Why would they do that? If we’re even entertaining the idea of flipping him back to Turkey (and we should be imo) then a hefty discount is inevitable

It’s similar to the times that people suggested we get back Bayliss or McNulty when they struggled at a higher level.

If Fenerbache offered £6 million for him in January, is anyone saying no?

Wolves vs Chelsea moved from Saturday Dec 23rd at 3pm, to Christmas Eve at 1pm for TV coverage. Some fan groups are up in arms about it. Thoughts?

SHOOOOOOOOOOOT

He made more passes last night than any player on the pitch bar Sheaf, and only Eccles had a higher pass accuracy rate in our midfield. He also put in more accurate crosses than anyone else on the pitch. I thought he went to pieces defensively in the second half, but his passing was generally...

Train tickets booked FML 🙃

Apparently just having someone other than Eccles take corners will mean we score three or four extra goals per game, pretty simple really

No, it was definitely bad away from home as well. Claiming otherwise is just “Bah gum it were better in my day” snobbery.

Funny, I remember the atmosphere in L1 and L2 being total shit. Maybe it’s the old guard of fans rather than the new ones who were the problem all along?

You don’t fret about the garbage if you unearth diamonds worth £35 million at the same time. Remains to be seen whether Dean Austin is capable of the same.

Doesn’t matter anyway - we had multiple chances that were equal to or better than Rotherham’s chances, that’s what we’re discussing here.

Looking at our first half approach to shots on goal last night, the SHOOOOOOOT crowd really got a masterclass

It is, but that wasn’t the case last night - go and have a look for yourself, rather than just making stuff up https://www.fotmob.com/en-GB/matches/rotherham-vs-coventry/2bwqjz

We had an xG of 2.12, to Rotherham’s 1.36. Doesn’t change the result of course, but you’re just making things up at this point.

Supposedly Doug vetoed the signing because he didn’t believe he had any resale value, which makes me wonder - how much does Doug think Haji Wright will one day be sold for?

Playing him in the Eccles role would see us ship four or five goals. He clearly needs to play deeper than his current role to make an impact, but that’s going to require a big change in the formation and I frankly don’t think he’s worth it at the moment.

We have far bigger problems than our corners, and I find the hysteria about them the last couple of games to be a bit weird tbh

Oh I totally agree there. I do think people underestimated the difficulty of replacing both Gyokeres and Hamer - once we sold the latter I basically gave up on the playoff campaign that we seemed to be gearing up for. But I’m still disappointed with how things have gone since then.

We’ve made a net profit on transfers. Someone who cashes in on two Lamborghinis, replaces them with a fleet of Fiat Puntos and banks the rest of the money isn’t generally considered to be a big spender. That’s not the same as saying the Puntos are great cars, or that we didn’t overpay for them...
