Disagree I thought it was Blur Song 2

Looks excellent, think he’s off to Colorado in Jan! I’m very biased being a Melbourne City STH, but there’s about 5 or 6 kids that will be national team players by 2030. Winning the league with kids. They won’t be good enough for the City Group to take them to Man City, but that’s unrealistic anyway. Worst strength and conditioning team, but the best academy in the league by far, with players that just slot in, don’t look phased in the slightest. An 18yo RB just came on in the first half of the Melbourne Derby, first senior league game, scored and was near perfect defensively. Wasn’t even the youngest full back out there, had a 16yo start the damn game. Kai Trewin and Max Caputo would play significant minutes for Leicester this season. Zane Schreiber, Medin Mehmeti, Patrick Beach, would be league 1 standard at worst. Australia is full of very interesting, cheap talent. Need some scouts out here (Rudkin if you’re reading I can do it)

Sign Max Caputo.

Yeah of course, but that’s a pretty lazy way to look at Asian football. He had very, very good performances in the World Cup, for a team that very much pushed Argentina in the Round of 16. There are now 18 Aussies in the Championship, about 8 of them should be in Word Cup contention. Souttar, if he gets fit and minutes, is in the squad no question. Australia’s issue is top tier talent at the moment, real world beaters just aren’t there. But it’s a very well rounded squad, with a lot of players who are finally coming through the A-League and moving when they’re ready. Australia ranked 25 in the world by the way, ahead of Turkey, Wales, Scotland, Serbia, Sweden, Norway, Nigeria. Don’t think there’s much of a conversation about someone of Souttar’s abilities if he was the starting CB for anyone of those nations, but because it’s the Socceroos playing Bahrain (ranked 90), it’s looked very differently to Turkey playing Bulgaria (91).

Lot of you talking absolute waffle, he’s perfectly good in a back 4 for the Socceroos. He’s absolutely a better defender than Faes and Jannik.

He’ll head to Saudi and complain he doesn’t have the financial backing to compete.

Close to what I’d do Ayew and Evans out, Ricky and Aluko in. Put Abdul up top, and he’ll drift wide. Worked well when we were down to 10 men against Oxford Aluko Ricky Winks Kristensen James Fatawu Carranza Either that or Aluko out, Page into midfield

Sign Max Caputo.

Despite what the police say I’m not pro youth, I’m anti-deadwood. Would like us to try something slightly different to open some space up. Stol RiccyP Okoli Nelson Aluko James Winks Abdul Ramsey Evans Carranza

Terry Venables

Wish it was his brother Speed

Brilliant

Daka to score 3 and make his per 90 stats look unbelievable for the rest of the season 4-3 loss

Club are hiring a Loans Manager again

I think there’s a need to go with someone who has had experience in football in the East Midlands. Overseen success and infrastructure improvements. Maybe someone who has had a few down years and is wanting a bit of a reset, maybe take a step down a level to bring a club back up. All this to say I think we should hire Susan Whelan.

If only his ability matched his looks

#WhiteTrainerPower

Abandoned the white trainers vs Cov get rid of him immediately

He’s the player I’d want to bring on 2-0 up with 20 to go, not starting every week.

Probably overreacting here, but at the moment he’s good for one or two major errors a game. Sloppy passes, trying to do too much in the wrong area of the pitch. Really need him to stay focused and disciplined, feels like he loses concentration. I’d blame youth, but think he needs Marti to really push him on some of these things.

Carranza looks like a 10/10 signing (he’s bloody gorgeous)

Bouba was fine but he is the safest player in the team. He looks for the easiest pass every single time, which is why his mistakes always look horrendous. Does not have the courage to break a line with a pass, switch it, take on a man. I think he has the ability which is the infuriating thing. It would free up Winks even further if he was a a threat.
