  1. are you sure it was 'Rashica' you put into search.....?
  2. To be a top club think the general rule is 2 players for every position. For the six midfield and attacking positions, in my view we've got 11 (Luiz and Nakamba, Barkley and Hourihane, McGinn and Ramsey, Grealish and ?, Watkins and Davis, Trez, and Traore), leaving room for one more front 3 player.
  3. Didn't think i'd get to see Simon Grayson being mentioned on here today....
  4. I do sometimes feel like i'm channeling the great man. Guess I have a soft spot for him
  5. While unlikely to take us to the next level, I think Hourihane deserves greater respect and credit for his contributions over the last few years. I don't think we'd have stayed up without him on the pitch. I think he feels like he doesn't get enough respect either (judging by what he posts on social media over the past couple of years), which 'upsets' me. A huge part of our progress and still think he's got a role to play until we (hopefully) get to that next level. And when he comes to leave, should be recognised for what he's done for us. Would not be happy to see him go now
  6. Konsa will make mistakes this season, but i fully expect him to develop further and in time could be one of our great CBs that we love to laud. Appreciate it's difficult to see mistakes on the pitch that lead to goals but we've got someone with huge potential here and need to not get on his back. If we bought in a first choice CB, Konsa would get a lot less game time and his development would slow. Not sure how we ever expect these players to become top class players if we just buy players to play over them
  7. After dipping in and out of here the past few weeks seeing you all tear your hair out at the lack of signings, i logged on expecting to see some happy posts for once.....clearly being too optimistic! The price we've paid is the cost of the top scorer in the championship these days, especially aged 24. The club clearly has a strategy. We'll get (and have already got) a lot of value elsewhere. We're not paying J-Rod wages. We're building a sustainable club with young, hungry players, a mix of british and non-british, players who fight for the shirt and not come for one last pay day. Have faith and trust in the team.
  8. Refreshing this page every 30 secs is pure self flagellation. Seeing Sturridge's name crop up again has, however, forced me back to my spreadsheets
  9. And assuming there's a recall clause, we would get back a player who's been playing regularly rather than sitting on our bench!
  10. If you crying into your pillow means we go on a ten game win streak then i'm all for it, soz

    Pitch Invasions

    Not surprised to hear there was goading and slapping etc, but if it's confirmed then takes away any excuse at all for going on the pitch. I don't care that it's a minority ruining it for everyone, noone should be on there in the first place! Maybe all those so keen to show their enthusiasm for the club could instead channel it to singing for 90 mins every home game
  12. is it possible to de-register a play mid season?
  13. Any basis for this? Smith has been clear in interviews that we want another striker and the club are working on it
