James Justin take a bow

Mavididi 🤣

Scored same amount as Facundo but assisted less. So we keep statistically the better player out. If you look at stats Facundo is one of the best forward players in the team Ayew isn’t. Even defensively Facundo is better. For example he’s won the most possession in final 3rd (just ahead of Kasey) out of any player, so we miss his tenacity. I don’t see what we lose by starting Facundo ahead Ayew. The latter isn’t a disaster by any means but the fact he’s starting I don’t see the logic.

We all knew this would be the case. And yet we hear about the possibility of Okoli going out (numerous clubs) a complication of our brilliant DOF Rudkin being able to pull anything off in a notoriously difficult and expensive window. It’s all depressing and we’ll no doubt be told it’s complicated or we need to sell to bring in, after being told we’re looking to bring players in at least that’s what RVN seems to believe. You’d think the club wouldn’t do what they did with Enzo again with a manager that fell out with the hierarchy at PSV. The club finds itself in this position because we’re not organised and those in charge are just incompetent. Yes it’s early days but we again sit here and see the likes of Ipswich going for our previous targets in positions we’re need recruitment in.

When your staring at relegation everything is a gamble. Cooper’s proven premiership experience hasn’t worked. The club should gamble on players like this..

I’m sure you’ll get over it 🤣

I don’t get this argument. Brighton have a good track record with players and Ferguson has already shown a lot of potential and it would seem he has fallen out of the plans for current manager and lost a bit of form. We would never sign anyone if the logic is every player a selling club sells must be rubbish. That doesn’t make sense and there could be numerous reasons for a sale , take financial PSR for example. He may have been highlighted by the recruitment analysis that his strengths will be a huge asset to us and they believe that the player could find form again utilising the strengths they’ve seen. Sometimes the market will dictate you take chances on outliers, players out of form or deemed past it. Some in our fan base questioned Mads, too small and BEK too much for a player from an inferior league who doesn’t score or assist. Recruiting these have been spot on and clearly the average fan won’t see what recruitment team will see. Like with anything it’s risk, some come off and some they don’t.

It can’t happen any other way. If we had to sell first then they’ll have lied to Ruud and we’ll not be signing another player. We could only sell the likes of Mads and Bilal (the rest are shite) and what would the point of that be. The club have to spend some money in key areas and no fcking about in the last week of window. Based on what happens with this hierarchy it’s all too much to get in done and we’ll see a lot of huff and puff with the targets we want not coming in. Maybe too pessimistic!

There doesn’t seem to be any urgency in bringing players in either. While I could be wrong. It would seem the end of the window tactic where they believe better value can be had, which never works that way for us. And it’s not like we’re desperate.

Who don’t have anyone else. Right back should be our number one target to get in on January the 1st. The biggest but not only issue defensively. Having said that Hamza can’t be blamed for Haaland being unmarked centrally.

Yep he starts

Lookman… I’m no congerton fan but I’m assuming our own scouts will have done there homework

Wolves win written all over it now.

Football Insider Exsclusive alert. This website is utter Shite. The idea that KDH will want to move / a loan and back to Leicester isn’t beyond the realm of reality. Imagine the club may have other positions they want to prioritise.

Can see the difference already and no I didn’t expect RVN to resolve the massive issues we had in a week. But it’s a huge positive reaction with harder work going in, pressing is miles better. Wolves is our ‘easiest’ game this side of Xmas we have a tough run in, I’m glad we’ve picked up these points. We do need recruits though, the gaping holes won’t be filled with hard work and better tactics alone.

Tier one according to this tiny Subreddit

Superb news and hope he makes a full recovery very soon

Only ten on target, just four more than us. We also had more ‘big chances’ whatever that stat means. Essentially we gave ourselves better goal scoring opportunities and took them. Ruud mentioned counter attack several times in a few interviews. If we can concede less and score on the break I’d be more than happy to have the ball less and concede shots that mostly don’t hit the target.

He spoke very good English (some reason I didn’t expect that) and already looks like he’s settling in with the team, sometimes with young foreign players this can be a difficult transition. He is a very good creative technical player (like Mads) and hopefully can show further progression. It’s a shame Facundo isn’t ours they’re a good attacking pair.

Love the work you do for those in need.

The fact you’d seriously expected him to have been in place Monday morning is bizarre. It appears you need to manage your own expectations. It’s hilarious to see time and again the hysterical reactions (same with player signings), when it’s just you that doesn’t have any patience. He is coming just wait and stop over analysing just because you think it should have been done by Sunday evening.

Appointment tomorrow

Ruud

Appointment tomorrow...
