will be nowhere near £15 mil with less than a year left in his contract unfortunately 

Well he’s Irish so that’s one pre requisite box ticked ✅

Armstrong Inya Echezolachuku Oko-Flex - what a name!

Definitely can’t afford that on the back of a new shirt

Yes, he had - a full season with Vitesse, which proved his quality as being a class above the Championship imo. 

Of course we need squad players, not denying the important of that when we’ve got so many games this season. But we’ve already got three strikers for one position in Collins, McGoldrick and Stretton. This only makes sense if we loan Stretton out imo.

McGoldrick is more of a 10 than a 9 playing behind the striker. Stretton on evidence isn’t great to have as a second striker. Not to mention there will be cup games where the squad players will get starts. Lots of games this year. Also if we want to throw 2 up front we’re lacking in numbers. 
 

We basically have 1 striker and 1 winger for each side. The rest are shoe ins playing out of position. McGoldrick is currently injured, if Collins got a knock then Stretton would be our main striker. Worrying thought

Glad you enjoyed the game mate ?

Was signing autographs and having pics taken outside the West Stand today, which seemed a bit strange.

He’s still out player

People seem to have forgotten we still owe Arsenal several millions in stage payments (£5 million? which is equivalent to our full season ticket income..) saving circa £1 million a year in his wages will just go towards that. I cant see his release allowing us to sign 4-5 more players. 

The debt to Arsenal would have been accounted for in the takeover. Releasing his wages allows us to sign more players

The away kit is brilliant. 2013/14 vibes.

I’m going to get one with Bamford on the back.

Cool but can you narrow it down a bit. Do you mean Morris, Kirchner, Gibson, Parry, Couhig or someone I missed?

Yes, pay on the gate using contactless card or cash.

Look forward to seeing you all this evening ?

Thanks mate, I just emailed and got that response but you beat me to it ?

It seems to me they are accepting that the contract was valid and they need to pay the development costs as it wasn’t a free transfer.

Assume you can pay on the gate?

I was wondering the same thing. Can anyone confirm?

How much do we think this guy will have cost us? Find it hard to calculate if we've been paying for him but still have £5m to pay.

Didn’t arsenal allow us to forgo a payment due to being in admin? Sure it was in the news. So it’s possible we’ve inky paid £2.5 mil so far as the initial payment

Hopefully Robertson will be one of them. Looks an exciting player. A Festy replacement.

Like a festy and Malcolm love child. Seems to have the best of both players and can finish

Robertson looks a really good player and Korey Smith played well. Rooney and Lo-Everton did ok. 

Apart from that ?

Cashin, Fozzy and Stears playing the keystone cops at the back was entertaining though ?

We may have triggered the extension, but I doubt it was validated by the EFL until the takeover was complete. We got took over after the contract ended, which is where I think the issue arises and what the conflict is
