Baird of the land

Practically going from 4 to 5 doesn’t mean much. However, Think it’s a good news story, changes the media narrative slightly, which is positive.

Don’t think i’d Start Theo. That said if we decide not to play 2 up front I don’t really see the value in shoehorning Adam Armstrong into a wing position, which I don’t think he’s particularly suited.

Don’t get clubs perpetual fascination with ramsdale.

Don’t really see how we could let him go at this point. Also don’t really feel 50m is some sky high unturndownable sum for England international with long contract.

Would match up with Ralph's comments about perhaps a u23 left back coming in

It’s not even necessarily getting on the end, it’s drawing the oppositions focus.

Interesting to see if he has any involvement in the Newport cup game

Unless there’s a release clause you wonder if Fulham would even sell. They look massive favorites to win the championship. On the other hand forest could probably do with worrall funds to try and improve their squad.

Until trump’s deal to withdraw there still seemed to be us casualties. Offering an indefinite sacrifice of your citizens doesn’t seem very sustainable politically.

Biden was left with a pretty unenviable choice with situation trump left him imo. Pour back forces back in (suffer fresh rounds of deaths) or get out. Given the history of the region a positive long term outcome to re-engagement seems unlikely. The soviets failed there and i’d Say they were likely less squeamish than west.

I really hope this person doesn't win, with her its ok for black people to be racist to others stance. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/aug/16/uk-academic-sues-university-losing-role-critical-race-theory-row-leeds-beckett

Well we signed Armstrong on a Tuesday and he played on a Saturday. Even if they aren't ready to play, it would be benefificial to get them in and training with others asap. Ideally have them be able to play in the Newport game. The vestergaard deal has been sorted since towards the end of last week(and we knew he was likely off all summer and must have had target list identified) so i don't see why we should delay.

Hopefully we can get the cb signing sorted by midweek.

Yeah i'm expecting near the 15M bracket. Even with my very rough calculations i don't see any chance of their being any more than £20M available.

This is the point Mccarthy stops coming for it and he's never going to get there. It's 100% Richarlison/Salisu.

Yeah he came and took a corker in the first half that looked like a certain goal. For me its 100% on Salisu as Mccarthy simply can't get there at the point he stops coming for it(unless he turns into a superhero like the flash) I see Stephens made a team of the week Two Arsenal players make our worst Premier League XI of the opening weekend (football365.com)

Because it would cost money and we have owners who have no money. Personally think we're being well run by Semmens and Co but unfortunately they need a guarantee of money in the bank before they can commit to spending on a replacement for JV.

I assume Armstrong didn't start because of his late pre-season. No clue what KWP did wrong. Looked good in pre-season and even scored.

Was always coming unfortunately. Very sad for those in cities losing freedoms. Shocking to see how an uncommitted army of 300k can collapse before a much smaller but fanatical force.

Think it would be suicidal to try and go that route.

Think the only rationale for signing Cahill would be as a shortterm stopgap, that enabled the club to use the funds to address the keeper situation.

I do feel the whole gun license thing is silly. Once removed surely it simply shouldn't be restored.

Just hope JWP/Romeu give Pogba a thorough going over rather than let him have free reign to do what he likes(like Leeds did)

Best team/best players, there was certainly a benefit to continuity there all the way through to Daglish. When they were no longer top dog it didn't work so well with Ronnie Moran.

No because being an assistant manager bears no correlation to being a successful manager. They are two completely different jobs.
