Ah, the football season is officially back.

.

7 (days)

The lad is an extremely talented footballer. If he has an average / poor year it’s not going to put people off, as they will see extenuating circumstances as to why he had a poor season. In fact, I’d say it would likely mean more teams are interested, as his value will have dropped significantly with his contract situation, so teams like Fulham/Palace/Brentford etc will be more likely to have a go at £15/20m as opposed to £50m

I agree, but the problem is he already looks like our best attacking midfield option (when the obvious leave).

This feels like the Lavia transfer two years ago. Liverpool started low then kept coming back in £3-5m increments and we kept rejecting them, then Chelsea seemed to come out of nowhere offering £56m and we accepted. Liverpool then tried to match but he chose Chelsea.

I don’t want Bazunu as number one next season as much as the next person, but questioning him on the goals yesterday is just utter nonsense.

Think that’s a fair list, although I would personally have a new number one GK up the list a bit. Albeit I don’t think the club will bother and think Bazunu will be number 1, which is a huge mistake.

Thanks mate - any discussion/hints on incomings at all? I presume not but asking more in hope than expectation.

Did Still say anything post match about injury updates or transfers? Couldn’t see anything (I’m not on Twitter)

10 penalties 😉

Fair, it does seem suit the current crop.. I just can’t get past the fact we’ve played crap 90% of the time when playing 5 at the back.

Haven’t you historically complained (correctly btw) that a 5-2-3 formation means we get overrun in midfield?

They did, they started against Brighton a few hours earlier.

Final Position: 6th Top Scorer (goals): Armstrong (15) Player of the Season: Hard to say until transfers completed. Lets go Charles, but will revise to our new number 10 signing once we know who it is. Young Player of the Season: Robinson Summary: expecting us to have a more than slow start, transfers completed on deadline day then another month for everything to bed in. Don’t think we’ll score loads but won’t concede as many either, I can see a lot of 1-0’s, 1-1’s. Think we’ll edge into the playoffs but come unstuck in the semi’s.

What sort of injury for Quarshie?

I feel like the team that played this morning would beat this team.

Rumour has it he bought a faulty Dyson and he’s never let it go.

I love headlines like this. Are they sending it by Pidgeon? Stopping via the Times first to let them know it’s coming.

Armstrong got those assists playing in a different system and style to how Will Still plays. Can Armstrong play as a proper winger? Most people know the answer to this (except you). Robinson is a child who has barely played any senior football, he may well be excellent in the future but we cannot be relying on him. Of course Edozie is leaving FFS

Why do you keep pointing to historic goalscoring records and continue to ignore the fact they are irrelevant, when we are short of people creating chances for them in the first place. Fraser was effective mainly as a sub 2 years ago. Edozie is leaving FFS.

Wasn’t broadcast to the masses though was it.

Wasn’t that forum ‘behind closed doors’ that wasn’t broadcast on Solent and only a select 100 fans got to attend? Bit different.

He’ll be going, because he wants to leave. If it wasn’t about money, he’d sign the new contract that’s been on the table for months.
