Cycle begins once again. Now we have a Mendes approved manager and will no doubt be bringing in more Mendes approved players. Going on last season's success in how collectively that worked, I'm pessimistic for next season unless results show otherwise. Like Lambert wasn't, Nuno will have to be...

I agree with this. Getting rid of Jackett who didn't deserve it was what destabilised last season and started this merry-go-round. Lambert doesn't deserve to be pushed/pressured to leave, or sacked given he came into the job in the middle of the season.

Is there a list or reference anywhere of everyone who's contracted for next season?

My emotions are basically all the mind=blown gifs you could post. Welcome back Stears! Adeus, Williamson!

How does Bod, Gladon, Dicko and Mason fit into a starting XI? Expensive signing to be just a backup.

All these international signings remind me of whenever I played FM years ago and signed all these players from Europe my scouts rated 7 stars. I hope it works out (SFSG) and isn't just an agent circlejerk. The pudding will be when they make transfers for players already in England.

Yeah this week noted the same audio problems that plagued the pod last year. Not including squeaky mic. I listen on an ipad with earphones, because it's not the best sound level for listening as background noise in a room (which I can do with some pods I listen to), but find when the music plays...

This is my go at a depth chart of the 24 first teamers listed in OP. GK: Ikeme, Flatt CB: Batth, Hause, Williamson, Ebanks-Landell RB: Doherty, Iorfa LB: Deslandes DM: Coady, Saville CM: Macdonald, Price, Evans AM: Edwards RW: Zyro, Henry, Wallace, Byrne LW: Graham, Hunte ST: Dicko, Mason...

I'd say it's a number 10 in the sense of a second striker who's playing deeper than a creative playmaker. As you mentioned, in the role Edwards played.

You know what's worse than a player being in the middle of wrecking your [local] club after his wife and uncle got handouts to circumvent the salary cap? 6 months later he's back playing for the same team. :wallbash: Ran back to Aus from Thailand because he couldn't hack it there so not sure...

So it seems Mason is by consensus overpriced at £3-£3.5mill. However does the market really reflect that? Someone with more idea than me (I don't follow other Champ teams closely) can you say what is generally seen as the value for a young striker that hopefully can score around 10+ goals a...

Thanks for all the podcasts guys. Just technical feedback - your audio problems from a few months ago are back. I don't understand the technical details but for whatever reason when speaking it is hard to hear you speak unless the volume is right up, but laughter is very loud in comparison and...

Better to get something good for him now by selling high, which clearly The Cherries are happy to do. The only problem is that it leaves us short up front with Dicko still out? Hopefully we can grab the next Afobe from the lower divisions before the deadline.

St.Lukes was the only question that tripped me up.

Rowe is seen by KJ as more a left-sided player I think? We have good midfield depth now: Mcdonald, Price(def), Edwards(att), Evans, Wallace(att), Coady(def), Saville (def). It does mean we don't have to rely on Edwards/Evans more next season and there's plenty of options should Kenny decide on...
