ah yes… the infamous bidding war that doesn’t exist…

Hair spray is flammable..

None of which would be the step up he is hoping for..

he was 18/19 at the time? How the hell does he know what position truly puts him at his best? It’s not like he was being asked to play in goal or as a striker..

It’s an empty threat. No player his age will sit out an entire season. Who would want to buy a player who hasn’t played for 12 months? just agent talk trying to push a move.

Unless the interest in Choudhury is genuine?

thsts not part of the discussion though… the question was why he looked good for us..

No, he looked good for us because he’s made some great saves.

his refusal to do the role Maresca wanted him to fulfill could be interpreted that way..

“ he can’t be that bad, can he?” Top tier football analysis.

fair point.

And yet ironically, we are playing him at RB

He’ll be our first Russian…

Out of all the players who are are so,what sellable and don’t want to be where, are Bilal and Winks. I’d actually aregue they are two very important cogs in how we need to play. Without them, all our play has to come down the wings. Opponents have been doubling and triple teaming our wingers and they’ve been able to do that because there’s NOTHING coming through the middle. If we can reintegrate both back into the team and convince them to at least give us till the end on the season, we’ll be in great shape and could save us a lot of money..

Just a side thought.. I know Rudkin has been getting props recently because we seem to be selling a few and getting back on track, but I can’t help but feel this has been forced upon us..like we have no choice and only one option on what we can do. In other words, his ‘ability’ (decision making and playing silly buggers ) has been removed and he HAS to follow the plan presented to him. So he’s just become an administrator, effectively. so he’s not the messiah, he’s still a very naughty boy.

I could be mistaken.. the $40m (£32m) might have been a two year deal…

So we are not just missing the tv money from last year we are also missing a shirt sponsor and I could be wrong but that was worth 30m to us last season? This has to be calculated for also…

So I’ve noticed at times that when the ball goes out to Fatawu or Monga, other teams have not just been double teaming them, but they’ve had a third man on them as well. This is partly due to the fact they know we have zero threat through the middle with Bilal out the side… with the Bilal situation possibly settling down… if he comes back in for Friday I feel like we will be able to absolutely terrorize Birmingham’s defense and this will stunt their attacking due to needing to drop a couple more back. im predicting a great performance and a win by at least 2 goals..

so to read between the lines of the Dorset tweet…. We no longer have to sell him to justify PSR…. But what if we want to sign someone? Are we going to need to sell him for that?

I haven’t noticed any of that.

I used to go to McDonald’s and just order 3 large fries, and I’d do that 2-3 times a week. I was fairly addicted to their fries! I don’t go there any more. For my own good!

whilst Vesty has his limitations, I don’t believe he’s bringing any negativity to the squad… Faes on the other hand! And Soumare sometimes looks like he’s mad just to be asked to get out of bed!

We have too many young and impressionable young players in our first team squad… we just can’t allow one bad apple to spoil the whole barrel. now is he being a bad apple? That’s mainly decided in the dressing room and on the training pitch… not just by a goal celebration, or lack of one… but ideally, he should be setting a precedent too on how the players interact with the fans. But the goal celebration isn’t the deal breaker for me…

as daft as it may sound , even the technology around artificial pitches has improved…

think he’s realized he’s not getting the wage or high end club he was hoping for…
