Northern Red

I see Sinckler has been left out of England's 6 Nations squad, which would appear to confirm that he'll be off to France at the end of the summer.

Would like to think he'll be in and around our squad next season.

Did Fabianski actually make contact with Tommy? I wasn't sure he had.

Friday.

Long long time since we have had a player like Williams 

I loved it

Changed your tune from the Millwall game then, where you wanted him fined and dropped for his behaviour?

Here's a novel concept - the club can print them their-selves and avoid this bollix in future.

Not every invention causes actual progress.

It'll be down to the short timeframe for selling. They'd either have been at the mercy of the postal system in its' current state or those queues to get in last night would have been queues to collect instead.

For anyone who hasn't heard it, the OSIB 'cider with' Jonathan Pearce is incredible. Never heard someone talk so emotionally about a football club. He basically grew up around the club, knew the players and even went to away games on the team coach. He talks about Gerry Gow like he was a member of his family.

He mentioned last night about how he was in the dressing room after we beat Leeds in 1974, and Don Revie coming in to congratulate them.

When he started talking about us having plenty of cult heroes I did wonder if he was going to list them all, but he left it at Gow.

TGH might be in a bit of retrospective bother for that incident with Cresswell if the ref says he hasn't seen it.

Lovely

Theyve just gone through pretty much the full repertoire at half time

According to the Telegraph, TNT have the rights to the India tour. Official announcement tomorrow but will be world feed commentary with studio presentation.

Talksport have the radio rights.

If Ian Gay says there's an option that's good enough for me.

The insinuation that anyone daring to question the process here is "pining for Nige" is getting more than a bit boring tbh.

To be fair, I don't think I've seen one person criticise the move because they don't think he's a good player or that he won't improve us or make us better to watch. I think everyone is pretty much agreed on that.

But anyone who doesn't have at least some nagging questions about the strategy at play here must be very trusting of those in charge, and I would argue more trusting than they've shown they merit in recent months.

Why?

You said that "pretty much everyone" wants us to sign Prem loans.

That statement is utter bollocks and you know full well that it is.

Just now, BasSavage88 said:

The loan market used correctly get teams promoted, Nigel Pearson is an idiot for not using it.

Scott twine will play how Manning wants and this in turn will get us playing better. 

Would people rather we signed some no mark from league 1 instead just because he's ours? 

That's all very nice but it has nothing to do with what you posted, does it?

Pretty much everyone said use the loan market to sign young premier league players (which usually wouldn't have a option to buy).

We literally have just done that 

Wrong.

I don't suppose we'll find out how much the loan fee is?

We'll only know with hindsight, but right now it smacks of the sort of desperation we've just spent 3 years moving away from.

I hope we give him bit more of a send off than that when he ‘officially’ leaves.

Why would we not?

Means he can't play against us of course.

As a Premier league player, he's likely to be coming in as one of and if not our highest earners. 

That's not an issue as long as it's not out of kilter with the rest of the squad. I The aim that was often stated by Nige was to have a much more concentrated wage level amongst the squad, so we have to trust that will be adhered to.

He's injured anyway isn't he?

£2.5m is much more like it.

And yeah, they were talking nonsense in the summer. But then they've made a habit of that in recent months.
