Winks plays as a deep lying midfielder as does Romeu. Go and watch the tactical analysis video of Winks.

Yes, they do play in the same role.

I think Winks is more suited to the Romeo role than the JWP one. He seems to have a better range of passing than Romeo does. I don't mind Winks but not sure whether he would be worth the money and how it would affect the development of Lavia. I wouldn't be complaining if we signed him but in the context of other more pressing areas of the pitch it would seem a strange one.

Got anything about the reduction in waiting times? They came down quite dramatically. The internal market was always a crap idea though - I'll give you that.

What part of it did he make private? Are you talking about the PFI schemes?

No one moaned about the NHS under Blair and it's not that long ago. He chucked money at it, and it worked.

Yeah, definitely feels like the club are very keen on Colwill. It's not a position we have to strengthen in but get the impression that they feel he's too good to pass up (bit like the Livramento deal). Lots of things point to Delap as well and with Shields in place it probably puts us in as good a position as anyone. There were also a few articles at the tail end of the season suggesting that the club recognised that we didn't have enough variation in the number 10 positions so they'll have identified that. I think Aribo addresses it to an extent but I think he's also been brought in as competition/cover for S. Armstrong so another 10 on the left sounds likely.

I reckon it'll be Stuart Armstrong with Aribo taking 17 which was his number with Rangers and Charlton.

How would you make sure those high potential young players don’t become mediocre crap jamming up the squad and preventing us signing the next batch of high potential young players?

Think the big thing with Delap is whether City are happy to sell rather than loan. Can certainly see why they would prefer a loan and if it’s something we’re not interested in then fair enough. Otherwise I’d be really surprised to lose out to Burnley.

Seems likely if she gets to the final round. For the life of me I can't think why she's so popular with them though - I don't think I can recall ever hearing her speak and I watch a fair bit of news. Is it because she was on celebrity reality show?

I dunno, Truss is pretty clear on where she stands in relation to cheese but I don’t even know if Starmer has a position on any dairy products, let alone cheese. I think Starmer will have a tough time if the Tories attack along those lines.

If Diallo goes then I would guess we either stick and leave a spot for maybe a youth player (don’t think Smallbone is ready for central midfield but maybe someone else?) or we bring in another young academy type option. Can’t see us going for Winks, I don’t think he’s that bad but doesn’t offer enough for the price or wages. To be honest I hope Diallo stays.

I've dredged up: Lee Sinnott, Peter Beagrie and Andy Reid. More recently didn't we agree a fee for James Maddison but he chose Leicester instead?

It's simply a tactic to get Tory MPs to publically back Boris and look a bit stupid. I'm not sure it's worth bothering with especially as the the leadership contenders will be ripping themselves to shreds. Labour are better off standing back and letting them look increasingly divided. They could wheel out "The charge of the lightweight brigade" quote again though - that's got the power to stick.

Gary Lineker was close apparently. Alan Ball was manager and Lawrie had returned as a director - they wanted to get him back from Japan but GL retired instead.

Try using it when phoning up a breakdown service and see how much meaning it has then.

I can’t really call this one either. I wonder if certain candidates will start encouraging tactical voting when it gets to the later stages. You know that tactical voting that all Tories hate.

Generally prefer bubble butt but each to their own.

Well that’s just stupid. Don’t do it again because it’s annoying me.

What exactly is bang average? I mean, average is, well, average, but bang average seems to suggest an even better version of average which I’d naively thought impossible.

That’s typical of most forums. Tell you what though, why not come out with an opinion and see what reaction you get? I mean so far you’ve moaned about this thread being an echo chamber but you have the ability to change that.

To be honest if you look at that video then actually he doesn’t but I’ve since seen better ones and his goal record is pretty good. Probably moot point anyway if he doesn’t fancy joining us

Yeah, might have just stumbled across a bad one. Just goes to show YouTube scouting ain’t always great. Cheers

https://youtube.com/watch?v=zeL_kVaSMZs&feature=share I think this is supposed to show how good Moussa Dembele is but, honestly, he doesn’t look that good to me. Looking at his record he did ok in the championship, pretty good in Scotland, shit in Spain, and pretty good in France. Even at that price I’d give it a miss.
