Saint Garrett

He's absolutely shite. Nowhere near good enough to get in Forest's team, and they're trying to get rid of him already...apparently he's a complete tosser too.

TBF - I think they've had 2 bids rejected already, think they moved first on that one.

Sad but not a surprise with the set back. There seems little point rushing him back. It will take him a while once hes back fit enough to train to get anywhere near match fitness. Most logical right now, is leave him and give him full pre season.

Yup - DCC banned Saturday, back for Tuesday

Probably end up with Elijah Anuoluwapo Oluwaferanmi Oluwatomi Oluwalana Ayomikulehin Adebayo at this rate. And no that isn't 7 players.

Interesting…I thought Diallo had one of his best games for us, but his passing was still appalling,

Seems a bit strange to not just buy a starting left back and play KWP in his best position, and buy a RB in the summer when KWP inevitably leaves.

JANUARY TRANSFER SPENDING SO FAR PREMIER LEAGUE: €466m La Liga: €24m Serie A: €9m Ligue 1: €21m Bundesliga: €48m Football is so fucked.

She was rough as.

Could be worse for them, they could actually have to join us 😂

Well supposedly. One was agreed at £16m, then selling club wacked the price up after they realised how desperate we are for a striker. Guessing that might have been Jackson, but might have been someone else. Will share if I hear anything else.

Apparently…. Saints have bid up to 25 million for 2 players. We have had 6 bids accepted now for targets then deals just haven’t materialised. It doesn’t help that Saints fans use twitter to moan about signing a striker as the club feel that it makes the prices go up.

Finally got to the striker bit then

Well do you think KWP’s best position is LB, Lyanco a RB or RCB in a back 4? Do you think any of our centre backs apart from Lyanco are happy playing LB or RB in a back 3? Do you think Perraud and KWP’s best positions are RWB/LWB?

Not that I was aware of.

If we play 5 at the back. At least 3 defenders.

If we play 5 at the back for the rest of the season, we’re definitely relegated. Need to get back to playing players in their best positions again. And we need 3 in midfield.

Sounds like Bree is happening, anyone know anything about him? One for the championship next season I’m guessing.

Bednarek is cup tied, and DCC is confirmed as suspended for this game according to this: https://www.hampshirelive.news/sport/football/football-news/southampton-suspended-newcastle-red-card-8070095 So Sali & Lyanco at the back for this one for me, with Payne and Perraud either side.

Yup completely forgot about him, and agree with Orsic, he needs minutes too. Think DCC is banned for Tuesday, because it was 2 yellows, but I might be wrong. Would happily take him as banned for this Saturday though and available on Tuesday ! No idea where to check.

A rotated one, but one that should still be able to get the job done. Assuming DCC is banned for Tuesday, (which I think is accurate), he might as well play on Sat. Rest Lavia and Alcaraz for Tuesday. Possibly rest JWP too. Hopefully get into the lead by half time and then give Ballard / Morgan / Dibling some pitch time towards the end. Something like: Caballero Payne DCC Salisu Perraud AMN Diallo AArmstrong Elyounoussi Edozie Mara

I dont disagree with you on some of those, and there is no doubt that a bunch of them have been a nightmare. But no clubs get all transfers right either. Difference is, we've sold anyone decent and replaced them with players who aren't as good, haven't had the potential to be good enough, or have never progressed into what they should have done.

Obviously a bunch on here that are way above our station, but this is the top goals + assists in the top 10 leagues this season so far under the age of 23...must be someone in there that CDAJFU https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/scorer/topscorer/statistik/2022/plus/0/galerie/0?saison_id=2022&art=top10&land_id=0&altersklasse=u23&ausrichtung=Sturm&spielerposition_id=&filter=0&yt0=Show
