Chris Bedia to come in today. Top scorer in Switzerland 2022-2024, big tall quick striker, scores all types of goals.

Gustavo Puerta supposedly coming in. Colombian midfielder who featured a handful of times for Leverkusen last season. Looks to be a tenacious technical midfielder.

Rumours

Lewis Travis wealth of experience, top ball winner, a profile of midfielder we’ve been missing for years.

Faride Alidou young winger from Germany previously played under Walter, supposedly lightning quick, scored a few in the Bundesliga last season.

Abu Kamara, right winger from Norwich who’s handed in a transfer request, had a very good season in league 1 last season, we are desperate for a natural right winger.

Jonas Meffert, holding midfielder from Hamburg, the heart beat of Walter’s team there but they don’t want to let him go despite reports of him wanting to come and a transfer request going in.
Sounds promising, my lunch time will be spent googling! Appreciate it
 
Shots on target training do people think shooting without any defenders actually helps them in a game

Definitely, remember practice makes perfect.

Gary Player: "the more I practice, the luckier I get".

David Beckham used to be very lucky with his free kicks.

You can’t count Aydinlik, he wasn’t even registered as a first team player and we only had six because Delap was a long term absentee. Realistically, there’s no point in having more than five loans.

All loans count regardless of what you do with them, you’re right, there isn’t much point having more than five, but we can if we wanted to, for things like cheap squad depth.

Bench would look very handy too....

I WONDER IF THERE'S STILL INTEREST IN BOZENIK....

thats going to be the team for me, the sentiment for Simons et al will be gone when the South American ballers are laying waste to the division, hope we bring in Travis too him alongside both South Americans could be a serious midfield 3.
 
Yes. But if we had practiced that all the balls would have ended up in rows X Y and Z of an empty stand and the game would be over.
How can it be a bad thing to practice kicking the ball at the goal?
They score most shots when they do it in the pre match it clearly doesn’t translate

Modern football is about maximizing xG by initiating a Low-block, High-press rotation and recycling plays through the lines, whilst using a double pivot to force an overload.


There's no place for kicking the ball at the goal in a post-Pep environment and thus such outdated action has fallen out of fashion.


At least, that appears to be the Hull City way.

I know 3 lads who were at Man Utd with varying degrees of success years ago. They all said the same thing, the first to arrive and the last to leave were always Beckham, Giggs and Scholes. No coincidence, though some people insist there are no such things as coincidences, they all had very long careers at the top. Beckham always asked some of young players to stay behind with him and help him with free kicks. He spent ages doing the same one again and again before moving to a different spot.
They also said Beckham, Giggs and Scholes were the most welcoming and helpful to the young players.
Schmeichel was the most standoffish, which was surprising for one of them as he was a keeper. The first day that lad was there as a 16 year old he was looking lost after training and Beckham asked him if he fancied a bite to eat. He thought that is nice of him and expected he would take him to the canteen or a cafe. Instead he took him back to his place where Posh, who had only had Brooklyn recently, rustled them up some food. He only made it as far as playing some reserve games and a place on the bench before being released but had some great memories.

What about transitioning through the thirds,

Sounds like a **** move by Beckham expecting his wife to make him and a teammate a meal.

Maybe Beckham should have made his teammate a meal and helped Posh out with Brooklyn.

Thought you had me on ignore? Please put me back on it.

How misogynistic of you to think women at home these days whilst the husband is at work are incapable of preparing a meal like generations before them did.

Ernie sure knows his onions
 
Show you hard it is to get a striker in this league. Norwich are about to use most of their Rowe money on getting one. £11m for Ante Crnac from Rakow
