Anyone heard of Ollie Watkins? Attacking mid... Exeter, was Young POY for L2 this season, 15 goals and 9 assists. Only 21. Attracting interest. Probably great future. Bet we could get for what we sell Holmes for, if we have to.
Will Vaulks, Rotherham's best player. DM. 23. Hates to lose. Once played for free just to get into football. Ours for £400-500k. 1.8m tall. Rangers want him too.
Tom Elliott is a good League One player. Championship? Maybe.
I'd describe him as "fitting their style of play." Big, powerful targetman to provide cover for/challenge Morrison or even Gregory, who isn't that small just quicker.
Under normal circumstances doesn't scream "Championship" signing, but Millwall have a game plan and a way of playing that Elliot will fit into well (what I saw of AFCW they played in a not dissimilar way). 4-4-2, scrappy, get it forward quickly to the two battling forwards, use the wings for crosses, etc. They could get massively found out in the Championship, they could finish midtable. Obviously hope it's the former not only because it's Millwall, but also because I'd really like to see that style of football relegated further and further down the footballing pyramid.

Players being identified here are also without doubt on other teams radars. I really have no confidence that we will persuede in demand players to sign for us over any Championship club and at least 8 or so League One teams. Players and agents know we are a basket case and will look to better prospects elsewhere.
Heard a few rumours that Naby Sarr will be offered a new contract on reduced wages. The club believe that he has shown significant signs of improvement during season abroad.

How would they know? Bet we've only sent someone over to watch him 2/3 times all season, max

He has a long contract on high wages at the moment as I understand it. Why would he accept a reduction?
He only played about 20 games for a team that got relegated from the second division in France where only 3 teams conceded more than Red Star all season. Did he really do that well? I very much doubt it.

Until Duchatelet sells we are set in aspic.
Disagree, certainly when it comes to L1 clubs
Against most L1 clubs, unless someone wants to stay up north, we'll be far more attractive (apart from perhaps Bradford). Players will see the better wages, ground and training facilities. I don't think players care about the off field stuff that much anyway
As for Championship clubs, well that would apply in most cases whoever our owner was.

oh dear another expensive flop!
fear not, Robinson will have a look at him over the summer.
All you moaners need to stop going on about the mistakes, even ones that cost 2m euros and £8k pw in wages. They have learnt from them and they are in the past same as all the others so don't mention them again.
Let's wait and see what the squad is like in August (again) get behind the team and stick our fingers in our ears when anyone points out what a mess it is.
Remember, we have a top six budget, the £55m debt doesn't matter, the club isn't for sale, the training ground work has only been delayed by two years and it could be worse so careful what you wish for.

Didn't Katrien have a hen do at some point this season. Perhaps she fitted a game in during the hen do

It would be nice to have some positive news...
