    I think that is the key topic. We've had a single pre-season and a few games in our colours. Fulham had him on loan in an injury ravaged season and didn't get too many proof points either, My instinct is that he's probably a PL player but not a top 6 player. I could genuinely see why we would...

    Joao Palhinha

    Yeah, I'm hoping he has something to prove as well after last season.

    I think I watched about every minute of our pre-season when he joined. I remember seeing moments when he missed that golden opportunity to pass to a team mate or cross the ball. Then Perisic would replace him and perhaps make it look a little more exaggerated. I also watch local football with a...

    Mikey Moore

    In a round about way, you seem to be saying that Mikey went from U18s as a 16 year old then deep first into our mens first team, and has perhaps missed out a few normal steps that players go through. That includes playing that much for our U21s prior to getting time away on loan and it now feels...

    I would say that Solanke, Tel, Johnson, Madds, Kulu, Kudus and Odobert are in the safe group. Richi, Son, Solomon and Gil are most likely to leave. Yang, Lanks, Donley etc are probably waiting to find out whether they fill our squad or head out on loan.

    I'm guilty as charged of not watching Girona or Leeds last season to be fair. I've always felt that Gil is talented but have also questioned his best position and his end product. I do see the arguments on his physical build as well. Probably all moot points at this stage with his contract...

    lol - there's this new fangled thing called the tinterweb. You find informative things like this. Mar 16: 'He has a knee injury and needs to speak with Dr. Cugat. We'll see if it's an operation or not. If he has surgery, he could be out for the entire season. But more tests need to be done, and...

    lol - meant Norgard. Mixing my golfers up with my footballers now.

    Aren't they both injured?

    Joao Palhinha

    What I always found interesting was how much of the game Wanyama spent ahead of Dembele when they played together in 16/17. We were so used to Dier sitting behind Dembele and dropping into the back four, and then all of a sudden we were a different threat in the middle of the park. I think...

    When Spence is in that one-on-one position he's perhaps fine. When he's ambling back and leaving his side exposed then he's clearly not. That's the intensity and commitment I see from Porro that I want to see in Spence. He needs to be more the athlete when it comes to getting back into position...

    Transfer thread

    I would have agreed with you a few years back. What you talk about is what we've been doing for a fair few seasons now. We obviously can't get all of them. We've got Spence, Kulu, Bergval, Gray, Kinsky, VDV, Udogie, Odobert, Tel, Yang etc. We really have landed some potential stars in these last...

    Joao Palhinha

    Yep, it will take Frank about 5 mins to teach our players how to operate as a double pivot. We even played that way under Ange in the latter stages of the EL to create the defensive shield that took us to the trophy. Frank's challenge is not how to do that easy midfield setup. It is how to...

    Expectations for 25/26

    That's good to hear. It is definitely hard to differentiate between Ange's rubbish "team defensive system" and the qualities of the individual defenders and the back 4 unit as a whole. Under Frank, I'm more than willing to sacrifice some goals going in to see us get this problem sorted. I do...

    There is obviously an assumption in your logic that we chose not to take the risk. How do we know that? We've seen many players of this age over the years snub Spurs and the other bigger clubs to make sure they have first team football and build their PL reputation. You can go as far back as...
