Also, good young forwards are a dime a dozen.
Good young defensive midfielders aren't.
Having said that I still wouldn't sell him at this stage - he'll be worth much more in a year or two.
The whole time he's been here he's had a tendency to speak before he thinks. Some on here see it as "refreshing and honest", I always thought it was tactless and leaves no room for a change of position.
He did it when talking about referees, he did it when talking about Trossard Sanchez and...
Voted out because it really feels toxic and he's the common denominator.
But it won't happen before the end of the season at this point. We'll probably get a "mutual consent" a couple of days after the last game.
Have there been any actual credible rumours about selling Mitoma? Or is it just fear mongering?
Seems like it would be moronic timing to sell him now given the state of the team and the fact he's barely played this year. His value is at its lowest.
At the end of the season with CH we were the worst. Horrendous form, we were rescued by dubious refereeing against Cardiff in other matches robbing them of points.
This is worse than anything Potter served up though. With Potter we created chances, just couldn't finish them. With Potter we very...
Some loose passing but we're showing more ambition so far.
Offiah had a couple of chances to go on a run forward so far, looks a little nervous to commit to them - understandable on his debut.
I like that we're giving the kids a chance though it feels a bit like were resigned to that being that for the season. Come on Odel and Mark, seize this opportunity!
Will be interesting to see how Adingra-JP-Buonanotte line up as they could be interchangeable behind O'Mahoney.
Also we historically haven't struggled anywhere near as much as other clubs in moving on our deadwood. At the very least we almost always find a loan club for them.
Dahoud hasn't impressed at Stuttgart, but there will be other clubs willing to take a chance on an ex Dortmund midfielder and...
Gilmour Is great at what he does, which is intricate pass and move, receiving the ball from the defence and turning to ping a pass out and start an attack.
He needs someone next to him with physical presence and pace, to make up for his shortcomings. That could be Baleba, but Baleba is so...
Watched Hull v Ipswich.
Sarmiento played the last half an hour. Well involved and had I think 4 shots, but without scoring any. Including a real sitter.
The star of the show was Hutchinson for Ipswich, right sided forward on loan from Chelsea. Looks really promising.
Whilst I'm not greatly impressed by de Zerbi at the minute, It does cross my mind that we had similar runs of poor results under Potter before everything came together. Do we have the patience to wait and see?
The squad seems to be unbalanced still.
We have a tonne of young players, many of whom clearly have something about them but not quite at the level or the consistency needed.
We have a few old heads who seem to really be on the down slope now.
Who is there in the middle in the mid-late 20s...
I thought Barco has been one of our better players apart from the error for the third.
Moder and Baleba are all over the shop leaving too much space for City to run into. Veltman tripping over himself time and again. We have absolutely no width but yet still getting dominated through the...
Gross looks absolutely knackered.
And Veltman has been so clumsy of late.
The thing is we have so many talented players, all the ingredients are there for a great team... two years from now. Need some experience in, in the summer. Some 27-30 year olds who can cope with pressure.
