As you'd expect. I do feel confident about his leadership qualities.

The last thing we need is a player living off his past reputation who no longer takes his football seriously.

But your not suggesting Barkley your suggesting a player that has had one good half season in 4-5 years.

Lingard is playing in the K-League, the standard is lower than the championship.

Barkley was a Prem player joining a Prem team.

It is still exciting to a point I think, it's the Schroedinger's cat of football.

Still exciting. One club's average could be another club's Gyokeres. If they sign then brilliant. If they don't then brilliant as they weren't what we needed or wanted, or it was purely for fitness, squad rotation etc

Unless there are replacements (who are upgrades) waiting in the wings, then all offers should he rebuffed. We're on the brink of a momentous achievement, and doing it in great style, why on earth risk that?

That can't be right. You can get odds of between 25 and 33/1 for a Brentford relegation.

Statistically, the likelihood is that we’ll both be in the Prem. Brentford are 7 points above the relegation zone so they’re not exactly safe. It’s unlikely they go down because you’ve got Wolves, West Ham, Burnley and Leeds that look more likely to get relegated.

Back to Cov, the bookies will give you 1/5 for us to win the league and 1/25 to get promoted and won’t even take your money to bet on making the playoffs. At this point, the likelihood of promotion is 90% and above. Given Lampard has managed 46 games and managed 92 points, it’s just not likely we’re going to fall off that badly.

Don’t know if it’s been mentioned here, but have seen it elsewhere, Joeseph McCallum, one of our U21 lads, has been on trial at Chelsea this week and was on the bench for their U21’s fixture versus PSG.

It’s been discussed a lot because he apparently signed pro terms last year with us yet seems to have been nicked for free? Als the offal still had him as a city player.

Have you got a link so I can update the contract thread? Not that I don’t believe you just how I do things.

If the right player comes along the club will invest. But Doug is trying to do business in private and professional way and agents want to do business in public to create interest. Both parties want the best deal so its not an easy thing to do. But im sure Doug is working on many deals including extending some of our current squad.

There's so much contradictory information out there. Some sites state he's a Chelsea player.

You can go on Trial at a club if you play for another if your club allows you to.

If he did sign pro terms if he is under contract they will have to agree a transfer with us.

I agree, but i haven't seen or heard anything that Doug wouldn't back him or invest in the right player.

Manneh very central in a lot of these clips, looks like competition for Rudoni more than anything, although its good if he's versatile and can go wide too of course. Makes sense we are in for some mystery Championship winger too if @Jimmy87 is to be believed.
Click to expand...
Not sure what is happening with that Manneh. There was a lot of chatter, then it all went quiet. Not that there's necessarily anything to read into. That profile of player we could do with though. Still don't know who the Championship club is that we made an enquiry with.
