Maybe judging this wrong but I think most folk on this forum would rather suffer a 30 min stand up gig from me than the half time entertainment at world cup final...jeez its painful

It's a close one between you and the half time show mate!

Alfred needs a good amount of time to build something 

Said it days ago I have a vibe this season will be nowhere as good for obvious reasons and everyone needs to get supporting us 

Nothing negative,  last season was one of the best ever

According to Scott Burns we are expecting incomings next week. 

Unsubtantiated rumour on Twitter that Just fee is £5m + add ons. No idea if thats accurate or not.

Great post.  Last season was special so this season definitely going to be different and we need to give AJ a chance

Having all of that money is good and well, however it can sometimes lead to poor decisions on player signings as selling clubs knowing that we’re cash rich can and will inflate asking prices.

Well that doesn’t sit with Burns comment that this fee will “eclipse” Miller’s.

If we can buy the 2 houses at the south end, to enable a stand to be built full length, then get it done.

They would need to buy 4 houses, not just 2. 

Any new stand will likely just be built on the existing footprint.

Very good point and thats one  reason why so many fees are undisclosed these days.

I agree. Willy Vogt. 

[Yabba's Turd]

Regarding a replacement Main stand, it doesn't have to be as tall at both ends, could be rebuilt and moved closer to the pitch

You’ll have to tell one first before you can repeat it 😂😂

Dylan Williams

[MFCL84]

Apparently his main position is left back. Competition and backup for Longello.

Looks a promising signing, a former Derby county Academy player, 52 apperances for Burton in league 1, as always time will tell.

[grizzlyg]

Good to get another one in.  Just hope it doesn't mean longelo going

[Spit_It_Out]

Hmmmm wouldnt shock me if Longelo departing is on the cards aswell hope not and would like to see him pushed further forward.

Ewan Wilson as back up should Longelo go is not where I pictured us this season at all.

Longelo was injured for last Friday based on the manager update so hopefully not.  
 

Although listed as left back presumably could play right and allow Tom S to move forward  not perfect but another option

 

[grizzlyg]

I had just assumed he was Welsh but apparently not

TBF Wilson looked fitter than most against Genk. Wouldn’t have a problem him being a back up at moment to, as you suggest, allow Longelo to move forward. 

[wellfan]

Williams is a left-back and looks set to be first choice, given his experience and the fact we paid a fee for him. That suggests either Longelo is on his way out, or he’ll be pushed into a more advanced role on the left.
