Billy the Kidd

Oooo, that reminds me of the Denmark kit from the early 90s or late 80s with the Laudrup brothers. Loved that kit...

I would be very surprised if we were thinking about bringing Chambers back. Where are we thinking of playing him, and i seem to recall he left after being a bit of an arse. I imagine he could be cover for RB and CB, but we are well covered for CB, and I’d imagine we want someone better for RB than him, I’d think Jack Stephens is similar standard at RB than him.

It also talks about Obafemi in that article. Isn’t it now confirmed he is out for an extended period of time through injury, so unlikely to go to Swansea?

Totally agree, Tadic was outstanding and had to play in one of the most boring teams with Puel and Hughes I think I have ever witnessed. If Ralph was in charge back then, he would be up there with De Bruyne for assists each season, especially with Ings. I know people used to say lots about Gabbiadini, and the runs he used to make, and that Tadic couldn’t find him. I never quite agreed with that, and that many Gabs just wasnt as good as we’d hoped, and his return to Italy hasn’t exactly been prolific. Tadic in this set up would be awesome, imo, although a mute point. Main thing is, we haven’t really replaced that creativity in the team. Boufal was the obvious possibility, but his inconsistency just didnt suit Ralph’s tactics at all.

So, I would imagine a left side CAM to play off of Ings was the obvious choice, but I expect Ralph wants to keep trying Redmond or Djeneppo. I still wouldn’t be surprised if Bertrand signs a new contract and we also look at adding more game time for Vokins next season. But for sure, it doesn’t appear to be working down that side which makes us predictable down the right. I wondered if he will actually see about Eloynoussi next season after his spell in Scotland, not sure if him boasting his confidence will work out after the disaster of Pellegrini and Hughes (think he was there with Hughes, anyhow). Btw - ive been lurking for a few years on here viewing, so thought I’d give it a go...
