They would be better off coming out and admitting that talks haven't started because they don't want them to. Trav, Tronstad, Hyam and Brittain are all the wrong profile for this club. Experienced, "old", high wages, and proven at this level. They want that lot out, to be replaced with 20-24 year old French, Belgian, Dutch players who will be on at the most half of that lot's wage. Then they will all be sat around scratching there heads as to why when we plunge into a relegation fight.

No, their starting keeper Dibusz stayed on. Sweden won 2-0.

It isnt.

LT reporting the Travis links now, I worry that is the first step by the club before we sell him

I'd say whatever the League is below Conference level, that's about his standard.

Says in the Lancashire Telegraph that there is still no contract offer on the table for Travis. With mention of his wedding! Absolutely no excuse to get into these situations, theres always an excuse. Mid way through the season, dont know what division we will be in, focusing on signing players, a bloody wedding. Tying down key players long term is as important as anything.

I am (within reason) one of his biggest critics. But he obviously should be within a million miles of a professional football club. Probably at League 1 level.

One probably won't be here and the other shouldn't be within a million miles of a professional football Club.

Hence "moving back" over. You are correct that the vast majority of his games for us, and other clubs have been on the right wing.

The Brittain part does, if he stays.

Hedges and Brittain kinda makes sense.

Not sure why you think that unless you thought I meant jumping up and down with glee as opposed to jumping up and down in exasperation. I've seen and heard lots of OTT criticism on social media and the radio. A lot of people are also opposed to his appointment simply on the basis he isn't English. I just want the best man for the job. Short of hiring Pepp or Klopp I think we've done that although I'll concede he's started in rather strange fashion.

Dolan to leave so Hedges to start. Money in (maybe) and none spent. Bingo! The Venky's model

I thought Hedges was a right winger? He only moved to the left last season/under Eustace. He's never been fast enough to go outside his man and use left foot, and all his best games have come playing on the right and running diagonal lines. Don't want him to start, but it's not a surprise...

I think Gestede said we want a right winger "to replace Cozier Duberry." Probably another untested kid on loan I suspect.

Thank God Hedges is still a nailed on starter for us, he's such a quality player(!)

I thought he was quite good in that if you were playing one of the "big 4" of the time he would give a much more even handed display than the other referees would and wouldn't just give them every decision. RIP.

That's good news, I can hardly wait to see Hedges back flip, when he scores.

I wouldn't raise a finger to help the Venkys.

Christ on a bike.

He didn't promise anything, he just said "I always win something in my second season" Of course it's different to Wigan, they had been battling against relegation for a few seasons, there was no expectation for Wigan to do anything different other than battle relegation from the league. Spurs are expected to fight on all fronts as they've heavily backed their manager. Of course they won't swap it but the cup win doesn't make Ange a great manager when the evidence of a 17th placed premier league finish with less than 40 points on the board is sat there as evidence to the contrary. I don't think it suits yours either, Wigan didn't prioritise the cup over the league, they won the cup and tried to stay in the league as well. Wigan only made 2 changes for the FA cup final vs the game before it, one was a player returning from injury. Anyway, I'm done banging my head against a brick wall on this.

Elliot saying that "internal discussions" have Hedges moving back over to the right wing next season, probably so they don't have to bother with a Dolan replacement.

It's a different situation entirely. Your inability/refusal to see any nuance is infuriating.

Is this De Neve guy actually close to signing or is it like the previous fella where the advanced talks fell off a cliff as soon as it was mentioned? If it is legit then I do see some logic in bringing in another left sided player. Hedges is crap and Kargbo's hammys have a 90% chance of going every time he breaks into a sprint.

No one has said that they wouldnt prefer to win a trophy over finishing higher in the league. Its just that some people think that the overall performance of the club this season predominantly results in the league season make it understandable why the club have decided that Ange isnt best placed to take it forward and understand the sacking.
