If he has, I feel sorry for the alien that got his "talent". That fella got short changed.

As far as a managers first half of football for a team, in a friendly, I personally think it's encouraging. It's clearly not there yet and we need incomings in certain areas of the park but you can see what we are trying to do and if we get the right people in, it will be very enjoyable to watch.

Young GK

If we sold Daka and Ayew, signed a new starting #9 and got Vardy in as backup, I'm sure we would all be on board but we KNOW thats not what would happen. He would come back as our starter with Ayew as back up and no-one wants that.

Don't forget Jonas Lunden.

I hope th latter half of that is true but they can keep Dosser.

It was always heavily rumoured that when MON was at Celtic, he used Chamionshio manager to scout players. No idea if it is true or not but that was going about for years.

To be fair to you, I think he has played up top here and there.

Windass is primarily a #10. He had a good year last year but aye, he's not great.

Wrexham clearly have the best chance since their name is in the hat twice.

Listen, I don't disagree but if not for Tops fetish for a PowerPoint presentation, we would have ended up with Wilder so take the win.

This title for tat nonsense is how Rangers and Celtic ended up playing with no away fans at OF games and it hitting the fixture. Putting up the prices because they did and vice versa will just price out real fans and leave it at the point where the only people that go are the cucumber sandwich eaters who can afford it and the atmosphere will suffer.

I know ive said it before but It's really annoying me that we don't seem to have a spare £7.5m kicking around for Lennon Miller. Almost 80 appearances so far, full international, can play multiple roles in midfield and is only 18. The boy is going to be a star.

I'm still nervous that Rhian Brewster is still out there in the wild somewhere....

Rumours that Pierce Charles is off to Rangers. They are taking full adblvantage of Wednesdays situation. First Gassama now this.

There is only 5 people it can be (if true).... Zouma Lindelof Dawson Hause Mee It's not going to be either of the first two so pick your poison out of the remaining 3.

I think we will get a mini-rush but if outgoings, then see what we are working with.

"L...A...Knight...Yeah!"

Obviously, we can't really read much into the training videos. It is a tiny clip of what the club want us to see but he looks involved. Someone who demands respect and doesn't take crap, which I suppose is why he clashes with those above him so much but we need that and we need someone who can control the dressing room. I hope it is him.

I think even for the Championship, Hamza struggles in this regard. With his physical attributes, he SHOULD be better than he is. Like I say, I think it's his football intelligence that let's him down and like you say in the video, that is required for that free man role. With Hamza, even at CDM, he doesn't seem to be able to read the game. He doesn't know where he has to be until he has to be there if that makes sense and it leads to him looking like he is always chasing to catch up, which then leads to the rash challenges.

I actually think Ayew might do well in this system as the false 9 but hopefully as a backup option. Hamza is an interesting one. He can play several positions that would make hime a candidate for that free man role but as @StriderHiryu said, that role takes football intelligence and that IMO is what holds Hamza back.

I dunno. I would like a bit more creativity in that CM area. We could play Ricardo there but that weakens RB.

It would be good for him, having his Irish cousin playing CB for us...

As the plane heads off into the sunset, Rudkin would be peering out sinisterly from under the wing like the end of Big trouble in little China.

I took out the players that I feel are likely/very likely to go. It's still a decent squad by Championship standards but not nearly as impressive as what it was and I'm not certain we will have much to improve it. A backup GK on a free, a loan CM and a loan ST being it wouldn't surprise me.
