I'm sure David Batty was around 28 ish when KK signed him and he was 'oven ready' from the off. Zero bedding in time. Would be fairly similar with KP I think. Just needs to learn a bit of our style of play and get his match fitness levels up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insert Philips into 1-0 v Liverpool, 2-1 v West Ham and 2-1 v Wolves (obv if he was fit) and I'd tell you thats +7 points. What he does in those matches is what we're lacking when closing out games. Would say the above applies to Ruben Neves too. Edited November 13, 2023 by Kanji Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelphish Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I'm still not entirely sure what the end game of Ashworth openly discussing the situation was. Reeks of tinfoil but he's a very intelligent man cleary, so what gives? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Pretty Sure Ashworth was coming out early and acknowledging something that was already likely scheduled/about to be scheduled/been bitched about by other clubs before hitting the press.

Should be the other way around imo. They stay clear of clubs that are being difficult. Hoping that Saudis don't touch Man United's players after their farcical demands for Lingaard.

Yeah that's him. Was still quite young when they bought him, and with the change in manager, seems to have got lost in the shuffle. Looks like he is starting to get more opportunities this season though. Think he's so talented and they should have used him far more by now. Would love to nick him off them. Unreal skill and technique and facilitates things from that deeper position in a similar way to Bruno. Better athlete though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven’t got that to spend. Halve it and cleverness with FFP would work but you get the sense someone like Branthwaite from Everton as needy sellers to fund Bramley Dock would make more sense.
