Kiwior would be quality. My argument against us being able to sign him is that he'd have offers from Italian clubs in the Champions League, but actually we could possibly compete with that. Bournemouth would probably gazump us though!

Anyone interested in Hojlund for £30m? Probably a bit rich for the rebuild needed, but there's a cracking player in there in my opinion that's had his confidence knocked at Man Utd.

Wouldn’t be the first player to be **** on at manure. A lot of players leave there and go on to be top players at other clubs, I think it is just the toxic atmosphere around the place

Growth spurts are definitely something that needs a lot of care. I have seen it quite a few times with young footballers. It can be really odd to watch and if you dont know what you are seeing it is mind boggling. I have seen lads grow over a summer break and come back to pre-season and they can barely trap a ball. It can take a couple of weeks for their brains to realise their feet are further away. I know that sounds stupid, but I have seen it time and again. Coordination becomes a problem in a noticeable way. I actually think Rigg may have had a small one middle of last season where I thought his ball control was off a touch.

As to Rigg the player. I have really high hopes for him this season. Such a shame he has this niggle. I think all the talk over the summer of players playing Riggs role, may end being reversed into Rigg playing Riggs role <laugh>

When Jobe first got here it was exactly like that, almost as if he didn’t know his own body. Once his brain caught up you could visibly see the improvement especially last year.

I get that, I was just generalising because we’ve already had this discussion around Neil anarl. Nobody knows how good they might be but if they aren’t standing out at the level below the likelihood is they probably aren’t going to step up. And we can’t risk giving them the first 10 games of the season as some sort of thank you for getting us promoted, there’s no loyalty in football. I’ll say more often than not because there’s always some smart arse who loves to say “what about Jamie vardy” but decent players are picked up when they’re young, they generally stand out at the lower level they’re playing at.

It’s an unfortunate consequence of our rapid progression, Isidor and Mayenda could’ve both probably have done with another season in the championship to show what they could really do but Isidor doesn’t have time on his side whereas Mayenda does, he’s 25 this month. In my opinion if he was as good as some make out he should be scoring more than 12 goals across a full season in the championship, baring in mind he had barely any assists to compliment that.

I understand your point of view but the trouble is we don’t know how any players will react to the step up in class, I remember when we got promoted to the championship and how many posters wanted rid of LON because he was league 1 at best.
Or how Mayenda was not good enough as he couldn’t even get a game in Scotland.
These are just 2 recent examples from our squad.
Isidor scored his goals in his first season in a new country and has now settled in. Can he step up and score 15 or 20 in the prem?
Mayenda got his goals in important games and now has confidence on his side can he step up to the prem? Again nobody knows but we give them the chance.
The finishing position last season means nothing mate because as you know we sacrificed the last 5 games to prepare the squad and that preparation paid off.
Yes we have needed to add some quality but we already had quality in the squad they were just young and need time to develop. Time I believe that we are giving them. It’s easy to say we were not good enough but we got promoted with the youngest squad ever to do it so making the achievement sound lucky is a bit much, I prefer to say we fought harder in the latter stages and when watching back were far better than most neutrals or the presenters on the day gave us credit for.
All in all I agree that some players may not make the grade and some may need a bit more time but others may surprise us all and really kick on. I think I will just trust th management team to sort through it all, as the rest is after all only our opinions and often those opinions are clouded by outside influence other opinions or just how we feel on that day.

The other possibility of course is that Chelsea have put the brakes on the deal because Leipzig want Tyrique George as part of the Simons deal and they've already allowed Broja to move and will be selling Jackson.

I'm not saying Giui is a better player than Garcia by the way, but I don't think we've got enough evidence to know either way as a fan base. The CWC is about as pointless as using Giui's Conference league stats.

Garcia has done nothing in La Liga yet, all of his goals are essentially at junior level. An exciting talent for sure, but I'm not sure how we can project one as a rotational loan player and the other as a superstar to keep us up.

I'll trust the clubs judgement on it, but personally I'm as excited about Giui as I am about Garcia.

His flight to the NE was cancelled yesterday. This could have been due to the bad weather etc. Keith Downey said the deal is still on.
Since then Garcia may have become available for a loan so put two and two together and get 5. no one really knows!

Real Madrid is already clear how to manage the position of center striker for this season and the next ones. The main doubt was between two promising young strikers: Endrick and Gonzalo. For now, everything indicates that Endrick will be the one who will keep the position as a starter, while Gonzalo will be on loan in the short term to continue accumulating experience.


The club is watching Endrick's performance over the next few months. If the young striker does not get outstanding numbers between now and December, it is not ruled out that Gonzalo can keep the position when he returns from the loan in January. In this way, Real Madrid seeks to have a flexible plan that allows them to take advantage of the talent of both players.
