I agree that nobody else will hire Farke in the PL. Two relegated seasons doesn't make a great CV. But I do think he's qualified and able. The two relegations weren't entirely his fault. I'm confident that he'd do better with Leeds. We know the 9ers will invest more into the squad than Norwich did....

Totally agree and it's a good thing that Farke has to prove himself with us before anyone else will sit up and take notice. Also promotion alone (were it to happen) wouldn't be enough to change his standing in the game, which means a pretty stellar first season back in the PL would be required for ...

Oh I see your point

I hadn't noticed that.

Ok 3rd of 80 teams.

My assessment of Farke is based solely on his 46 games in charge of us and I'd say he's made a sterling effort to get us to the brink of promotion after a very challenging pre season. Of course others may think differently. In context of the Premier League nobody will touch him and the media know t...

Sour kraut maybe ?

Very good

andrewjohnsmith wrote: ↑Tue May 21, 2024 8:46 pm Does that include Norwich? They conceded 64. That is awful. Almost 1.5 goals conceded per game.

The only reason I looked it up was because I wondered about Ipswich. They only conceded 57.

Reading I think it was, 64 I think the only one above them.

Jammy 07 wrote: ↑Tue May 21, 2024 8:24 pm Fantastic work this season from Farke and it's only his previous PL relegations which are clouding peoples judgement.

That's being extremely generous Jammy.

He has a lot to prove if promoted and for our sake I hope he's learned a lot.

Not something we will have to worry about.

But no not mentioned at all.

Interesting list of potential targets from Matt Law (Chelsea Phil Hay) But Chelsea are expected to go for a younger and, in their view, more progressive coach with Stuttgart’s Sebastian Hoeness, Girona’s Michel, Ipswich Town’s Kieran McKenna, who has been targeted by Brighton, and Leicester City’s E...

Roberts only played 300 minutes.

It's basically impossible either way to judge a player on such limited game time.

He's proven before he is top class at this level.

Wish him well.

Still talking about LUFC

I assume you're saying these would be poor buys ? Was being cheeky But yeah I think if promoted they'd be poor signings. Sargent spends a lot of time with the physio and Dortmund fans don't rate Wolf at all. Only thing about Wolf is he's a free agent so cheap Sargent would be expensive and get us e...

May require a bit of a name change but congratulations pjm you have started our Summer transfer and squad discussion thread
Bring back Orta

We've lost 0 games after taking the lead. Southampton have lost 3. Southampton have conceded 63 goals which is the 2nd most of any Playoff side since the division was changed to The Championship. Lot of praise for how they've taken us apart before (that is on the manager to fix). But if you are play...

Union Berlin confirm Aaronson is returning to us after they survived relegation on the last day

Brendan Aaronson and Jack Harrison may be back next season . . . .

We'll see

If people want to do it I'm happy to run it but it's such a large amount of work it needs to be worth it.

Wont be offended either way.

We shall see.

Probably need another 5-10 more atleast.

Piroe or Bamford My answer will come as a shock, has to be Piroe. He's been one of our best players against Southampton last time and Norwich. His confidence must be high now and his performance vs Norwich was as good as anything Paddy has done for years. He needs backing now as he is the future an...

Raphinha & his agent are probably in the UK negotiating his next deal to a top PL club.
