Did anybody see the thing from James Collins recently talking when him and Dunne signed for Villa and what Martin O'Neill said!? It's NSFW for anyone searching for it! Think it's originally from Under the Cosh.

People watched it. Plenty of dreadful performances. The issue is I have watched the games since and I still would like to see Sa back in. If Sa plays like that again we are screwed regardless.

Totally, I was trying to find where Johnstone was first mentioned on here. And it was in or around August 2023 in looks like. At the time I had highlighted GK and CB as major needs for an improvement, and then when Johnstone was being mentioned (initially from GFFH) I was pointing out he wasn't...

Yes. 3 bad games are against better sides than Forest and Brentford. Villa are a very good side and Johnstone didn't make a save. Overall Sa has had a better career and actually been an okay Prem starter. Johnstone is an unathletic journey man with slow footwork. There is only one area where he...

Anyone thinking any sort of return to the championship could be good in anyway, has lost track of reality. The way to survive as a not elite side in the Prem is to have a solid core of players who are complimented by a couple of star players who can elevate you on certain days against the other...

Arguably we are the most successful. I know there was Roma and AC Milan, but they didn't match the successful prior eras really. We looked like "doing a Girona" (better examples exist but whatever) of trying to break out of a prior bracket of expectation. Turns out we were merely doing a...

The depth is the issue. The downgrade of last seasons Sa to Johnstone is a bigger downgrade than Kilman to any of the other CBs we have, as far as I am concerned. The issue for me, is whilst I was happy with Mosquera given the way he had seemingly developed, I still expected some kind of CB...

The only hope I have of them acting. Is the finances tied up in the signings. They won't have calculated them against lose of Prem Revenue, and so will hopefully panic and do everything to keep that revenue.

Well this round of it has failed. A quick scan it seems only us and Reading are the remaining majority owned by Chinese based owners or firms. Not sure about wider Europe. But the country's change of stance on football has massively hindered us. It seems Fosun at least have tried to make the...

The difference for me is that Sa has played at a better level/ceiling than Johnstone ever has. Sa has lost his form, he may (get that is big on how he looked) get some of it back. Regardless a keeper in January should be a priority.

We could try King. It might motivate the players to press and block every shot, knowing they have a traffic cone in net.

Decent isn't the level needed. Not that it was you, but can't believe there was anyone that had watched him last year and thought he would be an upgrade. I personally would be putting Sa back in regardless. Johnstone is stiff, unathletic, slow and ponderous at this level too often and that is...

I think he is detrimental to what we are currently trying to do personally. Plays very deep and that isn't what you want when trying to play and press high like we had tried. Metrics wise he was the worst starting keeper heading into the weekend, and he was one of the worst last year. I said...

This at least ends the plucky Wolves not winning because they had such a tricky start narrative.

He isn't the answer though and never should have been at 10m. Absolutely terrible team planning and transfer policy. Whilst early he was already in the bottom 3 of keeper metrics heading into today. Any new manager coming in will want a better keeper and then they now have one we spent £10mil on...

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/oct/04/wolves-lose-essence-balance-top-flight-status-for-little-outlay Not familiar with the author but it's nice to actually see this sort of view of the club is being shown.

Th A massive amount of straws. That's a manager with a record of over 200 games at the time and highly thought of, coming in and changing the style and embedding new players though. Versus O'Neil who that same club actively didn't want doing that, who is now on his 2nd year and arguably...

Yeah excellent goal. Had only seen a couple of games of his before they signed him, but my mate rated him and he is a Sporting fan, so it's not easy for him to credit Porto.

Potter is on the MNF build up and they asked him about next roles and he said "I would prefer club football and am open to anything really." We certainly fit the anything category, and we are a club, so...you're telling me there's a chance!?

I think Gomes is more a future prospect though so not one I am too worried about yet. Played over a 125 less games from the looks of it. Issue is I think the talk was that if Neto leaves we were signing a like for like starter unless I have not remembered what GFFH said.
