Well there we go, two people see completely different things so maybe somewhere in the middle wasn't too far off. I thought he was probably a bit more defensively minded but for the national team played a bit more forward and carried more of a threat.

He looks alright on YouTube. Seems to have a bit of everything. Only really played a season in France and still only 20 so not exactly experienced. Our midfield looks really light at the moment so definitely need to start seeing some coming in. I wonder whether he's viewed (in an ideal world) as well as Downes and O'Riley or if he's considered next best for one of those positions. Would appear to be a bit of a risk asking him to play the Downes role and doesn't carry the goal threat of O'Riley. I guess if we go with 3 CBs then there's less need for an out and out defensive midfielder (and Downes was far more progressive when we switched last season).

TBF trenches weren't designed for glass people. Although, thinking about it, glass people are ideal for that kind of warfare - that kind of transparency would make them far harder to hit. Unless he's made of stained glass. Is he made of stained glass or just usual glass?

Yep, when we got relegated I didn't worry too much because at least we'd tried to get Gakpo and Ramos.

I doubt he'd prefer struggling in the premier league to playing european football in a team that's just finished fourth in Serie A.

I guess Stewart could be the big lad up top - got the height at any rate. The clips I've seen don't really show that physical side of his game but maybe he's called the Loch Ness Drogba for a reason. I've not exactly written him off but it's almost a jump of two divisions after 18 months injury layoff so I'm not expecting anything fantastic from him but who knows?

Yeah, wouldn't be great relying on Delap but that's probably the budget we've got to work with. Fair play if we can find better and more experienced for the same or slightly more. Miovski looks a decent and clinical striker but I'm not sure he's got the physical presence to hold the ball up and bring others into the game - if we're going with three at the back then we'll need that. Brereton-Diaz looks like he could do that and proved he can score at premier league level. Both should be reasonably priced but outside of that I'm not sure - punt on a young player overseas I guess.

I thought it was Harrison Reed. Wouldn't be against it but would still need Downes or someone else as first choice.

People who forward on to you a long email trail without any summary of what they want and expect you to trawl through it and decipher what the fuck they're asking for. Lazy stupid cunts.

There's a precedent for that with Alec Douglas-Hume.

Wasn’t that through that transfer app thing that Rasmus’s brother runs?

To be fair Torino were supposed to be interested, he's only 23 and he's played 113 times for a decent team in Brazil. You'd like to think that there's something about him that would justify getting him in.

Ha ha, yeah, I was being polite. Don't really want to slag the bloke off without having seen him but even when you go onto YouTube it's hard to see anything particularly good.

I was under the impression that unemployment was relatively low so could just be we don't have enough people (of working age/too poor to retire early/fit to work)?

This was posted earlier in the thread: https://targetscouting.com/2024/05/01/welington-sao-paulo-scout-report/ It's not that promising.

Ha ha! Get in.

Liz Truss, yellow bellied coward

Need Truss and Rees Mogg to go, would top off a good night

Eastleigh gone Lib Dem. Rachel Reeves sounds like a dalek.

We could do a livestream on YouTube instead? Every other bugger is. I’ll start with BBC and see how it goes

Yep, me too. I’m going to have a kip after the exit poll and start watching again at 2.

TBH I always put those people down as Tories but unwilling to admit it.

I voted at lunchtime as well. Not very many other people voting and seen it busier in other elections. Given I'm in a true blue stronghold I'm taking that as a good sign. I do know two traditional tory voters in my constituency - one is a diehard tory and has decided not to bother, the other has voted Labour because of the National Service proposal.

Not so sure he was deemed surplus - my understanding was that he wanted to go back home, Semmens refused but Romeu went to SR and they agreed (have a feeling the deals for Edozie and Larios were linked to him going to Girona). In any case, he ain't coming back now.

Yep, I found that ironic too although when you’re defending a majority I don’t see how tactical voting helps you much.
