Close the thread, disappointing again.

Better get ready for the summer, Beefy Boy.

 

There's a possible chain of events where the only departures will be out of contract players, Quansah keeps establishing himself, Bradley establishes himself and Endo keeps playing well. If all that happens, there will be a chance we do nothing in the summer as well.

Possibly. If Matip doesn’t stay we will need a CB. Maybe a right sided attacker and loan Doak.

In that scenario, Matip is replaced by Quansah, Gomez and him are 3rd and 4th choice CB and Bradley is backup right back. Even Big Sepp might factor in at CB.

By the way, if Sepp makes it here, his nickname must be Sepptic Tank.

[Pidge]

I'd go with Iceman or just 'The 'berg'.

I can still see us buying a CB maybe another versatile one. As for VDB he looks like horror actor Courtney Gains from Children of the Corn. Call him Malachi.

[TheHowieLama]

Call him a cab because he won't be here.

Orban set to join Lyon from Gent in January | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News — Sport — The Guardian Nigeria News – Nigeria and World News

 

Gift Orban is joining Lyon.

Looks a really talented player, one to keep an eye on @3 Stacks

Yeah, seen that. Lyon are doing a good job of recruiting whilst they are doing really badly results wise. They're still attracting promising players.

 

From what I've heard of Orban, he looks like a classic rough diamond; creates a lot of danger, mostly with athleticism and capable of good stuff technically, but will look like a donkey a lot of the time until he learns more.

Should have been sold in the summer

It's 10ml pissed up the wall so far

I find it difficult to believe how what was a problem that was supposed to be a relatively small op and that would see him back by pre season training has turned into a situation where post op where he hasn't played a minute or even made proper training in 9 months now.

He probably would have had a chance if it wasn't for the injury and if we were linked to a young bundesliga defender like him we wouldn't bat an eyelid. His age is now an issue in terms of registration but I wouldn't write him off quite yet.

[Salou]

Not that it helps Everton now, but that 10 point deduction has really changed behaviours in the premier league transfermarket (so far, still 2 weeks left). What's clear is that owners can no longer assume that breaking PSR rules will just be a fine or transfer ban, there are clear sporting punishments. I'm hoping they do the same thing with Forest because everyone could see what they were doing was ridiculous, and they did it expecting to fail but only receiving a financial penalty. 

 

The whole point of PSR was to get people to live within their means and grow revenue organically (harder for some than others which is where the fairness argument comes in and has some weight). You can clearly see clubs trying to trim squads and reduce wages and all of that is good for the game long term. 

[Creator Supreme]

I was fairly sympathetic towards them when they got the point deduction as I don't like off field issues affecting the league table, plus I have family who are bloos.

 

However, as time's gone on, the constant bleating, the finger pointing at everybody but themselves, the oh woe is me bullshit - I no longer give a shite.

 

Relegate them, kick the out of the cup competitions, give them a transfer ban.

 

In short, fuck em. You've made your dodgy bed, now lie in it you cheating cunts.

I’m certain we’ll buy a centre back in the summer.

 

I also think we’ll look to add to midfield and upfront. Fine tuning rather than dramatic changes.

I reckon ;

 

a CB unless the prognosis on Matip is good and we give him another year

two right-sided attackers if Mo goes.

Last started for us on Feb 4th of last year v Wolves.

 

Came back briefly in Apr but never started....

 

Played 30, 5, 30 and 31 mins in 4 games - last of which was on 26th April.

 

Nothing since.

 

I think you underestimate what he'll bring for the rest of the season. If we can just get that same 30 minutes 3 times, he'll put this team on another trajectory.

We currently sit top - so what other trajectory do we want to be on? 
 

And how will he manage that playing just 3 times at 30 mins a pop from a position of not having played a competitive match in over 12 months? 
 

The only thing he’ll ‘bring for the rest of the reason’ is more medical bills, and hopefully a warning not to sign players hitting 30 from slow leagues in future.

He's too much of a wuss to deal with something that painful.
