Ex Lion Tamer

Yes, I don't see anyone offering enough to make it worth us selling

Not trying to be clever but what wide attacking players do you think do suit that style of play? I'm struggling. Nathan Redmond?

We are crap, not disputing that! Just think Sulemana has offered even less, despite showing the odd flash of skill

Whereas Sulemana would have made a huge difference if he'd played more, with his total lack of ability to either set up or score goals. I think people are being a bit blinded by the fact that Sulemana scored two goals in a dead rubber at the end of the season, against a Liverpool team that had clearly checked out for their summer holidays and were literally passing the ball to us at times. Even Adam Armstrong scored against them! It's a bit like Aribo's wonder goal in pre season really

I wonder if this is about Swansea disrupting a rival ahead of the new season. Making us wait for our new manager

I'd suggest it's more about positional sense, keeping the shape and making life difficult for the opposition without actually making tackles or anything that can be measured in stats. I'm not saying Ely is an amazing player but this is why he was in the team

If you've got two players with no end product then you might as well play the one who's good off the ball

I do wonder if he would turn Wolves down and stay with us if they were his best option

Not sure what Selles did wrong. Liverpool game aside, he didn't do enough to play every week. There's no doubt he has potential to play at the top level but his end product is so far away from where it needed to be, even for us. Agree he'll do well in the champ if he stays though, and it would be good for him

He wasn't getting game time for Rennes either. He only got one start all season. We actually vastly increased his game time. He'll be so far from the first team at Juve, it would be a really bad move.

There will always be young players that will come to us. They might not be as good as the ones we could have got in the Premier League, but there will be a sweet spot where we can find some quality for our new level. You can also guarantee that the club will sign some more youth at it's in the business model

I agree. He hasn't ever nailed down a spot at Premier League level but would be good in the champ so wouldn't think he's an automatic to leave

New GK Tino | Stephens | Bednarek | Perraud New DM | Smallbone Alcaraz Tella | A Armstrong | Sulemana Would be pretty strong at this level

I wonder if he's going to the US? Championship is surely his level if he's staying in England

Centre back and centre mid are the key positions we'll need to invest in I reckon

You reminded me that we only used to go for managers who were out of work. Even if there are doubts about the appointment, it is a big step that we're actually paying for managers now

Why do you think he has failed at every job since?

It's the kind of situation that needs a single minded ideologue like Martin really

Like Mourinho and Wenger 🤔

I'm sure these sorts of conversations happen all the time. Call to the agent, not interested, move on

It's not a good thought is it! He has to be shipped out you would think, even though he could probably do well in the champ for someone like Luton

Try and press against that and you'll be knackered after an hour. That's the theory anyway

I do think it's tough for teams at the bottom of the table to do but we're a big fish now and ought to be able to play it

The new manager hasn't even started yet!
