It's such a short summer break, no surprises Matt's looking to do his business early. I assume the winter world cup has meant an earlier start this season. Winter break will be most welcome. League 2 doesn't stop for the world cup. Only prem and championship. Right you are. Any idea why the league is starting a week earlier this season?

I can only think that the EFL want their leagues to start on the same day, and by doing a week earlier, it can help mitigate a bit for the championship. Next season all 3 divisions also will end on the same weekend, unlike this season when L1 ended a week early.

Apparently according to a reliable source on the NTT20 forum Rotherham are showing an interest in David Ajiboye.
Personally not sure he’s Championship level yet.

They certainly won’t be the only club interested. Suspect there will be several offers.

Not surprised about the interest in David. As been said earlier possibly more clubs could be interested. He is the first of several who could be approached!? What is the position regarding contracts for our " stars" Are they still in contract?

Terry, Matt and Jason would have done their homework. Let’s just be patient.

Terry, Matt and Jason would have done their homework. Let’s just be patient. Spot on. At this time last year we had no idea who was off, who was coming in and if I recall correctly all "gossip" ended up being incorrect.

Unplayable on his day but doesn't yet have the consistency to make a mark at that level. Also needs to stop falling over when no one is around him.

Definitely a bit of composure in front of goal is his main thing to work on. But he’s a game changer and has looked a threat against sides in higher leagues. I would be shocked if he isn’t picked up by someone in League 1 or above. A great age with plenty of time to improve/peak. It’s hardly going to be a surprise to our management team what players attract attention and we know Matt has detailed plans and knowledge of who he might bring in as replacements. Doesn’t mean it will be easy nor necessarily always work. But he’s got a very good record to date!!

Also needs to stop falling over when no one is around him. He’d fit in well in the Championship. He has speed - you either have it or you don’t. That alone will attract interest, it’s highly valued. Clubs higher up will take a gamble because of that. My team bought Sorba Thomas from Boreham Wood a couple of seasons ago for about £130k, got him up to speed over a few months in the reserves, and this season he’s possibly top of the assists in the Championship and made his debut for Wales. Value now? Maybe £8m. I’d be surprised if there wasn’t interest in Ajiboye.

That would depend upon his length of contract and also a lot depends upon whether he is happy at Sutton whether he would want to move on.

We had all of this speculation last season and in January. If David played as well as he did at Newport every week he would start every game in the championship but he doesn’t.
