“Certainly! Here’s a grammatical breakdown:


1. Clause Structure:

• The sentence contains a main clause: “I’m hoping we can keep winning games” and a compound conditional clause: “but if we can and if they’re the right players.”

• The word “if” introduces two subordinate conditional clauses:

• “if we can”

• “if they’re the right players.”


2. Ellipsis:

• In the first conditional clause (“if we can”), the predicate “keep winning games” is omitted but implied from the earlier main clause.
• This is an example of ellipsis, where part of the sentence is left out because it is understood from the context. Without ellipsis, the sentence would read:

“I’m hoping we can keep winning games, but if we can keep winning games and if they’re the right players.”


3. Reference and Cohesion:
• The pronoun “we” in “if we can” refers to the same subject as the main clause (“we” in “we can keep winning games”).
• The modal verb “can” expresses ability or possibility, and its meaning is tied to the omitted action “keep winning games.”

In summary, “if we can” is a conditional clause with an implied predicate (“keep winning games”) that relies on ellipsis for conciseness. It derives its meaning from the main clause.”

That’s all very well but the modal verb “can” is in front of the predicate “keep winning games”.

So it’s offside.

Should be in ex players thread really as we aren’t signing him. Should do alright. We were his first loan and that never works out well.

I hope he has learnt to kick the ball, he never seemed to get it off the floor

Meh, Akpom has had one good season in his career. Think Boro did well to sell him for as much as they did personally.

May be wrong but don't expect him to light up the league coming back.

Agree. Overrated player living off one season.

EXCLUSIVE: Galatasaray are interested in Milan van Ewijk.

Milan van Ewjik's agent has been contacted in the last hours, asking for financial demands from Coventry and the player.

yeah, they have been after him all window but have not yet posted a offer anywhere near what we want according to the ITKs

unlikely to sell now unless it is an unbelievably good offer

In fairness though it is true that Sunderland are showing ambition, and why not? It's there for the taking for them. They got a good fee for Jack Clarke too.

This looks like they’re taking the next steps to understand financial demands for wages and transfer fee.
