Neverbefore

Its one of the problems I have with all the ITK/rumors floating around online these days - it's not necessarily the person giving the info, its that people can't separate fact from rumor. People get ideas of peoples character and then stick to them even if all the evidence points to the contrary - there are people who will question McGree's loyalty at every possible opportunity from now because of rumors of a fall out last season & various rumors around why he hadn't been signing a contract. Despite the fact that he clearly gets on fine with management and has signed a contract. Same will probably go for ELL because of all the half truths that were flying around on deadline day.

Feel like you're overly harsh on McGree mate. We have other players who have suffered recurring injuries that you don't really mention (Fry, Forss, Bangura) but take every opportunity to put the boot in on him. He's not refusing to play, he wants to be part of the success here, you can see that by what he puts in on the pitch when he's available and the fact hes signed a new contract when no doubt he could have held out to go on free and demand higher wages.

I think even more than that it's often his own fault that he looks clunky, it's not because of his physical attributes. It's his decisions on when to release the ball. I think he is as good an attacking midfielder as you get in this league when it comes to actual quality in his ball striking, but he needs to figure out when to keep the ball moving (whether that be a shot or pass) and when to hold onto it for a better opportunity. That's his biggest weakness right now imo

I'm barely arguing never mind arguing for the sake of arguing. I'm just saying that elite footballers who cost 100mil make occasional mistakes so the defenders we've signed for about 5mil combined will always make errors. We have to live with that and our job is to make sure over the course of the season that that is compensated in our favour.

They won't be eradicated. They're humans not robots

If you think you are going to have defenders in the Championship that won't make errors leading to chances on a fairly regular basis, I've got bad news for you. There's a reason they're playing at this level.

Nightmare fuel this tbh

Been campaigning for this banger for Ireland for many years, my day will come.

Have to say this carlsey not signing the anthem debate is hilarious. Who are these utter gammons who give a ***?

I just started a game of football manager with an updated squad database and I don't have a notion how I'm going to keep all these players happy, so good luck Carrick!

There's a thread set up to discuss international performances already, let's use it and keep it active going forward because it's a good topic to discuss throughout the season!

And gets the assist to the assist a few mins later

Ben doak on at 71mins v Poland. Shows how highly rated he is being their first choice sub to come on chasing a game at 18 years old.

You don't know the discussions or what's been agreed. We could have told them there is no chance he is moving before the end of the season so do what you can on the field and if we don't get promoted we'll sell you for x amount next season. You literally just criticized another poster for saying something based on what he thinks the player may or may not be thinking and then went on to give your own opinion, also based on your own speculation on what him and his agent may be thinking

Starts by asking how someone would know what's going through someone's head, very next sentence claims that someone is "almost certainly" going to do something in 4 months time.
