I did actually think Simic was a bit older but will be 21 in September so a year +. He has played nearly 3 times as much 1st team football and not exactly scored for fun. We'll see who got the better deal
If it's like the home shirt I found bigger this season. Went for large and fits nicely whereas the tramline year shirt I went up a size to be comfortable for 5-a-side
Why are you being negative? Makes no sense comparing players who are at different points in their career, we did not need a finished article at twice the price, we needed a backup player to develop. Exactly what we got.
Impossible to tell but I'm sure the coaching and facilities at Man City are top notch, couple that with money no young player will turn it down.
Sucks for teams like us, I feel like there needs to be bigger sell ons attached to anyone poached from another academy
Foden, Rico Lewis both in the main squad
Then you have loads of players that have moved to good clubs like Cole Palmer, Callum Doyle, Liam Delap, Jadon Sancho, James Trafford... Even our own Elis Simms
Spot on.
We are building a squad, zero chance we have prioritized Bassette over midfielders or defender. We saw value and made our move. Totally happy with this approach
I don't sign up for the clamour to ship out Palmer.
He is not getting in the starting line up but he can still do stuff that nobody else in our squad can. He is a great option off the bench.
Secondary benefit is he is absolute perfect player to dispatch lower teams in cup competition.
23 is still young for a center back, bollocks to suggest otherwise.
If Dovin (22) is our number 1
Which ever combination of these you put infront of him we have a young backline.
Binks 22
Burroughs 23
Thomas 23
MvE 23
Kitching 24
Lati 24
Dasilva 26
Bidwell 31
I'd suggest writing them off...
Hate how people write young players off for a few mistakes. Bizarre behavior. Players like Thomas have shown their quality at times. all players at this level make errors, I back our coaches to improve him.
Would take an old head as an option in defense if the budget allows but I do feel like we can cut out lapses in concentration and we'd be ok.
I'd say a Sheaf back up would be higher priority
Bit of both.
1st goal we had plenty of chances to clear it but it took a jammy bounce off Simms shin to present them with the sight of goal.
2nd we were caught well out position as the cross came in. Lord knows why the Oxford player went for a header when a volley would have been more...
I love the Specials but the majority of their songs are too downbeat in tempo to make good pre-match, goal celebration tunes or turn into chants.
I like the idea of a message to you Rudi chant but it's not the right tempo to work
Frees*
*Obviously we won't talk about the fact the minimum most of those would want is 75k a week or the fact there is zero chance Matip, Ali or Gomez would move to the championship. Other than that great list 👍
