  1. Man we've missed Howson in the middle. And Engel in for Thomas for the rest of the season. Thomas has been terrible, and not fit enough for the role.
  2. Keep Carrick. Some of the football we have played under him - especially last season - was mesmerising, so it's clear he has the ability to coach and get a team playing well. I would, however, give him exactly what he asks for in terms of backroom staff. I still find it criminal how we said no to Phelan and Meulesteen coming in with Carrick and gladly accepted Woodgate and a vastly inexperienced Grant Leadbitter as our coaching team. I think we will get through this season fine, and firmly believe an improvement in form will coincide exactly with Jones' return. Then it is imperative
  3. Me and my lad driving up for this one. Really looking forward to it. Although he's going to be sat in the away end looking forward to making the memory with him. On that, can anyone suggest the best place for me to park?
  4. If we have seriously agreed: * Villa to pay City their sell-on fee * Minimum £10m upfront * £5m of add-ons * Hefty sell-on clause of our own That is simply astonishing business for a £1m signing from Scott et al. 👏👏👏
  5. Report on Twitter (can't find it now) that an Italian and English club interested in Chuba after Lille have made an offer.
  6. I'd say £8m-£10m is fair, plus Dhuran on loan.
  7. Can't say I expected that to be honest. Nor do I think his performances so far have warranted such a bid. Reckon it's a mix of a data-driven signing and a young English player. He seems to love playing here but we cannot begrudge him being excited and interested. Luckily for us, we can kind of name our price. This is the model as crappy as it is.
  8. Absolutely not against Langstaff for the right price. Watching the video, have to caveat that it is non league games but his movement looks great and thrives on creativity from behind him. Luckily for us, we have Azaz and Rogers...
  9. We're checking for underscores in usernames and numbers of followers on X and Insta. This... This is what the January transfer window is all about.
  10. Wish we signed JSL when we had the chance....
  11. Least Paddy will have some competition... 🍆
  12. I watch a lot of Argyle home games and you're right with this. It's quite a flexible style of play where roles and "in-game moments" are preferred to positions. They definitely spend a lot of time with 3 at the back.
  13. That must just be on paper. Argyle regularly played 3-4-2-1 under Schuey. Azaz would operate in one of the #10's
  14. This. And the fact he looks exactly like that stand up comedian who sings everything in auto tune...
  15. My 15 year old son is an Argyle fan and ST holder and I've done nothing but wind him up all day!
  16. Completely agree. There has to be personal accountability from the players. It almost seemed that it was our game plan to slow the game down, take our time on the ball and draw the time out, knowing we were completely stretched. Unfortunately for us, it seems Ipswich anticipated that and their relentless group press completely scuppered that. We should've changed but I don't think we were able to with the players available to us.
  17. I thought Ipswich were really good out of possession which forced a lot of errors from our part, but there were also so many inexcusable unforced errors from us. Passes short, passes going in-between 2 players so both leave it, touches going out of play, far too slow with the ball, players running into each other. Just looked like we'd never played with each other before. Ipswich played ok, not amazing but effective with and without the ball. Some of their quick play between the lines and third man runs reminded me of us for most of last season and left me scratching my head why have we c
  18. I think we are slightly spoiled as Boro fans which puts us at a disadvantage in that we had arguably the best South American player to have played in England for us, which has put our expectations through the roof when we are either linked, or sign other South Americans. Harsh on Payero to be forced up onto that pedestal but it wasn't to be. Some will work and some won't. I hope it works out for him in Italy and he does well at Udinese and will probably see him at Watford in the near future. Wonder if we're getting a fee for him.
  19. I've been away for a few days and just caught up. I'm going to be honest; there were that many long posts that I stopped processing what was in them, but instead was trying to guess the number of likes it had before I got to the bottom...
  20. Fast, tricky, unpredictable, exciting stocky, direct, #37.. this is our Adama regen...
  21. An absolute dream move that Chuba would have never dreamt possible 12 months ago. I can't wait to see him continue to bang goals in on as many dodgy streams of Ajax's games as I can find. But as someone said before, at least we're seeing photos of him in the #10 of Ajax, and not Luton or Sheff Utd. Don't think I could handle that; like your missus leaving you for the local toothless drug dealer...
