  1. Absolute rubbish……..it depends upon the terms which is relevant! IF he plays and shows form between now and the season ending - we get promoted and he was interested in renewing we would be mad on revised terms NOT to have him in the squad next season - his experience off the bench and training with Cannon alone could be invaluable …..I do agree that it cannot be on his current wages …..he may accept this and want to be here and accept significantly reduced terms……
  2. Completely different players and Fatawu has not kept KM out of the team - he has been injured and you will see that EM rates KM every bit as much as Fatawu……they play the same position just in very different ways….KM is a real goal threat and his work rate is extraordinary whereas individual talent Fatawu is superb but also has a phenomenal work rate … We should be keeping both as KM will be invaluable in the prem and has significant potential too - we will not sell him for less than £20m
  3. IF your correct it will be unlikely we will stay up as the way we play will require significant upgrades and the league will be tougher next season than this one imo
  4. Hopefully one lesson from last season is a goalkeeper is one of if not the most important positions in any PL side….if we go up Jakub will have to go out on loan as playing to develop is key - he will not be ready to be a back up. The gap to the PL is huge and Mads has potential but the step up will be a test and we will need lots of investment to be mid-table and not come straight back and a new keeper will be key imo ……not as a No.1 but certainly competing or reliable enough to step in…..a keeper like Dubravka or someone with experience
  5. Great post and fans will soon realise it has not gone unnoticed inside football…….big clubs knocking already and if he makes us tick in the prem could be a massive test to retain him !!
  6. Disagree I think you will find Ipswich are equally as adept they don’t have the depth in squad however they are tactically coached fantastically and the team spirit and athleticism will match both us and Leeds - I would still keep an eye on Boro and think we will need to play at a higher level than we are doing to maintain an automatic spot - we have the best squad although we may lack a creative midfielder but if Praet and Ndidi were fit we would have more options - I still worry about strikers as to me Vardy and Kel don’t quite look right - one might be suffering because of lack of creativity the other just looks off it !
  7. I think the game was tight and where in games like QPR and Sunderland where we could easily have drawn last night we did not get the rub. I do believe what last night demonstrated is the gulf to Prem even more because a number of players are not good enough to play this football against bottom half prem teams as they will be games we need to win - I know we are not there yet and this season is all about promotion but an evolvement of a team needing just 3 or 4 starters will be needed - I do not see 7 or 8 Prem starters yet and the gulf in full back, attacking midfielders and strikers will cost big money - the worry for me is the lack of threat as Enzo has made us more solid but we do lack creativity - it’s one game and we probably deserved a draw but January will be important !!
  8. The standard in the division is poor and with the exception of Blackburn and Sunderland we have not really been tested - each week Enzo will be getting more messages across and we will get better although AFCON will have a significant impact. Enzo won’t say it but our squad is the best by a mile and we should be breaking all records and come Jan I expect more investment to get us closer to Prem standard - the step up is huge and although we should not be arrogant or complacent we should have every confidence after this start to win the league - I do think Ipswich will stay the course and probably Leeds are next best - be a good test on Friday !
  9. Promotion to the premier league and guaranteed first team football puts him back in the England reckoning - he is one of those who will be able to step up and still be quality - no way he leaves than less a top 6/7 club comes in !! Quality player and we will need 4 or 5 more like him at least in all departments !
  10. Played well today and worked hard - linked the game and hopefully more consistency ahead
  11. Absolute tosh……he’s quality and he came on you berk and set up the second to win 2 nil……he is not a natural finisher but boy has his game attacking wise transformed give him some credit and stop being a Wally !
  12. Who cares as long we are top 😁 - I actually prefer us approaching it confidently and looking down on everyone with our resources we should be dominating and so far the standard has been dreadful so hopefully we can keep building the Enzo way whilst winning !!
  13. Why not ? I don’t get this view —we were beating championship sides in cups with our reserves over the past 6 seasons due to the strength in depth we had and whilst we have not got the same quality in Maddison, tielemans, Barnes etc we have invested well and have attacking fire power out wide and up front. Our squad and first team quality is the best in the division and we should we walking this division based upon the standard - it’s not disrespectful it’s a fact as we have not got going or even close to the standards we have the potential to be so for me I am expecting us to walk this division and I would imagine so is the Chairman - no one at the club will say so but extremely poor decisions resulted in us being here but good ones have given us a reset and now we need to get back where we should be ………
  14. Before we signed him he had been in a rich vein of form with some outstanding performances and can clearly play - he is another example of a player completely mis-managed by BR - like Cags, Ndidi, Amartey (played too often)______
  15. It must be Kels turn for the weekly scapegoat - he’s a talented player and despite missing chances we would expect him to finish last night he finds positions and has a natural ability to create space for others - he would start in every other team in this division but we happen to have one of the GOAT strikers too! He will be an invaluable player and if he does not step up I have no doubt Enzo will move him on in January !
