Hey, nothing I can send I'm afraid, but just wanted to add my acknowledgement of the brilliant support you're providing.  We have a Ukrainian Mum and 13 year old son staying in our street with another family, and we've all offered support / contributions but the Mum is immensely proud and doesn't want to take charity from us, but fund her own way until she can return to the country she loves and reunite with her husband, who remains.  Hugely humbling.  

I wish!  

I'm not getting carried away, and certainly not assuming we'll romp the league as this is one tough league to get out of, but I must confess with the announcements so far, a little bit of wee has definitely leaked out. 

£400K is more than I thought - was that upfront or the 'headline' figure if all add-ons were triggered? Either way, I can see why you said we got the best of the deal. I think most of us thought he'd do well for you. It won't be any consolation, but I wish we'd 'only' wasted £400K on a few of our players during the Morris era!
It's a fair point also about LR and expectations : most of us, I think, are realistic, but we know there is a an impatient element who judge everything on results - the same people, probably, who think Rooney should have done better with the resources at his disposal. Most of us know that we'll find a league with many clubs who have relatively settled line-ups, and who will regard us as a 'scalp' in the same way that Wednesday, Ipswich, Portsmouth and probably any of the yo-yo clubs are. There'll be a period of familiarisation and adjustment. Most of the players who've been signed or are possibly about to be signed have experience of L1, though perhaps not recently. In truth, I think the club would have signed more L1/2 players if they'd been available FoC, but because of the delay in a takeover being concluded, we're playing catch up with what's available, and many clubs are weeks ahead of us in preparation and squad strengthening. We've gone for the best we can get in the short-term and there's no guarantee it will bring success, but it has at least brought some excitement and anticipation after a truly dreadful 3 years of embargos, legal cases and threats of liquidation.

With Lurpak costs rising, can we up that to £10 now?

Agree expecting Knight to move with Lawrence too. 

Please don't tell me that is cryptic too and Butterfield is on his way back. ?‍♂️

Kind of a bit envious of this one.  Bet they can't wait for a bit of Anel. 
 

I quite like seeing what he's posting - always gives me a laugh.  But some sort of warning ought to be attached

Agree.  We may see something Friday but I'd be surprised if anything more is announced this week.  Would love if it was of course but suspect that may be it for now.  I would hope at least one of the Brighton loans, plus Collins, Davis and Fozzy. Fascinating to know who else is currently in talks that no-one's got wind of yet.

I'm sponsoring/hosting a Ukrainian refugee family through the Homes For Ukraine scheme.  33 year old Mum, 9 year old daughter and 5 year old son.  Been here 3 weeks now and settling in well.  It's exhausting but fulfilling. The stories they tell of their experiences bring tears to my eyes even as I type this.
Wondered if anyone had a spare Rams shirt for the kids, that they're prepared to let go?  Think there's a chance of them becoming lifelong fans.
I'm prepared to pay obviously, but a suitable donation from me to a Ukrainian charity instead might be a nice way forward.
Let me know what you've got!
Thanks

Hey;
Another post..... ?
Villa fan here, just wanted to come and say 1) good luck with getting back to the Champ, and 2) Chester....
Chester was a huge asset for us in the Champ, a real leader and loved by the squad, Grealish specifically said he was the single biggest leader in the dressing room during our Championship years.
He is a great player for L1 level for sure, in terms of his injury record, Steve Bruce destroyed his knee by playing him week in, week out with a serious injury after we failed to sign any centre backs and bought 50 right backs instead, terrible really, but Chester soldiered on like a warrior for the team.
looks like he played 21 times for Stoke last season, so fingers crossed he will stay fit for you, if he does, great signing (probably the reason for the 1 year deal).
Good luck.
 

f*** me. I go on a work call for an hour and all hell breaks loose! ?

I’m not getting carried away either. Just looking at London hotels for next may near Wembley 

Me either. Out of curiosity whats the most amount of points a team won league one with?

I think that’s good, he has had some injuries, as others have raised concerns around the age of some of our recruits, a one year deal gives him a chance to play for another contract and offers a sensible approach from the club in not over committing but strengthening immediately.
