Was Carter off injured or as a half time swap to manage his minutes? I can only see that he came off in the 46th minute according to livescore.com, dunno if that's after a minute of ET or the first minute of the second. From 1 up to a 4 goal capitulation second half. Looks like swapping Carter out for McIlroy caused problems. Nosegbe got on the pitch for Pitt in the 87th minute, and we conceded the final goal a minute later (after also conceding a minute before he came on).

The next edition of FM needs to give him a 1 out of 20 for positioning. And that's only because it doesn't do 0s.

Says everything when you lose 3 nil and the keeper wins MOTM

How did she go from 'no idea how it works behind the scenes' to that?

You have absolutely wasted Szmodics. He is a fine player and deserved better.

So I was working all day today and I've just watched the highlights. What in the Shane Duffy was that own goal?! I knew Cashin had scored one, but that was far worse than I expected. Nobody anywhere near him, keeper has the ball covered, lashes at it for no reason giving the keeper no chance, and then, possibly worst of all, casually grabs the ball and heads back towards the centre circle like it wasn't shit. Appalling. I'd say Sammie Szmodics looked more embarassed to score!

Bazaar is right. It's like we got bartered into it by some shifty vendor when we had only intended to buy a jacket.

Guess the manager can't be blamed for what he has picked then.

When was the last time we had to pay someone's contract up after a year? We are allegedly paying 3.5 mill for him. It would be beyond idiotic to give him a 2 year deal. It would also be ludicrous to pay anything like that for a player we thought might flop after a year and need paying off.

New York Red Bulls also saw something in him at 18 to pay 2.5 million dollars for him. Course, it didn't work out there for him either, but at that age it's pretty easy for things to not work out.

The GBE calculator I used said he only had 10 points. So unless it's wrong (always been right before) or needs an update to reflect more recent games, he doesn't qualify.

Which interview? Which comments by Pasha? The owners being willing sellers would be more exciting than any transfer we could possibly sign.

He'll be even more reticent to share what he has heard now.

That second goal is quality. Pretty good set of goals he scored for them in generally actually. Nice range of them too. I wonder why they didn't rate him.

It's a good question given his scoring record there was alright too.

Of course he is - he had no idea this signing was happening so probably spent about 5 minutes checking into who he was before submitting.

As long as we file the paperwork. Not our strong point as a club. Also, he only signed on 31st January. So wouldn't that be the earliest we could convert him? And how long does it take for the paperwork to settle? Apologies if I've asked this before.

Then lets loan him 😂

I don't think Donnum is confirmed yet.

Potentially no more getting on the pitch either...

Not sure if it has been mentioned, but Jorgensen requires an ESC slot as he only has 10 points. I think that takes our last slot. Donnum, on the other hand, easily qualifies for a permit with 26 points.

The only reason the option doesn't get taken up is if his form dips hugely or he becomes injury-ridden. For the purposes of a transfer, it is an extra year on his deal, giving us better bargaining power for a big money sale.

He doesn't have less than 2 years on the contract.

I'd save yourself the stress now, we 100% aren't getting all that. The only way we could even fill those as positions on top of these other two is if we just bought a load of dross again like in the summer.
