You’re persistent I’ll give you that…

We should go back to Denmark and have a look at that Lind who was talked about in January and Eidur Gudjohnsen’s son too. Lind plays for Silkeborg , who challenge for Europe, and has 10 goals and 4 assists in 28 games this season and Gudjohnsen plays for Lyngby, who are bottom three and have only scored 32 league goals, but has 13 goals and 1 assist in 28 games this season Both are in their early 20’s, are already scoring goals and have room to develop. Would much rather we take a chance on one of them as opposed to signing some other player who’s lost their way but was good in 2021.

We need to get out of this cycle of changing managers in the Autumn too. If Clement makes a mess of it next season and he ends up dismissed (I don’t think he will FWIW) then we need to just take the hit and wait until the Summer before the next guy takes over. Too many managers are getting tainted by association because of the garbage they inherit and by the time the next season roles around they are already fighting a tide of negativity and pessimism. Happened with Caixinha, Gio, Beale and a few dissenting voices are threatening to start a similar narrative with Clement too. The only one who’s had the sense to say I’m not touching that yet is Gerrard .

A fee that could potential reach 6.5 for Calvin Ramsay IIRC.

A strategy we desperately need to move away from.

Aberdeen have apparently set an asking price of 8 million for Miovski so that completely rules us out. Shankland would be more affordable because of his contract situation, but with where he’s at in his career just now he’s going to want to be a first choice. He also doesn’t come anywhere close to fitting the model we need to live towards either.

Still think it’s hilarious that somebody looked at Ben Davies and thought “that’s the profile of player we need to replace Calvin Bassey” 😭

Yeah that is a problem I maintain some level of hope that things will change under Koppen and Clement though.

What we need to do is go out and find our own Miovski.

A team of flakey players led by a flakey manager, but at least the football will be pleasing on the eye.

Wanting Silva back at all is wild.

Was retained for two seasons longer than he should have been but over the course he’s been a decent player for us, although he maybe never quite reached the heights many thought he initially would.

Think we need more quality than that tbh. Can’t be going into next season relying on McAusland or Matondo in any form.

Can’t believe there’s anybody who would want us to keep Silva tbh. We’ve had our fill of players who we hope can go on to show their best form next season and we need to get away from them. Completely flattered to deceive, would be too expensive to sign permanently and hasn’t shown enough to justify another attempt to loan. A body who beefed the squad out, at a time when we were really short on numbers, but a player who will be largely forgotten about and fall into the “mind him?” category in four or five years time.

Might as well be the club motto at this point. How many players over the past few years have we said that about for a variety of reasons?
