Baird of the land

Also wheres the consternation about the lack of Asian representation(9% of population) in both the men's and women's teams

James Justin is an england international. Faes Belgium international. Pereira equally good if not better than Kwp. Dewsbury hall as you say extremely highly rated. Ineacho is he worse than adams

Posed this question before but are there similar views of Leicester selling off their core first team players under contract for a quick buck?

Yeah for me it would be a no. You may say $30M is a lot but i'd say promotion is worth a vast amount more. Equally it can go the other way, brighton not selling Caicedo in January etc.

I don't understand why we would even consider selling Tella or KWP. This whole sell for valuation regardless of the sporting needs is crazy to me. Putting our foot down on Morgan sale back in the day was great and helped the team remain compatible. You'd struggle to replace with similar championship pedigree at this point.

What's funny is that numbers were about proportionate with UK population.

Seems a very mixed bag to me

Didn’t really want to lose any of our current xi but I can understand the sale over losing for nothing like I did with ings. In contrast i’d beinfuriated if tella or kwp are sacrificed at this point. Given his record in this league before and current goal haul, taking the money does put even more pressure to get replacement right (given the cost of messing up promotion). Someone like shankland would be a big risk.

Yeah i don't get the calls to start him unless people are missing. If he was scoring goals in these cameos then i might have a different opinion but right now he's just showing promise for me.

I struggle to see him coming back to the UK. Anyone who tries to sign him will have campaigns like the scottish player has had these last couple of years.

The more important question is how he physically managed it?

No i wouldn't want my club to sign him.

Well i completely disagree. I've been very impressed by him and wingers who score double figures in the championship aren't going to be easy to come by and if they are available and willing to come will be at massive fees. I also feel he's got more than enough ability to cut in the prem if used right. SAA is in no way a starter at the moment.

I’m curious about this business case mantra. So saints were completely wrong to keep Morgan for an extra year for the sake of squad stability.

After week 1 was hoping this might be straightforward but feels more challenging now. I’m sure ainsworth will try and exploit set pieces and it will be interesting to see how we cope (as Plymouth were very weak in that regard). Also fingers crossed tella’s injury wasn’t serious.

But we’d lose a lot more than 15m if we don’t get promoted this season. You can make a case his goals could make promotion more likely (if we can’t replace him with a 20 goal striker)

Definitely a bright prospect. Still very raw though and needs development. Ideally i'd like to see him and edozie competing for roles off the bench with Tella and Sulemana's replacement the starters.

the counter argument would be that 1 in 3 last season is hard a great success rate for buys.

Our black box didn't have a 'heading' module.

I did feel Moyes and a team with actual aerial threats could really get more out prowsey's set pieces than we did.

Will Adams change his middle name to be his first name if he moves to Everton?

If he refused to extend his contract in the prem he's never going to do so in the Championship.

I just hope we have a good replacement ready to bring in this time round.

I'm definitely hoping 'being sent down a year' is our lucky break. Maybe our season will go to bits yet but i don't envy Everton another year of circling the drain.

Calvert Lewin seems to be made of glass. His wage per minute played over the last year must be massive.
