The O’Hare scenario is in all probability as simple as 95% of all football transactions. If our offer is the highest pay he signs. If someone else offers more he goes there. There’s lots of nonsense about other stuff but it normally is as basic as that.

Turd is obviously a Brazilian as they are using the single name method.

I have it on very good authority that F**king Donkey, Turd and Useless C**t are our three confirmed January targets.

Work load balance could be an interesting can of worms to open.

Stats. Great. Where is the context functionality. Just hope it’s used as a very very marginal check tool rather than having any meaningful decisions coming from it.

Agreed. You can have good players in a poor league.

I really hope he goes for big money. But that said the Portuguese top division is fairly crud. Bottom 5-6 prem and top 7-8 championship standard. If he goes to a top 6 Prem club he’ll be a squad “filler”.

I don’t see that personally.

What about the flip side. Do we think we’ll lose anyone. Well anyone we don’t want to lose?

L1 and L2 days saw some poor players. Ramage, Henderson etc. We also had some hard luck stories like Andreu and Hreidarrsson. But our scouting has had blips going back a very long way. I started going late 70’s / early 80’s. Scouting flops have to include Drinkell, Robertson, Evtushok, Lamptey...

1) Godden / O’Hare / Sakamoto 2) Simms / O’Hare / Sakamoto 3) Wright / Simms / O’Hare

He’d be worth a bit!

You can see exactly why we were so determined to get Kitching. Thomas is a good buy but in all aspects he’s a bit less polished than Kitching. They are also helped by the flat back four meaning they get the benefit of Van Ewijk’s pace defensively more often and of course Bidwell being a better...

Another big plus in this squad is that in every position we have two players who could feasibly start. That wasn’t the case last year.

Sakamoto has looked great in the last few games and his link play with Van Ewijk is really improving. But the cross was a standard ball in to be honest. Thomas’ header added just enough pace for it to go in. I’ll take it, of course, but the cross was just one you see 50 times a game.

Wright & Simms first choice. Godden plus a young loan as back up.

January I’d go all in for a quality midfielder. The only other addition I’d make is a young prem striker on loan - using the Ayari cash.

Completely agree with this. The Gyokeres and Hamer cash has been invested to give us a more rounded squad. And one that we “own”. We have the big pebbles at the bottom of the jug in place and we’ve just got to add the infillers. The cycle moves on. You can imagine us inevitably getting big cash...

Thomas & Kitching is starting to deliver big time - and they are both “ours”. Thought Simms turned up really well for his thankless task. And I thought Eccles had a really good game as well.

What a great day. Fantastic point away at a Premiership team. Great support and some big displays.
