Baird of the land

How did you get your stats. We’ve lost 11 games in league. Cedric has played in 5 losses.(wolves, west ham, Newcastle, Everton & Bournemouth). We beat Brighton after losing first 2 games. That leaves 4 losses.(man city, Leicester, Chelsea & spurs)It also excludes the fact we won 2-0 after he went off in the palace game.

My guess is we were originally in for kwp because we thought Valery was out for longer.

Glad I was organized and got mine earlier

is kwp fit to play / is there enough time to get him up to speed if he is

My guess is 1 rb to compete with Valery 1 lb if Bertrand leaves. 1 center back for yoshi. Cheap young 4th choice/or promote internally if vest leaves 1 cm / 2 if we lose hojberg 1 striker if long or Adams leaves

Seems reasonable to me. Move on a player the manager has never overly fancied who was leaving in the summer anyway and who is injured. Even if it’s not 5m saved once you factor in kwp lower wages and loan fee it will help in the summer given we’ve an owner with no money.

We may not be paying all of kwp wages though and he's no doubt on lower wages anyway.

Cedric leaving probably had a lot to do with how we managed to win race for kwp over others.

Given his lack of games probably didn't want to be stiffed with obligation to buy for a big fee and levy probably didn't want to give us simple option to buy. From the sounds he's more versatile on the left than cedricwhich will help. If valery returns looking sharp and bertrand stays fit I'd hope kwp spends most of his time warming the bench cushions.

While his performances have improved recently he's overall been average. You think it would help regarding summer transfer activity too. You'd assume if its done that means kwp move is too and valery return is imminent.

Or maybe they just want him as cover for when bellerin is injured.

Hopefully he spends the whole time with us warming the bench because our own players stay fit and play well

Nor Valery unfortunately. JWP at right back then.

I doubt we think we've found his replacement otherwise we'd be agreeing a payment for him. Most likely he's competition for the soon fit again Valery(if its true we're going to sell Cedric)

no we don't. If(and its a big if) we sell him and bring in KWP we will still have 2 right backs.

Glad the distraction of potential Pompey game was avoided

Really ridiculous. I have zero interest in Love Island or the Bake Off, doesn't mean my colleagues shouldn't be allowed to discuss those subjects.

As long as it's not like the De Boer/Pellegrino situation where we both ended up with appalling choices.

The FA showing a complete lack of intelligence in agreeing to it. Hardly like replays are a unfathomable new occurence.

Guess short term it gives us some options Hopefully no obligation involved as buying someone with little experience, just because he's at spurs is poor logic. Aurier is a terrible right back too, which says something.

Well its about 306m in and 246m out in the last 4 years and for one of those years they must have earned a huge amount from the champions league and blown it on the likes of Slimani. They have a decent owner too unlike us.

I would hope Ralph would be here next season. I can’t see the obvious step up job currently unlike with koeman.

Shrewsbury’s midfielder Laurent looked very good.

Do we rest Ings vs Liverpool to keep him fresh for midweek game vs Spurs?

I'd prefer if we are going for the 4th choice centre back as a development project to use an academy product such as Jones or Klarer. Danso doesn't seem worth a fee to me but at the end of the day as long as its Ralph making the decision. Bednarek came in cheap and has been an excellent purchase, so maybe danso's got very deeply hidden potential other don't have.
