Quite a mixed bag of comments concerning Dajaku , bottom line as far as I’m concerned is that the bar has been raised and to get in to the side you have to be a lot better and producing on a regular basis . The same is true of Matete who has a similar mixed bag of comments and has also gone out on loan , as the club progresses it will put a lot of players under pressure and ultimately it will be the Manager who decides who goes in to the team . Going out on loan can help in some cases with a change of environment bringing about improvement or in some cases putting them in the shop window for possible moves . Wish both of them the best of luck and would be delighted to see them return better players .
Spot on mate
 
Michut will be the same. Once the gametime comes and he gets some confidence. Him and Xavi Simons were head and shoulders above the rest of PSG’s youth last few years. Both left to chase first team football, Simons is getting it at PSV admittedly in a league that’s not the best but he’s been on fire in the Europa league too. Just needs a chance to figure out our system and get himself in there.

He’s an 8 or a 10, he doesn’t need to be huge.
Well I think we are about to find out cos I can see him getting a lot of game time let’s hope he steps up and grabs his chance to shine

I thought Ekwah and Neil with Michut more advanced would’ve been a shout but that’ll be out the window with Geldhart here. I’d imagine he’ll play behind Stewart with Diallo right then Roberts or Clarke left leaving a 2 in the middle which will be Neil and another. Unless Neil’s going as the 6 I’m not sure I’d take Michut there. I was only saying about a week ago on here I want a big holding midfielder next, so I’d have to give Ekwah a go in there! Round pegs and all that. I’m sure a few of them will get a go in there, got 5 games in about 13 days in February. Genuinely mad that I can’t see any way for Pritchard to get back into the team as much as TM loves him.
 
Random thing to throw in here. Patterson got a lot of flack previously for not being authoritative. But I've just seen a stat that he is ranked third in the division for claiming crosses (in terms of percentage of crosses caught)

I mentioned corners, and I might be wrong here but I don’t think corners count as crosses (stupid I know). I might be wrong though!
 
When you think of the individual talent we have in our squad now, it's hard not to believe we have a real big opportunity to get promoted this season. Look at the teams around us from 3rd place down. How many can boast a squad of players like us?
 
I would love to know what all your opinions are of Michut.
As far as I know (which isn't much) there is a deal where at the end of the season we will have to pay around £4m to sign him on permanent. I have read the mags are sniffing around him. Do you think we should sign him up or not?...

Do you think promotion at the end of this season is in the best interest of the club????

Yes. I just think we’ve got a fair few players who are very good who play in the same positions so others are struggling to get in. Even if Michut was better in training, if TM dropped Neil there would be uproar if we lost. You tend to keep players who are performing in the team but there’s nothing to say that there’s not someone better waiting for a chance.

He's not worth that at the moment imo, however he's hardly played this season so can't really make a judgement based on that.
 
I think we could do with a 3rd keeper personally. Unless Bass is showing big improvements in training which the management will know more than us.

Absolutely, I find it hard to believe how some fans think otherwise. 100m followed by parachute payments is a no brainer.
What's the point in being in this league longer than we need to. If we do go up it's because weve earned it and out squad is in the top 3 best squads in the league.
