You did not.

Woody mate

Woody might be able to point out a few youngsters for Brands

 

[Bigduke1234]

You did not.

Figures, been that kind of day

Yeah sorry for the blunt answer, there were reports they were interested but I think it was rubbished a few days ago.

So probably not.

I would sign Cash from Forest and Watkins from Brentford

Cash and Watkins, sounds like some kind of Tailors shop on Savile Row.

 

[Neiler]

Nope.

You guys are underselling how hard this is. Leicester won the title. The last time a team not in the current "Big 6" finished top four before that? Us in 2005. This is a massive uphill battle. Maybe it could be done quickly but it is far more likely that a slow, gradual, year on year improvement is what will be necessary to make it up the slopes.

Bit of an oxymoron that, it used to be top four up to a couple of years ago.

Somebody else brought that up too. Name is irrelevant. If you want to say Spurs didn't count until Poch and City until the sheikhs it takes away like the two appearances from Spurs with the Bale and Van der bart type teams. So the point holds.

Only on this forum every other hour

Carlo likes his generals. I think we’ll get Allan and I also think we’ll get Silva and that is why we’ve not gone for Gabriel. And I’d be quite happy with that.

Maksimovic has seemingly performed well everywhere he’s been

Basically “top N”. N = the lowest point Man Utd, Liverpool or arsenal drop too

Zouma was right-footed, so was Jags.

I personally think people put far too much emphasis on what footed defenders are.

Same for wingers imo

Hmm I wouldn’t agree myself, its been more fluid I think over recent football history, I can remember a top two, then top four, now a big six over a relatively short peice of top English football history, that in itself shows a level of dynamic change within CL qualification and clubs breaking the glass ceiling. I can remember Blackburn, Newcastle and Leicester all playing CL, while we were finishing ahead of Mordor and Spurs annually not so long ago. The glass ceiling itself sometimes can be a mentality.

Well wingers is important because it affects how they attack a defender. In theory a defender should be tackling with both anyway.
