Neither are particularly great but Bednarek is clearly a better CB than Jack, and the stats support my general opinions whilst watching him Stephens only managed to play half of Bournemouths games, even when they were terrible defensively He’ll be ok in the Champ but nothing more. Similar to Lyanco JS gets the benefit of the doubt because he shows a bit of ‘pashun’ every now and then… even if he then leaves the player he just tried to wind up completely free at the back post…. FWIW though stats aren’t everything, Lyanco looks like a world beater

You think Stephens is a better CB then JB ?

Bednarek is literally the best defender in that back line though 😂

I wouldn’t really want Ings for anything other than a free High wages and his knees ? Its a risk imo

I think we could tempt broja, I doubt he’ll get a starting role in a PL this year, he could do with a career restart and a team battling at the top of the Championship would probably be a good start Ings.. I agree, I was speaking hypothetically

Not sure about Ings It seems like an absolute dream signing potentially, and he should fit the tactics perfectly But then you factor in his age, injury record and the fact he hasn’t looked the same player since the season BEFORE he left I think Id personally go and tickle Chelsea’s balls for Broja

I did some reading and I don’t think thats true actually… I heard on Talksport they needed to be in SA 2 years but I can’t find that anywhere So its TS talking shit by the looks of it

Its only tax free if it out of the country for 2 years

I don’t really understand the point you’re trying to make ? The reason I think Lavia was more important than JWP is because without the underrated work that Romeo did/does the rest of the team wouldn’t function JWP cannot effect games if it wasn’t for Romeo allowing the team to maintain shape and win the ball back

Doyle is a great CB, and I do think he could of done well here… there is no option though, as they couldn’t afford it Its a straight loan

If you’re referring to Doyle that would be the one they got on loan that they couldn’t agree on the buy clause ? Because they couldn’t afford it ? Or Winks that came in to replace Tielemans ? Or Coady who looks like is replacing Evens ? Yeah doesn’t add up does it……

Leicester need the money as they are genuinely staring down the loaded barrel of FFP and general cash flow issues They’re a mess

Lavia And if I was to chose someone to coach the Saintsweb football team it wouldn’t be you 😂

We looked a shadow of the team without him… you literally cannot have 11 players all attempting to ‘play killer passes’ etc, you need somebody to take the pressure off and give us the bedrock to progress from There is a reason good No.6’s are expensive, they are an absolute prerequisite to most.. if not all modern tactics Lavia was probably out biggest asset In ‘affecting’ results, in the sense that we were completely uncohesive without him

He’ll play a part I think, he’s a tidy player in possession he just doesn’t really do much

Yeah I was never sure about that tbh, its a personal thing but Stephens has always been a reactive only CB, he just doesn’t show any signs of a modern day proactive CB for me I also always thought he was a bit shaky under pressure and so far has shown that in both friendlies Bednarek looks ok, I actually think with the right partner he could have a very good season but Id rather that not be Stephens

Um… at a basic level, if you understand trading at support and resistance levels then Crypto, especially when its bullish is perfect because of its volatility.. you can trade it like any other asset or currency but it tends to offer you more opportunities The differences are trend reversals can be hard and the market always shits itself in either direction depending on Bitcoin price action BUT I made a fair amount during the last bull cycle leveraging support/resistance lines… just make sure your stop losses are super tight in the opposite direction.. i.e if you are longing support then set a stop loss just under support etc Ive not traded again with it yet as the market got really stale post Russia/Ukraine so I moved most of my trading money into the S&P 500 so I might mess about again if the Crypto market starts to wake up abit

I don’t think he plays that way really, it feels more like he wants width from his FBs and the two supporting midfielders are more of an 8 with the 6 dropping into a back 3 The two ‘wingers’ will probably operate as inside forwards ‘although’ he did have tino pushing inside a bit against Goztepe, I just don’t see that being his MO come Sheff Wed

I fucking hope we don’t start with Stephens in a possession based system

I think we’ll see 4-6 depending on outgoings, Id say we’re on 2 right now not counting Abu or the City academy guy (Mcnamara) The final figure will of course depend on outgoings Id also bet we’ll be the league’s biggest spenders unless Leeds new owners decide to throw the kitchen sink at it

Ahh tbf… there is plenty of money to be made from Crypto, although Ive changed my view on it as not something really that I would be comfortable investing anymore than 15% of my net worth into… but trading, if you are applying safety into your trades, is very profitable

I believe we are looking at strikers

In a similar way to how Lavia was unproven ?

Ahh I see you’re one of them… fair enough

I think Ill definitely say time > money but that is an easy statement to make if you are at a point where you are financially comfortable What I ‘would’ say is time isn’t as important when you’re a bit younger, of course its lovely being able to piss it up all day if you wanted, in your 20’s, but its vastly more important to be able to witness your young family grow, so trying to get yourself into a position to do that is priceless imo Of course thats no disrespect to those that actively chase the money hard, we’re all different Ive always found chasing more knowledge/responsibility is better in the long run to chasing immediate recompense…. Knowledge/responsibility generally has more longevity and doesn’t work you into the ground
