Neil is definitely better than Torp, and arguably better than grimes. He can actually tackle and runDan Neil isn’t better than Grimes or Torp… Jack Taylor has been distinctly average in a v good setup. Neil improves them but not us.
We need a player like Matusiwa who is physical. I’d argue he was one of the key difference makers in both fixtures against us.
Holding us back from what? We just signed another player?Would love to know what our budget is. Do we reckon it’s purely wages holding us back?

Depends if you think we were ever in on those players - are we assuming that this signing precludes any more business now? Or do you think this is it?Competing for players with other teams and spending loads on this lad and Bassette and the like who will be cheap wages. We seem happy to spend on fees but not to compete on wages.

You’re tripping.Neil is definitely better than Torp, and arguably better than grimes. He can actually tackle and run
The fact we spent £8 million, pretty much our entire transfer budget for the season (seemingly) on two players who can't get in the team doesn't help. All this clamour for new signings, the chances of us signing anyone that forces their way into the starting lineup is slim. Sure, we can strengthen the squad and that helps, but can't see us spending the kind of money needed to bring in someone that goes straight in. We have what we have.
When you have 3 strikers in double figures for the season, that’s probably a constraint…Well it’s more looking at who we do go for. Drop £2m on Bassette and €5m on this lad and £5m on L1 players but won’t get Bamford in or whatever.
Mostly I’m genuinely curious what our constraints are.

This guy’s costing £5 million?! Hadn’t seen that…Well it’s more looking at who we do go for. Drop £2m on Bassette and €5m on this lad and £5m on L1 players but won’t get Bamford in or whatever.

I’ll reserve judgement for now but you’d think we have a plan for him and potentially other players.Eh?
edit: with you now. I suppose if it’s not down to Lampard but we’ve just spent €5m on a right winger when we’ve got two already. Would genuinely have made more sense to spend it on a LB at least. Just seems weird from the outside.
Torp's been great this season.Neil is definitely better than Torp, and arguably better than grimes. He can actually tackle and run
It’s just a ridiculous thing to say. Neil is a good player but 2 goals and 3 assists last season doesn’t necessarily strike me as being a huge game changer.Torp's been great this season.
I like Torp but he does get overrun at times.Torp's been great this season.
So does everybody with the way we play.I like Torp but he does get overrun at times.
It’s an intensity thing, for the first 50-60 minutes last night, he was good and won the ball high up the pitch. If we had a more physically dominant player than Allen, that’d suit the system v well.So does everybody with the way we play.
Yang is on the left. This guys on the right. Where we've got Sakamoto and Esse.Sending Yang back already?
Have you ever considered that it’s Sakamoto who’s probably falling down the pecking order?Strange one that, 3rd choice RW… obviously saving the big one until Monday
Jahnoah? No, I don't.Who???
Competing for players with other teams and spending loads on this lad and Bassette and the like who will be cheap wages. We seem happy to spend on fees but not to compete on wages.
Jesus you two. Do you ever stop moaning.
Do you know how entitled you sound ?
And emcYang is on the left. This guys on the right. Where we've got Sakamoto and Esse.
Sakamoto is great off the bench, he’s not dropping down to 3rd choice, and MVE isn’t the same when saka doesn’t play, they link up well,Have you ever considered that it’s Sakamoto who’s probably falling down the pecking order?
It’s quite funny because even when we brought Esse in, people were insisting it was competition for Sakamoto and until recently the idea that we was ‘arguably’ better than Esse…
Sakamoto is a cult hero, if you don’t like him, you have no heart. He’s been with the club a while and his numbers are consistently ‘above average’.
