We did the same with that bloke with the fit wife didn’t we?

Was it Klopp who kept a player called Alberto Moreno around because he was so popular and was so professional and upbeat in training it helped the squad, even when he wasn’t good enough to start anymore?

If Bugiel signs and is willing to give me his address I can join him and reeves in the car to and from home games. Imagine the performance levels I could get out of them with a 2 hour pep talk on the way there.

Makes sense now, Omar gets a chauffer if he signs, his driver has been contracted for next year,

We need either Bugiel or someone who plays like he does. We’ve seen how hard it is to play when we’re under pressure and have no one as an out ball. Good teams were a nightmare as the ball just kept coming back at us.

Our season being safe with a game to go, and also not having to go through the playoffs, should do two things. Give our players a couple of weeks extra rest, and allow CC and team more time in the transfer window with the knowledge of what division we'll be playing in

Bugiel lives close to SwinDon. He car shares with Reeves.

Is Gillingham more local for Bugiel or will it be easier for him to get to anyway? Thought i heard he lives a bit away

re: Bugiel - why stay at AFCW and end up in L2 in 2027/28 when you can join Gillingham and get there straight away?

Bugiel hasn’t gone yet he might just be using Gillingham as leverage for more money

Thanks Papers. So my recollection of seeing him at KM must be wrong. I blame age...

Kitey - it wasn't a raging argument as such. He was being led along the touchline by stewards and as he passed me, I said "Nice haircut". At which point he turned to see who had made the comment, and when he saw I was sporting a worse mullet than he was he went off on one, screaming "you can talk!!". Several times. Each time getting louder. Lukeyboy who was escorting him didn't appreciate my comment as it made Mr Berry even harder to deal with.

I heard some championship clubs are looking to sign Tolaj since Plymouth missed out on the playoffs. He’d have been an excellent Wimbledon player.

On my records Mr Waehler played at least 6 games for the reserves in 1999/2000 - Charlton Athletic (at Welling), The Arsenal (Boreham Wood), Leicester (Filbert Street), The Arsenal (Sutton U), Crystal Palace (National Sports Centre) and Southampton (Sutton U)

Trigg - I guess the hope is to sign a couple of diamonds in the rough from non league, but this time actual goods ones, like Tolaj was when he was at Aldershot…

He’s gonna need to work his best magic ever even if we have our biggest budget ever. League One is going to be the toughest it’s been in years and we can’t turn up with a potato gun and crayoned-cardboard shield.

With Bugiel gone and no Tilley, I hope CC is all over the retained/released lists - I’m sure he’s already got his eye on a couple…. 🤞

thanks Lurker!

I’ve seen a rumour that Reeves’ extension was triggered by games played.

Clapdonn- from what’s happened over the years etc. I’ve worked out we offer a contract where we know we want them, we know what we’re prepared to offer. The phrase now seems to include where we’ve had some level of conversation that confirms they either want to stay or are willing to consider. The in discussions is where we want them but don’t know what they want to do, don’t know where we stand on what they might want and/or potentially want to change how we’re going to use them, e.g. expect to be a starter or back up.

John Gault - Hughes was listed as inured a couple of times near end of season.

My recollection of Maccarena chants usually involve package size and gait, followed by the players name. Ie mouse, tortoise Joe bloggs

Morning all. Yes, I think I also saw Mr Waehler in actual existence, but I'm sure it was at GGL instead

Was standing close, but not next, to the great Sandy at Whtyeleafe, when he had a raging argument with the ex Sutton Utd player Gynme Berry after he was sent off
