Hearing Paqueta to be sold in Jan. He wants a return to his homeland but so far only interested party there wants a loan with option. Also interest from Milan and Juventus but again they don't seem to want to put the money forward for him.
Personally not a fan of him as i hate the showboating and the amount of times he loses the ball but the next 6 months i reckon he will play well to try make the brazil squad for world cup. So i would keep him. Play centrally with a double pivot behind of fernandes/magassa/potts (2 of 3 then you get 1 from the bench too)

Unlikely Sullivan will buy more players, without selling some, it’s just who and when ?
29 Dec 2025 10:58:47
Nuno to be sacked if we fail to win next game. Bilic already spoken to about taking the role on a 6 month deal with a 2 year deal if we avoid the drop. We are getting desperate.
1.) 29 Dec 2025 12:08:13
He may, be able to get us out of trouble. But keeping him on the next 2 seasons would be a disaster IMO. Here we go again absolutely no long term strategy.
2.) 29 Dec 2025 12:24:46
Here we go again. What happens if we win the next game, but lose the one after? Or draw? Bloody ridiculous.
3.) 29 Dec 2025 14:18:21
Can see whoever does come in if we replace Nuno to be on a 18 month deal with a relegation break clause
4.) 29 Dec 2025 15:41:18
Chris, Sullivan doesn’t work like that. It’ll be until the end of this season, extendable if we survive.
5.) 29 Dec 2025 17:20:44
Sullivan doesn't have much bargaining wriggle room currently! Itll be same kind of deal as Potter
28 Dec 2025 12:26:27
Guillerme close to move to Sporting in Portugal. Permanent move, going to end up being a big mistake. This kid has the attributes to be a star just needs a run of games to show it. don't be surprised in the next few years he moves again for a fee north of 50mil!
1.) 28 Dec 2025 14:36:40
TBH I’m not so sure about that, it’s a gamble, a few people have to leave, so decisions have to be made
, one way or another
20 Aug 2025 11:20:11
Rumours we may be bringing in lindelof at Centre back cover. Imo awful signing but he is seen as low risk due to being free!
1.) 20 Aug 2025 12:23:34
Lots of fans out there have no confidence in this board doing anything in this window
2.) 20 Aug 2025 13:03:06
And what we have done hasn't even improved what we had, the new gk is crap areola is a better shot stopper, kwp is just a squad player, diouf at the moment is not better than Emerson and callum Wilson is finished and people wonder why fans have no faith and are negative
3.) 20 Aug 2025 13:31:34
Exactly Redrobbo. It's a shambles. The entire summer to do business and they expect us to believe the latest "multiple bids in" BS.
Hear the same every window. Focus is on midfield but we need a striker with pace have they forgot
4.) 20 Aug 2025 14:11:33
I disagree, I think Hermansen and Diouf have improved the squad. Mads had little to no time to train with the defenders, Emerson hasn't been the same since our 2023 Europa win. KWP adds pace and cover which is needed. Hopefully we can add at least 2 midfielders soon.
Agree Wilson is not really what we needed, but low risk contract for when he inevitably gets injured.
5.) 20 Aug 2025 16:27:30
IS YOUR REAL name Yorkie Sullivan ?
6.) 20 Aug 2025 17:20:34
Have to agree with Robbo the keeper was at fault for the 1st and 3rd goal Saturday. I don’t know how tall he is but looks like he needs help covering the goal. He may come good but a disaster of a debut and shouldn’t have been put in the team so quick.
Diouf looks alright at crossing the ball but defensively looks suspect, again could Come good. But we should be playing Scarles but as usual our managers talk about playing youth but drop them like a stone. If Scarles isn’t playing left back or left wing back I would see if we can play him in Aguerd position as he seems disinterested and an accident waiting to happen….
7.) 20 Aug 2025 18:37:31
Yeah started off with excellent save, that was it, totally correct on goals 1 and 3, can’t see Areola conceding those
8.) 20 Aug 2025 19:05:36
Maybe not but Areola gives away silly mistakes which lead to goals and can’t use his feet. Not fair to judge Hermansen so negatively after only one game

Good game, the team work so hard for each other. Feel like it was a positive letting Paqueta go tbh! Feel Disasi has made a massive difference at the back, both Mavro and Todibo look better alongside him.
Thought Kante in the middle gave us something different and played really well too. Don't see what the fuss about Mayers is though if I'm honest. Loved Pablo and how hard he works for the team.
1.) 10 Mar 2026 16:59:06
You must be watching a different Ezra Mayers to me. I've yet to see him put a foot wrong, and he's not in his best position either.
2.) 10 Mar 2026 18:11:37
We can agree to disagree, but he looks nervous defending, looks unfit, and offers nothing going forward. He gets the ball and gives it to the left centre back. Positioning is suss too.
3.) 11 Mar 2026 13:22:42
I agree with you, ChrisB. Incidentally, your username could be mine. I'm also a Chris B, and my favourite number is 5. ?
4.) 11 Mar 2026 14:41:49
Mayer looks a Championship player at best. His distribution is appalling, and he never wins a tackle.
5.) 11 Mar 2026 15:33:22
Early days. Give the lad a reasonable chance.
6.) 11 Mar 2026 21:06:09
Will, of course, give him a chance and will always support whoever is picked to play... Just stating my opinion on him from what I have seen so far.
01 Mar 2026 21:59:29
A good Sunday for us with Spurs and Forest both losing. Need to get the win v Fulham next. no ifs or buts. Expected to lose v Liverpool but Fulham are beatable. got to go for it
1.) 02 Mar 2026 09:15:45
100% must win, can get us out of relegation zone providing Forest lose to City.
