True, but most of the 22 players in the squad are professional footballers. Very poor effort to get smashed for 5 at a conference south outfit.

Small point. The first team squad has 29 players. I wander who he's disregarded to only consider it 27 players? On the general point though, we need a massive clear out, and sharpish.

He spent a lot of time on the bench when he was on loan at Morecambe last season. I'm not sure he's ready/good enough to step up.

Piers blunt as hell, but his point is that it's curious that someone who doesn't identify as a woman wants to play in the women's world cup is a valid one. He also throws in "and she wants to be a they even though there's only one of them". An individual being identified in the plural is an oddity.

Could it be as crazy as Ryan Manning LCB, Djenepo LB, and Charles in midfield? Or have I become too accustomed to batshit crazy decisions from our managers?!

+ The need to create space to actually play new signings (Manning, Charles). We can't play them plus Tino, KWP, JWP, Lavia. Something has to give.

I think the issue with JWP will be the possibility that only west ham are in the race. If they're bidding against themselves, the bid won't be high and probably below what we want. If, for example, Lavia has his heart set on Liverpool and they only bid £35m which is below what we want, what do the club do? Keep hold of JWP, Lavia and out other midfielders, or take the best bid on the table for at the least one of them?

Ok. What if a good offer also doesn't materialise for Lavia? We then have Lavia, JWP, Charles, the others, a bloated squad, massive wage bill, and no big cash coming in to balance the books. As fans we'd like to keep the big boys. In reality, that can't and won't happen. Some players will undoubtedly end up being sold for the best price we can get.

I've questioned since the season end who'd want him and play him regularly. If it's not west ham, I really can't see where he'd go. Fulham perhaps, but would he really offer more than Harrison Reed apart from the free kicks? Where else?

That 3rd kit is decent in my opinion. I like all of them in fact, but think the away one would have looked better if the trim was in a proper blue or green, not the pastel half way house.

Sad news is this. Great player, and a lovely bloke by all accounts. I've always followed Wednesday's fortunes as they are my dada team and he gave their fans a couple of great seasons before they let him go. He also pissed off Simon Jordan which makes him a great man in my view. RIP.

You either have gravitas or you don't. She does.

I'm not sure that one was a leak...feels like the work of a deluded / entitled / stupid / typical scouser.

Exactly, bur Whitey will pop up in a moment to tell you how ridiculous your excellent point sounded to him.

So is your point that Baz was good enough, or that we should have signed an upgrade in January? You surely can't be arguing both?!

It's fair to say that you watched a different game to 99% of the fans Whitey. Other people saw a keeper out of his depth who cost us goals and points.

Serious question - did you watch us last season? If so, you'd have seen lots of goals that were his fault. That led to points lost. It's not complicated.

You're fighting a losing battle trying to make Whitey see reason on this issue mate. It's staggering that anyone can try to argue that Baz cost us heavily last season, has made errors pre season, and isn't the keeper we need this season.

It really doesn't if you actually think about it and understand it Whitey. There's a thing called confidence, and shit keepers like Baz drain it from their team mates.

Absolutely. He's plainly a talented lad and properly managed he could go on to have a great career. It was a sink or scenario and the poor lad sank. We must upgrade this season for our sake and his.

Yep, and Chelsea's 3rd keeper, Bettinelli would have improved us considerably.
