How many players per position do you want them to have?

We have Archer, Brereton Diaz, Armstrong & Stewart. That is enough strikers or you start bloating the squad and struggle to keep them happy even though some will be dismissive of Stewart due to injuries.

Yes, he has. He was a regular for Peterborough in the Championship in 2021/22.

Ronnie Edwards will go further in his career than Greaves and £15m wasn't required to get him.

Why would they do that when it is fundamental to their business model? Even if they did do that, another broadcaster would take the contract, the public isn't going to lose interest. The Premier League would likely make a lot more money than they currently do if they made a PremFLix subscription service and cut out the middle man. I think this will eventually happen as the revenue would be huge, it just may take a while before they do it and would need to wait for deals to run out.

Mark Bitcon has been confirmed as having a new job title, he is now listed by the club as 'Director of Football operations'.

Not always the case!

Our B team looking a lot better vs Lazio than they did vs Oxford!

Onuachu is not in any way suited to Martin's style of play. Plan B for Martin is not a change in philosophy from possession to playing to a target man, it is tweaks to the formation or fresh legs with players who also fit the style.

He is 34 and very much on the decline and not the player he once was.

They don't play in the same position/role, so they aren't alternatives for each other.

Is this the COT source?

Some interesting transfer snippets in this interview...

He is playing as one of three centre backs when we don't have the ball and then steps into midfield when we do.

We've been using 433 throughout pre-season

He is a 50 year old scout

That is the role of an inverted fullback! So he is doing what he should be doing.
