Give it up Dave, it's okay to be wrong now and again xSecond string GK. They cant do that again. £20M would be their most outrageous price set for Pope.

assuming you didn't watch him yesterday?
Every year besic puts in an average performance and every year people argue for him to stay.
He was extremely average on loan... what makes anyone think he has come back a better player?
Runs like he is in quick sand. Waste of a squad number, but he isn’t the only one!

Pope will be number one. He hasn’t been playing because he was at that thing called the World Cup I believe.Heaton is captain and back in the No1 jersey for preseason games. Looks ominous for Pope.
I don't want him to stay really just wondering why the midfield links haven't been stronger, I can only think Silva thinks he can work with what he has or we will get someone last minute because that midfield is crap to be frank. I don't feel confident with Morgan being a first teaners either. But I suppose he has the distribution for a Silva team if he's arsed but he is weak mentally and physically doesn't protect our defence.
It may have only been a friendly yesterday but he controlled everything. It was a good display for someone who wants to prove himself to a new manager.

He made more of a statement yesterday then the rest put together
Our midfield is utterly terrible, so when people say we should sell Besic im extremely baffled, hes probably our best midfielder.
Usually I’d lamblast you for that but potentially it’s a true statement. I don’t trust snieds mentality has the ability but attitude is horrendous, Gana is a limited passer and doesn’t have the best positional awareness, Davies could be our best but he’s too much of a headless chook and makes basic tactical and technical mistakes. Besic has the attitude and swagger to match is probably our best passer from deep, can carry the ball fine and is a superb tackler. If he can get a run of games and see if he has actual footy IQ could be a playerOur midfield is utterly terrible, so when people say we should sell Besic im extremely baffled, hes probably our best midfielder.
Probably the same people who think Davies can do no wrong because he's a blue and had one decent game a few years agoSadly people just cant give the lad a chance.
If only we had bought him for 40m all those years ago, people might be more willing to judge him.
I don't mind Besic he has the attributes that could I work in that box to box role If he could get a run I wouldn't be against it I just don't know if he's physically up to it (he keeps getting injured) also I wonder if he needs first team football at this stage. I still think our issue remains midfield, a box to box player with power and pace is the least we need. Ideally I'd bring in two midfielders but it looks like we'll be making do.
