    25/26 January Transfer Window

    It’s important to note that even Gyokeres had a 10 game goalless streak in 22/23 and even Piroe last season only score 4 goals in the final 12 games - all of whom against Stoke after a 9 game drought in a free scoring Leeds side. It’s only the players scoring 25+ goals in a season who don’t...

    Is Norwich sold out?

    I’ve not got anything planned this month and the days need to be used so may as well burn them on this game. Norwich is a one of the fewer away days I look forward to. There’s not a lot going on and you usually have to drive/get the coach so you don’t make a day out of it like you would to...

    Transfer Rumour Romain Esse

    He said ‘not yet’ so they’re probably waiting on one or two details.

    It was a great goal, has he had run where he’s strung together top performances and goal contributions? Not yet because he’s not been 100%.

    Transfer Rumour Bassette to Kaiserslautern

    Even BTA, in the massive thread over the summer when people were crying about needing a striker, we had 3 good scorers on the books. Haji is a streaky goalscorer so I could see the logic in Lampard putting him back in. I genuinely think when Haji scores, he’ll go on a 3-4 game run of scoring...

    Viveash was also a big fan of his too and he’s coached elite talent so knows what he’s talking about. When the facts change, I’m happy to change my opinion and frankly, when Eccles starts scoring and assisting goals, he becomes an 8/10 a week player rather than a 7/10 which is how I described...

    Transfer Rumour Bassette to Kaiserslautern

    Is that minutes per goal? In the summer when I was scrapping it out with other posters on Simms I had worked it was roughly 1 in 2-2.5 if you go on minutes per goal. Which granted, isn’t flawless but when you’re dealing with a player limited to 10-20m per game, it’s reasonably fair. Looking at...

    Is Norwich sold out?

    This isn’t an easy game to get to even on a Saturday. I’ve got 2 days annual leave to burn before the end of this month so will be taking AL for it. Surely this is year we win away at Norwich… 😂

    Transfer Rumour Yang Min-hyeok

    You’d love for it to be true because it’s romantic and a great narrative going into the Prem. Unfortunately, it’s a pipe dream. Oh really? I had never seen an explanation for it but it was the kit when Ostigard was on loan so that makes sense now if it’s true. I was already a fan of Haaland so...

    Transfer Rumour Yang Min-hyeok

    Interesting! That said it does seem Maddison has been getting some of the Tottenham boys into Cov. Son supporting Cov is funny and for me it’s only topped by Haaland being pictured in a Cov shirt… no idea why he was wearing on (same with Rob Beckett).

    My own opinion is that Lampard telling Eccles he can be better suited as an advanced midfielder has made him think about his game differently and presumably he’s been coached to play in that role. I’ve been sceptical of Eccles in the past but it was always apparent he did have moments of great...

    Transfer Rumour Bassette to Kaiserslautern

    Good luck to your club and a weekly report would be most welcome. I have a soft spot for Kaiserslautern and even have a scarf given to me by a university friend! Admittedly, I've not kept as up to date in recent seasons and at some point I need to go to a game! Hoping you return to the...

    Transfer Rumour Bassette to Kaiserslautern

    He's the opposite to Simms in a lot of ways. However, Simms' movement in the box is fantastic and even his greatest critic cannot deny that and that's why he's a career 1 in 3 striker.

    25/26 January Transfer Window

    This window is somewhat different. If we're signing players permanently, the club needs to believe they can make the step up to the Prem. Signing players on loan is a different kettle of fish, these are players that can contribute right now to get us over the line. When Ipswich signed Keiffer...

    That’s what rotation option means… I can’t imagine we’ve promised Spurs he’ll start for us.

    25/26 January Transfer Window

    Esse would 100% start for us, miles better than Sakamoto. YMK would be a rotation option. With the latter, he’s only played 15/25 games so that’s where Spurs’ frustration lies rather than the minutes.

    25/26 January Transfer Window

    His goals have been v important and it’s something he’d not really done under Robins. I can’t recall him scoring outside of the box in 22/23 or 23/24 (maybe Birmingham at home in 22/23) but under Lampard he’s kicked on. I do think Torp and Rudoni are better players, but it’s a squad game and...

    I don’t think Sakamoto is run down, his stats are pretty consistent from 23/24, 24/25 and 25/26. His attacking stats this season are strong than last season but slightly less than 23/24 (smallest sample). In conclusion, his numbers aren’t as good as you think.

    25/26 January Transfer Window

    His attacking has always been pretty average, the reliance on MVE’s overlapping runs has been there hence MVE consistently has a higher xA and chances created. His prowess has always been his crossing and his long balls which works when defences aren’t set with 10 men behind the ball. Conducive...

    Pretty sure Robins mentioned it in an interview once back in 2023/24 iirc.
