SuperSAINT

Right now, I just hope we can get to 18 months.

Between this & any variant of the Ted Bates / Milan Mandaric statue have a certain level of nostalgia that can't be beaten.

Yeah, I remember at the time we signed Ings that reports just after deadline day were that he wanted WAY too much money.

Indeed. I won't get too excited as my feeling was Elyounoussi would be good, but at least the theory of this appointment is right. Pellegrino's CV just didn't make any sense at all. (I had to dig up Les's quote about it for old times sake).

Find out each of the elusive pledges?

Interesting.

Indeed. Him doing well certainly is a win-win as he does his reputation no harm at all.

Nominated for La Liga player of the month. Fair play to him!

Ferry seems to be doing very well. Always seems to chip in with assists & goals.

Don't German coaches favour their own fitness coaches too?

Not entirely sure he'd even pass a medical right now,

I'm sure some will have to go make room. But who? Forster unlikely to go / Davis to Rangers mentioned / Long to Sheff Utd mentioned / Gallagher will no doubt have admirers / Gabbi is always wanted by Italian clubs / Targett a possibility but we only really have 2 left backs

Not always true. There are sometimes Carrillo sized gems available

Top, top post & the question is can Ralph get something out of the messy mishmash of players that we have?

Don't disagree. I like JWP.

I wonder if anything really will be announced in conjunction with a new coach? Or if any appointment might be a way off.

Agreed. Although I'd wager that Long is probably one of the best suited players to it. The main thing is how quickly he can get tactical ideas across & how much extra stamina he can get into them.

Yeah, will be interesting to see what happens. I remember he's had a few injury problems, but his run before Puel played him against Everton was his absolute peak. He was blindingly too good for the U23's & carried that form into the Checkatrade matches too. Grabbed himself 4 assists in 1 match IIRC.

Going to need to shift some deadwood before we do, I reckon. Going to be interesting to see who can adapt to the new system.
