Maybe, as has been said before, Chansiri is being a tit and is dragging this out to spite Rohl. Maybe Top and Rudkin have learnt from past mistakes where they went for their third, fourth, fifth choice and are sticking with their preffered candidate.

Were the youngsters from Saturday in the team? If not, who?

I only watched the match on Youtube, but he seemed the least impressive of the young players on display.

I think you mis-spelled that?

If they have decided that Rohl is 'the one' then they should wait as long as it takes, as long as it is done before the start of the season.

Maybe they don't feel any urgency because King is doing a good enough job for pre-season Maybe they think that without a manager to sanction sales we will keep hold of Hermansen and El Khanous. Maybe they are planning to hire a manager who prefers the same style of play as Maresca and that the players are already comfortable with that. Maybe... Nah, you're right, we're ****ed.

Maybe this was leaked by Wasserman to give their clients more publicity?

Stats last season very similar to Jamie Vardy!

I see a lot of references to Nelson alongside the youth stars, but he is muct further along in his development. Nelson and Okoli should be our first choice centre back pairing. Alves is a reserve winger or 10. The others should be given minutes to develop and encourage them where possible, with the occassional start.

Typo or subconscious opinion.

We are a top class striker away from HMS Piss the League. Unfortunately we have Daka!

Better than Wilder

Most of them don't currenntly have professional contracts (Monga, Evans, Page, Aluko), so I wouldn't have thought they can go on loan. Happy to be corrected.

Do we have any good young defensive midfielders in the academy? The only one I can think of is Brandon Cover, who played there a few times under Maresca.

Is there a reason you know this or are you staying anonymous?

Ofsside Positioning? If this was issued by the people enforing the rules I am not very confident they will be enforced accurately!

Does this really make sense? The manager would be paying money that he had earned and been taxed on and would then receive a signing on bonus that would be taxed. If the LCFC paid Wednesday then it would be a tax deductible business cost wouldn't it? I am not an expert so probably wrong.

I suspect we will have to sell before we buy. We have too many very average players on too much money.

I thought the main selling point for Rohl was that he had done an amazing job with cr*p players

I don't understand why people seem to think Southampton are going to do well. They were close to breaking Derby's points record at one point and we finished well above them even after RvN's losing streak. They have hired a manager who might do well, but might not, and have brought in a striker from Bundesliega 2.

Depends on what happens with the manager and transfers in/out. Currently, compared to when we won the Championship las time: - Goalkeepers: better, just because Ward has left. Hermansen will probably leave, but Stolarcyk is good enough, so we will need 2 back ups. Fullbacks: same as last time, but 2 years older, plus we have Coulibaly, but no idea how good he is. Centre Back: same as last time, but Nelson is back from his loan spell and Oxford fans think he will play for England! Plus Okoli Midfield: same as last time except we have BEK instead of KDH. Hopefully get rid of some of the deadwood, keep BEK and add someone who actually runs. Wingers: same starters as before, but Alves has gained experience and Monga and Evans should get more minutes. Striker: the GOAT is gome, but at least we still have Ayew and Daka! Overall, no reason to be too pessimistic, but certainly reason to be concerned about who will come in.

I hope OHL are playinng in white!

When you talk about squad depth you should be looking at what you have to back up the first 11, so in your example:- Potential XI with departures Stolarczyk Justin Nelson Okoli Thomas Skipp Winks Fatawu Ayew Mavididi Daka Potential Second XI with departures New Keeper Coulibaly Vestergaard Coady Pereira Ndidi Choudhary McAteer Alves Monga Ayew/Evans/New Striker We have bodies to cover each position, but we definitely need more quality and should get rid of players who apparently don't want to be here

Easy choice, I would rather be deaf so I can't hear the wife nag!
