I'd keep him and it would be a huge shame to see him go. But if someone offers £15m for him, it would be hard to say no wouldn't it? Anyway - Bournemouth will play the waiting game. We have to sell someone if we're spending around £2m on Jacob Brown. Good luck getting money for Butland and/or Ince would be my opening negotiation if I was Bournemouth... Etebo's wages will cover the cost of bringing Brown in. It said in the Sentinel that there was a loan fee for Etebo as well - so wages saved plus loan fee goes a long way towards paying for Brown.

So I buy a 'red' season card and get to see 11 home games live, pay £50 for the streaming service and get to see 11 'white' home games and 7(?) midweek away games, and pay £10 for each of the 'red' and 'white' weekend away games? Not sure I read that correctly but there are not red and white away games. Mid week away games are included in the £50 streaming fee its just any away weekend games that you would need to pay seperately for at £10 each. Yes, that's effectively what I meant! I will have to pay for weekend away games at £10 a game.

So if I buy a season card for, say, the 'red' games, I will get to see 11 home games live, but will I also get the 11 or so away games streamed for free? I know I can buy a streaming pass for £50 to see the other 11 'white' home games I will miss, but I presume I will have to pay £10 for each of the away games? Have I got this right?! You will have to pay for weekend away games. Midweek away games will be included in the stream package.

My guess is he'll follow Jones to Luton on loan. Out of their budget presumably Don't worry about that. We will pay all his wages and give them a few quid to take him off our hands!

This has all the feel of pre-season friendly, with MON still trying to work out the best system and starting line-up. I assume Mikkel is not match fit. I would like to see Tymon figure at some stage. no Butland. Interesting. Tymon isn't on the bench.

If it’s a straight swap can we put valuation down as 3 million and cut Brum out of equation? So that would be 6 million then? 😉

I'm one of those fans that loves a workhorse - Darrell Russell remains one of my favourite all time players. I think Powell covers an immense amount of ground and not only that he puts a tackle or challenge in when he gets there. I'd love to see the distance stats to see whether I'm wrong on this or it's his reputation or even just the fact he mercurial player and is assumed he doesn't do the work. I once saw Daryl Russell in an Indian restaurant in Uttoxeter - but I couldn't be arsed to speak to him.

Didn't really mean wingers in the chalk-on-the-boots, go-round-the-outside Stanley Matthews sense, although that's pretty much the way McClean operates in any system as he's very much an old-fashioned 4-4-2-style wide man I always just mentally refer to even the wider players in a 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 that way. I'm still expecting another player to come in to challenge Ince/Campbell for the role on the right of the attack. I actually thought it suited Campbell quite well. And his goalscoring record from that role was very good, but can't see MON going in with Tyrese as first pick there. And he must be close to giving up on Ince. And while 5-3-2 is an option, it would probably mean only one of Fox and McClean playing - and wouldn't have thought Fox had signed up for a lot of bench duty if he had other options? MON did say the other day Fox was an option as a left-sided CB in a 3 or at wing-back (although that'd mean McClean on the bench which seems unlikely), but got to think he saw him as a steady left-back in a 4 above all? In fact 'steady' was the first word out of MON's mouth to describe what he'd bring to the team. 3 at the back would mean that more than 1 of our boatload of strikers could start though. If 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 is going to be the regular formation, it is going to be almost impossible to see Afobe get much action at all. How much Afobe figures will be one of the more interesting questions, but as you say, wouldn't have thought he'd really be an option in one of the wider forward roles. If we do bring in another front-line right wing option though, it does have the knock-on effect of really limiting Campbell's minutes there, and make Ince pretty redundant - and if we are largely going with one striker, even Campbell might find himself a bit peripheral to start with I get where you are coming from with this - I started watching football in the 70s and for me winger still means someone who goes outside the fullbacks to put in crosses. If you are talking about tucked in wide men in a front three I get where you are coming from - but I think a lot of the replies are from people talking about old school wingers. You are also right in that if we do bring in that sort of player it could marginalise players like Afobe, Campbell, McClean and Ince. Given that Campbell and McClean have played well in those roles, Ince has the potential but hasn't lived up to it and Afobe could be an interesting prospect it's going to be a big ask to get someone better and shift out one or more of the above before the season starts. Ince probably looks the most vulnerable. I think the attacking width is going to be provided by the wingbacks/fullbacks. We have good options there in McClean, Fox and Tymon but are light on the right. Rather than going for an attacking player - I think we could do a lot worse than what we have already - I'd be looking to get in a pacey right back/wingback to provide the attacking width. Call them a defensive winger and we're good.... Tom Edwards?

Thought he was articulate and showed mental agility. Didn’t expect him to be astonishingly incisive abut the team and our particular areas for improvement. Looks promising but everything will rest on how quickly he will achieve match fitness. Share concern by some that a too early return to playing could result in niggling injury. Problem is we need to get off the ground running. Good luck to him - welcome OB1! "If he hadn't had such a good career you'd think he was a blagger listening to that" What a bizarre statement, he has had a good career so you know he's not blagging it....... Exactly! Anybody can talk the talk, but he has walked the walk.
