In a way yes I agree BUT he has given away two penalties in two games. He needs to become a bit more controlled in his own area. A wonderful talent though and one can now see why we invested in him.
That's not the way of football these days. Players take time to bed in and for the sums you mention you do not get PL class by a long way. Quality proven PL players under 30 will not be on their way to Brighton. Their salaries are way beyond our range.
No telling what you are going to get with Webbo. He could be MoM or alternatively something less desirable. We are not going to get anybody better who is prepared to sit on the bench. Next season Dunk will not likely be a starter and we will have spent on a quality CB
Forest are unbeaten and will be tough. Mitoma must start, not necessarily for what he will do but for what he might do. That will give space and opportunity for others ie Pedro who can also be our matchwinner as we know.
This young lady smiled at me and I smiled back, it would have been rude not to. It was in HSBC bank at Holborn Circus. I thought 'I know you' and then when I sat down at the small writing table I found out who it actually was. There was an incomplete paying in slip for a deposit account in...
It's all about his finishing for me. If that continues to improve he'll move to the top of the charts and yes next summer we'll be unable to keep him. That will be fair enough. it's the way it works in today's football world. It looks like we are already seriously looking for his replacement.
Well this move has been rumoured for a long while and no other PL team has come in for him. That should say something about his performance level and the the fee that we received.
The way football is today we only need Milner to do an hour and then he can be replaced. We have a good few options. With all the youngsters around it is good to have someone 'street wise' on the pitch to help set the tone. It is interesting that amongst all the young talent our new manager...
Yes Radacanu's not played doubles before and it was very much a 'gimmick' entry. Her next opponent in the singles is ranked about 120 in the world I believe so it is a match she should win on current form.
I was not surprised when I heard the news. I mean she decided not to play in the...
Yes we are in a relegation battle from the first game, like we were last season and the season before. The idea is to get out of the battle as soon as possible. Last season we removed any realistic threat of relegation after about half a dozen games which was a great achievement. This coming...
I don't see it that we 'flog our best assets'. Players have moved on because they have wanted to go and the club had little or no realistic choice. That is the way it works these days. If a top 6 club wants a player he will be gone, by hook or by crook, and his pay will at least double...
It could of course be the Ipswich owners leaking to the media to put the pressure on McKenna to sign a new contract!
His odds are still quite short for our job.
We won't have the distraction of Europe. We'll have a manager whose focus will be on making a good impression. The players will be motivated to achieve. Nobody will be leaving and players will join. We have plenty of talent in the squad already. We have teams up from the Championship with...
Wasn't it said that any manager is potentially 6 games from the sack? That is especially so in these times. McKenna needs to move on from Ipswich, the Premier League is now a graveyard for promoted clubs.
He sounds very promising. My main concern is that as a manager he seems only to have...
