No Number 9!!!
are we expecting an arrival???

 

Hoping to I think !

Shows how light the squad is though.

 

A dose of reality from Robbo?

No number 13 either - or has that always been the case?

 

On and off I think .

Like 22 which was Abdi’s number .

 

How are these numbers decided upon? I can sort of understand why they don't include a number 13 but is the lack of a number 9 a sign of a desire to bring in a new forward? Is someone pencilled in as a number 9? Why is Adeyemo number 54? Could Bayo be clever and ask to be number 1001 and see who understands his choice?

 

I think some players can choose but generally be position of the player.

 

Adeyemo by choice. No idea why.
There are 10 types of people who understand binary...

 

Presumably - or hopefully - it's the number of goals he aims to score this season...

 

Will this guy ever end up here though?

 

Interview with Bayo in the WO if you can read it.

Feels like we haven't seen the best of him and seems to like Ismael but then isn't that said about every new manager we have had.

The headline had me sucked in for a while - "Teenage trio join Watford on loan"

Joining when he's 18? He looks at least 40 now.

 

It's actually Roger Milla on the comeback trail...

 

This is why I tend to stay away from football matches these days. Far too expensive - just a rip off in my opinion.

 

What happened to clubs agreeing a price cap or was that just after COVID?

 

Not another Kalu is it ?

Look at the mess that got us into .

 

I wonder how many of the 5 are still here ?



Maybe they knew they were on the way out or hoped to be ..

Doesn’t really matter what he does or says as unless Ismael starts better than Rob Edwards did which is very unlikely he will be out of the door .

 

Take your pick from those who have gone and then look at who is still here if you can't get five out of this lot -

Outs:

Pedro (Brighton)
Cleverly (Retired)
Ekong (PAOK - Greece)
Quina (Udinese)
Gasper (Contract cancelled)
Assombalonga (Released)
Cathcart (Released)
Bacuna (Released)
Hungbo (FC Nümberg)
Okoye (Udinese)
Sarr (Marseille)
Kabasele (Udinese)
Flecher (Wednesday - Loan)
Gosling - ?
Ferreira (Udinese)

I can't imagine Cathcart, Cleverley or Kabasele were in the five & Gosling/Assombalonga/Bacuna had each already gone really.

I'd say Quina, Okoye and Fletcher were racing certainties to have been three of the five - and possibly Ferreira, which could explain his unexpected departure.

 

I wonder if Sarr was one? He seemed to have made it clear he wanted to be away.
