His Forest teams never scored enough for the situation we were always going to be in. Playing 3 unadventurous midfielders is suicide - doesn’t matter if it’s a friendly. Shit appointment from a shit board.

Should have paid the money years ago when it was clear he was just too good for the Czech league at like 19

Enjoy everybody going. Jealously is creeping in now

Greenwood and Wahi, what a menacing strike force

We'll have a good go at the play offs next year mate

We're going to have to really go for it to stay up. Keeping it tight and cagey won't win us enough points, Cooper isn't the manager to do that and we don't have the squad to do it either. For most clubs I'd say they'd be blitzing the last few weeks of the window but this is Leicester and Rudkin were talking about. 13 enquiries, 10 low ball offers, 4 personal terms agreed but no sale, 3 desperate loans and 1 relegation.

Didn't bowl that well at the death, seems unfair to use Green for the final over. Still in our hands though.

How does Alex Green bowl?

To countenance the above, I think he's probably more of a central midfielder than AM/winger. So his profile at Rosario probably a bit more like his true potential (caveated by it being a weaker league and the percentiles are only calculated from Argentina so it's easier to be higher compared to the 'Next 7' leagues FBref uses). However the 4 goals and 2 assists in 23 PL starts aren't the sort of numbers that'll keep us up.

"How do you know Okoli is a priority, it's not as simple as that, sometimes you have to sign players when they're available"

We were really lacking staid midfield options so he'll complement Winks, Ndidi, Soumare and Choudhury excellently

Steve good with youth cooper at it again

His non-penalty G+A per 90 anywhere outside of the Netherlands is consistently about 0.3. 8 goals and 5 assists in 79 apps and 35 starts (37 nineties) at Tottenham isn't good. He wouldn't be cheap either, anybody keen is probably overly swayed by name recognition.

The club could have bought them out of the contract or came to some other settlement with Compass. They just don't give a shit, I reckon they were probably glad it's so long as it means they can hide behind it as an excuse. These issues are on Whelan, supposedly an excellent businesswoman. Just like the ticketing points system, it's been shot for years and nothing changes - fundamentally the club are lazy.

People spell my name incorrectly in emails… it’s literally right there in the address bar. On the FBI theme, Never Split The Difference is a fantastic read by Chris Voss

I think reading comprehension on FT is getting worse generally. I don't bother with political debates on FT but on the football side of things you have posters just not reading (or understanding) what you're saying. I don't think it's a lack of clarity on my part either.

We're not "ran just like a business", other businesses wouldn't get away with such a shit offering. Catering Merchandising Ticketing Marketing Communications Operations Finance Customer service Fan engagement Are all fundamentally flawed (or have had serious issues) in some way. What sort of other business gets away with that?

So unimaginative, even the links and rumours are uninspiring

Mike on balance has been a good (re)signing. He’ll always frustrate given his ability but he’s a matchwinner. Handscomb coming into form is what we need.
