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 ?

What is Selles up to ? Last I read he’d been sacked in Spain

Further up the thread in last couple of days. Probably not a reliable source though.

Another MF mentioned on the thread is the 6’4” Norwegian Dahl. Young, and built like a proverbial brick shithouse, which seems a good start for a DM.

If we’re spending serious Charles/Fernandes dosh on it then someone mentioned the Millwall strikers (Ivanovic ? and Coburn) on here previously, worth considering. Of the four you mention Tolaj apparently has something about him, Futkeu seems to match some of our tickboxes ( Bundesliga 2, affordable etc).Lankshear - did he really show anything at Oxford last year ?

Probably going against today’s tide of thought here but I thought Dan Neil would have been a good addition and business (especially if we sell Charles for upwards of £25m). From what I’d read and his promotion experience I can’t join the “well he wasn’t good enough …” , “we didn’t really want him…” pile on. That’s not to say we can’t do better, although it will cost more. The Mulligan of Hibs rumour might now resurface, although we don’t seem to have been active recruiting in Scotland for years. Or perhaps Spors/Tonda will know a Bundesliga 2 gem to come in.
