Now that its confirmed I'm just wondering if anyone is going to the Friendly in Vienna next Saturday? I'll be in Vienna for a few days until Sunday and for sure will be at the game if anyone is up to meetup either there or earlier in Vienna.

Ok this is doing my head in, somebody please look at the video on Facebook of the players getting off the coach and tell me the guy after Donacien isn't George Hirst cus I'm trying to work out who the hell it is and the likeness to Hirst is clear.

Its Burges - has KB on his top.
EDIT: blows my own theory out, why would it be KB and not CB.....erm, a coach perhaps?
EDIT EDIT! sorry I see now, yes it DOES look like Hirst, I'm also confused now!!

That’s exactly what a couple of other Town fans suggested earlier this afternoon.

Can't stop looking at it but I think you may actually be right with Burgess, possibly changed his hair.

I can't see it's him, nothing like the picture of Slicker in a Town shirt the day we signed him.

I’d say the longer it goes the more likely it is we are after players connected in some way to PL clubs or recently relegated PL clubs. When do they have to declare their 25 squad

I'd assume 1st Sept when the transfer window shuts? Obv you declare before but can edit as needed until the transfer windows closes.
