Reply | Championship players we could be looking to sign this summer
at 08:42 8 May 2024
Agree on Armstrong. In 2 seasons in the prem after an incredible season with Blackburn at championship level he managed 4 prem goals in over 50 games.
Seems to me to be one of those players where his level is destined to be stuck between championship and premiership
The caveat to all of this of course is if mckenna wants him then I'll be convinced |

Sarmiento goal for me. Still watching it back again and again even now. The importance, the limbs, everything about it.
Having that just a few weeks after the Leif winner against Bristol City as well. Mind blowing, that moments like that were just a couple amongst so many this season. |

The point you make on the defensive side of his game is spot on.
Was discussing it yesterday and interesting to look back at some early comments from Mckenna in the season where he stated he felt omari could be one of the best pressing attacking players in the country. Just another piece of evidence to show McKennas own abilities to identify that and also develop the player so much over the course of the season. Kudos to Omari as well of course!
Almost poetic that our opener comes from the press from Omari and winning the ball that high up the pitch.
Would be thrilled to see him return next season |

Didn't mind Mick's football when we had a fully fit firing Murphy and Didz playing off him. Murphy in 2014/15 was a joy to watch alone. Rarely seen a striker dominate his centre half opposition as frequently and as easily and itngave us a terrific platform to play higher up pitch. Other seasons less so......
Saints looked excellent at portman Road in spells but they moved the ball up the pitch a lot quicker than any other time I've seen them this season. They were appalling last night and dreadful at their place against us though |

nothing quite as soul destroying as knowing a refs ego and desire to be the main attraction will take precedent over the game |

Different types of player but I'd have Morsy over Bannan all day long! |

Ludicrous challenge to make in that manner in this big a game! Fortunate he doesn't make a lot of contact with way he leads with the right foot. For me that's the only way it might have been downgraded to yellow but never going to overturned once ref gave it on field |

That transfer list seems to suggest some financial issues to me. To list some of those senior names in addition to expected sales of edwards and taylor would suggest some serious balancing of the books |

Indeed. City's net spend on transfers is actually lower than 9 other clubs in the last 5 years. Their mass spending ended a far few years ago now to build the squad and it is largely one or two in and one or two out now as Pep is pretty ruthless and moves players on. They will of course be paying some obscene wages in comparison. Whilst they obviously have the firepower money wise, they're just a lot better run than so many clubs. |

Agreed. I see a few on social media having a pop at mckennas sub. The issue was conceding 3 mins after our second and giving them a free go at it for 15mins, along with some daft free kicks! Don't think mckenna has much choice but to throw on a defensive body at that point. |

He could have added Ben Knight, flores, Charlie brown all to this list and it still wouldn't make the point for him that he thinks he's making. All of them were pinched or wouldn't sign a contract!
McKenna has spent the majority of his career working in youth systems, I very much doubt he has a vendetta against youth players and not giving them chances. In fact he's probably about as qualified as it gets to judge what they need and then they're first team ready! |

Reply | Get crosses in, take some shots from 20+ yards
at 10:57 10 Aug 2022
Through poor finishing! We had 17 attempts on goals and at least 4 of those were good chances - leigh, humphreys twice and John jules.
I get some of the concerns about proven goalscorers in our striker ranks at the club outside of ladapo (noting I don't include Chaplin and harness in this who both can finish) but I think arguments about us not threatening are far fetched. We've had 53 attempts in 3 games! That's not through lack of crosses and shots |

Depends on the fee. I think we could do better.
He's a decent league 1 midfielder who's developed a pretty good partnership with morsy. Back up to Evans though for me and for a fee that may not be the right thing to do.
Agree hes a frustrating watch as at times he can dominate the game but he also has periods in games where his passes lose tempo (seems to sell a centre back short at least once a game) and he loses it in dangerous areas etc. |