Had a look at the next 4 games for Forest and Spurs, they both have to play 2 European games, then they play each other.
We are definitely in better form, hopeful we can take over both. It's doable, but it only takes a dodgy VAR decision or two, which we've had in crucial games.
Hopefully we can get some in our favour.
Lack of options off the bench could be pivotal in the run in. Ajala, Fearon, Orford need to be given a spot on the bench instead of filling it with a defender, or at least some game time in the cup. If one of them steps up, they could offer something different off the bench.
2.) 02 Mar 2026 16:31:12
Good call with the 3 youngsters. Mayers, Killman, and maybe Scarles or KWP should make way for a more attack-minded bench.
3.) 04 Mar 2026 03:22:42
I agree, our bench is always too defensive. Mayers should make way. The problem with the 3 named above is that I am not sure they are ready, and I would have rather had Earthy or Marshall, but the club decided to loan both out.
4.) 04 Mar 2026 16:48:41
I'm not convinced about Earthy; he was not picked by the new BC manager and is now injured, or Marshall, although I haven't seen that much of him. I think Orford is a good shout, and Fearon proved he is decent in pre-season. I don't think they should have let Kodua go to Luton, and Ajala deserves a chance. I know what you're saying, in that you don't think they are up to it, but even if the option is not ideal, it's better than nothing.
We are in a desperate situation, where we could find in any game a need to score to give us a win or draw. A defender isn't gonna do that. And having 5 is ridiculous. Sadly, with Killman, a massive drop in ability could only breed panic in the ranks and the crowd if he were to make a subs appearance.
01 Mar 2026 09:57:34
Following on from the accounts being released and a few stories we need to sell in the summer. can see Bowem, Fernandes and Summerville being the likely ones as that's where the money is at.
Also Diouf being linked to a move away as well
This problem is due to over the seasons Loss upon loss on players brought in.
1.) 01 Mar 2026 16:02:57
Or they could invest their own money and stop all this robbing Peter to pay Paul.
2.) 01 Mar 2026 16:03:43
Or having a board that only looks to enrich themselves?
3.) 01 Mar 2026 19:03:24
We are probably going to be like Sheffield Wednesday but worse.Under PSR rules, accounts needed to be under £105 million, and we come in at 104. Wow, that smells of creative accounting. And these figures need to remain the same or better for 3 years.
How is that going to happen, even if we miraculously stay up? As others have said, it's up to the board to put their hands in their pockets, but they won't. They have almost bled us dry; why would they change the habits of a lifetime.
4.) 01 Mar 2026 19:47:42
Whetstone made a post via c&h saying that if we went down that the board would put their own money into getting us back up, so it is there. They just want to keep us up on a shoe string and hope someone meets Sullivan's stupid valuation.
5.) 01 Mar 2026 20:21:59
I watched that 3 episode series called Dirty Water, about how private companies have rinsed the taxpayer. The head honchos at these companies made millions, whilst the service and the safety of our waterways and everything else suffered. It was very similar to the asset-stripping muppet we have in charge of us. Something has to change.
22 Feb 2026 16:26:43
Watched Forest and Liverpool just now. We shouldn't fear Liverpool and need to get at them like Forest did. but actually take our chances!
Unfortunately Forest looked quite good and can see them picking up points.
4 points lost last few games
1.) 22 Feb 2026 20:10:26
Totally agree, Chris. I watched the second half and apparently Liverpool were much better in the second half. God knows how bad they were in the first half, because they were awful in the second half. Playing back to the keeper from attacking positions, relying on the long throw! Only snag is, we always do terrible up there, and earlier in the season at the LS, they were there for the taking, and we bottled it.
But let's hope we give it a go. Forest did look good.
13 Feb 2026 23:38:38
Looking at Spurs and Forest appointments - neither is screaming they have trust in the new man at the helm. I can see Tudor struggling to get the spurs players playing his way too. Good news for us!
12 Mar 2026 12:09:11
I think Mateus Fernandes will play for a big Champions League team eventually. It would be great to keep him another year or so, but that would depend on staying up. I see him going to City to replace Bernardo Silva, tbh.
18 Feb 2026 10:20:28
Hopefully not another Roberto goalkeeper ?
06 Feb 2026 09:18:24
Honestly i don't understand how we could be 'making a list' for the summer but then every window we leave it till last minute. Surely if you make a lost this early you then start the window quickly
31 Jan 2026 09:37:11
Talk about desperate and overpaying. Both will be off If/When we get relegated.
17 Jan 2026 09:27:36
Personally don't see it happening. With 2 strikers already in, yes he can play wide but predominantly plays through the middle.
15 Mar 2026 01:18:23
Add Todibo to that list too and Hermansen. Back line was solid.
12 Mar 2026 10:52:04
Iron.Al's only concern with Traore is that he is inconsistent tracking back. When he does it, he does it well, but when he didn't, he left Scarles alone v 2.
11 Mar 2026 21:06:09
Will, of course, give him a chance and will always support whoever is picked to play... Just stating my opinion on him from what I have seen so far.
11 Mar 2026 21:03:06
I think this will push Nuno to switch to a back 5 -
Hermansen
Todibo
Mavro
Disasi
Awb
Diouf
Soucek
Fernandes
Bowen
Pablo
Castellanos.
10 Mar 2026 18:11:37
We can agree to disagree, but he looks nervous defending, looks unfit, and offers nothing going forward. He gets the ball and gives it to the left centre back. Positioning is suss too.
