Fuck me Russ, its not more minutes he needs, its less....like 0 mins !!!

And that, in a nutshell is it, he ignored him totally all bloody season until he felt he had to pick him then lo and behold here’s a shiny new 2 year contract !

If they really can’t see this guy is no first choice for the Premier League then we really are screwed.

You won’t be seeing another wide forward, Bereton-Diaz one side, Armstrong the other (if we sign a central striker). The other 4 yes but I’ve got a terrible feeling McCarthy is their number 1 choice and any Lumley/Lis replacement will be a reserve keeper.

Yeah, I just wonder how much time the club will spend on him before moving on to other targets? I've never seen him play so I dont know how good he is but players from Scotland are very much a hit or miss, we've had some great ones but weve had some rubbish as well......Neil McCann anyone ?

Well isn’t the left where Bereton-Diaz is likely to play given it’s his preferred position?

Or maybe not then 🤣

Probably tomorrow or Thursday after they’ve farted about with photos and interviews etc

If Edwards is as good as is being suggested he will possibly be the third centre back alongside Janny B and THB so Jack will be on the bench and come on to tighten things up near the end (said whilst firmly biting my lip 😂)

I hope you are right with 3,4,5 and 6 but 11 is way off the mark.

So I'm guessing he'll play through the middle.........then when Stewart is fit, ahem, he can play out wide and cut in like Armstrong does on the other side ?

Tbf anyone that can score 6 goals in 14 games for an horrendous Sheffield United can’t be….shall we say….Mara level !!

Yes he did, very well.

Yeah, given Fraser wasnt a regular starter in the Championship for us I'm not sure how much or how effective he would be in the Premier League. I wouldnt be upset if we did get him but its not a deal breaker if we dont, unlike Downes would have been.

No, although the Ugly Inside did a rather convoluted article suggesting if he left Arsenal on a loan deal we were the only choice 🙄

The chances of Arsenal loaning him out to a team chasing Champions League places would seem remote tbh

Thank goodness MLT hasn't sunk this low!!

🤣🤣🤣 he probably won’t 🤣🤣🤣

Is that Count Arthur Strong out of make-up ? 🤪

I see Howe is playing his usual petulant twat role with Frasier and is making him train with the U21's while not granting him his move.

Yeah, he was at his best when he played second striker to Ings.

Pretty spot on assessment to be fair.

No, it’s ok thanks 🤣

Umm, I kind of figured from Tuesday nights interview with Russell Martin & Flynn Downes when they both stated, a couple of times “but Che’s gone now…” 🤷🏻‍♂️

You would think after so long out every minute he could get under his belt in pre-season would be essential. I know it was only the first game but to not have him on the pitch for even 10 minutes last night was concerning.
