I'd prefer it if we competed with the actual West Ham.

Is Akachukwu playing midfield? Don't know much about him but I thought he was more of a wide player? Whoever plays there the midfield looks pretty weak although I if you decide not to play Downes or Matsuki then I it's always going to look like that. Don't think taking young kids and playing them out of position is best for their development but guess we'll see.

Not sure I catch your drift but There Will Be Blood bored the shit out of me. Each to their own though. Keeping the positive aspect of the thread, Tom Cruise has done some decent films. Loved A few good men, and Days of Thunder is a great popcorn film. Also forgot to mention that life affirming and pretty funny at times holocaust one, Life is Beautiful

I guess maybe it could be quibbling over wages or playing time? Does seem strange to go back in after a refusal (if that’s what has happened)

Hard to pick a worst film but films I particularly dislike include: Apocalypse Now The Deer Hunter Raging Bull There will be blood Thin Red Line Mulholland Drive Easy Rider Pretentious boring crap the lot of them.

Jaws every time. Not much point listing other favourites as they’ve all been mentioned at least once but Jaws tops them all anyway.

Not sure about pace but the lad looks about as close to a Stewart replacement as you can get in the videos I've seen. Have to bear in mind it's the Austrian league so the quality isn't that great but there's been some decent "big man" strikers developed in Austria like Haaland, Sesko, Hojlund. Anyway, video:

Amidst all the doom and gloom there is one bright spot. BBD didn't even make the bench against Stoke which probably means Villa have bid for him and it's likely his head has been turned by the prospect of big cup football.

Didn't think it would be possible to be priced out of a move for Tom Cannon. Lucky escape for Preston.

My first reaction was Edozie was offside as well, I’m not quite in line and a little further up so will be interesting to see the highlights but yeah, looked off to me,

Largely agree, it’s a pain in the arse but not unexpected. Trick is to only lose those players where the deal makes sense for both the club and the player. The length of both Charles and THB contracts means we’ll maximise profit and hopefully reinvest it. Jander and Scienza will need fuck off bids. Can’t lose all your best players in one window as that destroys any continuity

As much fun as it is to talk about the semantics of various things various people have said, I'm hopeful we can start getting some decent links for potential new signings. Way more fun.

It was a joke, but have gold star anyway.

Sometimes does feel like when managers get a full preseason under their belt after taking over mid season that they feel they have an opportunity to impose a preferred style or system and probably explains why the players in pre-season were talking about a lot of tactical work rather than fitness work. Not really confined to Tonda as Ralph did it with that suicidal back line pushed up too high. Hopefully Tonda isn't trying to be too clever and realises the things that stood us in good stead for most of last season.

Nah, you can't really have someone who doesn't play. That probably rules out Fellows as well.
