Leicester, Leeds, Forest and Everton

[Nick Jansky]

Wonder how many grass cutters the Brighton goalie dived over today?

Having watched the match, I can answer that. None.

Leicester, Leeds, Forest and Everton​

A player from each that would improve us.

Harvey Barnes,Patrick Bamford,MGW,Michael Kean.

Bamford!? He's been shocking this season (when fit)
I’d love to think we might get hold of Ward-Prowse and Adams

 

[Stu_Blade]

Christ on a bike

Usually tied up over Christmas and Easter other than that he normally does well and has alot of supporters apparently

 

[CornwallBlade]

See Everton have been greasing some palms again

This. They’ll lose against Citeh but have a miraculous escape on the last day

 

[Bladey_blade]

Dreaming here but reckon Tyler Adams would be perfect if we didn't get doyle although he will be probably have takers better than us

 

[CornwallBlade]

I’ll assume you mean top of the ‘championship’ but I think that’s an age old myth that simply can’t be true. It’s not about money spent but let’s not pretend Brentford don’t have a quality of player far superior to anyone in the championship, that wild be naive and simply wrong!

Did you see Everton tonight? Let’s not pretend they wouldn’t absolutely blitz the championship with that team! And they’re shite in that division…

They will also have olayers with release clauses…..and a wage bill that they can’t afford in the PL let alone Championship

 

[Stu_Blade]

Looking at the fixtures there’s a good chance 1 of these clubs are staying up with the lowest point total to stay up (34). Would that highlight a poor premier league?

Agreed or maybe more competitive. When we went up during the Warnock era it was around 43 points for safety. Although 43 would have had us in 13th. 34 points is what 2nd bottom Charlton got that season

 

[Green7361]

Presumably you mean pace with end product. Oli Burke had pace to burn.
I do agree though. Our defence is more than adequate we need to sign dynamic midfielders and quick/powerful forwards.

Yeah someone up front who has composure, I do think Jebbison has potential but may not be ready just yet. Midfield is our big issue and agree with you, we needs some dynamism in there, we're likely to have less possession in the Prem so need to have the ability to break quickly

 

[Balham]

Why oh why do people keep suggesting Bamford would be a decent signing for us?

He had a purple patch in their 1st season back in The Prem but was absolute gash before that and has been absolute gash ever since.

Plus he's and absolute fanny with injury issues.

Bamford's decent spell coincided with lockdowns and empty stadiums. Put the crowds back in and his finishing is dreadful.

For all those questioning whether League 1 Wes is cut out for the prem - i had failed to notice Jason Steele is a regular starter for Brighton

 

[Keen Blade]

Knocks you sick doesn’t it.
I’m not a conspiracy theorist but on umpteen occasions going back nearly 30 years they have scraped themselves clear in the last few games with some utterly baffling results.
No way in a million years do you see them smashing Brighton 1-5 away.
As much as I like Everton, in the next breath I cannot wait to see them be relegated. I genuinely think that they would struggle in the champ.

That result stinks to high heaven

 

[Dkc]

That result stinks to high heaven

Does it though? They couldn't have instructed the whole Brighton team not to win. The result didn't hinge on dodgy refereeing decisions or keeper errors.

He's absolutely woeful. I honestly think those suggesting him watch a different sport to me

 

[Pintor75]

I would have said, go for Gyoceres, but he'll be out of our budget, assuming Sunderland don't go up I'd bid for Stewart as main striker, try and get Doyle for midfield, and if McAtee doesn't come back on loan try O'Brien from forest

 

[Belvedere Blade]

Leeds will beat Spurs

Don't know what happened to "We don't like going oop North Spurs"

Perhaps it was warm enough for them today

I hope we get them on a freezing cold night in January

Apparently available for loan next season.

No surprise Leeds arrogantly feel they'll walk the Champ next season and would look to have him back in 2024/25 when they're back in the Prem.

Interesting this I assume we would still be able to get two prem loans too. Be ambitious but still

On circa £55k/week - I wonder whether Leeds were arrogant enough to forego relegation clauses in player's salaries.

I assume he (and his reps) will push for a move where he's playing in the top division somewhere.

Forest already interested. Of more realistic ambitions is signing some Forest players as they look to cull their oversized squad from last seasons mad incomings. O'Brien I think will happen but I would love us to sign Sam Surridge too, he's still only 24 and always impresses me when he plays, he hardly gets a look in at Forest but saying that if they sell Dennis then they may look to retain Surridge but they only play one striker as a rule with MGW and Johnson behind, they've got Chris Wood signing on this summer too.
