Kinda knew that, but the post was just a follow on with the Pedro injury and the fact we are short in the position,the article said nothing that he would be going to Vitesse if we did sign him, there is no indication that he would go there , i wouldn't say it is a probable as we need another winger nxt season not afew years down the line. IF we do buy him without any other wingers think he will be into the squad ?

Doubt it.  At another club?  Probably.  Here?  Not really.  We have Boga and Musonda as well.  Depends how he gets on in training, I suppose.  I just don't remember the last time we bought an "unknown" and he didn't go on loan (or was dumped 12 months later).

Really disappointed with him in the CS. Paassenger in the game and an absolutely needless tackle that gave that con-ref a choice. I think it is safe to say he lost us that "trophy" and more importantly that we lost to one of our biggest rivals in a really embarrassing fashion. After the season he has had he should have done better.

I got no problem with his attitude. That tackle was full of work rate, passion and commitement. Yes, sometimes playing like that will get you sent of, but I prefer that then to have him jogging around waiting for our team to win a ball. And it was for a yellow card anyway.

I have a conspiracy theory, red card was given in order to increase probability of penalties so they could be tested.

maybe you are right. But the tackle was reckless with open studs nowhere near the ball. There was no need to foul the player we were in full control of the match they did not get a sniff of our goal. If he does not make that tackle we win the match. And it was not that Pedro was any useful in the match. He was going to be subbed off anyway.

No.

Got mixed reports initially, but apparently he's not banned. 

Looked like he injured his hamstring in that tackle so he may be out anyways.

But it still gets you a trophy so our aspiration should be to win it.

It's a friendly the purpose of the match is to raise money for charity as seen by yesterday's minutes silence for Grenfell tower. Take the giving of a shield away and what have you got a 90 minute friendly simple as. When Vialli was sacked all opposition fans pissed themselves when it was said he won five trophies one was the charity shield one the super cup. These games have become more scrutinised rightly or wrongly because of the media's obsession with football.

But you have to look at the bigge rpicutre. We lost to one of our biggest rivals in a derby that kicks off the season in embarrassing fashion. we have lost in the shield 2010,2012,2015 and 2017. We lost the FA Cup final, the Super cup in 2012 and 2013 as well as the Worlc club in 2012. We hae been horrednous at these kind of mini trophies. Yeah they are unimportant but it would still be better to win them. A great way to kick off the season. It might only be a shield but it is handed by the FA and it is in wembley. It is a glorified freindly, but every trophy is just a piece of medal handed out after a number of glorified games. Also with very few exceptions a lost CS is a sign of a bad season to follow. The writing is on the wall and ahs been for months now.
