Bumbling fool

Anthony, KLP, Nunes, Carvalho, Damsgaard and Ouattara have all played significant portions for their senior careers as LWs, all have stiff competition for their places elsewhere on the pitch. Imo we wouldn't be in a desperate rush to replace him...

Am I the only one who still thinks it's Collins and vdB? Ajer has been immense but I do think the limitations of his passing game hamper us in buildup. Schuster has hit the ground running very commendably and is clearly prodigious in the art of...

Not as bad as when Aaron himself gets bumped

Best player in the league according to whoscored* *Worth taking with a massive pinch of salt because whoscored routinely has James Tarkowski as the best centreback in the league, which indicates to me that their player ratings are massively...

I do genuinely think the formation that gets the best use of our current personnel would be a 4312 or diamond 442 with really high wingbacks, 3 CM/DMs in Yarmo Sangare and Janelt. Schade and Thiago/Wilson up top, Carvalho or Damsgaard behind...

Maybe there's only space on the bench for one of those two U21s, and it was decided that Fredrick had more of a chance of getting on the pitch today given Schade Anthony and Anthony were on the bench already cos KLP started on the wing. In the...

If you put dioufs crossing in Rico's body and Rico's defending in dioufs body that'd be quite a good LB and LCB pairing, hopefully their combined qualities are sufficient in the aggregate

Nunes was on the bench last game, thought he might get a run out today. Hope his non inclusion here doesn't indicate he's injured :(

Something between a JDS and a Carvalho is my impression, 8 or 10, progresses the ball with carries from deep but is also a useful tight space operator in the opponents box, lots of goals and assists in his game.

Anyone else remember how he went through a dry spell at brugge right after we'd signed him, and then in his first proper season he scored 22 goals? Anyone else remember how he spent most of 24/25 injured and then played basically every minute...

Think he was talking about this one View: https://x.com/Inter_Xtra/status/2096150741010239641?s=20 Think it was in the old thread but can't see it now

If Collins is gonna be out til the international break there could be space on the bench for a CB against Bournemouth, and a need to test his readiness against reading. Might be glad not to have gone out a loan this summer

He can still take it from a 9/10 to a 10/10 window by convincing Kev and Matthi to extend

Their first choice LB Connor Ogilvie apparently out til around October, their other natural leftback, Jacob Farrell, is perennially injured and was most recently loaned out to Western Sydney Wanderers, and at the moment they're starting natural...

I can forsee a scenario where Wilson gets injured (being as he is 34 with a patchy injury record) and Kaye relieves Igor of his duties from the bench, but I think you're right in that if both were injured Schade would start with Anthony coming in...

Happy 10 years Rico, hope we can trouble you for just one more! I hear from west ham fans that Malick could learn from you about defending the left flank!

Wins headers and tracks back and presses and makes runs in behind and stretches defences and cuts it back from the byline and scores random hattricks But apart from that what have the Romans done for us

Blimey that's quite a good move for him

Not one for this window but a little reminder so he thinks of us when spuds go down and he's looking for life rafts 🤣

What is going on at Brentford FC, not only is the first team doing brilliant but our youngsters on loan are giving MotM performances left right and centre

For youth loans I think Meghoma is a dead cert, Nunes and Furo also seem likely to me. Ji-Soo I think might be sold, last year of his contract (+1 yr option) and there's so much competition at CB. Fredrick I think may be injured still? So I can...

Fabio to hull on a loan with no buy option works for me, it's our most stacked position and it's a good way to blood him in to the prem with regular minutes at a club he knows. Wouldn't want a buy option unless the price was absurdly high, I've...

Will take silly money to shift Schade and Collins at this point in the window, until a good source says a genuinely massive club is in for them it can all be safely ignored. Even from the players perspective the direction of travel for us this...

According to the upcoming FIFA game (normally highly debatable but pace is fairly objective they probably do base it on some hard data) Schade 92 Ouattara 85 Kayode 81 Rico 80 (down from 86 🙁) Diouf 79 Anthony 78 KLP 77 Thiago 74

Joe James greatest, Ethan best (games come along way in the last hundred years)
