Probably a good reminder that stats only go so far, which does feel like it might have been part of yhe issue last summer as we rebuilt the recruitment side.

(Not a dig at you, your blogs are interesting but given your lack of scouting budget...)

A keeper? I do find that weird.

Nick Pope

Just some crap fan account with 300 followers making stuff up wasn't it? There's no way we're signing Nick Pope on huge wages when we've signed Beadle, made him number one, and paid a sizeable loan fee.

Yeah must be, no chance of us signing him and if we did he'd be number 1 so we wouldn't of gone for beadle

Yeah quite possibly. Sometimes players just fall through the cracks too.

I hear ya. So you’re saying it’s

10 - Gelhardt or Memheti
LW - Osman/Otele/Cleary
CM - Nunez/Louza/Taylor (Nunez/Louza are the dream I’m adding in out of fantasy).

Don’t put player names into my mouth cos that’s not fair.

I thought Gelhardt was happening cos there was a lot of talk about it but that appears to have died down a bit so who knows? I honestly don’t think we’re after Mehmeti but I could be wrong.

Osman is the one they want for LW but I suspect if we do get him it’ll be closer to the end of the window. Heard nothing to suggest either Otele or Cleary are targets bar Twitter bullshit.

CM - no idea at all.

Otele is a mirage, he doesn't exist. Like Kanya or Luciano Figueroa

Osman being theoretically brought in closer to the window closing is fine, as long as Gray can stay fit until then, but being one injury away from zero available left wingers for the first month of the season is risky at best, negligent at worst.

I'd love Osman back but I think we need to get Gray SOME cover in the meantime, even if it just means sticking one of the academy kids on the bench

Trying to follow this thread is giving me a migraine.

Think I'll just wait for a footballer holding a scarf on the Kop.
