  1. Thanks ill have a listen. That doesn't surprise me though. Imo labour have been shit in government but shit in different ways that I wasn't expecting when they started.
  2. So the government have no conviction whatsoever, are slaves to their backbenchers and can't make any savings which means terrible news for autumn and my mortgage renewal. Useless.
  3. A list takes a long time but I'd have some steely Dan in mine and probably Sam Cooke.
  4. Not sure that's true if we end up where Luton were after 20 games!
  5. If we sell him it will probably be because he wants to leave or we don't think he fits our new style of play. Given that Still will likely play with proper wingers, I'm not sure where he fits in personally even though I'd probably keep him but he isn't a guaranteed starter.
  6. I was mostly going on the koln fan forum and an article I read that he was a bit lightweight and lost a surprising amount of aerial battles for his height. That's probably a bit more accurate than chatgpt even though it's an interesting thing to read.
  7. I'd probably keep him but I can absolutely see the reasoning if we decide not to.
  8. I'm not sure if he will have the correct level of motivation for us given he's failed for us so many times in the prem now and we are playing a new system. It may be time to get some money for him and look to refresh our attacking lineup. If we do keep Armstrong and Archer though then maybe alongside Stewart and Downs that will be sufficient.
  9. That could well be true but I'm hoping Spors knows what he is doing. We will soon find out.
  10. That Chatgpt output is weird. Losing more aerial duels than he wins at his height isn't decent and it seems it has speculated what Downs may do rather than what he has actually done so I'd question it. The main thing is that he is young and still growing so may develop strength and increase his aerial presence. My hope is that he can do that this year though as we really don't have time for him to ease into things if we want to be successful this season.
  11. I dunno. Our owners could be miles worse. Solak actually seems like a good bloke.
  12. Would be a decent signing but if there's one position we don't need signings for it's centre back unless we sell THB, Bednarek and maybe wood.
  13. This. Not sure how anyone could argue tbh.
  14. Is he a superior aerial presence? Most analysis I have read suggests he is tall but a bit lightweight at present and loses more of his aerial duels than he should.
  15. I didn't say experience, I said a track record of performance. Ramsdale did and he was decent. The likes of THB and Downes both had recent records in the championship of performing well and were two of our best players last time out. I'd like to see us supplement those players - assuming we don't sell them - with players of similar recent championship performance in attacking areas in order to refresh some of the lineup we currently have (and my feeling is that Archer will move on alongside maybe bbd and Armstrong). You are free to disagree but it doesn't make my opinion wrong.
  16. Exactly this. This signing could be a really good one but it really depends who else we get in attack. The suspicion would be that this is our main striker signing and if that is the case then most analysis seems to suggest he is a promising youngster with potential. That being the case, I'm not sure about it.
  17. It doesn't have to be but my preference would be for an attacking signing with a track record of performance in the championship. We didn't buy anyone last season with much success in the prem in our system.
  18. I'm not confident we won't sell at least Armstrong but possibly Archer as well. If we do then that removed those options so fingers crossed we will get experience in at that point.
  19. Unlike some I like to look at a wide range of sources in order to develop more balanced opinions.
  20. You are correct that we need to take a punt on potential sometimes and that's what we sort of did with Edozie last time. The problem for me is that our main striker signing needs to be a bit more of a solid one than good potential. I'd personally spend big on the striker area and get the best we can afford and keep the potential signings for other areas of the squad that are maybe less key.
  21. Agree with that. Currently trying to be all things to all people means they are unpopular with everyone. At least if they went left it would be clear and they would have sort of an appeal with some people at least.
  22. Sort of highlights why the chant was a bloody stupid thing to do.
  23. What about those young kids who serve as part of their public service? Some of whom repelled Hamas on October 7th and saved many lives. Should they die too?
  24. Interesting tweet from Andrew Neil. Presumably these would be popular policies on here at least. I wonder if they would increase Labour's popularity.
