Lee On Solent Saint

Think Armstrong wants a career in Law after he finishes playing.

No issue with a player leaving to better themselves etc, its all about the manner of the departure and the way the move was handled. Seems a common theme for transfers between us and Liverpool, with Lovern and Van Dyk similiar.

Has anyone thought about the possibility that he could be being brought in to coach the women's team?!

I'd be more worried about the amount of wedge we are paying him if he does sign.

I would expect him to go back to Leeds on loan if a deal could be done. He needs to go back to basics to get his career back on track.

Dragged that up on Wikipedia? There's a massive difference to Poland squads now from 25 years ago.

Am fuckin glad you aren't in charge of our recruitment

Can't wait for all his bullshit quotes about coming back home etc.

The lawn mower stuff was comedy gold.

That's what I fear the most. From his interviews etc he comes across as being quite loyal to a core group of players. Nothing wrong with that, but you have to be realistic when you step up a league that certain members of a team aren't going to complete the journey with you. We've all seen the likes of Stephens, A Armstrong and Bazuna struggle in the PL, if he remains loyal to those guys in the starting eleven, it could be his undoing.

There's no way Baz would have got anywhere near those punches out yesterday. Would have got crowded out by the players around him. Either that or would have stayed rooted to his line.

What we can't allow is too much loyalty to certain players. Martin will probably in the main want to stay loyal to the core that got us up.

That's harsh. Given a decent partner at the back, I think he's more than capable. You don't get over 50 caps for Poland for being shit.

Was a great piece of defending. He had a great game today I thought.

I'd take Fraser for sure. Offers way more than Edoize, less said about Sully the better.

Am sure Sky etc would love to be able to do that.

Robbie Savage claiming as a neutral he would rather see Leeds back in the Premier over us. Twat.

So I've read. Bit of a strange one.

He'll probably end up at Bayern Munich now.

Absolutely. Am stunned he has stayed there to be honest.

I just love your positive outlook.

Four goals over two seasons in the Premier League does suggest that his level is where we are at now.

Surely if we go up, Stephens and A Armstrong aren't getting new contracts? I know Armstrong has predominantly played out wide this season, but is he good enough to play there in the Premier? Certainly can't play through the middle.

Ah, but Brentford had the benefit of the most gifted man in football working for them. Not sure Ipswich have anyone in the Rasmus mould that can take them to the next level.

There's a massive difference between the Championship and the Premier League. As the three promoted teams found out this season. I wasn't really that impressed with them after the two games we had against them.
