They just got here but if you are referencing Kuol, he isn't progressing for sure. Minteh worked aye?

They are serious about stocking the academy with real prospects it seems.

Gordon is perfectly fine on the right. *ducks the drinks being thrown at me*.

Didn't see it and don't know much about Quansah but he's English and Transfer Market has him worth 22m, not that this fact means fuck all.

I doubt anything less than 80M, and I'd push for more.

Yea I missed that. Sounds rather dodgy reporting but who knows. Lots of things in football are dodgy to be fair.

Where did you see that?

I'll bite. While selling Gordon for 80M has it's upside, the squad morale and dressing room dynamic may take a dive. Gordon can play RW just fine although some on here just don't agree which is reasonable. I like Barnes alot and since I do not know the budget we have I'd not make that move unless the budget was zero. Flash will be a center piece next year.

That was indeed a great read. So sorry to see her move on. She made things happen and was a passionate supporter. I would guess she's got a place in the clubs history now.

We agree I think he's a bit better on the left but he's fine on the right. I think he's better the Almiron on the right. That is my opinion. I like Miggy coming on later in a game so this doesn't seem dire to me.

Gordon is good at it. He's played plenty there and with Tino backing him up I think he'd be fine.

I would agree, but new season and new outlook for the gaffer I would hope.

Why would the default front 3 not be Gordon, Barnes and Isak? Why would Miggy get in before Gordon and yes, he absolutely can play RW.

Better chance of signing Messi next week. Brighton paid good money for Minteh and Forrest did us a solid.

OK you fuckers, you want my opinion on this? Oh, I see. Right then. Cheerio lads. I'll be off then. (it is getting tedious)

I would guess Howe won't trot out the same lineup every game plus situationally Big Joe either starts or subs with Hall depending on the game situation. Howe does seem to have options now at Midfield.

I didn't see the game today but a midfield of Bruno-Hall-Tonali with Kelly at LB and Tino/Tripps at RB seems like it could go pretty far.

He just come on? Can't see the game here.

For the fee we got, I doubt either was included.

Decent summary of the current situation.

I suspect they kept that Liverpool interest in their back pocket as a nuclear option should all else fail at the very end of the PSR period. I highly doubt he'd have been sold unless they felt all other options were exhausted.

Maybe, but he needs to get used to it. Not seen too many jobs where you answer to no management unless you own the whole shop.

I mean that's true, but during the hiring discussions he came in knowing exactly what the manager is and how he plays, right. It wasn't some shocking thing. I'm not clued in obviously but do DOF normally dictate style on the pitch? I will agree totally that they need to meet in the middle to make everything work but should be true of every single club in the world.

Seems like bullshit to me but who knows?
