Just like my midfielders to be able to pass and think we’ve got enough trampoline feet in the squad as it is.

We also need midfielders who can chase/tackle/intercept to enable the passers to get into better positions to make passes. Rather than Grimes picking the ball up as a third centre back.

The reports from Brentford aren't exactly glowing but football fans and hyperbole go hand in hand. His stats from Augsburg look alright.

His stats from the 23/24 season had him amongst the best ball winners in the Prem too.

Brentford fans will also be comparing his ball playing ability to actual established PL players. We ain’t that yet, he’ll be fine.

No chance. If Grimes is ever dropped, Onyeka would play there.

Well I’d play Eccles slightly deeper

I definitely think onyeka starts against boro

Remember what a revelation Carlton Palmer was when he signed, brought the absolute best out of McAllister. Obviously different systems and circumstances but the fundamental role will be the same.

If we sign him, as well as remove permit for our defence to bomb forward when they really don’t need to, it could work out.

Really good listen on Quickly Kevin and Undr the Cosh. Probably one of my favourite pod episodes.

Despite the unfortunate accent!

Transfer: Coventry City reach agreement with Brentford to sign Onyeka on loan

Nigeria international, Frank Onyeka has agreed a loan move to Coventry City, DAILY POST reports. Onyeka has pushed to leave Premier League club, Brentford
dailypost.ng

At last. Phew!

I know the Brentford fans think he can't pass but I don't think that is the end of the world.

He needs to keep reasonably close to Eccles or Grimes and just play a short, simple pass when he wins possession.

For me as long as he is match fit and he’s just come off the back of a tournament then he plays Saturday

He's fine at passing the ball, mighty not be at a level you'd expect at a top 7 PL club but more than good enough for us

Id happily see him get a run at LB but Lampard is a proper round peg, round hole manager. Hopefully there's the time and will to get another one in.
