Ayari shown today that he can play in that ‘8’ role. He did have some really classy moments on the ball.

Thomas was only at fault for 3rd and final goal. Lati got beat for their first and for the second goal, we got caught out when McFadz pressed way beyond his position causing Lati and Thomas to collapse in to give Martins the space needed. A like for like situation happened where two players...

McFadz was suspect for that goal, rushed up, caught in no man’s land and the rest of the defence is covering him. Great finish from Martins.

We’ve been the better team and now we’ve pegged this one back, this game is winnable. Wright is having a bit of a break out game, just needs that final touch. Likewise with Palmer. Shout out to van Ewjik too! Really positive performance and a great free kick. MOTM so far is Sheaf, he’s been...

Probably just player numbers there. You could see Wilson’s 13 and Allen’s 8 in the background when he was doing his photoshoot.

I wouldn’t put it past Robins to start Lati in midfield after the international break. The most likely candidate to miss out would be Eccles. We’ve got options, we can play 3-4-1-2, 3-4-2-1 or even 5-3-2. It does seem Ayari is viewed as a player who can play CM as well as AM. I’d have liked...

Overall, it’s fair to say that the consensus on here is that we got good value for both Hamer and Gyokeres. Two big losses for sure. From Kitching’s interview, we made contact with him shortly after Wembley. It’s clear he’s had his head turned, Barnsley fans feel that and with some bad...

Just as we thought the same about Gyokeres and Hamer. Pragmatically, we accepted we were likely to lose them and wanted to extract the most value for the pair.

Wright was £7.7m. It’s good to see we’ve invested so much this window, overall I’d say it’s a 8/10 window. In terms of improving the squad in the long term, we’d be looking at: - 1 CB - 1 RWB - 1-2 CMs - 1 striker Bearing in mind we lost Hamer and Gyokeres in the same window, that’s an...

Until Jan

Agreed, which is why I think all the promoted teams will get relegated this season. I back Dyche to keep Everton up (somehow) over Burnley. I do think had we got promoted and kept Hamer & Gyokeres, we may have been able to build a really good team around them to have a fighting chance...

Is there still a loan window outside of the transfer window? I’m sure it was scrapped but I’m not 100% sure.

I don't think we'd have coped with Maguire or Walker upfront...

It's not a choice in the way you present it. We have a target in mind and a maximum value we're willing to pay. Clearly Kitching is someone the club has identified as being a good fit for the club and believe will be worth more than what we're willing pay for him. If that figure is £5m, but...

We’re not keeping a back 5 because of McFadz… The box did us fine last season and the squad is overall in a better place. We currently lack the star quality, particularly in midfield.

Us getting €24 million for Gyokeres and £15m for Hamer in the last year of their contract probably distorted the market a little bit too. Patience is key here. If we have to use the loan market as a stop gap, so be it.

I wasn’t bothered when Gyokeres left because I’d accepted he was going to leave. Football get sour grapes, ‘he’s not that good anyway’ over players all the time. He’s 23, if Robins & co believe he’s a future premier league player, overpaying slightly is not the end of the world. I remember...

With all due respect to just about everyone on here… what do we know about footballers we’ve barely seen play? I include myself in that - never heard of Brekalo and seen Kitching play one game last season. Most of our opinions are subjective and frankly, we’re amateurs. Compare that with our...

This tweeter has 8 followers… what credibility does he have? Not taking it as gospel, but if his agent is following CCFC on instagram, that’s something…

Ayari played in the 10 role for 30m. I’m sure he will be play games deeper as the season progresses. Allen and Hamer both had stints at AM and CM as and when required.
