Østigård

This year has taught me how to do all sorts of different characters on my phone.

It's mad really, everyone screams that we need another defender for quality and depth, we get one and it instantly everyone thinks someone is going. Maybe we have done what we all wanted, brought in extra quality and depth and that is that. Looking forward to seeing this guy play in the team.

We haven’t got enough players, get one “who is being sold”

We haven’t got enough players, get one “why haven’t we got a striker”

We haven’t got enough players, get one “who”

We haven’t got enough players, get one, “when’s the 3rd kit out”

Østigård

Is that right?

Yes. Øst/i means east and gård is farm or courtyard. Roughly pronounced uhrst-ee-gord.

A really, really insightful comment!
Let's sign players who are getting younger

Benjamin Button fits the bill

Benjamin Button on a free transfer.

Fuck sake. Too slow

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

It depends how the season starts - he hasn’t always played 3 at the back and I’d assume the higher quality teams will stretch wing backs a lot more. If we concede goals and are overrun in the first few fixtures he may revert back to a flat back 4

I agree about possibly reverting to a back four if things don't start well with the back five.

However I think the problem is likely to be down the flanks (esp if Dabo) is still out so if we go back four we then have to change what's ahead of them to give them cover. At the moment I could see Giles being taken out for the more defensive Mason after half a dozen games if his defending doesn't improve which would support a move to a back four.

If we did most obvious and least disruptive transition would be to a Xmas tree/4-3-2-1 so all you require is the extra CB pushes forward slightly as a defensive midfielder allowing the others to go a bit wider and provide cover. That of course reduces attacking threats down the flanks and allows their wide players to push on so we'd have to expect a bit more flexibility from the ACM's willing to go a bit wider to exploit that space and keep them honest.

I got great feedback on him from my Brighton supporting mate on twitter

 

[Johhny Blue]

That whole "in peace" thing is one of the more irritating things about football social media

Try it on the Sunderland forum and you’ll get a virtual shit kicking regardless of what you have to say

I can barely text English and now we have all these Frankenstein players. I’m screwed

why bother going there-asking for trouble

Are we getting in anyone with experience at playing at Championship level or above? Looking at our squad the lack of experience at the level is frightening. Only Fadz I think has played a decent number of games in the Championship. Highlights the pitiful budget our owners have given MR tbh.

Give it a rest Mr Happy

You fucking idiot

 

[Jesse Carver]

There's a great write up on him by Scouted Football from the other day. Apologies if it's already been posted.

This fella looks the business anyone know what his contract position is at Brighton ?

According to Transfermarkt it's up at the end of the season.

 

[Deleted member 9744]

Thought he played really well against QPR

 

[shmmeee]

Yep. Signed a three year deal in 2018.

 

[Seamus1]

I’ve heard he is highly rated at Brighton, so there is likely to be a 1 year option in the club’s favour

 

[Liquid Gold]

Can't see metnion of an option. Think he's very highly rated so will most likely be in their squad next year on a new deal we couldn't afford.

Nah we’ll have him in a sky blue wig by the end of the season and he won’t want to go back

 

[mark82]

We'll replace them anyway.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

We’ll afford it in the prem

[CanadianCCFC]

Love to see threads from when we signed players get resurrected in a good way

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Kastaneer was supposed to be an improvement on luke Thomas. I’d be surprised if he’s an improvement on the 3 CB we have and I will be even more surprised if we retain that formation anyway

 

[Otis]

Very misleading bump.

Bet loads of people think we have signed him permanently reading that.

 

[Saddlebrains]

Right needless bump that, soon as i saw the notification on this i almost came

 

[Deleted member 11652]

You gonna edit this if Uncle Rob tells you off again?
