Think we could have a cracking team for the Championship. Sell Meslier, Koch, Kristensen, Harrison & Joffy...send McKennie back and let Forshaw go out to pasture Bring back Dan James & Llorente. Our younger players, who by the way are barely out if nappies, will get to play a a full season in a good team who'll likely win the League. Robles in goal. Ayling, Llorente, Cooper, Firpo in defence with Struijk & Cresswell as back up. Adams, Roca as holding midfielders with Greenwood as back up. Sumerville, Aaronson, Gnonto as wide attackers with Dan James and Tyler as cover. Bamford, Rutter up front, or Rodrigo if he'd stay. Don't forget we've still loads of decent younsters like Joseph, Perkins, Drameh and the new lad at the back. Jeez almost makes me want us to go down as we'd be promoted back up by xmas
Once you’ve had 3 seasons of PL money then you should be able to fund a decent attempt at getting straight back. Parachute money is front loaded as well these days so it’s better to go for broke and give it everything. That’s exactly what we’d do and whilst not ideal it would still make for an exciting season.
Firpo now wanted by top CL teams, so will be upsetting to some on here. Rutter is way too good to be loaned out and will make some on here eat their words
That’s why I didn’t reply to his post saying he’ll be having spare ribs, chips and egg fried rice that’s got to be another wind up I mean who has chips in a Chinese ffs
We’re not going down. It’s a mid table squad no longer being held back by a clown of a manager remember? All our players back. What could possibly go wrong? I think we’ll stay up
Now we have a tactically astute coach instead of clueless Ted’s chest thumping fist pumping ineptitude I make you right mukka
Are you suggesting Matt has a scurrilous clickbait agenda and isn’t always sincere in his arguments? That’s an outrage. Completely true, but an outrage nonetheless.
Which 'top' CL clubs would they be? I'm willing to have a seasons avatar bet that Firpo will never ever play for a 'top' CL club in a CL quarter final.
I do! Although, for me & the mates (we were teenagers), the chips were ammunition. You ate you dinner, then started chucking the chips over your shoulder at no-one in particular, whilst consuming inadvisable amounts of beer after the pubs were shut. It seems that many were like-minded, as we had some belting chip fights. Some of the basturds were still eating their grub, so you could expect not only hundreds of chips coming at you, but chips dripping with a variety of sauces. Somehow my mother never believed that my mate was such a messy eater.....
Well Firpo played in the CL Round of 16 in both 2020 and 2021 for Barcelona and made 10 CL appearances in total for them. Seems that's not good enough for you though and now he has to play in a Quarter Final to make the grade
I saw some discusion earlier in the week about haarland going on a dry spell and where does he fit in at citeh! Well he just answered all that. Creswell scored for the wall.
