JayT - Always A Fox!

I completely agree, but it’s not the point. Can you tell me how these clubs are able to just stay above relegation every year? I can - PSR. It’s made the gap between the Championship and Premier League too big. 2nd season in a row now all 3 promoted clubs go back down and clubs like Wolves, Palace just manage to get away with it (again).

6 seasons ago… that’s the only thing they’ve done in recent history. What else have they done in the other 5? Nothing. And that’s my point.

It’s clubs like Wolves that I can’t stand. They’ve been making the numbers up in the Premier League for years. No real ambition but just good enough to stay in the league, year after year. Palace too.

I think he’s referring to the players being chased by bigger clubs, much like the lad we lost to Liverpool last season who’s now starting games for them. Not the entire youth team pal. Dibbling at Southampton. Nwaneri at Arsenal.

He referenced our ‘great escape’ season the other day and said that it came off because of the club and Nigel’s long term plan finally coming together. I think he thinks this idea he has is going to click and all of a sudden we’re going to be a new team!! Nigel changed the shape of the team. He also brought in an experienced CB in Huth who had a point to prove and gave the defence a whole new confidence. In my opinion, we just need to go for it now. If it means we get beat 4/5 nil then so be it. Go down with a fight. Play Jake Evans or even (dare I say it) Daka up front with Vardy!

Linked with Arsenal in the summer apparently.

In all seriousness I think he’s got great potential, he’s never fit though so should be great for us 😂 He’s worth the gamble though if we’re loosing Thomas.

Rashford being heavily linked to West Ham. Surely Ruud could pull a few strings and get this over the line? Can play as CF or Wing.

Big yes from me. If we could land him for 10m, brilliant. Got a point to prove. Did very well for Newcastle when he first went there but got injured and never fully recovered or got his spot back.

Get back in Mcdonalds you clown 🤡

I think the fact that Cooper has worked with him before with England, he will know his strengths as a player. I’ve always liked his work rate and ability to break up play. Cooper clearly wants players that are going to work hard. Without Wilf or Winks, we’re light in midfield quality and I can see Soumare leaving still.

I don’t believe Man City are playing their best 11 today, nor United for that case. 10 years ago, maybe. But in todays day and age we have far to much analysis going on to give tactics and ideas away too soon? Surely it’s about getting those final minutes into legs that need it and maybe another few tactical ideas in the team from set pieces or as such.

Do you all really think he’s going to play his first 11 in his final pre season game?

Yeh - Alves has just recovered from a season out with ACL injury.

By all accounts Brighton fans are not happy about this and wanted him to feature more this season, so not necessarily.

I wouldn’t say it’s all been bad. Fatawu? Hermansen? I would say they were talents?

I remember thinking at the time that his arrogance will ultimately see his demise, only for Vardy and the senior players ‘meeting’ that really pulled them back out of the mess at the end of last season, before too late. Maybe time will tell as mentioned, and he’s using this as his base plan with new ideas yet to come. But it does make you wonder if this really will be it for them and he thinks because they are a ‘bigger’ (more expensive) club/team they will work better with his obvious tactics.

Having kept an eye over Chelsea’s first 2 pre season games, he’s carbon copied what he did with us. I would’ve thought he’d have some new idea’s or systems and maybe he will have eventually, but nothing as of yet. Is he really so fixated on ‘his way’? I’ve also watched both games for Celtic and Kasper has been fantastic, I am pleased to say.

Soumare is better in a ‘slower’ league. Definitely a footballer in there, just not a Premier League footballer unfortunately. Thomas struggled at both Sheffield (relegated again) and then in the championship at Borro.

Best away pubs for Swansea? Thanks in advance.

Me and my mate said it against Hull. Nobody had the quality of pass to reach his runs. He’s still bang at it, especially in this division. Not going to play every week obviously - but if we can find that quality pass when he does play, he’ll score plenty.

Absolutely. If the management was again to change in a year or so’s time - we may require them!

Why is he still here?

Agreed 👍

Coady comes straight back in. He’ll be the main man and captain. Enzo built the team around Coady, Winks and Ricardo.
