First got a good look at Andre three years ago in a pre season at Cambridge United.  Front three of Andre, Jack and RHM  I don't think Cam U got a kick of the ball in the second half.  I thought those three were going to be our crown jewels.

If James Chester is back to fitness, I'd hope we offer him another contract, for perhaps a year, if we do go down. He's not quite good enough for the Premier Division but for the Championship, he'd be great.

I see so much of Luke Moore's story in Andre Green. Such a talented player in there somewhere but nobody has found a way to coax it out of them and have them really believing in themselves. Luke Moore did at least have an outstanding 6 months or so in the Premier League sadly Green has managed even less.

Luke Moore only turned 34 in February. Honestly haven't heard of his name in years, I presume he's retired from football now.

He retired four years ago. What a waste.

Yeah, I've no idea how Luke let it all slip away from him. Seemed to fall out of love with the game.

Farewell Borja Baston, we barely knew thee.

Borja? Gone?

Where will it end? Parting is such sweet sorrow.

Has Sarkic gone? - surprised by that.

He had his contract temporarily extended to see us through to the end of the season.  Then he’s being released.  And as for Vill I An I’m not in the habit of deliberately posting fake news even if it is from the Meaning Evil. 

The bar at the academy has been raised.  And not before time.  I liked how we controlled the message around O’Hare in particular by making it clear we let him got not the other way around.  It stops pathetic little wannabe clubs like Ryton and of course the media from saying he rejected a contract and chose them.  Which quite clearly he wasn’t given the opportunity to stay.  At 22 you should be playing first team football which he was....in League One.

Agreed, definitely good enough for the Championship if we go down and we would then probably be looking to replace Mings.
