Mooy owned the midfield that dreadful (bloody cold) day in Huddersfield during our first season in the Prem when we had one of our worst away performances. I think we took the Greyhound off at half time - AK flounce? One of our group called him the puppet master. He looked unstoppable that day.

Super player. Love watching him rampaging forward. Has a very bright future and we don't need to sell (thanks Tony). They can all just beggar off.

I hadn't even got through this thread before Brian Bloody Owen popped up to debunk the Mirror article. Goddamit.

Have teams worked Rashid out a bit after the world cup? They seem to target him more than last season. May be less of a novelty?

Of course it is. But it's not in every club that there is a sea change in approach to playing style. Some of last seasons "nailed on" starters might now not fit into the new style. That's where the interesting debate is occurring I think.

It's a conundrum isn't it. If any of last years signing step up, there will be real selection headaches. And what about Propper playing further forward if we sign a central midfielder?

Intriguing to see where GP deploys Gross this season.

Chap I know is pretty grounded. No idea of Ali J is.

Chatting to an Iranian I know in Tunbridge Wells last week. Didn't find out much that we don't anyway know but: - those Iranian fans are mad about him (no sh1t) - they follow him everywhere - he played a bit of a blinder in the non-game at Pompey - has been reassured by Potter and feels he has...

Stade de Clad. Guffaw

Drinkwater went to Japan with the Chelsea squad but not to the more recent Austria trip. Not sure if that means anything.

Blocking this tedious bore now. Ruined the thread.

Kosh Doonhamer7 NSC at it's diverting and informative best. Thank you

Just out of interest, how do you know it hasn't been a priority?

Are we all happy with this? Feels like a good signing, but our budget (seems ridiculous to say this) puts us in the bracket who have to take more risks with signings. No proof that he'll thrive at Prem level, but better this gamble than solely rely on the legendary, but ageing, GM or Potter's...

It is when you do it time and time and time again.

First away point in first away game. A goal from open play but a mix up at the back allows Watford to score. 1-1

Lack of pace up front still an issue - Andone looked like he might enjoy this formation.

Was at Middlesex v Kent last night at Lords. Kent fans very lairy and unpleasant in the ground and very yobby on the tube. Not pleasant and a bit of a surprise.

Need Smith early. Looked nervous when he came in, but settles quickly.
