Evening siblings, on a different note, been glued to the olympics, how good are team GREAT Britain. No host country has ever performed well in the subsequent olympics, we gained 65 medals in 2012, 29 of which were gold. Well, I reckon we are going to smash it and get very close to those totals, if not beat them.

Hope this is true and were even closer than ever on getting the bridcutt deal and all that needs sorting is his personal terms. i'd like to think something like that are probably already agreed as he's been pushing to get here.

Hope you are right Mrs.

Nah, his legs have gone. Since we've been linked he must be about 45!

Yes looks like he will be a Leeds player probably tomorrow .

Bridcutt and osman by end of weekend perhaps? Not massive on osman but never followed the fella so can't really comment tbh. who's this zulte lad from Belgium? Any good?

12 Aug 2016 13:15:08
both have prem quality and will make a difference osman think could be great in this league with hernadez would frighten any champ defence. speaking of champ defences where is our new cb you know we are in touble when hess is asking to bring back bellendchi.

Agree with you Berm Osman still a quality player esp in championship always thought we need someone with experience in the middle with Bird coming and a new c/ b things are beginning to look better .
I still think we will struggle to make top six and should sell Taylor and go for the lad we were linked with from league one, the reason he wants to go .

Morning one and all on the eve of our first home game, let's hope the season starts properly tommorrow. I think it's going to be a good weekend, my son has a three week break from the Royal Marines, the sun is shining and the pubs are open, lovely lovely. Fill yer boots siblings, up the Whites and down those pints.

Morning Vidmeister General, just put one in for you at the virtual bar and one for Vid Junior. Don't know what he drinks so I got him a top shelter to get him on his way.

Given that Ayling isn't that quick and he is not renowned for his crossing ability I wonder if Monk is thinking about playing him one of three at the back.

12 Aug 2016 10:38:01
Given that some of the transfers in that we all wanted have turned out crap in the past . Maybe one that we don't find over inspiring will turn out real good? for a change . Will reserve judgement until we see how he performs.

12 Aug 2016 11:12:57
Think he will be playing cb. Decent player but not inspiring signing. Must say I agree with signing players who can play more than one position gives more options. let's hope he shines.

12 Aug 2016 12:02:58
I may have read more into the Ayling signing than there is. Given the lack of depthhe might have been brought in as cover for the back four and not as a regular starter. I can't work out a am at the moment that might give Birmingham a game. Certainties to play would be Green; Cooper; Bartley; Taylor. (Right back- any one of three depending on fitness) Up front Roofe and hopefully Antonson not Wood. Midfield:- Hernandes. The I'm Stuck. Dave; Dallas/ Sacko, Phillips? . It's not really inspiring but who else have we got? Personally, although not a great fan I'd play Murphy but, although more controlled, that's not great either and he's not in Monk's plans. Grimes? He can play but hasn't shown much yet. Mowatt? If he doesn't score he doesn't contribute and We look seriously under powered in midfield yet again. Could be a long afternoon.

12 Aug 2016 13:19:36
you're right grimes hasn't shown much yet we have played two games give the lad a chance to get his feet under the table. wood is a must start for me. I love wood like you love bellend. that last line didn't read right. jump on that one speedy. again that didn't read right either.

12 Aug 2016 13:55:03
You are such a tart BW. Thankfully 😃.

12 Aug 2016 14:13:07
I think of Wood thou do of Belusci. We can't watch the same games. I finished my last season of football playing in the Sunday league. Wood have even struggled there.

12 Aug 2016 20:36:24
agree hess and thing is we both clearly are passionate and have a good understanding of football, that is the beauty of it two people can watch the same game and see different things, same thing has to be said about luke vardy so many managers picked him and for the life of me I can not work out what they saw but they saw something.

11 Aug 2016 22:29:53
So given our new acquisition who are your favoured back 4? Do we play Ayling as CB or RB? In the absence of Beradi I personally think LC is up to the task and will mature and improve with more game time. CT is still our best LB so who do I guess Ayling with KB or Coops? The other dilemma is of course Bamba is our Captain and Monk has publicly backed him! Thoughts?

12 Aug 2016 00:59:09
Although Ayling can play anywhere across the back its been reported he's not very quick so i'm guessing FB isn't his best so porobably better at CB.
