If you believe Capology, Lamptey is on £35k a week, Webster £55k.

We moan about our season, but Brentford really are having a mare.

This is where I am. I think if we were going to go big, I was sure we'd have done it last Summer - ambitious, converted manager and Europe for the first time, combined with big player losses Mwepu, Trossard, Mac Allister, Sanchez, Caicedo and income. But really - apart from Pedro - it was...

I wonder if this is what RDZ meant when he said his players follow him too much and need to take their own initiative more. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/cy0znp2vgrpo.amp

And Webster. And was getting 38 year old Milner in really a good idea to use up one of these slots?

Levy signed Maddison from Leicester last Summer for £40m. We wouldn't pay £40 m in January, and offered £20 m. If it comes down to the player, is he going to push to join Brighton or his mate at Tottenham, who pay more and who will be playing European football next season?

Exactly, you didn't have to be Mystic Meg in the Summer to predict that Lallana and Lamptey would be injured for a decent part of the season. On paper it may have looked like a good squad size, but with seven of the squad aged 32 and over, (and four teenagers) limiting minutes and injuries was...

We won't get Dewsbury-Hall, he'll be above our price bracket, have better options than us (Tottenham most likely) - and Naylor reported as much last week.

Totally agree, but it's interesting that - apart from once - we haven't dropped more than two places each season.

Those in charge of squad planning for this season (Barber, Weir, Jewell?) need to take their fair share of the criticism of where we are now. Failure to plan properly had caused a domino effect of injuries! How many of us bemoaned the right/left back situation in the Summer? Veltman at 32...

Seems crazy to blame RDZ when our medical department upped and left at the start of the season.

Maybe RDZ is actually worried about our form / his job / the media talk about him getting the push, and decided we were probably going to get beat by City so best to keep as many players fresh for Bournemouth, which will be a hard game but easier to win than City.

Banner idea for the Villa game!

Naylor reported this week that the potential Summer tour to Japan is somewhat on hold because it's not yet known if Mitoma could play a part in it due to his injury.

The crocodile.

The 'buff physios' that gained notoriety were Adam Brett and Vican During. Brett was Head of Medical and Performance and left in August. In December 2023 it was reported that During - who was Club Doctor - had also left. He most likely left before it was reported as he hadn't been seen on the...
