Yep, but when push comes to shove it doesn’t hurt to be seen in this way.

Review of Colback: ”Worked well with O’Brien alongside him. The two of them seemed to form a decent understanding, even if the attacking platform wasn’t necessarily there”. O’Brien a new signing, not sure of position but guessing CM?

I think it is probably the preseason mix and match which leads to this opinion. Which to be fair, in a nod to Rafa, has been a triumph for system over personnel. But moments of magic win tight games and I agree, not confident many of our back-ups have many of those moments in them.

I bet he does! ?

Nottingham Forest’s preseason results: Forest 1 - 3 Coventry Burton Albion 0 - 1 Forest Barnsley 0 - 0 Forest Forest 3 - 1 Hertha Berlin Forest 1 - 1 Valencia Worth noting that Hertha Berlin also lost to West Brom (2-1) and Derby Count (1-0). Line-up for Valencia: Dean Henderson Joe Worrall Steve Cook Scott McKenna Neco Williams Jack Colback Lewis O’Brien Harry Toffolo Jesse Lingard (Cafu, 77 mins) Brennan Johnson Sam Surridge (Taiwo Awoniyi, 62 mins)

Purely Bilbao-ta!

Haaland is just what City have been missing, to my mind. He’ll have a decent first season. I actually have a sneaking suspicious that Alvarez will have an even better one.

Pretty sure it is in this thread—twitter link with someone stamping on a flag.

Tbf, pretty sure they were hammering the right before he came on.

I’m not even letting loose both barrels of my deluded wish list! A secret already agreed Osimhen deal lurks in that murky corner of my mind.

Maddison and Cornet bought. Werner on loan. That should cover it.

I know it risks a wishful jumping to conclusions, but a sudden willingness to splash a large fee on a midfielder maybe linked but a strong sense of being able to fill another needed role with a loan, like Werner for instance.

I was there last weekend and there was a stray one flying around the atrium and into the corridors, thinking you may not have been as far away from a dead pigeon as you think!

I think he’s looked ok. Would love to enthuse more about what he’s showed in the PSFs, but just think he’s been alright; didn’t look out of place. Don’t think he’s done enough to be seen as a reliable option in the coming season. But then people who know better will make the decision.

That’s the Scots, not the Welsh ?

Positive experience?

How did Alvarez look?

Wouldn’t shock me, given Bruno’s gradual introduction. But obvious difference is the time Botman has had with the squad and the preseason games, and his performances in them. Are you thinking just loyalty to current shirt holder (not a comment on playing style ?) or something else?

That’s lovely, man. Cherish those days.

Hope the, England based, Bilbao fan who stuck his/her head in here (can’t find posts) had a great day in Newcastle.

Steady, calm, so often in the right place he makes it look easy. Great signs for a very top drawer centre back.

Great work Sven.

Paraguayan coming on.
