Some seriously miserable and depressing people inhabit this forum. Jeez.

This place isn’t the best for serious comments, but congratulations 🥂

He had a very good game. Was physical, covered ground and went forwards. First midfielder on the sheet for me right now.

Winks > Skipp Aluko must be > Thomas Faes > Okoli Daka’s work rate vital of we only have Ayew as a striker. Ricardo has to be shoe-horned in.

This. 100%.

Annoyingly, the two players I’d add are Bilal and Winks. It would be enough to shift the balance if power in this game. 😞

Man, that was a hard watch. We have nowhere to go when we have the ball. I think Page is going to be very important for us, but right now Soumare is a 1-man midfield with Page and Skipp in there 🥴. Can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’d also get Daka on for his mobility. Ayew is just so easily closed out as his lack of pace and energy make it soooo easy to defend against him when he’s a lone striker.

Crying out to have Winks on the pitch.

Page has had a grim set of touches - including nearly butchering rhe goal. Hope he finds his confidence.

Yes. It must be a really tough one for him, deciding whether to do an incredibly well-paid job in one place, or do exactly the same job somewhere else. I hope he has a good support network to help him through this exceptionally difficult period.

Still sounds waaaaay too much.

To have pulled in the best part of £24m for Kasey and JJ is spectacularly good business on our part. Both seem like really good people and I wish them well - but we need the dosh and these deals are excellent for all parties.

Suspect this thread is mainly driven by the Forest/Cov/Derby/fans lurking in our midst and green with envy. Disappointing to see City fans falling for that envy. It’s an amazing resource that belongs to an elite club. Yes, we are a long way from that, presently, but we’ll be back there again one day, soon. In the meantime, it contributes to the development of Alves, Monga, Nelson, Aluko, Page, Evans et al. That batch alone will surely more than cover its cost.

Wrexham’s new CB pairing

Absolutely superb business on our part 😊

Yes. We will be switching to wind-power, apparently.

The judging of MC before at least the end of September would be wrong. We all know he’s inherited a broken squad and he won’t know who he will be able to rely on until this window has closed. Then he gets a month to work closely with them. By October, we should start to see what is likely to be our team/style for this season. So hope he succeeds with the crap hand he’s been given as he seems like genuinely good guy.

Correction - just spotted it’s Okoli not Faes. Faes would get. The nod from me. However unpopular that opinion is! 😂

That’s the strongest side we have right now.

I love every single one of them whilst they pull on our shirt. Even though most of them let me down, consistently. 🥴

Winks and Soumare for me. Ricardo as fullback stepping up once he’s fit allowing winks to push on.

Fans don’t have to love him. They can think what they like. But the club has to manage the situation for the best interests of the club. Managing multi-millionaires with egos is not simple.

You think the likes of Page Aluko, Monga, Evans, Nelson, Alves, Wilson-Brown won’t even begin to make a dent in the cost of the thing when they are eventually sold……….. 🤔

Yes to all of that. But winning a battle isn’t what it’s about. It’s about getting the best result for the club. Sometimes you have to just suck it up, within reason, foe the greater good.
