I would like that move but I still think it is pretty far fetched. If any other club came in for him, I'd doubt he'd be coming here as he's a Small Heath fan.
-
Will definitely be interested to see how they play against the non top-6. They will dominate the game possession wise, but they could be very exposed against counter attacking teams (like Wolves)
-
I keep seeing people saying we should go in for Rico Henry at LB. There'd be almost 0 chance he'd come here.
-
Not sure why he’d come out with that statement if he was on his way out. Which then makes it worse if the club is trying to sell him. Why would he agree to go after that?
-
so you think we will lose because of the coach only and not the 11 players on the pitch? hmmm (I agree that tactics will be highly influential but we can't go around saying that we will lose automatically because of the coach)
-
they are absolutely lucky that there are no fans allowed. Would imagine that the atmosphere would've been at toxic levels
-
will be very interested to see how they fare against teams who tend to sit back more than a team like Liverpool. Don't think they will get relegated, but I can definitely see shades of Blackpool back in 09/10 (i think)
-
good thing they already have Clipper as a sponsor
-
this is very reminiscent of the Watford Liverpool game right before lockdown
-
I was just trying to think about this and I genuinely can't figure out anyone else.
-
that will be very interesting. tough test
-
VAR doing it's job already.
-
Second game back and VAR is already looking better than it did last year. Giving the refs the directive to go to the pitch side monitor
-
how long has he been at Arsenal? will he count as a home grown player?
-
even though that could possibly turn out true, we can't just compare a season where one was in one of the best teams in a weaker league vs being in one of the weaker teams in a far stronger league. All that said, if we are looking at another center back I think we should be looking for a clear upgrade on Konsa of which Axel is not.
-
also a sneaking suspicion I have is that we shouldn't move on from both Nyland & Kalinic. Even though both are going to be surplus, the reality is we will be bringing in a new #1. but then both of our backups suffered season ending injuries last year which led us to an emergency cover signing in Reina — and we've had bad luck with long term keeper injuries recently. I also am not particularly confident if Sinisalo in that case as the senior backup. nothing more than a suspicion but feel like it might be prudent
-
yeah I can't say I understand some of these. No reason for us to sell Guilbert imo, he's good enough to push Cash for a starting spot plus said he was happy here. I'd use the same reasoning for Nakamba and Engels, in that we would then have to buy players to come in for them while selling them. We don't have another Nakamba type player in the squad (if we're shifting Luiz around in midfield) and selling Engels would leave with only 3 senior center backs, of which one is very poor with his passing. Could make similar reasoning for not selling Samatta as well.

Guessing this might be the way forward to watch unless we face another PL U-21/23 side
-
I have a sneaking feeling that if we get off to a poor start, Dean will be under a lot of pressure. Most of the links we have are with players he's coached or tried to sign before (in the championship). I keep coming back to a fear of mine that Smith is one of, if not the least, attractive manager for potential signings in the Premier League. I still have faith in him for this season, but I think that might drastically change by the end of the transfer window
-
NBC will have the select games on the usual channels (e.g. NBCSN, 12:30 on NBC etc). The "non-televised" games will be on Peacock instead of NBC Gold. I believe with peacock you will be given the playback feature. Not sure if they are planning on something similar to what happened over the summer where the games were on the Peacock 'free' option
-
Probably unrealistic, but he would be absolutely a great signing imo.
-
the problem is then forcing ourselves into the ridiculously overpriced English market. And then we still don't know if the players will be able to translate from the C'ship to the PL.
-
He would be a very underwhelming signing for me. Is he better than Davis/Samatta, yes (but Davis brings a different type of link up to us which otherwise we don't have in the squad which I think is a massive issue). Would be like akin to when we signed Darren Bent except Bent had multiple PL seasons with 10+ goals. Wilson only has 1.

palace is the one i'm really looking at
