Saint Garrett

Long is out for a while, back in January sometime I think,

Seemed like it at the time, though from memory the daily echo didn’t mention it as a perm transfer. Would expect there to be clauses if he gets injured, possibly more of a first refusal than tied in to 100% buying him.

Romeu and Bednarek in from the cold. 3 man midfield with an anchor, shame about Austin starting Noticeable absentees Cedric and Gabbi

No ITK today then...

All of our CB's look championship standard at the moment...and although I don't think any of them are great - you have to start asking the question whether it's more to do with tactics / setup. They are given basically zero protection from our midfield, there were so many times last night that there was a ridiculous amount of space in our midfield. The only way of us sorting that out, would be to stick another midfielder in there to shore things up, Romeu probably the best option to sit.

Makes you wonder why we went for Puel, and then for Pellegrino when this guy seems to be on a different level to both of those.

So what happened with this then, was nailed on 24 hours ago...!

Last trip to Wembley for quite a while though...

Well its very rare that K Billy and Guan are wrong...

Now 6/1 and Hasenhuttl in to 8/11...

Mentioned Hasenhuttl on the Hughes replacement thread, would be an interesting one.

Think he'll be a good appointment.

Slattery was always the big name but not heard much about him recently

So that works out about £51k a week, which is probably about right as we have a bloated squad of average players earning premier league salaries, and a few on big wages, e.g. Austin, Gabbiadini, Lemina....

Yup, and we're really not very good at 442.

Morgan, Wanyama, Clyne, Lallana all probably available now for the right price...all four of those would be an immediate upgrade on what we have now.

7 goals and Marcus Barnes didnt score, whats going on?

All very random, especially given he's the only one playing for them of the first team squad. Can't help but feel hes a bit wasted in the 23s atm.

Forgot we were playing... Would be tempted to experiment -----------------------Gunn----------------------- Cedric-Stephens-Vestergaard-Bednarek-Targett -------------JWP----Romeu----Davis---------- --------------Obafemi----Redmond-------------

We dont have one, probably JWP or Stephens, Stephens in a 4 I would expect. There basically isn't anyone, so it doesnt matter how bad Cedric plays, he'll probably play if fit.

Getting worse.

He is appalling, probably partly to do with the fact he has no competition. Aimless passes, cant defend, not interested...some of his performances this season have been embarrassing.
