Pizy

I think he’d definitely come here, yes. But would we spend the monster amount that Forest will ask for is the question. With UCL money, perhaps. Probably also depends on how good Sarr looks the rest of this season. 

I mean that’s not really up to him, is it? He signed a long new deal recently I believe. 

You can tell that he is incredibly talented with the ball at his feet for a CB. Some of that great ball carrying was on display yesterday. But as you would expect for a teenager his positional discipline and reading of the game is still super raw.
I agree with others that I’d 100% prefer to see him getting these minutes than Tosin or Badiashile but I think Josh would benefit massively from a season’s loan at a really solid midtable PL team. He could absolutely follow the Colwill path and come back here a top class CB.
He’s not really going to get the consistency and reps if he’s in and out of the team constantly here. Something to consider in the summer.

It is definitely a clear pattern with this team and was under Maresca too. We take a lead (even what should be a comfortable one) and then our whole team seems to think “job done, the other team will fold now” and our levels drop through the floor.
This more than anything shows how badly we lack that killer mentality as a team. You’d never see the current Arse team or the great City and Liverpool sides from recent years do stuff like this. They go 2-0 up and put their foot on the opponents throat. We go up and then go into cruise control instead.

Josh and Trev were nearly flawless the entire match and then inexplicably turned into clowns on that second Leeds goal. Seriously, what the FUCK was that?!
These 2 points dropped may literally decide our UCL fate come the end of the season. We desperately needed them.

Yet even with all the negatives and shocking defending, we still had the chance to take that 3 points right at the death. Falls to the 1 player out of the entire team you’d want it to with a gaping, empty net from a yard out and he somehow misses it.
Fucking sickening. Going to take a couple of days and perhaps some fortunate results around us for me to get over this one.

One of the most dominant, one sided matches we’ve played all season. In complete and total control, carving through them at will and keeping them away from our goal all together. 
And then literally the one and only negative of Caicedo’s game rears its head again which is that he feels like he has to chase down and win EVERY ball he sees. That turned the game on its head completely.
And then Palmer who’s finally rounding into form misses a sitter at the death from inches away from an open goal.
That’s a fucking gut lunch of the highest order. Who knows where our season could’ve gone if we won that like we should’ve. I feel sick.

Andrey Santos makes a MASSIVE difference to this team. His football intelligence both on and off the ball is incredible. Always seems to be in the right place and he’s super tidy on the ball. He provides the platform for The whole team to play. He is our new Jorginho but with more athleticism.
Only real critique of that half is that Palmer didn’t finish off that free run he had in the box. We score that and I think we’re cruising the rest of the way.

I think there’s a player in there too. I’m just not sure it can happen for him in a team like ours. He was highly effective at Ipswich when no opponent was ever going to park the bus against you. He could use his pace and quick turns on the counter and was excellent at that. 
Here we dominate the ball in the vast majority of matches and Delap’s best attributes are completely nullified because every defense is jam packed and restricting him. 
He may have the body and physical tools of your classic big #9 but he isn’t a Giroud type who can play with his back to goal effectively or you can feed cross after cross. He’s basically a bigger, more muscular Nico Jackson who is a counter attacking specialist.
I 100% think that if he were to be sold or loaned to some midtable club next season who play against teams who don’t sit back he’d be straight to scoring 12-15 PL goals. 

Really have to switch back on and actually play, ffs. Wolves have belief now and in these shit conditions anything can happen.

This is starting to get annoying as fuck. Can’t keep the ball to save our lives now.

I mean its Wolves 

Was a sloppy first 10 minutes but an increible performance ever since the first pen.

Normally I’d worry about tiny players like him but he looks like a pit bull of a character. Got that typical Argentine edge just like Enzo and many of the others we see.
No guarantees, you’re right, but I think he’d be fine. Someone mentioned it already but we should bring Barco in and send Essugo the other way on loan to play every week for a season. 

Just watched the highlights for Barco at Strasbourg from today’s game and again I’m super impressed. This kid legit looks like a potential top class midfielder. Completely runs the game pulling the strings whilst also being aggressive as hell without the ball. He may be really small but he’s fearless.
At this point I’m starting to be convinced that we shouldn’t even bother getting involved in the battles for those other highly desired midfielders like Anderson, Wharton, etc and should just do the easy move to get this kid. He’ll cost us a fraction of those guys and he knows our manager/system well.

The only way I think Julian Alvarez would come here is if we had a free run at him. If he signals that he wants a move he will have a long list of suitors offering him wages we refuse to go near. 
We probably have to accept that our 3 strikers next year will pretty much 100% be João Pedro, Delap, and Emegha. 

I was perfectly ok with us selling Pulisic. Always injured and inconsistent when he was fit.
What’s super maddening about our current situation is that 95% of our fanbase KNEW that we shouldn’t have gone near Gittens and Garnacho. Everyone knew these guys were bang average or even worse than bang average but for some strange reason people at our club were obsessed with both.
If I’m being fair, if we had an amazing beast of a starting LW I actually would mind having Garnacho as that player’s sub. As infuriating as he is, he’ll still pop up with goals here and there.
Gittens is the one that was a horrific mistake. Dortmund were literally shocked that we were willing to pay that price and their supporters were actually laughing at us for doing so too.
We’ve now bought 3 high priced LW’s in a row that have all either been gigantic flops like Mudryk and Gittens or disgustingly inconsistent like Garna. 

João Pedro is a great footballer and is capable of some spectacular finishes but we still don’t have that dominant #9 who can apply relentless pressure and get loads of shots away. He was great in the first half but then got completely gobbled up and nullified in the second half when he was marked closer.
And yes, I agree that Palmer is just hurting himself long term the longer he carries on like this. He is desperate to play in the World Cup and is therefor refusing to get surgery. He seriously looks like a completely different p,Ayer than he was in the past 2 seasons.
