Crab Lungs

Ah just read the link ... Not a bad guess

Bound to rock up at Leicester

This, sadly.

Totally underwhelmed in what could have been our most exciting season in years. That said, the window hasn't shut yet. I'll be underwhelmed for definite if he window shuts and we haven't strengthened the areas we so desperately need to by then, though. Tick tock goes the transfer window clock

Oh and is the management recruiting process somewhat similar? I understand that you can't necessarily put through a manager in a data system...

Cheers guys, appreciated, good read that. I wonder who vets their personalities though?

Agree. He's built like a defensive midfielder but I've always thought he's better alongside a shield player, sitting deep alongside them. Plus he's a bit clumsy and rash and if he was DM or given those responsibilities, he'd see a few cards over the course of the season... Like Wanyama, but without the defensive robustness he offers. If only we'd go balls out for Schneiderlin.

I've probably read it before but how does it actually work? How does it monitor and assess players? How much input does a manager have or does the manager choose from options that are presented by the black box? Just curious.

I guarantee one of them made that Portsmyth up to make them feel better and portray that they're sill and always be a huge club. Which they're not, and never will be. Ha. F()cking ha.

Am I the only one worried that we are seriously light in defensive midfield?

I do. I called it wrong last time, I was way too hasty. Bottom line is not the rise but the length of contract. Jose wants longer and were only offering a raise not an extension. I wouldn't worry too much about the comments to O Jogo at all, after all... What player wouldn't say the same to the hypothetical question about playing for RM or Barca? You could apply the same logic to Man Utd I suppose though, in a way.

I could waffle, plagiarise off other people and make stuff up instead of saying exactly what I hear at the time, if you'd like? #wafflewafflewaffle

Yes yes I know I jumped the gun a little!

I thought it was Henry Winkler?

I'll save you the time in waiting for the exclusive Waffle waffle waffle waffle possibly potentially maybe as I understand it waffle waffle waffle

Id say we need a defensive mid more than any other position. We're going to be overrun quite frequently if we keep Romeu and JWP partnered up. Oh well, few more days to go in the window...

So did I, I was a bit hasty.

Fonte doesn't want to go and if he gets what he wants. (One yr extension and rise) he'll stay a Saint. He's not got his head in he clouds

Tbf, I lold.

Really not good enough as the main defensive midfielder. Playing him and JWP together is suicide... Please don't do that again

Hate to be controversial but didn't lawrie make a pretty penny in our admin and relegation year? I'm assuming that's what Manji is referring too.

Figure of speech, not a 50/50 guess. Having said that, I didn't realise he immeasurable kudos you could get from pretending to be ITK on an Internet forum. I might try it sometime.

Nasri would be great be doesn't fit our profile, sadly. He'll also have little resale value and his wages would count us out of the running too. Whether he'd join us is another matter. Has loan move to Italy written all over him IMO

As I said, it's an affirmative 'yes' from me. I guess we'll find out soon enough

No indecision. I stand by what I said, which is clear. No muddles or riddles.
