Sambiasso

If he gave that much of a damn he would have been at the game instead of playing golf with his mates.

The same team will play Chelsea next week so hardly 2 weeks off.

Complains players are knackered, makes 2 subs Just missing a notebook and shit clap to become Italian Brendan.

Fair enough, hopefully we'll find something or just go Lidl and have couple before hand.

Away pub(s)?

We simply cannot keep playing with fire when it comes to finances. Against all financial advice we kept pushing to sign Jack Harrison on 100k a week. From the boardroom, playing side and fan base we need a massive reset so the sooner it comes the better.

Don't sit on the fence, tell us how you really feel.

Just drove from Gloucester with this week's pod on and wanted to say similar. Much prefer it when it's a straight up football pod. Harry is a great addition as the 5th Beatle, knowledgeable and speaks well.

There's an irony that both players and fans have an 80min mentality

Using the experienced players you have on the bench. Albrighton for the 2nd game in a row would have had more impact than KM, Praet an experienced international and Coady a captain and leader on the pitch. Not for the first time the players looked knackered and Enzo didn't make the changes required.

I used the JW example because he was also an excellent prospect on the cusp of breaking into the first team before he picked up a long term injury, whose body could never fully recover. He was never near 400 appearances and the last time I saw him was at Guiseley. If you think a period in League 2, Conference and arse end of Scotland is a decent footballing career then we'll disagree. I'm not writing Alves off, he's a very good prospect but not anywhere near the wonder kid he's often made out to be on here least of all at the level where he can walk into the first team like a certain few have suggested. Alves needs a sustained period where he doesn't inflame a previous injury or pick up a new one, I just have doubts his body will let him reach the level has has the potential to reach without breaking down, even before this injury (which was more than just an ACL) he struggled to complete 90mins of football and would pick up regular muscle injuries. I know you've got upset that golden boy has took some slack and you think what I say is wrong, but maybe just lower expectations with him until he can play 6 months injury free - might be a while

Will be another James Wesolowski, he will never fully recover properly.

Watford the other week caused the bubble up when Nelson was played over him. Few times this season senior players could have been given an opportunity but have been overlooked for less experienced players. Personally think had Albrighton been introduced from 70mins vs Boro we would have drawn that game given how many crosses we had.

Like many others he was sold the dream and hasn't had a sniff of first team football. Wants to be playing regularly and is rightly pissed off. Nothing major

Interesting couple of months after the halving. Hopefully will see the start of the bull run 100k minimum in the next 6-12 months.

Fulham want a striker, potentially Daka. Souttar on loan, Praet and Albrighton all had enquiries. As said previously need players to go before anyone comes in.

2 in, 2 out

Or tomorrow

A loan to a championship club would be in his best interest, need these kind of players to get some experience.

The +1 is all on Praet leaving. Will be an interesting deadline day for sure.

Sensi + 1 In Praet + 1 out - Souttar Birmingham & Stoke sniffing for a loan.

Never wanted to be here anyway, good riddance.

Times like this we could do with a plane tracking thread
