Sporting director keen to offload and not mess around, press have been genuine in their reporting that the player is keen for a move and it certainly looks like he will be on his way soon. Has said if he moves it will be to the west midlands, but he hasnt mentioned which country that west midlands area belongs to. He also loves fish and womens chests. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is naming a squad the day before a match a French thing? To be fair, I think it's pretty much only English football that doesn't name a squad until the day of the game. Other sports like Rugby and Cricket will annouce a team a day or two before, and there was a bit of pearl-clutching earlier in the season when Bielsa named his squad early - which is something he's done a few times, and gotten articles written about it every time - so I think it's a fairly usual thing outside of English football. Personally, I've always found it weird that teams are announced just an hour before kick off, I really doubt how much it could affect preparation by leaving it so late, it's not like we'd be thrown for a loop not knowing if it will be Silva or Mahrez starting tomorrow for example.

I think Dean Smith should throw a real curve ball and play Hause and Engels up front but just before kickoff say " nah I was just effing with you". Then play Heaton there instead. They won't see that coming. Nor will our players mind you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugby and cricket aren’t subject to formation changes like football. If you announce the team early it gives the opposition time to assess the likely setup.

For us like when we announced barkley was close to fitness it made teams prepare for Jack outwide instead we played jack through the middle with AEG out wide. It is a marginal tactical boost but it is one. Especially against opponents with lots of depth where you can't perfectly prepare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
