I’d happily accept a few of those on the bounce. But it might take some heroics from Pickford with the showing of the defence in front of him. Performances so far and I think we should have taken Maguire. * * although no better than Jack Stephens according to posters on here c2014 or 15

And the £25m rated ..

To a point, although we’ve made two early signings (good moves I think all would agree), and rumoured to be close to signing Neil (so back to the drawing board perhaps on that position) before he went to Rangers We’ve been linked with others, Mulligan and Noel Fuck-it (or whatever his name is). No idea how close to the mark or tenuous they are. I’d expect things to ramp up it next couple of weeks. There’s also the WC on, and although we might not be shopping in that market, it will have a knock on effect as to who other clubs might be willing to release.

Great player he might have been, although his managerial career doesn't support him being a 'deep thinker' or master tactician on the game to pass 'expert' opinion.

Yes good move. Building for L1

Yes but they wouldn’t have the same credibility as someone with a stellar management career at Birmingham and Plymouth

Yep. That was a moment of pure individual brilliance.

I was just about to agree with you !

This is a bloke who scores for fun with Bayern. How does he turn to shit for England?

Should have spent his summer working in a foodbank

On par with N’Guessan or whatever his name was

Wondered this as well. Kanes fall looked a bit theatrical when he went down, and have to wonder if he could have stayed on his feet.

I’d say Forest have more potential than Palace so don’t see it as a sideways move (I’ll avoid the ‘bigger’ club debate so not to awaken MLG). But the Forst owner is probably more volatile to work for so good luck with that! Like you I thought he’d go somewhere else but a lot of the ‘bigger’ and more prestigious jobs he was linked to ( Chelsea, Man Utd, AC Milan) have gone elsewhere.

Thanks. Interesting as 12 goals for a struggling Oxford last season isn’t a bad return. My only first hand memory of him is slicing a good chance wide at St Mary’s (but then look at Kane the other night). Trouble with Lankshear is that he’ll probably be a last minute loan after De Zerbi has sorted his squad. Hornby has signed for Wolfsburg this summer. He’s good for ‘derailing’ transfer threads though.

Ralph’s probably retired isn’t he ?
