Milner was multi-position in the sense he was c*** wherever we played him

That’s pretty much the what the Athletic article says. Dahoud, Fati and Igor. If he pushed for those 3 and doesn’t recognise it failed and still wants ‘his’ picks I can understand why TB has pulled the trigger.

Thanks for sharing this, very interesting. I do worry that our approach is becoming a bit inflexible. If you take the article as truth, RDZ is not wrong that we probably need to supplement the youngsters and old uns with a few players of the ‘right’ age. That said, if as the article suggests...

Would you like to revisit this question after today?

If this is right, I’m even more concerned. Losing Pascal and keeping Milner is a TERRIBLE start to the window

He’s really not very good. Part of a very poor transfer window (Pedro apart)

I think you’re broadly right, although I wouldn’t expect too much in terms of answering questions. I’ve done some media training in another industry and you’re pretty much taught to say the same few talking points over and over and how to do so in response to different questions. I you see...

This is exactly what I would have said. I’m also nervous because of what I think the ‘disagreement’ between RDZ and TB means about our likely recruitment in the summer. Not that I want us to spend 100s of millions on established players, but if RDZ was asking for a couple of good athletic...

I’ve played there! Used to play for Battersea Ironsides 3rds against Merstham a lot. But have decided my league cricket days are long behind me now…

Many a true word spoken in jest. I cannot see why on earth you’d go for him over someone like McKenna, yet many who think McKenna would be ‘underwhelming’ are creaming their pants over this guy, whose sides score barely any goals. They just want someone hipster I think.

I wonder whether a change of manager makes it more likely he’ll return. I don’t believe the ‘personal reasons’ stuff.

Me too. Carl Frampton on TNT the same. Lots of people swayed by the fact that Usyk was going forward most of the time. He got lucky not to be ruled a TKO though as well.

McKenna is the standout candidate for me. What he’s done at Ipswich is phenomenal, he plays a similar style and is used to working on a lower budget than his competitors. The challenge will be whether he can persuaded to leave. But the chance to chase top 10 and maybe even Europe vs probable...

He might be sat there again!

I do think our lack of size/physicality is a problem. RDZ has alluded to it as well. I like WBG and Pascal is a legend, but as a midfield partnership it’s a huge downgrade on last season and why we can’t keep pace with the ‘bigger’ clubs this season. It’s understandable - having a WC winner and...

Was the question, ‘what would it take for you to choose to drink Harvey’s’?

This is one way of looking at it. Let’s call it the glass half full way. The glass half empty way is that the ref’s are s**** either way and without VAR we end up in much the same place but without all the delays and fannying around that makes for such a soul destroying experience for those...

Sadly, it also depends on Solly’s ability to regain fitness.

Well that’s a good question. In my head he’s going to go out on loan given the stage he seems to be at in his development. But I’ve no real reason to think that. Assuming Solly will return, if he does stay then yes that fills that slot.
