  1. Adams putting his stamp on the game then getting stamped on. Referee not first class.
  2. We were told we could pay transfer fees. We were then told we could pay fees if we sold someone. We sold someone. We have one fit CF. No one wants the return of Mel Morris splurges but we have the biggest turnover in the league and only 1 fit CF. This is not a good position.
  3. We were told we had some money for transfer fees. We also had the Bird fee. We are Collins injury away form not finishing top 6.
  4. Oh dear. Initials not acronyms. I thought you'd enjoy a tedious debate. You've made this one tedious already
  5. After the unsuccessful signings, for various reasons, of TJJ, MW, CW, JW, SB and EE, has Clowes lost faith in our ability to spend money wisely? The Bird transfer has obviously been in the process for weeks, yet no permanent signings lined up.
  6. I think there is an outdated view of football at times on this forum.The opinion that defensive work is all about tackling. Who can do the biggest, hardest tackles. Good players tackle less but intercept more, anticipate more, read the game. The main reason we don't pick up second balls in midfield is lack of pace or numbers, not lack of courage.The number of full on 50/50 tackles now is far outweighed by interceptions and people nicking the ball away. In the English game every time we get a midfield player with skill we want them to play further forward and leave the area in front of centre backs to cloggers. This is why we will never find a Pirlo in English football and why we struggle to win major tournaments as we can't control games.
  7. It's almost like he has to do more defensive work against better opponents
  8. Joao has gone to China Wickham hasn't played since May It's not a great list
  9. Clutching at straws, even short ones
  10. I wouldn't be excited, just noticed he has been released today.
  11. If you want to pass the ball to each other then he'll do well If you want to run around more than the other team, then not so much.
  12. Any free agent CFs around?. Dwight Gayle?
  13. This only makes sense if it allows us to make permanent signings this window
  14. That is what he wanted, he just wouldn't commit now. More kick and rush
  15. Disagree I'd play Bird deepest, but I think PW will play Hourihane deepest. We need a good passer near the CBs dictating play. Pace is needed in midfield, you want the fastest CM sat. You want him pressing, breaking into the box
  16. At some point you're going to have to just tell us, who is the postman and who is the letterbox?
  17. He was a terrible signing. He ruined our pattern of play. Signing him and Bent was the beginning of the end of that Steve McClaren purple patch
  18. Yeah one of them says something with about the last line of thr episode. I was too pished off by then
  19. Heronissos may be the place for you then. They have got an argument club there, but as you are only there for a week, you may not have enough time to finish one 😀
  20. Agios Nikolaos. Decent sized resort with some music bars but not party central. Big enough to find a quiet area that suits you. If that is too busy for you Elounda is nice but can be pricey.
