That's that then.

Bilal had no runners, no options, no chance.

Brentford had Benrahma, Watkins and Mbeumo. Then got Toney in for Watkins.

I never saw what Martins system provided at the top end of the pitch. In the Premier league I never saw what it provided in the middle of it either. 200 passes around the back until someone loses it to give the opponent a scoring chance seemed to be the mantra.

If he stays we should probably just use him in the mid. But we should absolutely let him go if the opportunity presents itself.

He's also an LW so you're getting in someone where we have Mav, Alves, Monga(!), maybe even stuck with Reid and Ayew. If we're being honest we all know big Jordan is starting up front next season.

We couldn't be lucky enough to offload him (Soumare) to an overspending Saudi club could we? Nah.

Not that it evens matters really, but Ange cannot sort out a defence to save his life. He's awful. Could end up the only manager we have a positive points advantage over from 2 games this season.

Or like, the Edouard one.

Absolute myth. The only thing it has in terms of demand over the Premier league is number of games. The games themselves are far more demanding in the Premier league than the championship as our last few seasons suggest. We got all this last time we were relegated about how much more physical the championship was and yet total weaklings like Winks did fine. Premier league players are fitter, stronger, faster. The game is quicker, more intense, more demanding. Is the premise that the less talented players just kick the shit out of you? Edit: seems this was remarked upon in the post following yours. But I couldn't help myself John. I was seething lad, absolutely raging I was. Edit 2: kin hell Bradger even used Winks as the example. Seething again.

We'll sell Faes, Nelson starts with Okoli, Vesty and Coady stay because Souttar is unavailable. January we get to turf one out. There's no point selling Nelson as we'd need to buy a replacement. Unless we dive back in for Mbemba on a free.

So they'll meet in the middle then and go for Marsch!

The same Bologna that took VK on loan for a season, qualified for CL football and then decided they wanted to renegotiate the fee. Awesome. Look forward to them winning Serie A and then asking if they can have him for £70 and a nice pair of loafers.

You'd have more of an idea based on where he ends up. Some reckon he's still expecting a big wage, so if he rocks up at Wednesday or even Wrexham, you'd imagine that's not it. Even though the latter might offer a decent wedge their profile outside the game might be appealing for the Vardy story and an eventual possible move to the USA. If he goes Saudi, we couldn't financially compete and wouldn't want to. If he goes to the USA it's probably largely the same thing. He'd also get longer terms at both. Wednesdays a sentimental move, can't begrudge anyone that. Wrexham would seem like a business/profile move, like a stepping stone to something else. Saudi/USA moves are the money and career prolonging moves. All make more sense really than staying with us as possibly backup to a new striker. Other option of course is he gets to be depth/cover at a prem side. I still think there'd be interest, but probably no offers til late in the window when he'd presumably have tied things up elsewhere. Imagine if Arteta finally took him to Arsenal cos they've never got a fxxking striker! I think there's still a lot of appealing options for Vardy so I doubt there was any need to push him.

Now the question is, who can we bring in to absolutely ruin him?

*talent

He wants to climb a place for his payoff.

If Russell Martin HAS learned from his Saints spell then he might be a decent appointment. But if he hasn't then you're getting shit, suicidal football with an ego far outweighing his achievements, whilst both being smug and accepting none of the responsibility when it goes tits. And I'd err on the side of him NOT having learned, such is his opinion of himself.

Not a fxxking prayer of JM.

Newcastle. Wilson replacement. Cheap depth (relatively).

Daka plays the way an instinctive player does when they start making the mistake of thinking.

Will Still never had coaching badges!

Italians don't do obligations.

Premier league clubs never get that option on a champ player. Ok, rarely...
