Is he definitely better than Eccles and Torp? I’m not sure. Helps the squad for sure, but I think there’s a decent chance we have another JDS situation on our hands.

Browne looks a decent pick up on a free, and will add much needed experience to the squad. Would have some serious question marks on whether he’d improve our starting XI though. And with that I’d be slightly concerned he’s on a long deal with big wages.

Think we probably want Southampton to go up. Leeds will have more challenges financially, lots of players out on loan they need to deal with, and you'd think Summerville and Gnonto will push to leave. We need to nail this transfer window, and we need everyone to step on again. The potential is...

They and he have to cash their chips now. Nowhere to go from here, only down.

That’s life. He deserves a go at the PL, should the right offer come in. Let’s get 4-5 quality players through the door and see how we do.

He’s agile though, quick to turn and over 5 yards.

I think prudent to not waste money on loans if we thought this year was a transition year (albeit we got a lot closer than I'm sure most thought). However it can't be the long-term play, to get up we will need 3 or 4 quality loans that are contributing. I can't think of many sides (aside from...

Personally think O'Hare will make the grade in the PL. His running is absolutely elite, and he can play as well. In some of the big games this season he's shown his game is up to it. Will fit in well in a side that want to press.

Would be mine too. O’Hare, Sakamoto made huge contributions but not played enough. Bidwell, Eccles honourable mentions

Hope Gus clatters him tonight

Jesus wept some absolute tools on this forum, analysing his reaction to a missed penalty. O’Hare showed what a good player he is on Sunday. We’ll miss him.

What are you arguing with? Premier League miles clear in the UEFA coefficient which measures performance in Europe over the past 5 years. More winners of the PL in the last decade than La Liga, Ligue une, bundesliga, and the same as Serie A (who prior to that had Juve winning 8 in a row)...

Because very few English sides take it seriously when they’re involved. Plus I’m not arguing that it’s been stronger for the last 20 years but it has for the last 6-7 years. The Spanish league was undeniably better in the peak Ronaldo-Messi era. My original point was that the Premier League...

I cba to argue. It’s very mainstream and accepted that the PL is a more competitive league with stronger teams than others in Europe.

Historically it has been (look at Bayern, PSG, Juventus, Madrid/Barce) and mid table PL clubs far stronger than their counterparts in other leagues. Hence more competitive.

But the PL can decide, and they're top dog. Why change a model that works. The PL success, in part, came from (relative to football) equity in terms of revenue splits, all sides received a similar amount of broadcast money. Whereas in Spain and Italy it was and still is disproportionately...

Sums up my fear. However you hope for the unlikely, and we could create something special. Robins remains a very unique factor in our football club.

There are no doubt some owners who would want that, but it would be madness for the PL to consider that. Moreover the PL hold all the cards, so why they would deviate from the status quo I don't know.

Is interesting, and I do think there's a good chance it ends in misery. However, loads of PL sides now have been where we are; Palace, Brentford, Wolves, Bournemouth, Brighton, Forest, Fulham - and they've all done brilliant things (bar Forest, actually).

What a weird thread, don't know anyone who wouldn't turn over at that point.
