Obviously, Piroe is not up to the system we play.

I have no doubt Piroe will come on when the game is hopefully won.

Maybe, or caught the flu from DCL?

And change the way we play to accommodate one player?

I think we paid £16 million for him.

If Farke has no intention of using him then he should have been sold last summer, before his value plummeted.

This is not doing the club, or Piroe any favours.
12M I think

Hope that is the case & not a reoccurring injury.

Yes, but just think of the upgrades in the summer. Our squad will be even stronger next season.

I guess Piroe may have caught the same thing but is further along?

I really don't see why we've retained Piroe, Tanaka and Gnonto, Leon?

That's a lot of money to be writing off by not selling them. At the same time we've blown about £50 million on Longstaff,, Perri and Okafor.

Okafor is showing real signs of improvement.

But, for example, we might end up selling Bogle, whose my player of the season so far, to balance the books.

Poor business imo

QUite a strong line-up
Pace & quality

No Ampadu or Gruev as an established holding midfielder in there could be a concern.

I'm unsure we've blown £50m, we needed a squad which we current have, James.

Okafor & Longstaff have scored goals & had their moments,

Possibly protecting him a little. Derby put in a few heavy tackles and Birmingham may go down the same route.

Still no young players on the bench in the cup is disheartening for the future.
