Hope so. Having a half decent long ball option up top might help and also might make (some) PL sides press a little less aggressively

Distribution a worry so far and watching clips pre-signing him seemed to suggest that his positioning and weight distribution could be an issue. Record seems decent though. We've not seen him make big saves yet but hopefully keeping them for the tight games. No point wasting them on a 5-0 thumping!

Not sure I understand this. It appears that PSXG gives either a one in sixteen chance (fbref) or a one in five chance (statsb) that both shots lead to goals. Why is that vindication of Perri?

I agree. Was just saying it would really help if we could loan him to a team that would get the best from him. Guess that is always true though!

Maybe I am being too pessimistic but I still think his appeal will be limited so we either keep him or eat a chunk of his wages. Our priority should be get him a move to a club where he can be a success, even if they offer a smaller cut of his salary. It would really help if he had value in a year!

When I say 'squad player' I am not saying he couldn't be a starter for a bottom half PL team, just that he would always be under threat of being benched

I can't say I watched Everton last season but I don't get the impression he did anything to raise him above the status of bottom half squad player

Not a lot for a top team but doubt many top teams would look at him. Surely it is a high wage for a squad player on a bottom half team?

Gotta decide if it's better to spend £4m on Jack playing for us this season or spend a couple of million on him playing for somebody else? A successful subsidised loan might improve the chances we can shift him in a year but seems unlikely (obviously sitting on our bench definitely won't help this)

Tbf I have definitely got more in common with the Hock than the Chief!

Would be even more frustrating if we hadn't got him for such a good price, right? One of our army of Red Bull bargains (though remarkably not our worst...)
Maybe once we are RB Leeds we will get to taste the other side of these deals?

Been a while since you said something interesting on here. Was thinking you’d lost your touch!

A very expensive chatgpt

Sounds like a poor man's Festa d'Elx Trophy

It is at ER. They are both our nets

They should be forced to resign Peacock-Farrell and see how the title challenge goes then!

Versace and Rob Conlon?

All I am seeing here is we should be playing Pasc up front!

What rumour? The one that Mes actually died in 2022 and his corpse gets reeled out every week (to increasingly unconvincing effect) because two lads want to stay in his swanky pad?

What about this long throw specialist?

Shame it wasn't 88.88 as then you could have split in horizontally and you both would have been happy!

You seem to have misspelt Cairns... (in eleven different ways weirdly)

Keep that talk up and I will have your mother take your phone off you young man

Alright Alfred, you are not on X now. No need for the incendiary language!

Currently above Bournemouth in the PL and only a little behind Brentford. You can hardly expect to achieve that level of success on the cheap!

The 50+ games must be pretty crucial here. I would think there are lots of managers with a better record if you made it 46 games!

Where would Ian Rush have sat in this list? A proper winger!

Piroe scored a goal. This will be the only tactical thing DF considers
