Can’t see us being too interested unless you’re offering a bargain - which I doubt. Can’t see Wolves or Brighton stumping up good money either

Bit surprised he hasn't got a full international call up yet.

Hope we keep him for many more years.

He is contracted till 27 so we don't have to sell.

If he us playing regular in the premiership he will get a cap.

I'm thinking longer than that. Much longer.
Second contract longer. Him and Tanaka
are probably the first two names on the
team sheet right now. I'd love both to be
around to earn their testimonials.

Followed very closely by Rothwell.

Rothwell for sure. Possibly Darlow too. Who knows.

In other news: Sheff U's takeover is complete.

Remains to be seen if this lot or chancers or not.
My Sheff U relatives are cautiously optimistic.
We'll see.

Struijk has done well the last few years in the champ but it’s in a team that doesn’t do much defending (he’s good on the ball).

He was a car crash though in our relegation year. His lack of mobility at that level was exposed, his decision making was shot to pieces, and - played out of position - I think the poor lad just lost confidence. Question is, 2 years on, older and wiser, would he make the step up? Hard to say to be honest. I’d rather we didn’t sell at all, and certainly not mid season, but flip side is we have good cover at cb… so if the cash was reinvested to strengthen the squad… appreciate that’s an if…. It might not be a disaster.

They'll sign players in January before we do.

Relatives think they will too. They also think that
they're in the driver's seat this season. Really hope
our club don't faff around yet again. If they do,
we all know the dangers and risks involved.

I think he would and will. He's matured. Good with
both feet. High IQ. Goal threat. Slowish, yes. But,
I think he benefitted from those years with Bielsa
more than most of that squad.
