Just read reports saying Pope could be leaving in which case we should be getting Marma!! No excuses.
Interesting that Dubz hasn't gone with the squad to Australia. Will he be leaving us in the summer? The other senior players not travelling all have reasons given (Schar to prep for Euros, while Longstaff / Gordon / Tino / Willock / Botman all having treatment). But no reference given as to why Dubz (or Karius) not going.
Mamardashvili rumours hotting up and Valencia have signed a GK now so he is probably on his way: https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1792918217880445397 Would be an immense signing. Kelly and Tosin also sounds likely - that would be the three at the back needed for £35m (+ agents fees etc). If we could go and grab a RW who (like Gordon) could cover up top I'd be really pleased with that as a squad as long as none of the big names are on the way out and if they are need to be replaced like for like.
In other news Lewis Hall a player people were saying was a mistake has win player of the month. Good for him.. quality player.
