Yeah but the list of players they've produced is absurd. Not saying we copy the style they have but was hoping we'd invest much more on our academy at this point.

La masia really is goated.

Yeah he is but he didn't do well in the league we play in. And the fee was like 40m it would have been a massive risk for us and I'm sure most people would be saying wtf. I purposely watched a lot of them last season as I wanted to see what the fuss was about with Anorim and Rasmus looked absolutely rancid every time. Can't compare him to Orsula who cost us 10+5 and is on a low salary.

Because he stunk the league out? Couldn't trap a bag of cement and thought he was at participating in royal rumble. Would have been a massive gamble.

Issue is, Wissa is missing for 2 months at least which really hurts. Also he's had no pre season and will be returning from injury. He might be well off the pace for a couple of months after missing a couple of months

Agree with this, Eddie's going to have to work miracles again this season as we are going to have to evolve weather we like it or not. I'm not sure we have all of the tools in place to do so but I wouldn't ever bet against the Gaffa he's just that good.

He looking really good on the ball like, but wasn't tested defensively really.

As we've got big Nick who's more of a facilitator more goals are needed from the flank and central midfield. Dynamics obviously change a bit when Wissa is fit but we are still going to have 2 months where it might be a bit of a slog. Possibly more given the daft cunt went on strike and had no pre season.

In a 2? Big ask in a 3 i would aye. The Leeds result is a bit of a kicker looking back, we really wanted more points on the board so we could have rotated against Wolves but I think we just needed the 3 points too much to risk it.

Thank we will need a 3 man midfield for this game, Bruno looked dead on his feet so might be suicidal playing him in a 2.

3 at the back?

Even if he regains some form are people willing to renew him? We should be aiming for better imo.

Reckon Ramsey is the Willock replacement. We didn't have funds to go big Isak money came too late and we were already scrambling.

Looks like an elite shot stopper, would have liked to see him put under more pressure from set pieces though.

He was great tonight was really impressed by him. It's absolutely mental our right flank is stronger than our left now

I agree but I do think we tried too initially but obviously it didn't work out. I think Elanga is meant to be the starter and he looked dangerous tonight the best he's looked for us so far. Unfortunately for him Murph has come on and got an assist. I share your worry about goals though.

Absolutely we needed a squad and or course it's a long term thing too, my preference is we buy starters and have true competition but ultimately Eddie likes to bed players so the way we've gone about things probably work well for his methods.

I think by the end of the window people were just fed up with it and wanted it over with. Not keen on the approach we've taken personally but obviously circumstances exist and I can see the logic of it.

Aye massive kick in the teeth he wasn't fit.

This would be high on the list of games I don't want to play after playing Europe

Because his output generally is top notch, he scores and he actually has a good cross on him so he makes up for his limitations with his output. The issues come when your relying on him to come up with magic it isn't his game and it's beyond his capability.

Fair play, but bloody hell that's desperate

He was ok and I don't actually blame him for missing that chance, I thought it was an outstanding save from Joan. That being said, Harvey's skillset means your counting on his output and if he isn't scoring or assisting you aren't getting a great deal.

If he's fit he should be starting.

Id be amazed if this wasn't an Eddie signing. He has final day on all transfers.
