Id say if Everton get anywhere near 15m then he’s off, and it wouldn’t surprise me if he didn’t play this weekend and is off early next week Which is a shame really because I think he’s our most effective forward in this set up
-
Puts pressure on and disrupts the backline of teams attempting to play a low block Saying ‘all Haaland does’ is incredibly simplistic
-
I think he’ll be fine there in the games that we have the midfield ascendancy But also two 8’s is mire achievable if we had a decent 6 behind them, be that Charles or Downes The issue last weekend is that Smallbone just isn’t destructive enough defensively
-
Personally I think 7.20 is a bit early to be on the sauce but its 2023.. I won’t judge
-
As some of us said previously… you really aren’t going to have clubs queuing up to snatch Djenepo, Lyanco etc off our hands.. Id imagine we’ll see a few loans in the next week That said I do expect a minimum of 2/3 incomings before window ends
-
Listen… I was traumatised, now so are you 😂 cook your chicken
-
Yeah it doesn’t mess about, I got it off undercooked chicken… was literally just on the bog for most of the day for 5 days… then thought I was ok… couple of hours later I had a fever and was shitting blood so ended up in A&E Not much fun
-
Are you in Australia?
-
In fairness, I got hospitalised the last time I had food poisoning so… no probably not 😂
-
I don’t like this
-
Well.. Genk want Onuachu apparently But Paintsil isn’t convinced to come here
-
Id imagine if we can push City for a permanent deal, and they’re happy with that, then we can beat Leicester who will probably prioritise loans
-
He was picked by the old scouting department and Rasmus
-
He was poor last year, was replaced by McCarthy who was even worse This is a new season, with new tactics at a new level He’s openly backed by footballing minds much brighter than us, time to get behind them
-
He absolutely is not
-
I would imagine its got something to do with the fact he is probably the best distributor, as far as a GK is concerned, in the league. In a similar vein to how City are happy with Ederson who ranks around mid table from a shot save percentage, we are happy to retain Baz in goal.. mainly because his ability on the ball is far more important to us tactically, then having a goalkeeper that is better at shot stopping, then he is with the ball at his feet Statistics count, data counts, and realistically we should be able to reduce the shots he faces, whilst maximising our build up play. I think Bazunu is a good, young goalkeeper, my concern is I do think his confidence is low, so I absolutely applaud Russell and Jasons unequivocal support of him… do I think that he needs competition ? 100%… McCarthy doesn’t really work in any sense, because frankly he isn’t good enough at football basics to enable the detriment to our tactical approach Overall the hysterics over Bazunu on this forum is laughable, because again RM was 100% correct.. tactics and outfield players cost us 4 goals on Saturday.. not Bazunu
-
Really really like Russell and Wilcox, seem humble, intelligent and honest Big fan of a backing away from the corporate bullshit we got previously, even Phil was impressive Obviously they need to back things up but a great start imo

Not sure Ive ever heard you say anything positive
-
Ill admit I knkw fuck all about Zeqiri, and can’t find much either
-
It’s basically a transfer, I can’t find the article but its an obligation in most instances, there is a small chance he’ll go back to Brentford but they’ve said they don’t expect him back and have already signed Flekken
-
Just think of it as a transfer mate
-
Arsenal do, the loan means the fee isn’t counted til next year basically
-
Its a transfer in all intents and purposes, loan with option to buy which kicks their FFP issues down the road til next year effectively
