I don’t think Souttar will sign as he’ll look at it as to much of a backwards step. These where two player reports from the Leicester v Shrewsbury Harry Souttar: His large frame is something that Leicester’s defence has been without for some time. He reads the play incredibly well and was smart by dropping deep when defending to make up for his lack of pace. Tom Cannon: Linked-up with play well by dropping deep to collect the ball and playing off the rushing players. Showed good pace and strength to beat defenders to the ball. The game slowed down in the latter stages meaning he didn’t get as much space as he would have liked.

Personally I'd like to see a CF leading the line and defenders playing a high line.

New head of recruitment has warned all staff about leaking any potential incomings, hence it being quiet but plenty of irons in the fire in and out If that is true it’s another page in the book of control freak management that seems to be in operation now . It’s pointless. Sooner or later someone will take a wild punt and hit the nail on the head . What then ? A witch hunt to find the person who has allegedly leaked . It’s a nonsense . Agents will leak . The players entourage too . It seems to me that the Walters/Huth/Leicester /Cannon/Souttar link is alive and kicking . Expect most incomings to have some link to SJW - debate Surely that is just expecting them to behave in the professional manner that would be expected in any other industry?

So you'd expect an agent not to hawk his player around playing one club off against another/others or plant stories to try to smoke out other interest. Think I might be tempted to say here Eff off I might as well do it myself. It's what they do. All this secret squirrels shit is bizarre.

No. I am saying I would expect the club staff to behave in a professional manner. What the agents do is up to them.

So you'd have no problem with an agent leaking or the staff at any other club he subsequently talks to leaking. No problem with him leaking to the press and media who are then employed to spread the leak to as many people as they possibly can but would still make a massive issue of leaks from within. Kind of makes a mockery of leaks being much of an issue at all, No?? Not that from what I've read that's Darnbrough's game it seems he expects all the other shit not to happen either.

Having spent my career in an industry where I was expected to maintain a professional level of discretion I have to say I find it bizarre that you have no issues with your employees acting in a completely unprofessional (and untrustworthy) manner. I assume your management have no problems with you gossiping about the details of your business?

A manager once told me I wasn't to speak to a person who had actually been my line manager only days before hand, that worked well, not. Realistically it's virtually impossible to control who people talk to or what they discuss just don't say too much to people you don't trust and don't trust people too easily.

I bloody hope we're after a No9. I know very little about Cannon either only basic stats. I'm not keen on wandering CF's though.

I wouldn't call it a brag hundreds of thousands/millions of civil service and services personnel have to sign it. No sign no job. I doubt more than a small proportion ever think about it again in their lives. Why would it be a brag it's meant to show people sign things far beefier than Darnbrough's NDA's or whatever they are and still talk quite freely without ever thinking about them.

Signing the OSA and talking 'about whatever you want' is absolutely fine, provided you're not crossing any boundaries.

Signing the OSA and talking 'about whatever you want' is absolutely fine, provided you're not crossing any boundaries. Tried to explain my reasoning above. I'm also sure I've discussed things I wasn't meant to but much depends on who you're discussing it with. In an awful lot of cases many of them will have signed it too. Certainly not meant to give the impression I've been shouting official secrets from the rooftops.

I would still be very pleased if we brought BTA in from WBA as our main forward. I think that would bring us more goals because of his pace and power. Even if we paid up to £4M I think this would be good business for us. I also think his pace and power would lead to Manhoef and Junho scoring a lot more than last season. I really can't see Shampton being in for him as a PL team, I just think that is agent talk. Make it happen Stoke!!!

Neither are silky footballers but imo BTA's attributes are better than Brown's

I'm mystified why a local team doesn't take a punt on Paul Mullin. Still only 28. Gets a chance and it's in the onion bag, I'm sure 1 million would be enough and he'd come A friend of mine played against him, he said it was the hardest 90 mind pf his life, never stops running, all elbows and dark arts. Not quick but good in the air but a nuisance He's just got promoted to league one and that's probably about his level isn't it? He might as well keep on riding the wave at Wrexham where he's a hero and tv star 😂 He’s also earning far more from his exposure through Wrexham than we could offer salary.
