Interesting.

I know what you mean the Ziegler article does read very weird but every source is pretty unequivocal that no one will be charged for 23/24, it’s just we a case of having 22/23 hanging over our heads which touch wood seems a pretty unlikely appeal from the premier league.

To be honest that was probably the thinking, he was already quite slight to be playing holding midfield and the club probably thought a league where he’ll get kicked up in the air would do him good, but no, evidently not

The choice of loan for Braybrooke was all wrong from the off. Shocking loan management again from the club, but that’s another can of worms.

Anyone that’s used their eyes in his brief cameo’s (or has actually put the effort in to watch him at U21 level) knows there’s a serious player there, certainly for the level that we’re heading for at the very least. Whether the same obscene potential is there post serious injury is another matter, but he’s being managed appallingly.

They’re less doggo than they were when they last beat us

It’s one thing not naming any in the XI yesterday, I understand the need for confidence for the starting XI. But to not name any kids on the bench is criminal, we had the game won with 25 minutes to go and trotted out Ayew and Reid. Not good enough.

Absolutely spot on this. Another area our DOF falls horrifically short. There’s no consistency in our managerial appointments at all, no plan.

This. We’ll need some of these youth players next year when half the squad has left and don’t want to play another year of championship football.

Obviously looks pretty average but that’s the lake we’re fishing in on the current budget. Can play both sides effectively and is two footed, any sort of cover and option to take one of the two full backs out of the side for a period is appreciated right now.

Molla Wague vibes

Mate I know you said the other day you prefer to take a positive outlook on things, but don’t knock others for seeing it for how it is and taking a more realistic view

I would also love to know because this is absolutely baffling

Well obviously, we’re all sat here debating and providing conjecture over who it may be. Maybe it’s us, maybe it’s Everton. Who knows, either way the journos have done their job on that front. But I’m pretty certain he’ll be spot on that there’s something coming out about one club in the next week or two. And he’ll know who that is. Regardless that no one “has shown him their books”.

And we don’t think that he’s quite obviously in the pockets of people that are very much in the know, journos, likes of de Marco as mentioned above and can align his very already good financial knowledge with the bits he hears on the grapevine? Come on. No smoke without fire and all that.

Literally this, they were spot on, we just had a lawyer good enough to pull us out of the shit. Writing off the likes of Maguire and co is naivety. Burying your heads in the sand. Better hope that it’s someone else, or if it is us that De Marco has another MOTM performance in him.

Got a horrible feeling they’ll go Van Der Bergh though which will be a borefest over the more entertaining Heta

Two too many, lose your last two and I think you’re spot on.

True. But I don’t think it’s a total capitulation is my point. The busts have been bizarre

Music choice on them is top notch too

He’s averaging around 100 mate hahaha

The way littler has barely got out of (his own) second gear in this tournament and has kept everyone at arms length is ridiculous.

I can give you three from a long time ago, Mahrez to City, Maddison from Norwich, Rodgers from Celtic. Ayew and Edouard last summer. He was the first to all. He’s a bit hit and miss but he’s not the useless source some on here make him out to be.

Nixon breaks a lot on us but there seems to be this misconception on here that he’s useless I say it every window

Ward would still be trying to lift his leg in reaction to the top save Jakub made 10mins before.
