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

If you want a limited ball winner then Hojbjerg is fine, his stats from a purely destructive POV are fantastic.. its any technical ability he struggles with If I was Klopp Id look at Sangare (yes him) or Zubamendi

He played in a double pivot for both Benfica and River Plate too.. even in an 8 he doesn’t tend to burst a gut to get forward, although he is ok at it, he played a bit in the 8 towards the end at Benfica but he is more naturally a 6/8 hybrid Either way.. he won’t play in the 10… I imagine it’ll be Caicedo/Enzo double pivot

You called it all along 😂

Oh shit I forgot These are my questions for the CoT pre fans forum boardroom dinner You peasants ask what you want

Football doesn’t work like that unfortunately, but I agree, we should be leading the way… there or there abouts this year

Enzo will start regardless and they’ll be mad to play him in the 10

Poor tyler, imagine thinking you’re going to Chelsea and ending up at Boscome

I think we’ll see Downes/Smallbone/Alcaraz and in the tough matches against more able midfields we’ll see Charles/Downes and one of Smallbone/Alcaraz Charles will, imo, cover DM and CB meaning we may only see 1 CB coming into the club

When is the next groundbreaking light show ?

Im not sure whether there is any that necessarily need asking, I feel we’re in a relatively good spot.. at a push; 1. Are the clubs finances safe despite relegation this year, and if so, at what point does it become a worry ? 2. Is the club concerned about lack of depth at CB and our consistency at being unable to defend crosses/set pieces 3. What systems are in place to ensure we don’t make the same mistakes in the transfer market, like in January.. i.e.. Bree/Onuachu were bought for a failing manager who was sacked shortly after 4. Can we get decent beer and serve it quicker

Tbf I thought his question was a fair one, not sure why he gets so much stick really He’s a young guy that seems to go to most games
