Expect @steve would know more about him

Announce Messi

always sneezing apparently

I really hope we can get someone in midfield who can move the ball forward quickly for the attackers/wide men to directly attack the goal (eriksen/playmaker type). I feel we are too stodgy and predictable for a while, we mess around in midfield and then pass out to wingers to try and make something happen as the other teams reset in defence. I think with JWP in midfield " he's the playmaker" we sort of have our own Ronaldo issue. He scores mainly deadball goals, provides assists but in open play he is not the man to do the quick pass forward, creative through ball etc (in my opinion, neither is Romeu), therefore is the JWP, Romeu, Diallo too conservative for our side in an attacking sense. I don't know the answers but they've been our mainstays in midfield for a while now and Danny Ings aside all our forwards have struggled.

You will the quoting tweets award for 2022 bro. thanks tho some new ones i'd missed.

He doesn't want to play for brugge as well cos he wants to player in a better league.

Of course but fortunately football fans dont contribute to the coaching or the team delivering results and are unqualified to give an opinion on the coaching pool available in the professional game.

Just get the best qualified, respected coaches possible, we don't need names just expertise

man you've lived with our poor performance too long, you've got a form of stockholm syndrome.

First Gazzanigga now Forster, I will laugh a lot if lloris is injured after the transfer window shuts

also this keeper terminated his contract with Altay for non payment so should be a free Galatasaray wanted him jan apparently

This bloke seems a city fan but he has also posted this - made me laugh that there are no talks with any clubs

To be honest he was lumbered with dave "ipad" watson and kelvin "fallen into a job" davis, I would defo move them on if possible.

yeah he didnt qualify enough because apparently he was too cheap + international experience etc hence it was easier for him to move to PSV

I never saw Diallo as a Romeu replacement he's not that sort of player. I see him more of a JWP replacement, he's quicker and more front footed and would work well with romeu or another behind him, a bit like how Keita played with Kampl at red bull.

I cannot see him being interested in joining the dildo brothers and their europa conference comp

Why does the journalist who writes a story about someone else have a massive picture of himself at the top and then has the audacity to say ralph has a big ego

I heartily endorse this message

Interesting but for the season he was at bologna tho he was rated their 2nd best player over 13 games. I say judge the player over sometime, i think lyanco is probably our best passing CB, him and stephens seem to give the most shit and its his 1st season in the EPL so I have hopes he will become a better player because currently he isnt our worst CB in his first season.

Many things you can slam Ralph for but giving our entire club a strategic identity with the playbook is not one i can endorse. The under 18s were the southern champions and lost out to man city for the title. The B team after starting horribly finished 7th in their league. Its well known with changes like ours its not the 1st team or B team that we see the benefit of this playbook but its the under 12/14/16/18s who buy into the concept. Of course there is a lead time I would guess 3-5yrs but when those under 18s start pushing into the B team/1st Team we will start harvesting that fruit.

Ok unless I've missed it the only rumours we are seeing are JWP leaving and a goalkeeper coming in. So let me be the first to pluck some out of the air and say Noni Madueke or Cody Gakpo at PSV - both young attacking midfielders who are very technical, fast and score and assist. Gakpo especially is looking mustard and PSV like ourselves are up for selling (they are also looking at selling Sangarre who we couldnt sign cos of him being too cheap so we went to Diallo)

hahahahahahahaaha that made me laugh cos given we have 85 million ex goalkeepers in our club but no one realises ours are shit, couldnt kick a can down the road and have the vocal skills of a mute and leadership skills of an italian general

I want to say minimum 1 striker, 2 attacking midfielders who have been known to assist and score, 1 CM, 1 or 2 CBs, 1 Goalie

Should do it to make them the biggest team in Sofia and piss off Alan CSKA Sofia Pardew
