Reggie_Perrin I have this worry, rational or not, that once we seriously get linked with someone shit managers / directors immediately start calling offer g more money just because Bielsa likes the player.
Mitaman Reggie_Perrin Yes, its going to happen. I think the odd decent signing with a load of decent young lads is a better long-term strategy.
CharlieG Still need a centre back. Maybe two. Just like last year, I'm panicking, a bit but, after seeing what happened with White, I have faith in Orta and Bielsa.
doggybag CharlieG Agree, not a lot of time left to bed in a new CB. Who can he pair with Cooper if he can't get anyone before September 12th? Struijk?
king_of_the_slums doggybag Struijk looked ready to me, granted at DM, but CB's his preferred position I believe and he looks to have a decent pass and strength. Can't be too far behind White and they must be fine-tuning him now to play. Still need a back up, Berardi out, Ayling's the only cover.
Reggie_Perrin doggybag the kid looked fine to me. Maybe it's Cooper who will lose out if we fancy a bit of Koch.
space king_of_the_slums Berardi out I don't think he's been given a shirt number this season. Poor cunt. Hope Radz is looking after him. It'll be a real shame if this is game over.
Mike_Jones Berardi's fine, they sorted a contract out for him, Radz said he'd make sure he was supported. I thought PsychoBerra was older, he's only 32, so he'll be able to come back, he'll get a chance in the PL circus.
Mitaman Mike_Jones Thats good it would have been a terrible way to go out. I hope they can give him a coaching role if his injury proves too serious.
Reggie_Perrin Just seen the squad numbers. No 5 or 8. Assume Rodrigo will get 8 and we need some Koch at 5.
Reggie_Perrin Mitaman I always thought that of Andy Hughes too. Rary do you see that passion and dedication. 1st team coach at Wendys now.
SardineTree White about to sign new contract at BHA. Sad, but best of luck to the lad. He's an intelligent footballer, hope he knows what he's doing!!
doggybag So he got a big chunk of change, first team football and a buy-out clause if they get relegated. Just guessing. Oh well.
