No Pekhart actually scored a goal once sad to think we’ve spent circa 40 million on Tall Paul and Carrillo for the sum total of zero goals! Eek!

I presume they don’t get much internet access in US jails!! https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-9433109/amp/Former-Southampton-Portsmouth-midfielder-Jhon-Viafara-handed-11-year-prison-sentence.html

Didn’t he say how he always wanted to get in the first team here? Seems an odd thing to say if he wants to leave?

Any suggestions on stream sites please? Surprisingly difficult to find a bar to stream this to in Crete!

You have to wonder why bother then? All this rubbish squad filler is what’s gotten us where we are. Should be looking for a Bazunu replacement not a bench sitter.

Not sure I’d be comfortable with a 40 yr old CB. Clearly a decent player but will only go downhill from here. Liked him here the first time, appreciated what he did for us and enjoyed his doing well but he’d come back because the championship will still pay decent wages and we need something a bit more long term.

Just had the same thought. Doesn’t seem normal that we appear to be buying up the Man City youth team output. Also linked to multiple other academy “stars”.

Groundbreaking way to go about our business ey?! Cannot see anything going wrong with just signing kids in the championship no sir it’ll be plain sailing all the way! Why don’t city just buy us as a crèche for their academy stars? 😂

It’ll be something to do with number of games he plays. You just know they’ll work out he’s pony after 3 games and he’ll be returned to sender.

Must say think this appointment is another massive risk. Realistically we need to be in the promotion mix this season, to be down any longer than 2 season is disastrous for our club.

Pretty sure he is, from Brentwood made a big deal about being “back home”

His value will never be higher for us short of a miraculous prem season there which feels unlikely. He’ll also be into the last year of his contract further reducing his value. We either need to decide he won’t make it here/ he wants to leave or tell him he’s here for the next season.

With the youth team he always seemed to be more of an attacking threat. Possibly worth trying him further forward? Seems to be robust enough if nothing else!

This kid is so good. Dominated Partey and kept Odegard quiet all game. At one point he dropped a shoulder and took the ball pass Partey, before doing it again just to take the piss. Rolls Royce footballer. Just awful when we take him off! Diallo is such a drop off!

Pretty sure he was involved in some sort of fraud to do with cars and went on the run to avoid his comeuppance.

Can’t say I’m a big fan of that line up. Doesn’t say a lot for our winter signings that none make the starting line up. Guess we will see in about 2 hours if I’m right

If Nathan Redmond put in these performances he’d be getting hammered. He’s been less than average bar a couple of take ons that have looked ok. No better than Edozie and in less good form than Tella who we could have brought back and saved ourselves 20million.

Personally I would start PO and Sule to get them match fit. I’d be tempted to try Adams and PO together up top to see if that could work as well. Basically we need to remember how to score goals, have we scored 3 in a game this year yet?!

Looks like we will have to put out the 2nd best team in Europe now then 😂

Telling the bloke to be more of a “defender” when he’s a highly experienced International is embarrassing. All it’s meant is our CBs now just boot the ball long.

Chris Woods in goal as well 😂

The reality is they could start a 3rd choice team and where we to somehow do a goal they'd sub on 5 50m plus players and blow us away!

Apologies mixed it up with the link to Jackson. Hopefully brings a bit of physical presence to the side then!

Are you basing that on the 2 goals he’s scored this season?

When you consider that Croatian GK was linked in the press today for 15 million Euros you see how much Shields has stitched us up with Gavin.
