Doesn't make up for Iversen, Tielemans, Iheanacho, Praet, Söyüncü, Amartey and Perez all leaving on frees in recent seasons. Or the subpar fees received for Barnes, Maddison or even Ndidi and Hermansen. That's without touching on the abysmal signings we've made the last few seasons as well.

Good point, but notice how Ayew came alive against Wednesday when Daka came on. He went on an unlikely run on the right, going past players to set up Daka's header. He's not the fastest, but he's not as slow as one would think.

Would be something if he became a LCFC manager one day.

He's just saying that Fofana and Badiashile shouldn't play in the middle of a three, i.e. that he wants cover for Colwill. Pretty much the same sort of criticism he gave Kristiansen re his role here.

Jacob Ramsey going for £40m is a joke. That we sell Barnes and Madison for around the same as a guy who scores about 1 in 10 and has done f all at PL level, is blasphemous.

Nah, it's really not that bad. The squad is in Stark contrast to the one 5-10 years ago, but we've been far, far worse. The dirge years in the mid 00s were something else entirely. About being dislikeable, that's very subjective. Actually think a lot of the players come across as likeable off the pitch. I.e. Daka seems a genuinely humble and nice fella and he does try. Back in the days of Tricky Trev, he would've been a cult hero.

His end product is no worse than Mav or McAteer at the moment.

Cruel for Sheff Wed...

So that'd be everyone but Monga and Fatawu then.

Is the game streamed/shown abroad or just SkySports+?

The clause doesn't prevent clubs from offering less than the clause amount. If we were willing to sell for less than the clause, then the clause expiring means nothing.

A scrappy 2-1 comeback win to start the season, exactly like last time. I'll take that - bank the points and the confidence from recovering the game. Tougher game than most expected.

Wasn't able to watch much of the first half, but was he really that bad? Felt Soumare was easily worse, either when slowing things down/going backwards, getting in the way of teammates, not showing for the ball. I noticed Skipp made a good run into the box near the end of the half and Fatawu could've played him in, but he chose to go alone and lose the ball.

Bit mean not to mention Faes as well...

Brilliant by Monga. Scary how easy he makes it look. That deserved to be an assist, if only Ayew was sharper in his finishing.

Turkish lira maybe...

He had to generate power on the header too. Got no complaints about the header.

Awesome run by Ayew, good header by Daka, fantastic save by their keeper.

Ayew just scored from a direct corner, what more can you ask for?

not going to pretend I'm not sad about it. I guess it was necessary and we do have competent backup.

Nathan Delfouneso Tom Kennedy Michael Lamey Tony Warner David Stockdale Johnny Hayes David Bell Rufus Brevett Andy Welsh ... If these names had popped up in a quiz, I probably would not have remembered them playing for us. Those Levein years and subsequent seasons were truly poor.

I haven't seen us linked with Lucas Andersen, even if it seems a very obvious story with him having been at AaB when Cifuentes was there and Cifuentes bringing him to QPR. His contract has expired and he's now training back in Aalborg but has denied he will return to AaB. We need some cover in attacking midfield and even though he's not young, he can do a job for us - especially on a free.

No. I sincerely hope that Trump ****s up things so much that we don't see his ilk for decades. We will never see progress, of any kind really, with people like him in charge. He's a destroyer and you can argue that in extreme cases those are needed for a 'shake up', but his job was done long ago. Every day he stays in power is a day human society gets set back further.

I wouldn't be surprised if Spurs are looking at a new goalie. Hermansen would be an upgrade on all their goalies imo. With Frank there, I would think an easy link could be made, like with Ankergreen/West Ham. Hermansen was a youth player at Brøndby when Frank was coach there after all.

Got Oxygen Not Included on sale and it's quite fun. Although it does almost require an engineering degree! Has lots of similarities to Rimworld, which is only a good thing.
