Million percent this ,

This new narrative its all the players fault for wanting to exit on masse is unbelievable.

Staff , players, managers the exits this last 12 months is not about a few quid here and there.

Even Val looked a bit peed today.

I don't think anyone blames them for wanting out, fans just don't want to see half hearted performances because they don't want to be there anymore, whatever the reason might be. I think that's pretty fair.

No sympathy he should have knew what he was getting himself into

Sebastian Tounekti the random winger?

Being reported in the Norwegian press.

Seems another random gamble, not sure he qualifies for a WP

This was reported in Sweden too

De neve looks like a wing back to me, not a winger/wide forward. Big engine, not a lot else.

He looks like a massive mistake to me

Massive? He probably cost about 250k. Set your expectations low.

Hence my Emerton comparison.

Well he's obviously been signed as a first team player, so will be judged by first team standards.

That said it's impossible to judge a player off a single competitive game. 

I do think a switch to 343 is coming though. I dont think we have the right players for 4231.

Based on what I have seen today I reckon this could work better for us...

                           Toth

         Miller.      Hyam.    McCloughlin 

Alebiouso.  Travis.   Tronstad.    De Neve

       Cantwell.    Ohashi.    Kargbo

 

Early days but Millar looks ideal for a RCB in a back three.

You can quickly remove Travis from there he’s a goner

More what I envisioned when we spoke about needing a winger than the Japanese lad.

Seems quick and direct, which is what we lack.

The steadfast refusal to play Gueye from our fans astounds me.

He makes things happen when he's on the pitch.

Not goals. Or many wins.

I am a big Gueye fan but he was up and down with Eustace and since Ismael has come in I dont think he has had a single good game...

He certainly doesn't look like a footballer !

[simongarnerisgod]

looks like pears and buckley are going,ffs just buy a centre forward with the money they bring in,i like yuki,he`s a tidy player but very lightweight

[davulsukur]

Everyone's favourite X ITK.

[roversfan99]

With the random obscure foreign signings, he has struggled to even pretend that he has any clue what is going on.

This is one thing it is pretty easy to nail using his tactic of guessing based on what is in the public domain.

Exactly this - acts like someone has phoned him up directly and said ‘Nathan we want you to be the first to know’ it’s common sense ffs

West Brom comms said it was a baptism of fire up against Furlong, spot on I'd say.

Not many harder full backs than Furlong .

What sort of thrill does he get out of pretending to have a mystery transfer source.
