Like Mcatee , only watched him a few times but always seems to have something about him.

I don't need any communication whatsoever. Just get the deals done and the results tend to speak for themselves.

He's really good, recent perspective and I like the brings a gks perspective.

Yeah i agree on the second part. I think the club are so used to Howe being the mouthpiece that they've not thought through this interim period. Also Eales ill health cant help.

Really enjoy Joe Hart as a co comms, I wouldn't mind Sky dropping Alan Smith for him.

I'm not really stressed about the CEO stuff. Eales is still in post. Whether he should br or not is s different matter.

Alex Scott plays like vintage Scott parker. I thought he was a bit more lightweight but he's definitely capable in this role. Anderson dropping deep like Bruno and dictating play. Not convinced on McAtee and think Scott would be better in that role. The midfield is very strong despite my early opinions. Carsley has played a blinder bringing Hinshelwood in, dropping gray and playing tino on the right. Tino makes up for Elliots lack of physical attributes.

I do like the directness of of this England team, reminds you a bit of how we play.

I like my ego massaged, Amanda was the best at it since Keegan.

Playing some lovely stuff mind.

Ive seen the club get criticism for over communicating in the past too though, especially pre takeover. I might be old school but I prefer the people at the top to keep their mouths shut as much as possible. Once a year will do me.

Aye, the CEO thing is mental tbh, we should have had one in ready for this window. They have had almost a year.

My frustration is at the speed we appear to move at rather tbh. It seems biblically slow compared to others. While I'm having a little moan I'll also bring up the poor communication between the club and fans as regards new roles and responsibilities now that Mitchell has gone (?) and Eales moving on. Who does what now? Who's responsible for what?

Agree, and I’m probably completely wrong, but it seems like the club are surprised about the prices quoted. I just assumed all the main background work will have been done in the last 18 months.

Communication is shite though, when Howe is not at the club it's like radio silence, At the bare minimum Mitchell should have sent out a business as usual message

Imagine having two Harvey's in your team. 😂

Stansfield feels like a competition winner.

Isn't that because of PSR and overspending though? As opposed to a slow process? I kind of get the slow thing when it comes to CEOs etc, they do take their time.

We're less aware of how long other clubs take to do deals because we're not constantly checking forums/social media to find out what they're up to. I don’t think we actually particularly slowly in the transfer market.

While I agree, a lot of that is PSR. It feels even now, we're trying overly hard to squeeze every penny out of deals for that very reason. Problem is, if you shop for PL proven, you're going to pay a premium.

If he has turned us down, I’d be amazed if we don’t now overpay for Elanga.

Just to play devils advocate, apart from a 2 director of footballs, one was a turncoat, the other just not the right fit, they've barely got a decision wrong in my mind.

England 1 - 0 Europe

Seconded

Get in!
