Are we winning the league?

I think he will. You'd expect Davies and Szmodics to contribute. He's certainly scored a few for us coming off the outside. What he may struggle with is Delap retaining position as the most forwards player. He's been lethal for us running onto central space and that didn't look there (granted, Vs Liverpool)

Looking slightly lost out on the left wing

Cant be, there's not a chance we coach our keepers to come out for anything

Will always struggle to impress with Pears behind him. If he does, and he does leave, O Riordan on paper is the replacement

I would at a price. Decent option in midfield and put his foot in slightly more than the other loanees did.

Shall we try Posh again and go for Ajiboye. Absolutely lightning quick.

Off topic but Gillingham starting the season with Dack and Johnny Williams is a lethal rotation option at that level. That said they'll probably still need a 3rd to cover the above twos injury records

So there we are then. 37m in the coffers. Cannot begrudge Sammy at all. Saw people gushing over Dack in previous posts but he irked me with his comments joining Sunderland. For Sammie he did everything (and more) expected of him. All the best for triple your wage near where you grew up in the Prem. Annoying as clearly the deal has been structured for as much money up front as possible - which makes me think there's little confidence in the court case. I think even allowing for age Jacob Greaves isnt twice the player Sammie is. Was hoping Bournemouth maybe added some contest. Slight well done to GB getting the contract sorted and getting some leverage. Otherwise back to square one of weakening the team and waiting for an Indian judge to decide our fate

Christ alive. Results are looking decent enough let's turn the taps off. There's a risk we get playoffs if we improve too far.

Reckon Leeds back in for Szmodics now theyve lost Rutter?

Every photo I've seen of him he's either smiling ear to ear, flexing and 8 pack of leaping 8ft in to the ear. Don't think confidence will be an issue

Was Markanday ever a winger by the way? I thought he was off a striker for the Spurs youth team. Regardless, if he can go play 30 games anywhere then he will be better for it. 5 loan spots free, let's get some pace in.

Much like the concerns on Gueye's finishing I thought Ohashi had concerns on injury record. If so we will need depth to rotate him.

The frustration with Buckley isn't ability it's consistently. Over the years he's been coming through and pops up with games where he looks a class above. He's getting on a bit now and needs to do it week in week out.

I also hope we score 5 every week. Might help us sneak play offs!

As much as I do like Yuki he needs his engine because his first touch can be wanting at times

Anyone would think we've a 5ft9ex amateur goal keeping and set pieces coach

There is another poster called Mercer who routinely talks about betting on Blackburn and spending his winnings on expensive red wine

Wrong account mercer

In the words of the immortal Wu Tang Clan Cash Rules Everything Around Me

A bit of paperwork? Well that's why we've not done it yet

He's got the instinct, just not quite the nous or the physicality If league one can give him either of those he will do us well in this league

Any ideas on keepers? Is the french league looked at or is that gossip

I do Chaddy
