Just seen Leeds linked with sadiki from USG not sure where he fits in that squad / system and I’ve thought the same of a few of their links
Fotmob has actually got a lot better data wise recently. Used to be useless but I think it’s a lot more reliable now and a lot of people are reporting based on fotmob data. Still not perfect
Players and staff will be coming back this week, well some will so we will new training gear and new players with scarfs
It has improved yeah, I still think they're a bit lenient with how they define certain things and the match ratings aren't great. But then again I don't really like any match rating engine - they can be useful to provide some context but not as a lone argument. If datamb wasn't pay walled I think it would be the go to.
It’s not a cheap pay wall either at €8 a month. I never pay attention to match rating but more game by game stats.
He said some not all, and it’s a new season in a new tougher league, loads of change and loads to get through. I’ll be happy if they don’t treat it as just another pre season. Get this right and we’ll have a good season. Put that in ya pipe.
Jacquet and Djaoui Cisse. Huge risks but would solve a lot of our gaps, especially the physicality we lack. Rennes have a bit of a financial problem as well don't they?
Im sure LoN will be there now if he could, I think some fringe players will start to go back to know their fate, think some will go just to get stuff ready for the masses come back
What’re you classing as a ‘good season’? 17th place would be absolutely unbelievable. A bigger achievement than promotion last season tbh
Rothwell and Guilvaogui have left the building, we want shot of Greenwood, Gyabi was out on loan and not cutting it, we have Tanaka, Ampadu and Gruev Sadiki is either being looked at to add depth or we’ll move Gruev on is my guess
Yeah a lot of French teams be willing/have to sell so you'll see all the really cheap reported fees this window to get teams initially interested. Salisu and Jacquet would be a good window in my eyes to cover CB, maybe you want someone more experienced over Jacquet but the sell on is there.
the likes of Poveda, Browne ( which is the incorrect version of the spelling) possibly Alesse, might be back for "light" trainig to ease them back, possibly contract talks, possibly more or less from next week onwards but I would think there are people at the AoL.. to welcome new signings...
Staying up is a good season but with good recruitment and the natural progression of the young squad I think we could be the surprise package and top 12 isn’t out of the question.
Christ, have I just seen the name Poveda? Hopefully he’s here to collect some stuff after being paid off.
