    If he’s available we’ll be in for him. Not saying we have a hope of getting him, but we’ll try for sure

    The only real difference between players for his system and not for his system is that there are no wingers involved for his system. He still needs to repair the CM, which is the same as any manager, and the players he's likely to be able to bring in to do that would still fit in a midfield that also has wingers. Modern football is 3 in the middle, so the difference is whether it's a narrow 3 ahead of that, or a wide 3. If performances don't pick up and he gets the boot, we shouldn't need major surgery for anyone who comes in thereafter, as they'd likely just need a couple of wingers

    It amazes me that people still don't understand how modern sports journalism works... The aim is to get clicks/impressions. You get clicks/impressions by writing things about players who have question marks over their future, linking them to clubs who have fans who will gobble it up, or who are currently at clubs where you'll rile the current fans up. Combine riled up current team fans with excited linked team fans and you get impressions. It's a very basic formula, and most outlets rely on to generate enough advertising revenues to survive. The fact that people still fall for it is astonishing.

    Yup, I do. 12 months ago there were articles about him in women's magazines, he was the most exciting player in the premier league, there was blanket sports coverage in the UK and overseas about him. Now he's barely mentioned. The Gucci thing has probably been in the works for a while.

    I would imagine brand Grealish has taken a bit of a hit overall this year tbh

    Why are people so obsessed with wanting Buendia in CM? He’s a right winger playing out of position as a 10, and we want to push him even more out of position into CM?

    Given that Davis is on 45k I wouldn’t be surprised
  8. og1874
    That’ll be why it sounded crap then lol

    noooooooooooooooo

    Random thought, but I'm really surprised that there doesn't exist software that will use historical match data from all the top 5 leagues from, say, the last 10 years, to identify the optimal position for every player on the pitch given every possible position of the ball, opposition, and teammates, whether in attack or defence Something where basically you create the scenario by positioning the opposition and ball, sticking in the phase of play conditions, and then having it spit out where the mathematically sound best area for every one of your players to be is, as well as transitioning through the likely outcomes based on the opposition team and players Obviously it'd potentially ruin the game, but given some of the tech they're using now, I'm amazed this isn't a thing yet

    Going to assume range is the answer to that

    Just signed up, let's see if I can get out of the bottom 6 in the games that are left. Filled out my preliminary predictions and apparently this how I figure the table will turn out:

    Need to upgrade McGinn too IMO

    One thing to note is that when I blocked a user, the first time it brings you to a new page that asks what content you want to block - make sure to actually tick what you want to block on there or they'll be blocked, but none of their content will (so they won't be blocked at all, basically)

    So not just me being irritated by that then
  16. og1874
    Not sure who the usual suspects are just yet, but from my short time here I've reached my limit with some in particular basically posting "Gerrard is rubbish sack him" in basically every single active thread on the site for the past few weeks. Fine with that opinion, but shoehorning it into every single discussion becomes tiresome very quickly

    If Targett of last season turned up this season we wouldn’t have Digne
  18. og1874
    Hah very familiar with how the web works, just a bit surprised to see no mute/block function
  19. og1874
    Yeah, he has been better. That’s not saying much, but do you not remember us getting targeted (no pun intended) down our left game after game after game while Matty was playing? He was brilliant last year, but a pub player this year, for whatever reason
  20. og1874
    Yeah coz signing good players is super easy, right?
  21. og1874
    In todays market he’s a bargain for what we paid for him
  22. og1874
    I’m not actually sure we have sufficient players to set up anything but a bottom 8 standard midfield. Several very good players, but we basically have 4 sides of a box - it’s useless without the other bits
  23. og1874
    The reason they won’t do that is because it’s require separate gear for the women’s game, and most grassroots pitches etc wouldn’t be able to afford it. Having everything the same specs makes it more likely for the women’s game to remain accessible
  24. og1874
    When talking about Digne and Targett, people seem to forget how utterly inept Matty was for us this season. He was absolutely awful
