Lazarus

Garth Crooks going with a 3-3-3-1 formation https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62707562

Hope hes got good timing

So where does he fit in? He sits deep and allows Joelinton and Bruno to push up i assume?

That fire also has a glass wall at the back for the hot tub which you can just about see behind the chimney breast

Targett is underrated if anything. The lad is a natural defender and very good at what he does.

So whats with all the injuries? Is Howe pushing the players too hard and too early?

I see what you did there

He has a refreshing lack of tattoos

Theres a vid of Isak coming to the training ground and meeting the players and staff. He comes into the medical room with Trippier to say hello and has to duck under the doorway - hes at least 6'6 - got to be.

Thread title

I thought the Tranmere players studs went into the back of Krafths knee at the time

Think about it.... We make a thread about a player thats linked and the move fails to happen. Repeat at least half a dozen times. We dont have a thread about the Paqman so.....ITS HAPPENING AND I'M GONNA NEED MORE SOCKS!!

Skinny jeans are fine as long as they cover the ankle.

All those groups look tough.

I think clubs have player liaison staff - to help them settle into the area, find homes, schools for kids etc etc Not sure if we had any under Ashley though.

They once chinned Alan Robson live on air

Just watched it - poor bloke

I thought he was decent - he made a few excellent tackles late in the game. It was noticible though that he has zero pace.

Sounds like we are trying to get this ASAP, and understantably so. Ive said before - it must be mad being a footballer at times. Youre either at home resting or at the training ground and suddenly your told that a bid has been accepted and theres a plane waiting to take you 1000 miles north (ish) where you are prodded and poked by a stange medical team then unveiled as a new signing where you have to say "Great to be here" a hundred times to a gaggle of press. Players who move around a lot must be used to it but its nuts

Underrated

Half the team must be getting airlifted to the RVI

Sure Ive seen this line up in one of @Johnny's formations
