I’m basing it on nothing concrete
But he gives off a wrong un vibe
did he split with his wag bird?
I wouldn't be surprised if he is a bit of a wrong un. But a lot of players probably are.

Walker?
The next generation certainly are. Salah who we had from Arsenal was quite the deviant by the sounds of it. Few other players we’ve had over recent years have done some questionable things too.I wouldn't be surprised if he is a bit of a wrong un. But a lot of players probably are.

Hmmn.He usually plays in a back three now. Pep prefers Stones or Lewis as the inverted right-back who moves into midfield alongside Rodri.
They need to tackle at scholarship level now, they get the mentality they’re above everyone and can do as they like especially when it comes to women.I don’t think it’s a generational thing. I just think clubs and coaches had better damage control 20-30 years ago. Alex Ferguson shielded the deviants in the Man Utd dressing room. Other managers probably did the same. Safeguarding young lads who have too much fame and money too soon needs is crucial in football, especially regarding safe and consensual sex, drugs and alcohol.
Not sure if he’s been mentioned, but I seem to recall Rosenior saying that Gyokeres is the best striker in the division. Did they have a connection at Brighton? He does seem to have interest from Premier League though (paper talk). I’d be backing us instantly if we were to pull it off!
Also, any news on Connolly?
Nahwalkers a bit of an average player but his incredible pace allows him to play at the top level
Nah
He's a top player. Having pace doesn't take you from average to where he's at. Strength, composure, reading the game, tackling ability, etc. For the big matches he'd be 1 of the 1st names on the team sheet for me. Pep has the luxury of being able to look after him
Connolly's a tricky one.
Avoid at all costs: Toe, bird, fashion sense.
Snap him up: Narky bastard, eye for goal, not actually a dwarf.
If Rosie's prepared to smarten him up and buy him a sensible titfa' then I'd take a risk on a season long loan.
Think Ernie saying another season on loan would make the most sense if Rosie feels it’s a worthy decision. Adds something different and protects us from tying him down long term, as Rosie seems to get a lot out of him and if it doesn’t work it could very well end up like most of his spells elsewhere under a new gafferhe's scored 9 in 76
wouldn't say he's too prolific plus he's only played about 23 games in almost 3 years

I wouldn't describe Celtic as being 'massively better' than Rangers but there's certainly a gulf in class which Beale needs to deal with and he'll be given a limited amount of time in which to achieve that.The signing of Todd Cantwell was a good bit of business and if he can unearth 4 or 5 of a similar standard, Rangers will be looking to mount a challenge this season.It depends on which team he signs for. Celtic, on the one hand, are now massively better than any other team in that division. Rangers and Hearts come some way behind and the others are also-rans, true. Celtic almost treat the league like a succession of friendlies in prep for Europe, save for the derby games. On the other hand, given his injury problems, it's somewhere he could go to prove fitness and quality.
Suppose he could go across to Belgium or Holland, he'd do well there as well.
If reading the game and awareness were not among his strengths, players like M'bappe and Vinicius who are v quick themselves would have exposed him. They didn't. He made them look ordinary.by average, i mean a decent prem player but not a top player
his reading the game and awareness are not his strenghts, his pace is huge for helping out in that and he nullifies mbappe and vinicus
I've seen enough of him at Aberdeen (granted, not live, but the SPL is on all the time in our house thanks to my Weegie wife/MiL) to say he's not what Ireland needs ahead of Macca, who brings a lot more.
Scales is a more traditional centre half, a bit more like Jones, but Ireland have that in Collins and Egan. There's the fella at Norwich whose name I cannot pronounce unless I've had a lot of rum, that's also good and he didn't get called up either.
Stones or Rico Lewis usually plays as one of the two holding midfielders next to Rodri in a 3-2-4-1 when they have the ball (which is most of the time). However, when they defend, Stones/Rico Lewis plays as a right-back and the system becomes their pretty standard 4-3-3. Akanji, Dias and Aké are the back three in possession usually but when defending it becomes a back four of Stones/Lewis - Akanji - Dias - Aké with Aké being a left-back.
In theory, this system could work for City as Greaves could play the same role as Aké.
Darlow
A. Jones - McLoughlin - Greaves
Christie - Seri
Allahyar - Traoré/Tufan - Slater - Vaughan
Óscar/Tetteh
All theoretical of course though. Liverpool have tried it too with Alexander-Arnold being one of the holding midfielders in possession.
Rico Lewis is only 5’7 so would not be in contention for a place in our team. And, at 18 he has another 5 years before he would be considered and even then described as a young lad learning his trade.
Cheers.Welcome back.
