Ex Lion Tamer

You're right that he still has to prove himself but I think he will turn out to be better than both and manage in the Champions League (not with us sadly). He's far and away better than Adkins.

Ballard had three loans and Sam AA went on loan to Strasbourg?

Our lack of squad depth is already hurting us IMO. Last season we would have made some changes for this one to freshen up but there's no one we can really trust. Larin, Scienza, Bree all carrying a heavy load

He needs to be starting games week in week out otherwise he won't improve. 20 minutes here and there isn't enough and would be damaging for his development.

Pretty decent bench at this level too

Things can change but at the moment Ballard is a Bristol City substitute and this is who we are regretting the sale of

I think Bree could do with a rest but it's probably not an option

He didn't look good as a striker though

Still time to go to Austria or Belgium

10th most goal involvements in the league last season. He has to have more than he has shown so far

What is it about his experience working under Still that makes Archer want to link up with him again? Seems like a poor career move

It wasn't really a shortage of money that was the problem. We were prepared to spend £8m on Falchener but didn't feel it was good value to go any higher

I don't understand why people have interpreted Solak saying "our goal is to have the squad as strong as last year" with a promise that that would definitely happen

We are getting promoted this season so not needed

Supposedly Viking wanted a lot more, not just slightly more
