Live Match Discussion 2022/23

[Templeton Peck]

I ain’t believing shit about our chances in the Championship. A lot of folks thought we’d have a good chance to come straight back up in 2012/2013, too.

League’s a fuckin’ tar pit innit.

Great squad (they can't all leave), loads of money and Rob Edwards in charge. What's not to like?

We'd likely lose Neves, Moutinho, Nunes, Bueno, RAN, Semedo, Jonny, Sarabia, Neto, Pod, Raul, Sa, Adama, Lemina, Silva and Cunha (out on loan, he isn't going to want to play in the Chump) along with the manager.

No doubt we'd get a lot of money in, the owners asset strip the cash to pay for loans and put it up for sale.

We are left with Steve Davis in charge and a first team of:

Bentley
Lembikissa, Collins, Kilman, ???
Gomes
Cundle Boubacar
Chiquinho Sasa Campbell
​

Fucking grim times.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

How on earth has Gakpo not been booked for diving?

Just apply the laws consistently FFS.

Tbf, it's early days but Edwards seems to be doing a decent job at Luton, I say that having never seen them play or what their recent results have been.

Think Bueno, Lemina and Neto will stay. Neto has a lot to prove now. We won't need to sell and it's a question of what other teams are willing to pay. Cunha might stay too.

The players won't want to play in the Chump.

 

[Tredman]

The players won't want to play in the Chump.

Well they should play better now then.

 

[Templeton Peck]

The players won't want to play in the Chump.

Might not have a choice.

 

[Johnny75]

That's not how things work though, particularly when Mendes is the agent and the owners want out.

See above

 

[Tredman]

If we do go down from this position then it’s on them - if Mendes can get rid of them for decent money then that’s all the better.

That's exactly what will happen.

 

[The Bear]

I don't think Neto would leave. He's not had much game time recently and I don't think clubs would take a risk on him for the sort of money we'd want. I doubt he'd kick up a stink either, when we plucked him from doing naff all at Braga/Lazio.

You're dreaming if you think a player who's shown he's PL class would play at Chump level with Mendes as his agent.

 

[Tredman]

Arsenal have wanted him for several windows, we'd sell him for maybe 20m possibly less

 

[Tony Towner]

I think a few would go on loan for a season, some to get rid of the wages, others with the hope we can bring them back. Neto a prime candidate for the latter. Still not convinced we don't have a relegation opt out for Cunha

 

[Banjo]

Villa 2-0 up at Stamford Bridge and looking pretty comfortable with 20 mins to go. Incredible really to think how well they've done since they sacked Gerrard.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Villa are a team that are well organised and everyone knows what their job is. Compare that to our current shit show.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Villa have better players than us.

Right down the spine, Martinez, Mings (yes really), Ramsey and Watkins are far better than what we have.

 

[prawnking]

Mind the gap, indeed
