TRon Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 2 hours ago, RS said: Dyer was a self-entitled prick. Remember photos of his Bentley in disabled parking bays at cinemas etc. Brambles greatest game at stJames’ was without doubt the 5under1and game. Bellamy was a bit of a horrible cunt tbh, but he has always been treated as a hero, although I'm not sure that love was returned in kind. Always thought he was a bit sniffy about his time here.

Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Also all this stuff about FFP, keep in mind the club will have known about these limitations for ages. Also keep in mind the club has been lying to journalists all summer. Keep in mind that the club have also reportedly sent out fake scouting delegations to obfuscate. Transfers be coming.

Disco Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Be funny if that was your job at the club. Just feeding local journalists absolute horse shot on a weekly basis. Couldn’t think of anything better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NobbySolano Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 7 hours ago, Optimistic Nut said: If the options are: Trippier plays 40 games and Manquillo/Krafth play 15 games & new left-back plays 40 games and Targett 15 (Burn returning to the CB pool) Or Trippier plays 40 games and Livramento plays 15 games & Burn plays 40 games at left-back and Targett 15, what would you prefer? Ideally we get both, but left-back is more important for me if it's one or the other. Play it the other way around: Trippier plays for 10 games, and Krafth or Ashby (lol) plays for 45 games & new LB plays for 40 and Target/Burn play for the balance Or Trippier plays for 10 games, and Livramento plays for 45 games & Burn plays for 40 games with Targett the rest The drop off in quality at RB is massive. The likelihood that you have to play the back up is also likely higher (given age and style of play). Not to mention that Burn plays LB because tactically it fits better - he becomes 3rd CB in attack, freeing Trippier to go forward. 7 hours ago, Optimistic Nut said: Get a left-back who can do the same other side and just do what teams have always done, if one goes forward, the other sits? Then he's not the one having to be the one bombing on all game. This is by design... at least last year. If you have a LB to bomb, you are not going to hold Tripps back to become 3rd CB. You would have both go forward and have to hold Bruno and Joelinton/Tonali/Longstaff to provide cover for the defense. Now, you only need to hold 1 of them back - so who do you rather have in a amore advanced position? a new LB or Bruno? We need to upgrade the squad in general, and LB would be great but not a priority. We know our starting 11 can get the job done, and we know the next 11 are absolute garbage. In a pre-FFP world you upgrade the starting 11 and dump the shit, but not in this world where you have pick your spots. At this time, you have to close the gap to your backups and at RB you are not going to upgrade on Tripps. Its not that different than the problem with Schar - although you could arguably upgrade Schar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always loved this little snippet from Bobby: "He looks overweight, but he isn't. If you see him stripped, he's like Mike Tyson. He doesn't bite like Tyson - except in the tackle!"

Bellamy was treated like a lovable rogue, as you yourself have alluded to. Dyer was hated by a large section of our fans and there was no 'But he's our twat about it". I don't know if you were part of these forums back then, but there was a fair bit of genuine hatred expressed towards Dyer by a pretty significant section of the posters.

Never seen him but was quite positive about the initial reports, but then I read here that he's not particularly quick and that put me off pretty much. We definitely need someone with a turn of pace in the CB department. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
