How can you be more advanced in a process over another club, without making an offer?

i think thats it,though there could be another inauspicious loan or forshaw type free transfer coming in,i`ll be amazed if there is another buy,as ever with the chicken disrespectors,someone will likely be sold to offset the jorgensen deal

If that’s it we are all but down. Squad is woefully short 

[Ossydave]

Poor do when even Nixon can't be arsed making something up and the usual ITK bullshitters 

[Ghost7]

or when your club can't sign any player capable of starting a football game immediately without the fear of an injury, or needing to get "up to speed". 

Pathetic.

Ismael has said across his pre and post match interviews around the Ipswich game that the focus is on a striker but that the Jorgensen deal has made that less of an urgent need. Seems very much like a case of seeing what if anything is left after that and deciding at that point whats next in line after that.

So nice and proactive as ever. And a good job we arent lacking in quality in pretty much every area.

What struck me about United’s win was that they were playing in a system not for a system. 
The  players had freedom to express themselves within their system not be a slave to it. 
We are trying to recruit players with flair and ability, not systems architecture heads. 
When  I hear people like Amorim or even Slot talk about the system then I smell trouble. 
Vi talks about players for a system. It means he can’t motivate players to express themselves within a simple 4-4-2, 5-5-2
They become more fearful about the system than their own ability to attack, or defend.

I'm with you, I fancy our chances of staying up if we start playing 5-5-2.

 

In fact, I don't think I do.  Do we have enough players to play that?

[Ghost7]

Interesting when he signed for Bodo 6 months ago he saw himself “as a winger” but as soon as he signs for us, he’s the striker we’ve been dreaming of. 

I hope he does well but generally with incomings since the summer under Gestede and Ismael it feels like we’re getting pissed on and being told it’s raining.

Likes to use his physical package - that’s us fucked then.

Depends. With Pears in goal I would opt for a safer system. 5-5-5.

In homage to our owners I’d go 6-6-6.
