I love Japanese players. Does he qualify?

Did Kapaudi sign a new deal? I can see them selling Hyam and signing him.

Ross Stewart has had a night mare with injuries but a top player at this level.

Is this happening?

Just asked my mates the same question... They all said they'd prefer Brittain. I'm not convinced. I like the pace and physicality of Alebiosu.

Some proper sado's about.

Eh?

No more word on incomings?

Can't describe how proud of them I am. An absolutely unbelievable performance that hopefully springboards our season. Everyone, absolutely everyone was 10/10. Cantwell an 11/10. Can't praise them enough. Todd looked like a premier league player today, looked a good captain and was a class apart. Tronstad was his Rolls Royce best in holding midfield. Alebiosu never gets beat 1 on 1 and is athletic and quick, what a find. Mcgloughlin looks every bit as capable as Batth. We looked and played exactly how I hoped we would. Big, physical, with technical ability in the middle, with pace out wide and organisation at the back. Midfield really made up for last week, grafted without the ball broke the lines in attack. New signings look really promising. We should have won AT LEAST 6-0. Best performance in a long long time.

Infinitely quicker than Dolan.

Who is this ref FFS?

Honestly, I don't trust us to manage this game in the 2nd half, it's nowhere near done yet and our game management is evidently poor both on and off the pitch so my expectations are low. Tavares really worries me being on a yellow with this ref and the bench shows a lack of depth. Next goal decides this game

Tavares needs whipping off at HT.

Arguably one of the worst referees I've seen.

Dirty bastards this lot

This ref is bloody awful.

Dapo Afolayan.

The hope now has to be, now almost all the players who didn't want to play for the manager spreading bad vibes everywhere have been shipped out... This questionable manager has got the types of players in he wants to work with and it yields results. A win tomorrow with some good performances from the new boys will really lift spirits. There is a massive amount of pressure on Gestede because it's clearly his and his teams approach to be a trading club of finding unproven European gems. If it fails... His career in the board rooms of football SHOULD be dead.

Gueye top, Axel, Tavares, Beradji, Miller, Hyam, Mcgloughlin, Alebiosu, means Tronstad, Kargbo & Ribeiro will be the only players under 6ft 2... I hope that bloody counts for something.

I get that but he scored a few goals and got a few assists in the Swiss league. Surely can't be the attacking player we need to come in and be expected to score the goals and provide that assists we need.

Am I misunderstanding what the manager is saying? Was he talking about us being close (ish) to signing an attacker or is Beradji the player he's talking about?

Not that a penny will be reinvested like...

It's got EVERYTHING to do with being entitled when it comes to "professional" footballers and their agents.

Fair enough, the club is a shambles but my primative tribal self seeing former kids who haven't made it giving it large about "making it out" of the former premier league champions is thinking... Get to fuck you entitled prick, football owes you NOTHING.

On the flip side, we took a risk and signed him believing he would valuable enough to take up one of those slots but hasn't fulfilled his potential and worth to fill the spot... Therefore released. I'd argue it's actually pretty fair, decisive and cut throat which is what I want to see tbh. No one should take this as if I'm impressed by the current management at the club, just calling it as it is.
