Peterborough have not released Luke. I guess my point is that Peterborough paid a lot for Luke James and he is still contracted to them. Despite him not commanding a first team place, they would only want to let him go for a fee, but are happy to loan him to offset the wages. He was 20 yrs old when sold to the Posh, so I don't think any of the young player/ tribunal / etc. applied to him. It seems LJ was signed on a 4 year deal in 2014, given he's moved to us with a view to a permanent deal next summer then you have to assume they just want him off the books, as I doubt we're going to be paying a transfer fee next summer. Unless he re finds his form and we end up with another gaffney situation .

Gaffers long throw to the new centre half from Muff'will be an extra ploy.He has a good record from scoring with headers even as a defender which Steve Parkes sadly didn't. Steve parks was non-exsitant for us on set pieces last year every time the ball went into the box he was nowhere to be seen.

Because there is no evidence of money going towards the future of the club already... Apart from the Wonga loan which was repaid(something that had to be done) and the loan signing of McBurnie, I haven't seen much more evidence. Oh yeah the supporters club shop got a lick of paint... and the small matter of securing £40 million to build a new stadium and the new training ground, but what have the romans ever done for us hey ?

Do you think the good pitch will suit your play ?
Have you seen the pitch ?
Did I mention the pitch, it looks great doesn't it ?

Macron are kit providers to international teams. I don't believe Erra ever were. In all fairness Hugo, I don't think the Micronesia Synchronized Swimming team, not the Khazikstan Baseball team can really be called 'International Teams'! A lot of teams at the euros are wearing Macron and a few prem teams do as well .

Apparently set to join on loan from West Ham. West Ham defender Stephen Hendrie poised for loan switch to Blackburn Rovers Daily Mail - 16 hours ago West Ham defender Stephen Hendrie is close to joining Blackburn Rovers on a season loan ... Report: Stephen Hendrie close to Blackburn Rovers loan HITC - 5 hours ago Blackburn Rovers FC to sign West Ham United FC defender Stephen Hendrie Winner Sports - 26 mins ago I'm not quiet sure but I think i heard from somewhere he's going to Blackburn rovers. Possibly on a season long loan I'm not entirely sure.

Not sure why some people are turning this into an us and them with the uwe ....uwe are not the enemy ! .....they are the people giving the club a serious opportunity to build a new stadium . Don't forget how long and how many sites rovers have looked at over the years. Turning uwe into an opponent is a serious mistake. Agreed im looking forward to teaming up with the UWE , its also a great opportunity to get a some young people into the club looking into sports science , physiotherapy , sports psychology, coaching , scouting e.c.t the opportunities are endless.

This "player" apparently said 'on going talks but funding hard to get as anyone who invests will want a big return on money invested and it will take years and years to make a good return as most clubs lose money'. So definitely not a player then. Hamer confirmed on subs bench funding has been secured so im calling bullshit on that one. amazing how wael has manage to raise 30-40 mill in about 4 months given higgs managed to raise sweet f**k all over 3 years.

Just voicing my disappointment that "Freed from desire" is now a really popular chant. I hated this song when it came out when I was a teenager. I love dance music but this has to be the most boring dirge. Even the woman's voice in the song sounds depressed. It's such a joyless song. Can we just all get back to covers of decent songs not this miserable ballad of despondency. Taylor's on fire !!! Your defence is terrified !! Taylor's on fire !! Na na na na na na na na na

Glad he signed. Sends a good message that were willing to put time and effort into our youth products . I'm confident he can push on this year given he has the opportunity to prove himself at a higher level .

Camels are fairly relevant given the heritage of our wonderful new owner (and Gashead). I say new, but he's starting to seem very much a part of the furniture. So much so that the previous rickety rocking chair of the Higgs era is beginning to seem a long time ago, and the habitat leather full reclining laze-boy we currently accommodate feels as comforting as a waft of newly baked bread. There is an old proverb "a camel is a horse designed by a committee" What this means is that a single vision is often better than something designed to be all things to all people. A Camel has it all - runs for miles, doesn't need much water, bigger, faster. It has a wide range of attributes, whereas a horse is far more temperamental, far more focused and is undoubtedly a better animal as a trusty steed. The more I look at the position of our cities two clubs, I can't help thinking 82ltd are the camel. Part of an outfit which is trying to do everything. One facet of a business strategy. We, on the other hand, have an owner who has said publicly we are his "first and last club". We are the whole story for Wael and his family. I couldn't help leap for joy (psychologically speaking) when he said this. No distractions, no sideshows. Nothing to be put between us, him and the club. As one, all on it together. Time will tell eventually whether I am right but I am looking forward to the next 10 years. I can't wait to see their faces as we overtake them. It's going to happen. I think.
