Spanish Dave

so, we play the whole of August with a weakened squad?

No, it doesn't imply we won't be strengthening the squad before the end of August.

If it's over its a sad sad day, hopefully as Spanish Dave has professed his love for us all in this letter to the Argus I can only hope that there may be some way back.

This saga with Gus is having unwanted negatives. Hope it is sorted out soon.

I'm still clinging on to the hope that there will be some Calderon-esque reversal and that this is just mind games.

Plleeeeeaaaassseee

A sorry day when once has to read the Dear Juan scrawled purposefully but with emotion in a note on the inside of your diary. I have very warm memories of Spanish Dave beyond the magical freekick moment. All his hard work and determination to play a team game had me admire him and i'm rather sad to see the back of him. I appreciate thoroughly his heartfelt farewell though and have faith in that he enjoyed his experience with us.
I hope we get people in soon as the market is active and we don't want to be left behind, picking up the dribs and drabs at the end of the transfer window's midnight, no matter how excellent they can sometimes turn out to be. Those purchases should be the extras to the spine already clearly in place and rock solid. A side the same rarely greatly excels, and especially when a few of its key assisters have upped and left.

What's happening with Dean Hammond? I thought he was released yesterday by Southampton, but I don't know whether we're considering getting him back or not. He looked sharper than Crofts last season.

Naylor tweet. Sensible for once.

Judgement on the strength of the squad should be reserved until Sept 1, once the transfer window has closed. #bhafc

Brilliant.....that says absolutely nothing!

If, as the Argus says, O G did not want him in his squad.....then that is his decision....However, O G will be judged on these decisions - they had better be right !

where does it say OG did NOT want him ?

i only have on-line version which says: " They insist they were given no deadline to sign a deal but believe head coach Oscar Garcia did want him as part of the squad. "
