How will we ever know if he’s good enough if Robins doesn’t give him a chance?

Proof of funds

17 billion?!

I was dubious about the takeover before, but now I’m hearing that Doug King may have actually been at our last two games? Takeover has to be on surely, you don’t just throw away £50 like that unless you’re deadly serious. And think of the supporter points!

With our squad depth as it is, and with our finances what they are, it would be insane to spend what little money we have on another keeper in January. It’s the least important position on the pitch, which is why we’ve been able to get away with playing Coco the Clown there for most of this season.

Here’s the full list of our current backup options across the entire squad: GK - Moore RWB - Dabo, Kane LWB - no-one CB - no-one DM - Kelly AM - no-one ST - Waghorn, Tavares I think top two will be a stretch

No point questioning stuff like this - as I’ve always said, you can’t reason people out of positions they didn’t reason themselves into.

Can’t wait to still be here in spring 2045, when we’re losing 3-0 to Robot FC in the International Championship Super League, reading post after post saying that we need to bring on Tav to make runs at those tired legs and we’ll never know if he’s good enough until Robins gives him a chance.

I’m saying that if well-known, internationally recognised groups like CBRE and Warwick University can sign on to obvious tosh like our last two new stadium projects without suffering major reputational damage, then comparative nobodies like Doug King certainly have nothing to fear about soiling...

I’m saying that football routinely attracts no-marks who turn up in the directors box, make some noises that get the fans going, then either disappear without trace or fuck everything up before leaving in disgrace.

Exactly - it would be like CBRE or Warwick University signing on to a new stadium announcement that was never going to happen. You don’t just mess around with Doug King’s reputation like that.

Because after New Years Day, we don’t have any league games until Jan 14th. At least, that’s what my sources tell me.

We pursued Bright because we couldn't afford anyone else, Twine included. And you usually get what you pay for.

1) He took almost three months to come back 2) He’s played 11 times since coming back so was presumably as match fit as could be 3) Considering his playing style he’s been pretty lucky with injuries in his time with us up to now

Based on what? He first got injured back in August, how much more time did he need?

Shouldn’t even be a debate. I certainly don’t see Pep putting in a bid for Panzo next month anyway.

Doyle has all the attributes to become a top class CB. Panzo is technically gifted and physical but often seems to have no football brain whatsoever.

There are people who get annoyed about commentators continually referencing Lionel Messi, so I’m not sure why it’s so out of line for me to be irritated about people banging on about Fabio Tavares.

Not for some on here it isn’t - apparently Tavares is the answer.
