Ings reminds me a bit of how Russell used Armstrong at Southampton. Not the most prolific but works hard and links play quite well up top. Quick but not rapid and not a huge physical stature. I think Evans has a similar profile too, so hope Russell gives him a chance. Evans also looks to be a top finisher.

Yeah been in pre-season. Currently got: Evans, Otchere, Hutchinson & Opoku. Imagine Opoku could be sold, and maybe Otchere loaned out to L2?

Came from their academy didn’t he? Seems a lot, maybe a buy back clause?!

Oh good. Thats given me a few hours back on Saturday and for the next few weeks then

Woyo Coulibaly has been at pre season training. Got a couple of shout outs for scoring a screamer in the most recent video. Surely we move him and Kristiansen on, can’t have them in the same squad…. 👀

This Hassan is some player. Plays a bit like Mahrez did for us. Just give him the ball and let him go

Infantino is absolutely desperate to win Argentina/ Messi the World Cup again 👀

Misleading that… it’s guehi not Kane that is also 1 booking from a suspension

With my optimistic hat on, I think Nelson could stay. Has featured pretty prominently in coverage so far and seems to have led our new kit campaign. Could see Martin really liking Nelson and building the defence around him. Would obviously need him to sign a new contract… maybe a new contract with a get out clause for a reasonable amount if we don’t get promoted straight away?

Great discussion this. Agree with both your points. Only thing I would add is based on this we are currently overloaded in CDM. So unless we can offload a few of these, which obviously most of us want, then any additions in this area would surely be overkill? I can also see Braybrooke being used in a more advanced position, especially initially. Believe he played as a 10 a couple of times last season and looked capable there. Could also give you balance then on each side to either go a more attacking player (BDCR & Chaplin) or slightly more defensive (Page & Braybrooke) depending on the situation. Sadly I just can’t see us shifting all 3 of Skipp, Hamza & Winks. 8/10: BDCR / New? 6: Skipp / Braybrooke / Winks / Hamza 8/10: Page / Chaplin?

Crazy stats from Sammy. Out of interest if he wasn’t ours, ie. Was currently a Chesterfield player, how would he rate compared to those others on your list?

Fair play to him. Looking on transfermarkt Bradford don’t currently have a single CM on the books, so will probably fancy his chances of playing more there. Also would’ve been behind: Skipp/ Braybrooke/ Page/ Hamza and Winks atm for a CM spot with us.

I thought he might’ve been useful as a back up option. Hope this doesn’t suggest we’re not gonna be able to shift the likes of Winks & Hamza etc

Fenerbahçe have just agreed a deal to sign Nathan Aké from Man City. Hopefully that isn’t instead of Faes!! Can’t bear another season of watching him play for us. Very clearly does not want to be here

I would imagine fee will be close to £5m up front, with add ons (some easier/ some harder to obtain) taking the total package up to the £10m figure quoted. Either way I think it’s a fair deal all around. Sadly best cause of action is to probably to use the funds to offset against any losses getting the deadwood off the books, and can then reset using our academy lads.

Spurs splashing another £100m on Tonali now

Love these sorts of posts!! Completely out of nowhere Is he any good with his feet?

Give him the 8 shirt and make him a key player when Winks ***** off.

Imagine Andy King as first team coach, and maybe Begovic player/ GK coach. Although would rather Kingy work with the academy lads and get a more experienced coach in, suspect this could be the solution.

Some genuine positive news from the club. Also given how negative opinions of Martin generally are, surely the fact that Gill isn’t coming with him having followed him everywhere previously is good news? I prefer the thought of Martin + Hourihane compared to Martin + Gill, even if it is just because it’s slightly more of an unknown.

No you forget that list also doesn’t include our star CB duo Faes & Vesty 😭

No chance he stays, so could do with some sort of bidding war to recoup a fee for him. Think he would suit Wrexhams back 3 set up as well.

Love Fuchs, but would rather get Hourihane for the now. Fuchs could do with more experience first

Love them doing a feature on Sammy. Really hope he has a big part to play next season. Seems tailor made for a RM team as well
