All well & good here. Pretty quiet on here these days. Seems we don't have much to moan about when we're winning. If it wasn't for Wakey ....

...as far as keepers go there is only one for me and thats Sergio Romero who we can get from Man Utd free/cheap. 6 caps for Argentina and only 33yo. He would be the starter but able to improve Meslier and bring him on. Romero is better than Henderson and De Gea and so now sick of being overlooked after the season he had last year doing much better than De Gea. So is basically on a go slow to get a move.

Best strikers for me in the Prem were Viduka and Yeboah

Romero wants to leave Man Utd because he doesn't get to play. Hardly someone who'll be happy to sit on the bench for us. Seriously, there's not many decent 'keepers who'll be happy to sign as a No2.

Your No2 'keeper should be an up-and-coming prospect - and actually Meslier fits the bill quite well.
I always liked Butland and thinks he's better than warming the bench for Palace

Agree with you on Viduka and Yeboah as best Prem strikers. IMO best of all time would be Yeboah and Charles.

Ahaha

Football 365 have just published their manager of the year so far list, looking at all 22 managers as Fwank and Billic are also included, and based upon results and entertainment, Top 5 are:
  1. Pep
  2. Moyes
  3. OGS
  4. Rodgers
  5. Bielsa
So Klopp, Tommy 2 coats and the Italian at Everton all blown away
5) Marcelo Bielsa (Leeds)
Leeds’ return to the Premier League has been one of the most flat-out joyous things in recent years. Would’ve seemed very unlikely before Bielsa took over. There is understandably some sniffiness about the Bielsa love-in that has gripped the press over recent months, but it’s not hard to see why Leeds are a neutral’s favourite. When they’re good they’re very good and when they’re bad they’re a shambles. There has been no more watchable side, for good or bad, in the Premier League this season going right back to that opening-night nonsense against Liverpool. It’s a hell of an achievement for a newly promoted side and yes some other teams might have ‘better records’ and ‘more points’. Fine, if that’s your thing. But Leeds are the most fun, and that’s worth something. Specifically, fifth place in this list.

Interestingly, under the new post-Brexit employment guidelines, neither Bielsa or Solskjaer who get a work permit now.

Should go back and recheck mate because Bielsa walks in as being an International manager and an olympic champion, who also has coaching schools in various countries

Its now much more straightforward bringing overseas players in too and easier in most cases as I explained in a post a f ew weeks ago in one of the Weekend threads

Meslier stays as No'1 for me.

If you relegate him back to No'2 now he'd be quite within his rights to think fook you when it comes to renewing his contract. This lad is the real deal and should be our keeper for the next decade.

However, we definitely need better back up in case of injury or suspension.

Agree. We've got a gem here, so let's keep him. If we can't get rid of Kiko, then we should keep him. He'll do for the League Cup, cover etc.

It's always tricky with back up keepers.

They're never going to play, so how much does a club invest in the wage thief sitting on the bench week after week. Kiko could probably handle the odd game but if Meslier picked up a serious injury then we'd be in the doo-doo.

Well if you want to buy players who haven't won the league or haven't won a cup or got very high in the league or progressed in the cup. Haven't played in a European type competition, Haven't played for their country. Then the players are shyte and dont deserve a work permit, end of. Otherwise its easier and the points allocated are easier to get.

"Under post-Brexit immigration guidelines adopted by the FA and Home Office last month, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Marcelo Bielsa would have been denied permission to work in this country at the time they were appointed by Manchester United and Leeds respectively..."
