CM is probably the last place where an upgrade is needed - but I'd take him Would surely mean one of Eccles/Allen is off

Think it was 4 summers ago

Yeah he needs to have a bit of a stormer this season to get in - which benefits us Not a great start though with another pre-season missed (3rd in a row he hasn't had a full pre-season). It usually takes him a while to get going

Think their owners came out and said their priority is getting Watford back in to the Premier League (as its where all the money is) when previously Udinese has been the priority

I know we were 2-0 down but I don't think the gap was crazy in the first half with our first-choice midfield - we played some good stuff, although we couldn't create anything Our second choice midfield however got rolled over and couldn't cope at all (to be expected when we were in more of a...

Betis will be a similar test - fans will help though I think the fitness levels of the Monaco players will really Lampard drive home his point. We have a lot of players with desires to play in the Prem - games like this will help them realise the levels they need to reach if they want to make...

For the record I wasn't saying we can replicate the Brighton/Brentford model at all - just giving an example of how selling your best players doesn't mean you have to 'burn' a season / get worse Unless you're in the Champions League everyone in the pyramid has to try to trade up - but if you're...

Makes sense. The 6m is obviously bollocks Think it’s the perfect move if we can get it done tbh

Yeah I think Collins not getting any minutes does point to us getting a GK in. If he was definitely 2nd choice going into the season he'd have got a half in the 2 games

Surely he would have played Binks if he was available/in his plans Every other available first team player from last season is getting minutes - including 3 LBs

People are taking the piss. Nobody actually cares

On a more serious note - no Rapha & Binks… Whats going on there?

Hull will be licking their lips after that

The key is the replacements. Brentford lost their 2 best players (Watkins & Benrahma) and still got promoted - they didn't burn or lose a season Clearly our replacements fell through and we had to get Ayari. We were still pushing for Swift on deadline day IIRC (glad we missed out) Was also the...

JDS is not a Phil Parkinson player

They've got Bogle who is a better RB - unless they want MvE for depth (I doubt he'd want that) I don't see it

Surprised we haven't seen any solid links for MvE - would expect more noise at this stage There were rumours of Fulham but they've retained Tete - so I reckon they've gone cold Only team in real need in the Prem is Everton as they tried and failed to sign Tete. Galatasaray might renew their...

Quite like the design. My big issue with Hummel is that the quality won't do the design justice

A lot of flux in the other 11 at the minute: - Everton: hardly any players - Wolves: lost Cunha/Ait Nori - Brentford: lost manager & losing Mbuemo/Norgaard, interest in Wissa - Forest*: lost Gibbs-White/Elanga - Bournemouth: lost Huijsen/Kerkez, interest in Zabarnyi - West Ham: shite & lost...

We'll definitely be looking to shift a striker to get in a winger IMO For all the "options" people are adding as our depth on the wing - only 2 of them (3 if Rapha comes good but feels unlikely) actually play the role how Lampard wants & both have had injury issues in January we signed...
