  1. It’s the small world phenomenon theory otherwise known as the six degrees of separation... Poor joke aside... I used to work for OUFC a few years ago now and what struck me initially was if you are in the inner sanctum’s of the game peeps talk a hell of a lot from different clubs about other club matters regardless of the division and very open about these/all matters as you build a network of contacts etc ...
  2. Looks like a cock & bulls and a butt ... Or a cock n bulls is about to penetrate the caped crusaders bat symbol ...
  3. Benteke scoring record is shit end of no excuses he is past it ..
  4. **** OFF TALKING ABOUT THE HAS BEEN BENTEKE FFS !!! If smith really wanted Maupay would be here as like Konsa. Some of other reason was at play - simples. Not sure what that is, but if Dean really wanted him then a deal would of been brokered.
  5. Mateta would be a huge upgrade on Wesley but will no doubt cost close to €25mill + just imagine a front line of Grealish Rashica and Mateta WOW ! Ain’t gunna happen I know!
  6. He has just returned to fitness ... lucky it wasn’t his ACL , torn meniscus. He looks a better version of Wesley. Doesn’t fit with Dean’s hit the ground running comments so doubt it’s a goer now .
  7. Jean-Phillipe Mateta . Heard he was the one we wanted back in the summer. Looks a great player.
  8. Piatek linked with Newcastle ... worth a cheeky bid ?
  9. Nemanja Maksimovic From Getafe would add class and steel to our midfield. Linked with West Ham so attainable..
  10. Would definitely take Barkley but he wont swop the Chelsea bench for a regelation scrap... In the summer he may be more attainable depending on how we finish...
  11. You have to look at the defence he as playing behind some of those games, which doesn’t excuse all the soft shots & howlers as such but is a mitigating factor for me. let’s see how he does with Mings Engels etc before casting ultimate judgement on his ability? . I Wouldn’t underestimate the Cutler effect either. He may be shit but he also come good... I’m reserving judgement and for now and I’m just happy Heaton’s (unfortunate) injury has happened at the beginning rather than the end of the window giving us time... if butter fingers resurfaces
  12. We don’t have anymore spaces left in our 25 man squad so will players need to leave or be omitted for new ones to be registered. Is he worth a place though ? = IMO NO! Rather give our kids a shot over him. Plus I’ve always thought jack could do a job like Messi as a false 9 dropping deeper to collect the ball and running at defences pulling defenders out of position and leaving spaces for himself and others.
  13. He made quite a few (forgotten) world class saves last season... shame he will forever be remembered for the Forest game which was woeful admittedly....
  14. Been have reportedly been turned down by Wylan Cyprien attacking midfielder from Nice. https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2020/01/03/do-report-six-goal-midfielder-turns-down-move-to-aston-villa/ Dubious source ...
  15. I’d take Butland at those figures.. Not sure who else there realistically is.. I did previously mention Walter Benitez is on a free in the summer as is Alexander Nubel ... cheeky bid
  16. Walter Benitez can talk to foreign clubs today about a summer bosman. Heaton shot stopping is first class but his distribution let’s him down and if he has done his knee badly then worth an enquiry surely this Jan. Alexander Nubel is sadly no out of reach As he too is available on a free in the summer.
  17. Drinkwater’s head has gone and he will end up down the path same of McCormack ... He is a busted flush living of a good 18months -2 years how many seasons ago... He may come good but for me it’s too much of a risk we need to find the next Drinkwater without the baggage.
  18. Taylor will be a defensive wingback to counter act jack’s and Guilbert’s attacking instincts. Kodija should be starting though over Wesley and I would maybe consider promoting Ramsey to the squad.
  19. We need to end the bad run and a change formation & tactics was required as 433 wasn’t working out ... which is what he has done and now smith is apparently in panic mode ... WTF
  20. I’d take hulk for 6 months .... we need quality and even at his age he would cause problems I feel for the opposition.
  21. It’s a real shame Robert Skov wasn’t signed and we got trez instead .... similarly available players in the summer .... he has been the biggest disappointment so far run close by Wesley but expected him to take time to settle. Trez just looks like he is a championship player and nothing more.
  22. Good shout ! Just read up on him and apparently wants to leave for first team football https://bulinews.com/news/3917/report-jacob-bruun-larsen-wants-leave-dortmund
