Definitely worked today. If that's our game plan, getting those quality crosses in is the way to go. I think that's his best position as it plays to his only real strength.

Our main problem is the slow tempo. We're struggling to unlock teams because of this.

It gets worse on their transfer thread...

Seems to be a lot of parallels between both sets of fans regarding the attitude towards their squads, managers and board. I can't imagine this game will be anything other than dull. Not sure why Sky have decided to broadcast two out of form teams against each other but there you go.

Bring no forwards in last summer after our barren run at the end of last season was a serious lack of judgement on his part. It wasn't an incredible window by any means. We signed good players in the wrong positions.

OUT OUT OUT

Can we have a similar poll for Les Reed?

Boufal off. lol

That's Romeu suspended.

It really is unbearable how bad we are.

Soooo, should we start a petition or something?

Well.

Please Mr. Gao I beg you. Please please please get rid of Les Reed, Mauricio Pelligrino and half the squad. We're in severe need of a clean out!

It's quite sad really, how much we've declined... Not sure how much longer I can keep paying to go to these games.

Surely that's it for Tadic?

"Luke's concentration slipped and he clattered into Jones's car." If he can't concentrate on one task, it doesn't bode well for concentrating on a forward line...

Mitrovic according to some Serbian news source called 'Mondo'. http://www.nufcblog.co.uk/2017/11/14/mitrovic-wants-out-at-nufc-two-premier-league-rivals-have-upped-their-interest-reports/

They've gone and done the Olympic stadium now.

Would love to see an AVB or Pellegrini but the money it would take to prise them away from China makes it very unlikely. Who was the last manager we signed that was already employed? I think Van Gaal would be quality (not sure what the wages situation would be there though) as he is that big name manager that will settle the ship, much like Koeman after the Pochettino/Cortese fiasco. I'd like to see us go for some pedigree this time instead of another gamble. EDIT: Just remembered it was Adkins, didn't exactly cost a fortune though...

What about Van Gaal?

True, but I wouldn't start feeling like we've let some gem slide through our fingers.

Gazzaniga is a decent back up goalkeeper but lets settle down here. He's unlikely to ever be anyones first choice in this league.

As I alluded to in the other thread, makes sense to me if Bertrand was to go.

How so? Shaw was great here.

Well, if Bertrand really wants out, Shaw may be a feasible option.
