I’ll be amazed if they don’t smash this league. They’ve got a mid table championship team
They really haven't.
Without a points deduction they’d still be in the Championship. These players are Championship quality:
GK: Bailey Peacock-Farrell
FB’s: Jack Hunt, Liam Palmer
CB’s: Dominic Iorfa, Sam Hutchinson, Chey Dunkley
Midfield: Barry Bannan, George Byers, Massimo Luongo, Lewis Wing, Dennis Adeniran, Marvin Johnson
Strikers: Callum Paterson, Josh Windass
That’s not including Lee Gregory or any others they sign. There’s also fringe players like Andre Green, Shodipo, Dele-Bashiru and Alex Hunt.
I disagree about some of them but either way assuming all of them will still be there when the window shuts is a big assumption. Wouldn't surprise me if some are going by Saturday.

I’ve only included the players that have spent a significant part of their career in the Championship, so I’m not sure who you would say isn’t Championship quality.
I thought they’d go too, but they’re on such high wages it seems they’ll only get that sort of money at Sheffield Wednesday. Barry Bannan has already said he’s not leaving, so I wouldn’t bank on their team drastically changing.

You could have said last season the majority of our squad had played a significant part of their careers in the championship or higher.... Would you say they were all championship quality?
Safe to say there is no new signing in the squad for Saturday then, not sure what the deadline is but doesn’t sound like anything close at all just a couple of Twitter rumours.
Short term worry is the MK dons game which is midweek, surely Innis is not gonna do Saturday/Tuesday already, as well as maybe Washington and any others who pick up knocks.

Well we certainly underachieved last season.
I recall our Championship experienced players being in their 30’s and seeing out their career. Pearce, Watson, Pratley and Gunter were in different stages of their careers than say Josh Windass, Iorfa, Luongo, Byers, Dunkley or Paterson. Barry Bannan’s 31 but he’s still a top player.
Adam Matthews and Ben Amos weren’t seeing out their careers, but I’d say they’re good enough to play in the Championship.
Sheff Wed squad will look diff come end of Aug.. they have to cut their wage bill as the have a points deduction hanging over them if they break the rules again

They've already cut it enough. Comment from a Wednesday fan "Rhodes was 35k a week, Reach was 24k a week, Tom Lees 20k a week, Borner 18k, Izzy brown 20k, a week etc..."
Crazy money, releasing Rhodes would probably cover most of our squad

MK Dons is the week after next, so still a bit of time to get some bodies in before then.

I guess our ambition in the transfer windows now has dropped to "just getting bodies" by opening day. Aiming high, we are.

Could you? No more than 7/8, that's not the majority of the squad.
I'd like us to try to get Baah on loan from Watford. He is at an age where he has to play games and it is surely unlikely he will feature in the Premier League, although not impossible. If Watford decide it is a bit early for him, we ought to be there ready.
Interesting call Muttley. Baah was let go by Palace at 14, he wasn't dedicated enough by his own admission, and his main claim to fame up to that point was when he was a ball boy at Palace he ran on the pitch and placed the ball for Adrian to take a goal kick for West ham as he was wasting time. He entered the kinetic foundation where he played football and went to school. As he was a big lad (6ft now) he played a 1st team game for Whyteleafe at 15( I was at a Cafc game otherwise I would have sent an email to Steve Avory !)
When he scored his first goal for Rochdale, (he signed for them when he was 16 after a trial) against Wimbledon I believe, I was made aware of his talents by one of the coaches at kinetic and Whyteleafe who said he's an erratic player but is like a younger raw version of Michail Antonio. I said I hope not, as the last time I saw MA play at the Valley he left Harriot and Wilson for dead when he cut in from the left and scored with his right with a power shot.
When Baah took advantage twice of our defending( didn't we play 3 at the back with Smyth as a wing back ?) and hit rockets that Amos lost sight off from the same position I realized that you must do your home work with opposition players. I honestly don't think the information had worked it way to Bowyer or the coaches.
In the second half Baah was ineffective but he had scored his brace and the Man city Scouts were watching.( Whyteleafe and Kinetic coach had recently left to take a coaching job with City) The deal broke down, but he still got a move to Watford. Watford paid Rochdale who then payed a development fee to the kinetic foundation.
I know guys in football who know him well but if he goes on loan it will be to the Championship. I will try to find out because he would be a great asset to Cafc for one season and his family and friends live in South London. He can play on either side. Unfortunately lots of good young talent are going higher than Cafc now including 17 year old Courtney Clarke who signed for Derby County 6 months ago. CC is a midfield player.
Getting promotion and getting Cat A status is so important for Cafc. Hopefully not owning Sparrows lane won't be a stumbling block.
Im getting to old for all this, why don't people just say what they bleeding mean- yes i'm coming or do you think i'm bleeding mad if they are not.
Couldn't agree more mate, just speak bloody English!! It's the same as "my bad", just say "mistake", the world's gone mad! Or is there a different saying or word for that? Anyway, did he ignore/not reply?

I've seen that tweet re Charlie Kirk, excuse my old age ignorance what does "Air if you're coming to Charlton" mean? Is he confirming he is? Also when did we let Gomes go?
It means ignore / don't reply if you're coming to Charlton. A highly sophisticated technique to extract information I must say.
Fucking hell, this bloke’s annoyed me already. Hope we don’t sign him.
I always find plain English is better , even with typo errors.
God , I hate things like ," back in the day". Which fucking day ? The can't be arsed to explain brigade or the Kathy Burke, 'know what I mean' mob.
Back in the day I’d have ignored that comment but now I find it very annoying.
Comments
We will see more signings permanent and loan I am sure.
But for me there’s a lot of deadwood in there that wont be particularly motivated by a long slog in league one. Just my opinion.
Classic Rumours thread!
but they did get points deducted and they assembled a squad through cheating. They deserve to be in league 1
