England batted very well to win and chase that target. Its disappointing

I dont have much of an opinion, I dont have any opinion on the quality of the player. I am just speculating as to where he may fit in. You are questioning me and only me as if I have said he is shit and I am appalled by his potential signing.

I’m not sure we’re near that stage yet - if/when the money runs out I’m guessing they’ll start borrowing against the training ground etc etc.

At what point did he give up on the league? Was it the 1 win in 10 between December and January? or the 1 win in 12 between Feb and May? Or the incredibly patchy form after the first 13 games? Its just a terrible excuse from him. I'd be a pretty unhappy Spurs fan knowing I've shelled out very good money for a season ticket, only for the manager to give up with the league in December.

Ridiculous statement.

Thats what makes the most sense positionally, otherwise its an odd addition

Ismael recruiting ready to play 3 centre halves. Left sided centre half and De Neve who will most likely play left wing back. Certainly think wing back is Britain’s best position. I’m fairly certain we were linked with Nade a couple of years ago as well.

How can you have much of any opinion of the player when none of us have seen him play live or what his best attributes are or weaknesses. Or what position he will play here. I suspect this is one of few signings we will make from the French and Belgium market.

No sales in shops support the coalition

I see what you mean now. Even more of a reason to do our own version. The official 150th anniversary shirt brought to you by the supporters coalition.

I would suspect that they wouldn't have started the process without knowing they would secure some kind of conviction. Really hoping the money runs out soon. Administration can't come soon enough.

Left back. Strange.

M’learned colleague @rog of the rovers pointed out to me that you can make out the Macron logo through the white half which suggests it’s a dark logo on a white half at the front. My response to that was along the lines that my relationship to Rovers is at best fragile momentarily & a non-reversed halves home shirt in our 150th year might be the straw that breaks this camel’s back 🤦‍♂️😆

I know, he should have gone out early like everyone else.

If the links to CBs and de Neve are true, Ismael may be switching to a 3-4-3, in which case Pickering probably plays CB and we need a backup to Ribeiro as wing back

Would be nice if true, and to be fair most of our signings the last few years have come without much rumour.

Or they're reversed on the front.

I just think with our microscopic budget, a CB isn't what we should be spending on. It's easier to find decent enough freebies or even loans in that area. Our budget needs to be spent on attack.

Oh, it comes easily.

This suggests no reversed halves on the back…🤦‍♂️

Yes…but need to find a supplier who will do short order runs to a precise, bespoke design at an attractive price point…👍

I get questioning what type of player he might be etc. I dont get how you can just flippantly come to that conclusion.

That makes any potential signing a bit more puzzling in terms of where he is likely to fit in.

Im not sure what I have said about Kargbo that is relevant. With transfers like this, ie players from abroad, its obviously an unknown but totally witholding any opinion would eliminate the point of this thread. So we can just base it on what we know, so position, standard that hes playing at, how his team has done, how regularly he has played, if hes an attacking player how many goals and assists hes got etc. On Kargbo, I raised the point that he seemingly did really well at Serie C but was often a sub in Serie B. So the question was always, is he capable of coping with the jump to Championship standard. That question hasnt been answered positively or negatively as he has barely played due to injury. On De Neve, I never said that he isnt a wide man, you've misread what I put. Based on what we know, he isn't a wide man who has scored or assisted many goals in his career, probably partly because he has often played at left back. I have no idea how good or otherwise he is, I am just speculating on what type of player he seems to be, and whether he seems to be the type of player we need or where he will fit in, if he signs. Ultimately, we have no idea if this player will even sign.
