He's only replaced him in the team because we couldn't sign the players we'd initially targeted. He was brought in to push Stephens and Wood down the pecking order and improve the left side of central defence. Doesn't really make much difference but just seems a bit of a revisionist argument to suggest this was the plan all along.

Is Schlotterbeck a replacement for THB? Had we not sold him, THB would have been playing alongside him. Club clearly wanted someone else in which is why they were going for Falchener and the Austrian lad.

Get the impression Mubama is probably a decent finisher and will score goals if he's given chances but getting involved in the build up or holding the ball up isn't really his thing.

Yeah, I can't believe anyone would actually bid 4M for Edozie. Probably £4.

Rak-Sakyi would be an almost like-for-like replacement for Edozie if he leaves. Like for like in the sense that he's not that good and doesn't have much end product.

Just out of interest, where's this 90M + on transfer fee instalments come from?

Yep, top of my wishlist for the summer was to sell one of the best defenders in the division and replace with a kid who's played 13 games of adult football. Guaranteed success. As for the second part - surely the question should be directed at Spors - why the fuck are you scouting and prioritising players that you're not likely to be able to sign?

Probably quite sensible and worth waiting 'till we've seen all the players play a few games before passing judgement but on the face of it, it feels like we're weaker than at the end of last season. JWP may well turn out to be a shrewd signing but I'd rather have Charles in the squad so on that basis, weaker. Appreciate very difficult to replace a 30M player and maybe unrealistic to expect it. Dobbin as Azaz cover, yeah, in an ideal world then it's nice to have but 9M seems a lot for a player that so far looks exactly like Archer. He did get a lot of "goal involvements" last season so maybe he shines later on but so far he hasn't really stood out for me. Mubama on loan or Stewart? Stewart every day of the week for me. Mubama will probably have a blinding season now and score shedloads. Central defence is a hard one, the German lad looked pretty good but potentially replacing THB with a kid who's played 13 games of senior football is a massive gamble. Sounds like he wasn't our preferred option either so looks like Spors and the recruitment team agree on that. Might be the most pragmatic or sensible thing to do if finances are tight but as strong as or stronger in that area? Probably not. I did honestly think we'd replace THB and Charles with better but I guess we'll have to trust Spors and Tonda and see how it goes.

Just asked AI to summarise the Millwall fans reaction to their defeat and apparently they’re not very happy about being “thundercunted back to London” 🤣

Yeah, for all we know it’s the club not risking a saleable asset rather than the player.

Using that logic then Tonda clearly rates any of the players in the squad. Against Watford when we looking to get back in the game he brought on Edozie ahead of Fellows and when questioned about it didn’t really come out with an answer. All just guess work and I hope he stays but wouldn’t surprise me if he did leave.

Fair criticism and doubt he’ll ever score many goals but I like him as a player, just wish he’d play more like a winger. The thing that annoys me the most is when we bring on Larin or Stewart but then immediately sub off Fellows.

Yeah, depends what the finances were like but if you can get him back to the form he showed at the start of the prem season then he’s one of the best players in the division.

To be honest, I’m not sure Tonda does rate him. He’s been dropped a few times and gets subbed fairly early pretty often. Personally think Tonda wants the wide players to be more inside forwards and cutting in rather than going wide.

Haven’t seen too much of him but whenever I have I’ve struggled to find anything funny as well. Don’t find him annoying or anything, he just wasn’t very funny. Never seen Traitors and have no intention of watching it but seems like a lot of people like it
