Superb signing. This is the one I wanted. Great day all round.

Hopefully not. According to SSN if he goes they will buy two centre-backs, so they may not be thinking of ‘like for like’ replacement(s).

It’s pretty low… think the figure I heard for the Ipswich purchase was £17m.

Still a bit concerned that if Guehi leaves Palace (likely) that they may come in for THB. There may be a other twist in this window to come…

Guess I shouldn’t rush to judgement… Matty aside, some promising news today.

More “future promise”…. It’s getting a bit deflating.

True. I should learn to enjoy the moment, but… you know…

Not out of the question that Matsuki will be loaned out this week and BBD retained…

Wooooooowwww!!!!!

Possibly ‘oriental’…

“The little Japanese lad”?

AA is out according to Sky (🙏)

Now TV is pretty easy… just go to ‘Sports’ from the main menu. Move down the main screen until you see ‘Competitions’ and select ‘Carabao Cup’. All live games will be shown, move along to the right and select Norwich v Saints.

But we went up. So who cares? It’s a very binary perspective to think all goals conceded are solely the fault of the keeper.

I’d be delighted if Matty F stays, but fear a bid will come in that will be close enough to their valuation. That aside, I’d be happy with Azaz and the wingers. Assume Tom Fellows is too much to ask for?

I think that’s what he needs to work on when he has a settled squad. I also think it’s somewhat difficult for relegated clubs where PL clubs circle their prized assets but don’t always move until late in the window (eg Dibling/Fernandes) which then has the knock-on effect of those clubs not being able to recruit key players earlier in the window.

Well he made changes, on that occasion it worked. I suspect Juric, Rusk, Martin wouldn’t have done.

I’ll agree there, but for whatever reason he’s avoiding starting with 442 atm - I think as he feels he doesn’t have the right offensive mix for that formation. No guarantee that starting with 442 would have improved our results or performances of course, but I’d prefer to see it too.

I have no insider information, but I’d be astounded if they only worked on one formation in training. They’ve switched between 3 & 4 at the back in-game, so must have worked on both. For whatever reason he thinks 442 is suboptimal atm with the players he has (I’d prefer 442 too!). Hoping things will change if the board bring in the talent he needs - given their track record I’m nervous about that too!

Some good points, esp about Downs/Charles having too much to do.

So you’d rather he didn’t make changes if things aren’t going well? It’s one or the other…
