I struggle to see how he’s ever been seen as a defender. Maybe in young age group football. But as a Senior pro, he gets owned too often by bigger, more aggressive wide players. He is alright at getting forward. He is brave in possession and has good technique. Being small and a bit tricky has...

Love Sheaf but if he goes, so be it. I won’t be bitter about it as long as the fee is respectable {£10m+}. He’s done a great job for us and seems a decent lad who just wants to get to the highest level he can. Better to sell him now than in 12 months when he’ll be in his late 20s with 1 year...

🤣

I know what you mean about Chelsea but if they sell Gallagher and palm a few off to Saudi, there’ll be funds. Silva will be off the wage bill. It’s possible. A new Liverpool manager will want a marquee signing, especially if they can still get a good fee for Salah.

If he does leave Sporting, while they could accept below €100m it will be very close to that figure I reckon. There are not many ‘top’ number 9s out there and Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool have form paying those kind of sums. Aside from being a beast, he’s got goals, assists and doesn’t get...

Big respect to Godden. Those goals he scored in tight games against the stronger L1 teams (Ipswich, Sunderland, Portsmouth & Rotherham) helped get us over the line to promotion. Bit like when Cantona scored in a load of 1-0 games for Man U when they overtook Newcastle to win the prem. Chipped...

Sheaf MVE Thomas Wright Bidwell If it was based on the second half of the season, Simms would be in. Eccles has now established himself as a decent championship player. Just not quite top 5 material for me (yet).

When he’s on form, Kitching is a good counterbalance to Thomas who has more raw defensive qualities. Kitching at his best is the kind of player who is in the right place at the right time and/or gets a foot in to nick the ball rather than making a showy tackle. He can fizz really nice balls in...

CB is quite complex for us as it stands. So ideally, we play a back four and let’s keep in mind that very few left footed CBs have made it in the RCB position. Ok so let’s assume we can sign Binks (good intelligent player, good on the ball and in the tackle, needs work on positional play imo)...

Thomas has quite a few rough edges but he’ll come good. We were never buying the finished article. Same with Kitching although we paid a hell of a lot for him. Young, left-footed ball playing CBs are at a premium. Don’t forget Bologna will want £3-4m for Binks. On Kitching, he looked really...
