Ward Prowse has returned to West Ham - wonder if he's going back out on loan.

Surely Bednarek is worth more than 8 million euros? I know he's not brilliant, but he's a top championship, just about prem level defender. We'd struggle to replace him for that.

Prutton was brilliant under Redknapp until the Arsenal incident. That Liverpool game him and Crouch were incredible and I thought we'd be fine. Draper was a waste of space. Silly comparison.

On paper, even with the likely leavers as you mention there, we should have a very strong championship side. In terms of long term building a competitive premier league side, of the players who might stay the only ones with premier league potential are Wood, Edwards, Bednarek, Charles and SAA IMO and most of them are still a long way off. We're going to need a few strong transfer windows if we have any chance of competing in the prem in the next 2-3 years.

Not sure I understand what happened with BBD. I know he wasn't great for us, but he's shown more in the prem previously then any of our other attackers but seemed to not get much of a chance.

He is - he's very competent. He should probably dump Reeves to sweep the bad PR under the carpet and start afresh. He could also do with someone likeable in his cabinet he can send to do the TV rounds, but he prioritised 'seriousness' in his cabinet to be effective against the "Buffon" tories in the election.

You'd think a back 5 of Ramsdale, Taylor, ABK, Bednarek and KWP would be competitive in the prem. Shame our midfield and attack are completely below this level though.

Yep, think that's it and tbh I've been surprised how poor Labour's PR has been in power considering how good they were at taking apart the Tories in the last couple of years.

As it stands we're on course to break Derby's points record. I'd be pretty happy with a manager who comes in and brings some respectability to the season and sets us up for being competitive in the championship next season.

Certainly getting lots of backing and they'll almost certainly grow/make gains over the next few years. Populist party with no real substance though, so will need to change that at some point and that will reign them back in a bit.

For reference:

Assuming RM's contract extension is announced pre-game, I think we'll nab the lead then lose 4 or 5 - 1.

He's show himself to be a brilliant attacking midfielder / #10 and did at times here, but we played him mostly on the wing where he was less effective.

My gut says that Cleverly could beat Jenrick, who's frankly not very inspiring. But I don't think the Tory members would be able to resist Badenoch and her extreme anti-wokeness.

This £20k sandal is a non-started. The sausages comment will do infinitely more damage, noone truly cares about this one.

Southgate.

Ian Wright is wonderful, a national treasure. Shearer is very good. Richards is hugely affable and IMO he continuely improves as a pundit, which shows he cares. Big difference from the rentagobs like O'Hara, Bent etc.

Manage the home team at a world cup and no doubt with a fat pay packet, not a bad option.

At the very least Onuachu should be effective for the Wout Wghorst 1-0 down with 15 to play role.

Would work as a front sweeper, but not sure in the more progressive role.

bit harsh, was just sharing my opinion

12 odd million sterling for ABK isn't bad for a player not in the first team plans but hard not to feel a pang of disappointment. Clearly showed tremendous talent.

Home grown, good age, 19 goals last year. Certainly a bit of a risk as he's only done it once, but if he is able to maintain last seasons form for the next few years its more than a fair price. As mentioned, there aren't loads of great #9s out there at the moment.

It would be much easier legally to send people to the Falklands though - the whole stupidity of the Rwanda policy is it was legally unworkable (and they knew it). Can't image the people of the Falklands will be thrilled.
