'PAOK playmaker Giannis Konstantelias has also been scouted heavily and he is regarded as a player that could be revisited at some stage.'

Caicedo had multiple Ecuador caps when we signed him. This fella has only played for their youth teams and hasn't actually featured too much in the Ecuadorian league.
I reckon he would take even longer to settle in than Caicedo, so certainly not one for the 'we need experience whilst Baleba...
West Ham away is decent enough if you come from Hackney Wick and go to Crate/any other craft beer place in the area. The atmosphere is terrible unless they're winning, although we didn't make much noise last night but I'm sure that had something to do with it being January 2nd.
However I...
Assuming Hinshelwood isn't fit to start but Pervis is...
Steele
Gross, JPvH, Kavanagh, Pervis
Baleba
Gilmour, Milner
Buonanotte
Pedro, Ferguson
Welbeck, Dahoud, Webster, Moder, Hinshelwood able to come off the bench.
Will be tough but it's still a good enough team to get a result. Especially...
Mass exodus from W1F after the Spurs second went in, when the team definitely needed our support.
No school, most off work, trains running fine. Piss poor.
Great night - up there with Newcastle & United away as the best PL games of the season.
Don’t want to start a thread or bounce an old one BUT the exodus after Spurs scored their second was pathetic. When the team really needed support. The trains were fine, most are off work, no school etc. It...
Feel a bit Football Manager saying this and fully realise it won't happen but I'd love for us to sign a left back (Barco), a right back (whoever), get rid of Webster (sorry, but he is just too injury prone and his performances do not justify the time spent out) and replace him with Matviienko...
Weird - he was booked against Arsenal, Chelsea & Wolves - who else? He was also booked against Marseille away but assuming the FA aren't including that
Not sure thinking we're roughly the fifth best team left in the competition a 'faux' inferiority complex... More just pragmatism/realism.
If the knockout rounds were populated with more AEKs and the current iteration of Ajax I'd have probably booked my flights & hotel already. Do think we have...
After the knock out round we'll probably be fifth or sixth favourites with the bookies, which feels about right to me.
We've never played a European knock-out game. Personally I'm choosing to enjoy the ride without any expectations or glances towards Dublin
I admire the optimism/delusion of anyone who is confident we'll be in Dublin. Sure, it's a possibility but there are some very strong teams with genuine European pedigree left in the competition. We have a long, long way to go
Verbruggen
Hinshelwood - JPvH - Dunk - Igor
Gross - Gilmour
Joao Pedro - Lallana - Mitoma
Ferguson
Welbeck
Adingra
Baleba
Milner
Buonanotte
Moder
Dahoud
All as options off the bench. The squad is looking a lot stronger, Pervis also features in today's training video so hopefully has an outside...
Changed the game when he came on at half time vs Burnley and completely ran the show last night. The control WBG & Gross give us in midfield is insane. Have to say he is streets ahead of Dahoud in terms of impact - strangely saw a few on here suggest Dahoud was the better player
So RDZ isn't sure Joao Pedro & Mitoma are able to so start...
Adingra has started every single game for us since Marseille. Bearing in mind he's also been away with Ivory Coast in October & November, he's surely due a rest at some point? Ferguson also looked exhausted by the end in Athens...
All of Verbruggen's saves were fairly regulation but he looked very solid and was a calming influence on what was a nervy night.
I'd probably give it to Igor as he offered a lot in terms of building attacks as well as defending very solidly. Dunk, Hinsh & Veltman were all solid 8s too...
