So you know better than RDZ?

Spot on. I hope he does well for another 3 or so seasons then he might be ready but we will be looking to develop from where we are and Liam (I do love the guy just to be clear) isn't at that level yet. Amorim or Slot are the levels we should be looking at.

Agreed. 36 teams in a league?? It's like setting up a league in Sensible Soccer (one for a certain generation) not the format of a proper European competition.

Alex Crook has clearly got that information from somewhere near the club, and then the writer of the article has fluffed it out with conjecture. I suspect we will sign 2 max 3 "prem ready" players starting with KDH. Would be quite shocked if Adingra left. I suspect Mitoma is the only one we are...

I hope Sam is the first from the Albion to say to them "No thanks I am too good for you, I am going repay the Albion for the faith they showed in me and stay a bit longer, therefore waiting for a proper club to move to like Liverpool". Sadly we all know how life and football work. If they want...

I don't think Potter will ever be our Head Coach again. I am not convinced there is any bad blood (although I have spoken to people close to the club who say he did speak to Chelsea in the summer before he went, this could easily be bollocks of course), I do think that Bloom and Barber will want...

Whilst I wanted a CM like KDH and am disappointed we look like we are done for the window, I don't get all the "back RDZ", and "he's going to walk" nonsense. If he walked he'd kill his chances at a big job and frankly he signed up to our club and the way we do things so asking for 4 first team...

If he walks he will massively reduce his chances of getting a big job.

I think there is some truth in assertion that Southgate is limited tactically however, when he tries to go a bit more attacking we look vulnerable because (despite some saying this is the best crop of players we've had) defensively it really isn't. Our current back 4 isn't anywhere near; Neville...

For me, he doesn't have the pace to be a winger in this league and doesn't have the touch to adapt to play in a Potter team. His goals were ace and he's clearly a nice bloke but I think it's time to move on.

WOW! We go down if one player gets injured? I agree we could do with a striker but this is well over the top don't you think?

We really don't need another striker that is well under 6ft though do we? I know he's a good player but I would have thought we are looking for a 6ft + striker like a more mobile Murray which I'd suggest is why we are finding it hard. Maupay is as good as Bowen. We don't need both. Also there...

I am not saying we will get anyone in but the fact he hasn't just said. "No we won't be bringing anyone in" or "It's most likely going to be a quiet day tomorrow" suggest to me there is a possibility but the club just won't commit in case nothing happens. I don't think we are not trying.

I feel like people really underestimate a lot of our squad.

Yes I know but he will know that as well. As will TB.

Has anyone actually thought that the reason we have gone for Potter is he is intelligent, progressive adaptable and calm? He won't just rock up and have us trying to tear Man City and Liverpool a new one. He will know this league is a MASSIVE challenge and step up for him and I think he will...

This is a joke, right? He wouldn't get a league one job these days.

I totally agree. What I suppose Bloom has looked at is that Hughton didn't seem to realise this, perhaps Ashworth helped point it out. Do you think we could have played Propper or Bissouma in a number 10 role?

Good article, tactically very interesting. I disagree that the problem with 4-3-3 was player performances. I felt like that formation change wasn't coupled with enough of a philosophy shift. What we did really well in the Championship was defend solidly then break swiftly and effectively...
