My mate who works at Walsgrave Hospital has messaged me saying that Brekalo is currently sitting in A&E, posing for photos and smiling apparently. Lets hope he gets seen before 11pm.

Long term back line of Kitching, Brekalo and Thomas sounds decent although i would be amazed if we dropped that kind of money on 2 CBs in 1 season.

tbf I didn't expect us to spunk £10mil+ on two forwards.

If he gets seen at 11.10 I'm blaming King's CWR appearance

What's his problem ? Circumcision or potential big toe in need of nail clipping ?

His biggest problem is he's a mate of Greggs!

Seems odd to me. Surely a pre-signing medical would be done privately, not in A&E at Walsgrave? Perhaps he did his ACL getting off the plane

Given the usual waiting time in A&E the transfer deadline will have long passed by the time he's seen.

I hope it's true because I think I would rather have him than Kitching. With his international experience he has certainly proven himself at a higher level.

Interesting how many CBs do we need however? Binks, Kitching (LCB) McFaz, Thomas (CCB) and Thomas, Lati (RCB). I am not sure many clubs even at the very top of the game who play 3 CBs have six credible starting players trying to take 3 places. Only rationale that makes would be If Robins this this guy is much better than what we have or think McFaz might move into a coaching role at the end of the season. To me he is still our most consistent CB, currently.

By January either McF will be getting phased out or we can just send Binks back to Italy

The thing is, Fadz is still fantastic. Age is just a number, and as long as he's good enough he's young enough.

Getting McF and Kelly their coaching badges would be the stuff of FM dreams to be fair.

Why can they coach ?

I’m not a fan of sentiment appointments on to coaching staff ….

If they are the best we can get then fine, but if not choose the better options …:

If they are going down that line and well suited they would already have their coaching badges.

It’s not clear.

both good organisers and leaders on the pitch but how analytical they are about the game I have no idea. I’ve never heard them dissect a match particularly insightfully.

McF in particular has made a measurable improvement to his defensive partners over the last few seasons, especially last. Suggests to me he'd have an aptitude for defensive coaching specifically.

Agree. Next season he'll be in the Premier League with the rest of the club. Can retire at the top then

Notice one of the 169 accounts they follow on Instagram is Denis Dragus so would suspect there might be some link with our scouting network. Wonder whether they may also represent our European midfield target.

I suspect the moment we got some cash there were agents from across europe offering our scouting network all sorts of players! The fact they follow us could just be a PR thing on their part.

Thing is neither Fadz or Kelly are that old really, they may be getting past it for the level we are at now but they could both play for 2-3 more years lower down the league or abroad.

I quite like the idea of Fadz going to Saudi and making some very expensive players look like mugs.
