Personally - Diallo, Brooks or Benson would be my choice in said order. Both would fill the void of what we're missing drastically improve us in the final 3rd, imo.
-
Look at who we've been linked with - Brooks, Benson, Diallo (admitidly Carvalio isn't) all left footed players who play on the right... Its pretty obvious that we're looking to sign a right winger, to play on the right and not some hipser "#7" who can play "false 9" to save a few quid.
-
You've been playing to many computer games mate. You're talking utter shite. A right winger will (hopefully) come in, to play off the right. Not in some hipster football manager configuration set up. If che leaves, we'll bring in a center forward, to play center forward.

I think that second Pen was the worst I've seen. PGMOL have absolutely ruined football. The handball law is all over the place to the point where I don't think anyone can be clear on what the rule is. They've absolutely ballsed up VAR to the point where I don't think you'd get a single supporter of it. But worst of all, they've seemingly set a precidence where any contact inside the box is now a penatly. They're encouraging players to dive and look for contact. i actually feel a bit sorry for ref's. Its a bloody hard job at that level and I'd say they make more decisions right than wrong, but they're just not allowed to use any common sense - on the field or behind a screen. A big change is needed at the top.
-
Alcaraz doesn't suit the way in which we're asking him to play. He'd absolutely destroy this leauge for a team that plays a bit faster on the counter attack.
-
My view on the game... Naturally dissapointing not to get the result after being so dominant and Ipswich dropping points. However, tricky place to go and on balance, I think a draw is a decent result away from home. We badly need more creativity in the side to turn these dominant performances into wins. Its what Leicester do so well and why they're going to win the leauge with a record total.
-
nah I disagree with this. It should have been a Red and with the benefit of VAR it would have been, it wasn't intentional though. Edozie was just too quick for him. Nasty tackle, should have been a Red, but he didn't mean it - imo.
-
Call me crazy, but i'm pretty confident championship referee's don't get to pick and choose the games they offciate
-
Similar for me, although I'd rest KWP, given he's one of our most important players. Probably means Stephens at RB, maybe Charles in at CB? Doyle or Dibbling to filling at CM? pretty sure SAA played a more central role pre-season as well (and looked bloody good).
-
What on earth are you rambling on about. We're clearly being linked with someone who can play on the right to fill the void of Tella. If Che goes, which is likley, we'll bring in a number 9 as well.
-
Because we didn't just give them an asset we eventually got £20m for. Had the tight Yank twats put their hand in their pockets - or to be more specific, the pocket of those they're borrowing money from - they'd have had him. Genuinely one of the lucky escapes that bunch of cowboys not buying us.
-
He's not the finished article and not a brilliant goal keeper - never will be imo. However, he's a massive part in us being able to play out from the back. He is brilliant with the ball at his feet and so comfortable under pressure. He's also commanding his box a lot more. Taking a load more crosses into the box.
-
Ideal window for me would be somethin like this; Out Che Mara (on loan) Holgate In Miovski (Che / Stewart Replacement) Ings (Loan) A right winger - someone like Diallo would be ideal. Being greedy, at a push, a CDM. I genuinely think if we can get a top quality forward and a decent right winger, we'll go up in the autos, with ease.
-
He needs to get out on loan and get some game time. I thought he'd get more this season, but seems to be 3rd in the pecking order behind a midfielder and Che who doesn't want to be here. Lets see if we can get him out to france or somewhere where he'll get game time and hopefully gain some confidence.
-
Success this season depends on how (and at this point im thinking if) Stewart returns. Had we signed Piroe (insert another top level champonship striker who has been fit all season), I think we'd be in the top 2 right now. Or at least much closer to them.
-
I can confirm, as a FACT, we will not be spending £20m+ on a player in this window.
-
Things to you can rely upon in life… Death, taxes, always/chapel end & Nick being bitter & jealous of the CoT’s connections.
-
As I've said, if he comes back its because there are no better options - not because he has a burning desire to return to the homeland.
-
Its been a busy few months tieing up loose ends. Looks like January will be a busy one. I can't say too much at this stage, but some might leave, some might join. Make of that what you will.
-
Because I know him and I know how desperate he was to get out. This whole 'hes a saints fan' persona was a load of bollox.
-
If he's moved his family back here, I'd suggest he's almost certainly not coming back here. He enjoys keeping his private life private or having a place available to himself.. if you catch my drift.....
-
I hate to break it to you, but if he was banging in goals in the PL, he wouldn't be linked with a varity of championship teams... on loan. I'm not in favour of brining him back - not because of his ability, but because he couldn't wait to leave and doesn't want to come back. We'd be 'last' resort. However, you could have said the as you have about ings, as you would have AA and he's done alright. Ings is clearly a cut above anyone else in the championship.
-
as a related side note to this.... Someone should probably remind Che that he is a big reason as to why we're in this leauge. If he didn't have the finishing ability of a 12 year old playing sunday leauge football, Ralph might have still been in a job. I thought this season might have been a good opportunity for him to score some goals, gain some confience and help us get promotion and him a nice move or payrise in the summer. Since the closure of the transfer window, he's been absolutely pathetic. Non-exsistant. If he's dissapointed he didn't get a move in the summer, he needs to look closer to home as to why noone would want him. If we can find a suiter, get him out the door and someone in who's willing to put a bit of effort in.
-
Which is kind of my point. Is JWP £30m better than Downes? For me, no. He's 5 years older so naturally has more experience, but other than corners (for which WH have significantly more threat from), is a run of the mill PL CM (not just saying now he's left - I've always consistently said that) Would WH be any worse off if they'd kept and played Downes over JWP? Impossible to answer, but again, not for me.
-
That is exactly what we need in this team. For far too long we've lacked any flair and have been far too safe. Yeah it didn't work, yeah he looked like a tit, but i'd much rather we gave licence to players like Alcaraz and Sully to try things and express their talent. I'd much rather looking like a tit in a game we've won and where the opposition offer 0 threat, than him turn into another Redmond.
