its was behind closed game in pre season

Barnsley, Bucko also played in this one

Ismael can show his open & honesty and tell us the time scale. He loves his honesty doesn’t he!

Quote what Suhail said in the real version of the FF Minutes. "We did not know he would be that good" and send a few hundred copies to VH headquarters advising that Suhail's lack of judgement on players, (which is a fundamental part of his job) is costing them millions. Pasha out.

Nobody inside seems to know either

Do you remember which game? Can't find his name anywhere on the teamsheets (from other sources - obviously our own site doesn't seem to bother...)

Fixed that for you Chris.

Alan Browne would have been a fantastic signing given his experience and quality, the way it was dismissed totally out of hand in the post match interview tells me everything I need to know.

I know exactly what the situation is. He's unavailable to play and won't be match fit for some time.

no one outside the club knows what the situation is with Baradji

If he was to sell for £150 million, I'd wager that Suhail Pasha's head might be the next to be nailed on the boardroom wall. I mean, even to a bunch of remote and disengaged halfwits, the sale of an asset for around 13.6% of 'fair market value' might be seen as somewhat cack handed and incompetent... Just think, the Venksters, could have recouped a large slice of their sunk cost in one fell swoop, simply by holding on to a star player, adding a little extra support to a manager clearly capable of cutting it at Premier League level (or at least ambitious enough to take the club to that level again) and waiting for the offers to roll in - who'd a thewt it? And what stopped this alternative universe scenario playing out? Well, apparently there's this shadowy figure at the club who holds the purse strings, but has the imagination of an ant, the football knowledge of the average foot scraping and the business acumen of Mr Magoo. So, come on Liverpool, Barcelona, whoever, make this prick stand out for the fraud that he clearly is (NB, Suhail Pasha, not Saint Adam (I bleed blue and white) Wharton. PASHA and VENKY FOOTBALL SCOURGE OUT!

And if that is the case whoever decided that we should ship out Travis and replace him with Baradji needs firing. You can't replace your captain with a player who won't be fit for months.

They wont sign another CM having got 3 in (Forshaw, Baradji, Tavares) As many have said, despite that we are chronically short there in both quality and experience. Tavares looks very poor from what we have seen, granted he missed most of pre season. Will define our season.

Doubt Baradji will be fit till november time then he’ll need time to get up to speed and adapt to the championship.. may aswell have got him in January

That midfield 5 is terrifying, Tronstad the only championship quality player in there, the other 3 I don't believe are the standard required and a massive question mark (being kind) next to Baradji who we have no idea a) if he's any good b) when he's fit.

Dan Barlaser or Sam Field.. both below average footballers but would be our 2nd best midfielders and have experience, panic day so would definitely take either

Even though I don't think he is outstanding someone like Dan Barlasar at Boro could be brought in on a cheap enough deal Gestede ...ismael...Owen.. etc have seen our games it's frightening if they are not concerned over our options at centre mid

just put the R next to our name now

Installing Gold Plated Toilet Seats and Taps,luxury padded seats in Darwen End...free Pie and Pint also.

100%, he signed up for this too so he isn’t faultless at all.. go get an experienced number 2 on a free 🤷‍♂️

Its bizarre. He played (his request) for the under 21s a couple of weeks ago. If Toth gets injured and a young lad comes in and makes a mistake. Thats on Ismael.

think Bucko, him, Trav and Leonard did, could be wrong

The Pears thing is really odd. Even if he is "Hair transplant guy" how bad can it be? Surely he could at worst play with a protective cap or dressing on. Can't understand him being frozen out to the extent he isn't even being considered as back up. Did he stick up for Lesley as well?

He wont be going anywhere regardless. He has 3 years left. They arent paying that off.
