Just off topic (sorry) but sounds like things are kicking off at Stoke. Loads of rumours on X and the oatcake. One being that Ainsworth has been seen around the Bet365. Their DoF Ricky Martin picked the team on Saturday, the players don't like Schumacher and he could be on his way.

I Agree with you 

Deeney would defo be a good fit for us right now

Troy Deeney would be massive for us, really can't see it. Smacks of a Lee Hughes 'vibe' (that's the in-word these days is it not?)😀

Conner beat a good rumour!

I've seen the supposed message, and anyone could have written that couldn't they.

Ainsworth seen down there, if they were going to be so underhand towards Schumacher they'd do it out of plain sight.

More than likely the Ainsworth naming suggests it's a Vale fan that's started this on a wind up

Wish we had seen more of him before he went back. Looked lively and pacey. A nightmare for defenders to deal with. 

Didn't seem to get the minutes did he at all. Then obviously got injured for Wales.

His sheer pace caused the winner at Charlton. And I think he scored a nice goal against Sutton. But generally was underused .

Ben Williamson had pace but was erratic. I think Thomas didn't really fit our system 🤔.

I think the thing that finished Thomas off was Loft getting fit. He was featuring from time to time until he played a couple of games with Loft and as a duo they were completely ineffective. We lost a midfielder and never held the ball up up top so lost our ability to dominate possesion.

We’ve got a system??

Message for him I refuse to name or acknowledge. Mbappe has agreed to join Real Madrid, so cross him off your list of UnReal expectations. 

Just realised Cambridge have 9 strikers on the books. 9! Do you reckon they might take pity and let us borrow one for the run in? 

Names that have been mentioned on here in recent times too. Lyle Taylor, Kachunga, Bonne. Ahadme on loan from Ipswich has scored 7 in 20 this season for them.

Yes but we nearly signed him, and that is a valid defence of the DoF somehow.

I nearly won the Lottery, just 4 numbers short. I thought I was going to win it right up to the last minute deadline until they only pulled 2 of my numbers out.

I had the penthouse in dubai ready to purchase on my phone

Literally some of the most exclusive rolex watches right here ready to buy on my phone

 

I too thought I would win the lottery right up until the last minute

That’s the end of that then 😂

Will probably still see him score goals..against us that is. I know he probably wanted loads of money but the reality is, it just again underlines the sad reality that strikers are out there for us…but it is the money that isn’t.
