Saint Matty 76

Should be good news regarding KWP.

Alonso going to head off to Barca I think. He's also got a decent amount of games at Brighton at LCB. Doesn't look the prettiest outlay/buy-back for Brighton that, would be a bit miffed.

Colwill to Brighton all but confirmed, somebody check on @SuperSAINT.

My only hope here is KWP has already done the fringes of the team at a big club thing and facilitated a move away in search of what he has here. Would've been more worried if it were United/Arsenal where he'd be an immediate starter.

Fucking hell, not ideal if Matt & Jeremy are saying we want £35m.

Probably if Tino was fit. I legitimately believe that KWP is our biggest attacking threat.

Can't see it. They're very much looking for a RJ back-up unless they plan on moving him to RCB which would be ridiculous. I have absolutely no clue what kind of fee we'd demand though, 3 years left and our best player alongside the other WP.

30 minutes in and Dennis could be necessary.

Think I tried making a case for Damsgaard last year, looks like he's got 2 in his last 49 games since the Euros however so probably not kicked on as expected. Dennis - Joao Pedro - Sarr front line for Watford tonight in their first Champ game. I'm not a huge Sarr fan but I think you could make a case that's stronger than ours!

I think Dan Sheldon said that, yeah. He'd have been absolutely perfect at LWB in this new system for us. Although I imagine he'd probably be leaving all the same if he'd have joined then too.

Pretty much. I wonder if we expecting more interest in Bednarek hence the Colwill links. Probably a similar situation where we'd like a new winger but can't really sanction it until we lose Walcott/Redmond. Cucurella is also really good, he's tailormade for a City system due to how good he is in possession. I believe he has 4 years left too which explains the fee. Also filled in at LCB for Brighton a good amount last year which is why it makes sense for Chelsea along with Chilwell cover.

18 goals & 7 assists is pretty impressive numbers from Zirkzee last year, but I believe Hoedt may have made team of the season in the same league so...

To be fair I actually think that's bad news. If there was anything going on I feel he'd be less likely to post that.

Great performance, one game to go but if I had to guess our Spurs line-up, I'd go with the following - Bazunu ABK - Bednarek - Salisu KWP - Romeu - JWP - Djenepo Stu Aribo - Che/AA Definitely a few contentious calls with Lavia/Romeu and the strikers. Maybe we'll get a better idea on Saturday.

JWP lovely goal.

Yep. Lots of piss taking throughout this week but he's been really good in this role today, one of our more comfortable players taking the ball alongside KWP. Interested to know if this is our preferred formation, was of the assumption that it was just because we didn't have a LB but Djenepo has probably earned a start vs Spurs.

A really good second half so far, just think we're one pretty good attacker away from having a good year. Whether that's a winger or a striker.

Great goal! Aribo assist for Stu Armstrong.

JWP, KWP and Aribo coming on. Ralph wants a pre-season win! Edit: never mind both strikers came off

Good stuff AA! If only that penalty went in for him too.

We've looked okay to be fair, just a lack of quality with final pass/shot. Actually attacking consistently though for the first time this preseason.

Wahey sorted finally!

Audio is like 10 seconds ahead of the video ffs

It's clearly the second team, probably looking to put the main one out on the final friendly on Saturday in front of more fans.

Irrespective of the fact that the team would probably struggle in the Championship, my god is that random Perraud appearance great news. Probably (hopefully) only him, Romeu(?) and Che starting on opening day.
