Dyeyzzon

Class group.

What's with the sudden switch to Group G again?

bye bye Anzhi

Delighted for you m8.

Yohan and Hatem playing on home soil.

No its Bordeaux

D!!!!!

B out.

D, E, L or G please.

Group E's also decent.

I'd like Stuttgart, Brugge and Helsingborgs. Decent away trips and a fairly open group.

He's off to watch the EL draw live iirc.

A striker we want on one of West Ham's genius clauses...where did I see this before?

Not sure if posted but...

Would love Santon to go back to Milan with us as he wanted.

I'm starting to feel that we aim for the perfect deal too much. Think we're missing out on some decent buys as we wait for the price to drop, the player to get unsettled and desire a move, the club to be in a position willing to accept bids, etc. I still respect Pards' judgment as it got us to where we are now. However in times like this when you're building to consolidate a thin squad for more games, we'd have to accept a no-frills approach to beef up our ranks imo.

So out of those in the club who could play left back, I'd say I'd go with this heirarchy. 1. Santon - Obviously our best LB. Not the best fullback in the world defensively (like everyone else though) but the best attacking fullback we have. 2. Raylor - While Santon's the best attacking fullback we have in terms of movement, he's the best in terms of delivery. Injured sadly but undoubtedly an asset to the team. Over the wall. 3. Perch - He seems to do well at any position we play him these days and he could make a depleted side look decent in a jiffy. 4. Fergie - Started out as a LB so he's an obvious pick here. A bit injury-prone atm though, but he's got bags of potential and has a good attacking instinct. 5. Anita - Not sure if Tav is better than him at LB, but Anita seems to have the attributes for the role. Pace, good defensively, good vision for deliveries, stamina and composure on the ball (Something which only he and Santon possess among our fullbacks imo.) 6. Tav - Appears to me as a Simpson-type player at the moment, which could obviously change as he matures. Not a natural LB, but young and still adaptable. 7. Jonas - One of the best defensive wingers imo. Full back is clearly not natural to him but he will put in a good shift when needed. 8. Good - Not a natural fullback and not seen him much but I'll place him here as I've read he's a ball-playing leftie who seems mature for his age.

Why? Will still be Santon's position with Simpson on the right. Not as starter, more of cover. We'd still play him in CM but if we get stretched by fixtures then I'd play him at LB.

With Raylor out, I think we'll be seeing him more often at LB.

He has one link-up: with Saylor using a back pass.

Have a feeling the people we deem unfit would score too.

Cracking away trips or a group that almost guarantees progress?

Group of death for us will prolly be Athletico Madrid, Napoli and Anzhi; or Inter, Bilbao then Anzhi again.
