  6. Willock, Gelhardt, Dolan, Dembele, or Kent would be my picks from that, although I think the latter two would have suitors more appealing than us. The 2 Chelsea lads and Pellistri are good options also but with them being loans we would only end up having the same conversation in a year (Hutchinson and Pellistri I feel will go to a club higher than us, probably somewhere in Europe or a newly promoted prem team next year anyway) If we can get Greenwood on decent wages for 1.5 m though, honestly I'd be happy with that. All players struggle for consistency when they first start playing
  7. I read somewhere he had a falling out with one of the coaches or something
  8. Still love the design, I've got no issues with it personally. I'll probably buy one off the back of a lorry, not paying full price
  9. Cant speak for all the names on your list but Hlozek is playing regularly for Leverkusen at the top of the Bundesliga. Sulc and Saldanha played in Europe this year for Plzen and Partizan respectively. Chytil played Europa League. None of these are realistic targets in my opinion. You've also got Bair who is in his mid 20s and has a 1 in 3 record this season in Scotland, and Gallagher has scored 1 in 6 in the league we are currently in, admittedly I've not watched much of them live but would they really be better than what we currently have?
  10. Havent they been trailing that change to the offside rule? It'd be much better for the game I agree! I think the issue with appeals is that the opposing team could take advantage by making you use all your appeals and then continuing to break the rules when you run out of challenges
  11. The handball rule is a nightmare full stop but I'd probably agree with the definition you've gave there
  12. There's 3 changes to VAR I would make which I think would improve it massively. #1: Use the instant offside system they had in the World Cup where it shows a blue screen with the decision. Why on earth the FA has settled for this fallible "drawing lines on a pitch" nonsense is beyond me, as mistakes have been made multiple times. This is the sort of thing I mean: #2: More transparency in the decision making process. Every team has a big screen in the stadium now. Get the checks played on the big screen, get the audio on between the ref and the VAR room so we can understand
  13. I'm all in for that away shirt.
  14. Or, from an alternative viewpoint, are the metrics you are using to show how the league is poorer outside the top 4 (lower points totals, worse GD, worse W/L ratios, etc) caused by the top 4 being so dominant when playing the teams beneath them? Would be interesting to see a table without the results against the top 4 from this year and last year to marry them up. The teams in the league may not be any worse but may have stagnated whilst much better opposition has arrived
  15. Fry is a fine Championship defender as part of a unit of 4 CBs. Silvera and Greenwood are still young. Nobody is calling for either to be first choice and both have chipped in with goals from a second choice role. Silvera and Engel have move to new leagues, new countries which takes time to settle and have been in an inconsistent side. Both have shown improvement since their early season performances. Barlaser has an eye for a pass and has had some good performances and some poor ones, although I dont think he makes the first XI as he seems to need a bit more time and space than
  16. Wouldn't the buyback have to take place when the transfer window opens again? Regardless of the clause, they can't complete the transfer paperwork until the window opens. So it would go on the summer and next year's accounts either way
  17. Surely it's not out the realms of possibility? It would just be classed as a 9m sale rising to 18m if certain targets were hit, with a 7m mandatory buyback if the target was not hit? We dont know exactly what will be declared on their accounts yet I dont think? Alternatively, if they have ran it through as an 18m sale with a 16m buyback option, due to Sheff U paying the fee in installments the agreement is Sheff U just dont pay the second 9m installment and Villa pay the extra 7m back. Which also makes sense for Villa as they added a full 18m to the FFP this year but next year the fee wou
  18. Thank you mate Thanks bud. I think Engel works better as a LB in a 4 than a LCB in a 3, I think Clarke is better suited in that spot. As McNair is leaving, Clarke Fry VdB and Lenihan leaves us with 4 defenders, so I wouldnt be letting any of them go to be honest especially after seeing how injuries have affected this season, 2 for every spot is necessary. Even without injuries, playing twice a week to a top level is damaging over a sustained period, look at how knackered some of our players this season when they had to play as the alternatives were injured. If we switch
  19. Can any of the other 3 convincingly play the LCB of a back 3? I think if we stick to 3atb Clarke is definitely in with a shout for that role
  20. Away in Toaster for a bit of R&R so missed the game but 3 points is 3 points. We keep up this form and we may sneak into 6th and then who knows, form is always relevant going into the playoffs. Nice of Boro to not spoil my birthday celebrations, I shall be tucking into an extra few glasses of gin tonight to celebrate. Huzzah

  22. I'd like to see the same formation on Tuesday, with Jones in for Ayling (if fit) being the only change. If we have to manage LL, let him terrorise their defenders for the first 60 mins before letting someone like Silvera take over. Wont get to watch this I dont think as it's my birthday and the Mrs is taking me away for a few days so I wont have the dodgy stick, which is a shame as I reckon we're gonna put 3 past them
  23. Who makes the decisions at Watford? Quickdraw McGraw?
