Duppy Conqueror

Somewhere in Italy Maresca is crying in his pasta bleeting why,why,why did I think Gusto was a better central midfield option than Santos?

Built like a brick wall and moves like one..

3 players is pretty standard reserved summer window tho.for even if a club has been highly successful.

We better in the 2nd half recently.2nd leg of ties is often classed as the 2nd half.. Watching the U19's v PSV. McQueen just scored.need to have a word with him about his celebration though dude is gonna fook up his knees doing that.

I case of we flushed the turd and can't see it but know it's lurking in the u-bend..

I want us to sign Nat De Cat just for his name. 6'4 at 17 would help give us some extra height too..

Lavia is the same as Fofana really.when fit a starter but shouldn't be counted on for more than a 5th option in a position that has 2 starters.Caicedo,Enzo,Santos and James being ahead of him.

Nah.only reason we play back 3 is way we have been already,with a full back moving into midfield and the other staying with CB's,when we are attacking.we don't have the right players at other positions to use a back 3 like Conte and Tuchel.

He flies back to Brazil to help hand out hymm books? I've seen compassionate leave so I presume a grandparent that hasn't moved with him (some of his family have) has become seriously ill or dead.

Quite sad situation really.last season he showed enough to warrant some faith in him for growth into more but Yul Quitter brainfarts him into a foreign position that made him look useless. then we blow 100m on 2 players for his position that aren't yet and may never be upgrades. Pure profit to then blow more than the amount we get.

I agree.Cucu is obviously better than Hato at this time but he would have struggled making up for Garnacho's Sunday league with a rum hangover type performance.

Being a feeder club certainly has a short expiry date and it's getting close to that with Strasbourg.the multi-club model used by other clubs appears a lot less savage than ours. BC should buy/invest in other clubs so we aren't always ripping the same team apart.

Hato and Acheampong would play on edges of a conventional back 3. But in other areas we don't have the right players for that further upfield.

Be interesting to see if the Arsenal game plays into his selection in regard to likes of James and Fofana.i think it will so going off they won't start I'd go with Sanchez,Acheampong,Chalobah,Badi,Cucurella,Caicedo,Santos,Palmer,Enzo,Gittens,Pedro.

If we don't sign Jacquet before the window closes we'll sign him shortly after. It will be good instead of having 3 young cb's all move into the 1st team squad next summer.have 1 get integrated during the rest of this season.2 is probably overkill tho as we don't have many fixtures left where we can get away with giving games to untrusted youth. I see a big overhaul of our defense in the summer.with only Cucurella,Acheampong,Hato,Fofana,James,Colwill and Chalobah remaining out of about 9 or 10 we'll have next season.
