Where are the "new signing" articles that Clive usually post? Is he away? Those are just about my favorite features of loftforwords. Usually provides great insights. |

Is it fact that CN make the call of Walsh, the game plan, the fitness strategy, etc?
I'm not saying its not, but why are people saying it is so? I mean, where is the evidence that CN said "Walsh #1" and JS just went with it? |

Agreed. If 6 weeks ago you would have been offered these transfers, we'd snap off your hand.
Signed two strikers, two wingers (assuming Saito joins), addressed the CDM and LB positions, injected some pace (also in defence). Everything we have been crying for.
Even signs we are starting to offload some of the flops.
Obviously not a great start on the pitch, but I have hopes it will come good. |

I was under the impressing that Saito was at the end of his contract and would have been a free agent this summer. Either he resigned with Lommel, or I had it all wrong.
Anyway, I am so so happy. Are you happy?
In all seriousness, even though I like having him around, that would not have been the priority for me at the moment. I wonder if Colback is perhaps closer to resigning than what we might think.
We're the next Forest now, just signing players for the sake of others not getting them. |

We'll probably spend that cash all on Saito so "the fans have some entertaining players" again. |

I think we absolutely need to get Hayden in there, if we can fit him into the wage structure. He's proven at this level, knows us should slot straight in, "only" 30, so we can get a few years out of him still while on the other hand he is old enough to count as one as the experienced hands. Makes sense to me on so many levels. |

My son snapped his ACL in January and required reconstructive surgery.
His fysio (specialised on ACLs and working closely with one of Ajax's satellite amateur clubs) says it takes AT LEAST 9 months to fully recover. Said that football players who rush a comeback are risking further and long term damage, not necessarily ACL again, but ankles, knees, everything is vulnerable while the ACL not fully recovered.
Dunno the extent of Ziyad's ACL, but if its torn right off, that's probably the season for him. |

Looking at the starting line-up against Preston and the injury situation, I can understand we are in a dire position and could not go flat-out for this game.
But I am bitterly disappointed with that selection. This is not the way to develop young players imho. You do that by putting them next to experienced guys who can coach and guide them through a game. On field coaching. I doubt they would have learned much from this.
As Mbengue said in his interview, 3-game weeks is their job, so at least 3 or 4 more senior players could have played a bit-part role here. In hindsight, a Colback, Cook and Field in the 2nd half to see the lads through would have been invaluable learning experience and I think we might have pulled it off.
A big mark of disapproval from me. |

Perhaps Celar then staying after all, which means we have (hopefully) Kone, Burrell, Frey and Celar competing for 1 spot. Not sure Kolli is an out-and-out striker, but throw him in the mix anyway. That seems like more than enough options, even allowing for 2 or 3 out injured.
Could always try a dev squadder in case of emergency, but signing a striker who has injury concerns already and discarded after only 6 months by his current club sounds like a red flag to me. |

How is that one coming along?
With half the dev squad reportedly in Plymouth, what sort of team did we field? |

Hope Harvey Vale gets a start, I feel he has been under utilized in pre-season. Keen to see more of him. |

If our injury list isn't bad enough, we now sign player who fail medicals.
As a matter of interest, I assume "failing a medical" can mean a number of things? I remember Ajax's Kanu being diagnosed with a heart condition during one of those, but perhaps it could simply mean "not match fit" ? Or failed a drugs test?
And I asume one's club medical is not the same as the other's.
Someone with more knowledge help me out here. |

Where does Kone rank of the pace-o-meter? Kelman never struck me as particularly fast and able to outsprint a defence. Kone? Because a lot of our signings (attack especially) seems to be focussed on injected pace. |

I see Harrison Ashby has been getting some game time at Newcastle in preseason. Even started against Atletico Madrid.
I liked the look of him, although very naive at times and short of experience. |

Best part of this interview was his response to the 3-game weeks: “its tough, but its our job”. Love that attitude. |

Should have put a winky there.
All in all, "only" 5 injured (Paul Smyth also out, I missed that in the original report.) which normally is ok, but for a season start not good and some keys names in that group.
It does mean Celar is fit, so unless they are keeping info from us (they wouldn't, would they?) there is something else brewing if he is not in the match-day squad. |

Akpom was absolutely woeful while at Ajax. Clearly a level (or two) above his capabilities. Will probably do well at BCFC.
He was one of the Mislintat buys that almost ruined Ajax and will take a couple of years to recover from. They spent I think 110m euros on absolute crap players and now they (a) are short of quality to compete at the levels they are used too, (b) don't have money left to find better replacements and (c) are stuck with these palookas on long expensive contracts. Trying to offload whoever they can for whatever they can get.
They tried a QPR there.
I took my daughter to her very first Ajax game at that time, the big home clash vs Feyenoord. Game was abandoned after crowd through stuff on te pitch in protest and Mislintat was fired soon after. [Post edited 4 Aug 9:09]
