that was a fucking great performance. properly organised full press, committed defending, bang on
been a while since charlie left but i am happy to announce pawel wszolek is officially my new man crush. like a big handsome unstoppable polish train steaming up and down that right side. (jamie mackie in one of the most seemingly cokeheaded postmatch interviews ever seen was informed wszolek was motm and walked away saying "animal, animal"). full marks to darnell furlong behind him too

Henri Lansbury's exit from Nottingham Forest is being negotiated by a former team-mate in an apparent breach of Football Association rules.
The player involved is Rotherham striker Dexter Blackstock.
One Premier League club has walked away from a deal after discovering that Blackstock was representing Lansbury in his move from Nottingham Forest.
Another Championship club has confirmed that they were told to contact the 30-year-old Millers’ striker if they wanted to sign Lansbury.
The FA did not wish to comment, but their rules state: “Only individuals and companies registered with The FA as intermediaries are authorised to conduct Intermediary Activity on behalf of Players and Clubs playing football in England.”
Lansbury’s licensed agent is Simon Kennedy.

desperate times, down to 10 men and reduced to playing an old knackered CB lag as a forward for the last 5 mins. But oddly it sounds like an equaliser might be on.

It looks like we are going for a Bundesliga II striker - Terrence Boyd and QPR are in for Ward now. Apparently we wouldn't pay the 2m + or whatever Rotherham wanted for him, it looked nailed on that he was coming back last week even his brother was saying he was returning.
― calzino, Monday, 16 January 2017 11:40 (seven years ago) link
we'll not spend that much. reported rejected bid is £1.3m
some are saying you have a 40% sell-on on him
― r|t|c, Monday, 16 January 2017 14:32 (seven years ago) link
yeah we definitely have a high sell-on because he was our 2nd biggest ever transfer fee when he signed from Bolton, I think our chairman stated at the time we took a loss on him but put a high sell on in case he got his act together. I'd still have him back, he was very inconsistent and lazy, but never any doubt on his ability. Some of our lot are very hostile to him but he had about 7 goals and 12 assists (or something like that) in his last season for us and this was when he wasn't even firing on all cylinders.
― calzino, Monday, 16 January 2017 14:58 (seven years ago) link
wiki says he got 10 goals in his penultimate season for us - probably the one I'm thinking of.
― calzino, Monday, 16 January 2017 15:04 (seven years ago) link
imo he could be the shrewd bargain of the window. If he was a Derby player his value would be inflated to 6m probably.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/jan/19/millwall-stadium-false-funding-claims-the-den
According to documents seen by the Guardian, even as the foundation was being awarded half a million pounds by Lewisham council in July 2014 its website still listed its phone number as 01234657890, which connected to an automated message advertising that number for sale. On the same website the Surrey Canal Sport Foundation’s official address was recorded as 29 Acacia Road; an apparently unconnected location in north London that appears, in a bizarre detail, to be a bodged version of the home address of the cartoon superhero Bananaman.
― r|t|c, Thursday, 19 January 2017 21:04 (seven years ago) link
The foundation does have fine aims for its future expansion. Currently it hosts the London Thunder basketball team and has 20 ping-pong tables available for public use.

Rotherham boss Paul Warne has slapped a £5million price tag on sought-after striker Danny Ward.
― r|t|c, Thursday, 19 January 2017 21:24 (seven years ago) link
I see Smithies has finally settled in the South, he must have found out they have cricket clubs and places almost as weird as the Holme Valley down there in Windsor as well.
If we aren't signing Ward a desperate deadline day bidding war for him wouldn't harm us financially. It looks like we are still after Boyd, but talks have stalled over wages/contract length or something. I think I'd actually prefer Ward tbh, cos Boyd looks like a decent targetman type, but poor with the ball at his feet. I just feel Wagner could turn Ward into a right player and he is more versatile and could play behind Nahki or be cover.

idk i think he's rated about right m/l? seems he may have evolved a bit (newcastle and norwich were steady hand on the tiller jobs, and the latter were unreasonably pedestrian in the prem), this brighton side have a bit more devil than his usual collectively (gaming the ref all the bloody time) and individually (knockaert). also impressive that he brought on solly march with 10v11 at 1-1 last night

rly looking forward to our game fyi. think we hit on something genuinely v promising in the last game vs reading - hall anchor/sweeper, luongo and manning box-to-box, furlong at rb, and 2 workhorse wing-forwards let us go 433, 451, 343 during play quite well imo.
proper stress test now vs probably best midfield in the division on their day, could get mullered back to square one, could enshrine the blueprint for the next 18 months. plus fulham are flaky up front and in defence, plus it's a derby, plus the utter cunt powers that only bloody gave us keith stroud again...

keith stroud should have been given the season off after last week
morgan fox to wednesday was a bit weird, but frame it as 'decent defensive young full-back with a fairly good cross and height at set-pieces' and marry it to wednesday's weird hoarding policy and you can see it as an investment. this is the club where reda johnson became a thing remember. obviously our morons are desperately casting about for someone else to scream abuse at when they haven't done anything wrong. ah well. we'll always have his goal against your lot eh lol
