21 hours ago21 hr ACD came on as a sub v Tromso away in the Europa Conference. Didn't.have much of an impact but then neither did anyone else. 0-0 draw.Looks like Minteh might be off to Liverpool. They have had a bid rejected, but may go back with a bigger one, I suppose.

This makes his transfer less attractive to dozens of teams who could afford the alleged £10+ million fee wanted by Brighton.Maybe a loan is still not out of the question?
13 hours ago13 hr I thought qualifiers had an exemption now? They do in the Champions LeagueI think they reset from group games to knockout rounds too
13 hours ago13 hr I wonder if we’re showing any interest in young Danny Ormerod at Fylde? Twenty years old, scored 31 in 43 games last season and is in the last year of his current contract. Very quick and likes to run in behind which I thought was the type we were looking for. Posh and Rotherham two of the clubs interested by all accounts and we know how good Posh have been at unearthing young talent in the past. Probably a fraction of what we’d be paying for Kenny or Dean and maybe one to be developed alongside young Ritchie?
13 hours ago13 hr No relation to Brett by the way.. I've seen him play.. He's very sharp, but he can be easily knocked about in physical games. I think he's had a few suitors but all have put off by Fylde's asking price. They're owned by a pretty wealthy benefactor

They both need development obviously but for me if you’re good enough you’re old enough. I wouldn’t have a problem with Ritchie staying here and pushing for a first team place but obviously if we get the likes of Kenny or Dean then he’s not going to play and would be better loaned where he can get first team football, or would you disagree?

At one point last season, we had no right winger and no left centre back, but our young right winger and young left centre back were both out on loan.

10 hours ago10 hr Popular Post I maintain Warren would have given us more than Apter, and Inwood more than Taylor.
10 hours ago10 hr Just now, Rival Son said:I maintain Warren would have given us more than Apter, and Inwood more than Taylor.Spot on. Got to have faith in our youngsters at some point. Ritchie as back up for McAtee on a 9 man bench would be absolutely fine by me. Doesn't necessarily mean he has to play as we'd have Hardie as a different type of option, but gets him some experience if the situation suits.
