As boring as it is indecisive, predictable and slow
Get Kane fit and put who you want behind him, just not those two at the same time.

I kind of agree.
Fully aware of how capable they all are. Do they compliment each other perfectly? I'm not so sure.
Could lay the blame on the dog shit crossing from our full backs, or the lack of penetrating or instinctive balls from central midfield. It's the whole unit that need to work as a team of course.

August determines things now? It's a long, old season, where the full squad will be needed. If he decides to stick around and continue to be a part of what Poch is building, even if not as a starter, as oppossed to fucking off somewhere to, start matches yes, but contest getting mid-table or winning some minor league no one cares about, does that really reflect poorly on him? Not for me.

That he just wants to sit around and earn his easy money, rather than continue to contribute best he can, is just your assumption. Also not for me.

Assuming we're selling Rose, our agenda currently is:
- Getting 5 players in
- Sorting Eriksen's situation
- Sorting Toby's situation
- Shifting N'Koudou and Janssen

There's a ton still to do. You can take away from that number of 5 incomings however many youngsters, Poch feels are ready to really step up and be a part of the squad. We're looking at a turnover in the squad of 5-8 players either way. "Painful summer" comment or not that's a big shift. And you think getting Lamela gone is in any way, shape, or form is on anybody's mind? Lamela who by all accounts is well-liked within the squad, happy with his bit part role, has Poch's trust, and reading between the lines a bit of a mentor to Foyth (who Poch clearly wants to develop), plus he might be neat to have around to integrate Lo Celso, should we get that one over the line.

Thinking Lamela is or even should leave is just plain your feelings towards the player showing, while completely ignoring what is actually happening at the club.

While I absolutely agree that -
- selling Lamela is not priority by any means
- moving on Jannsen and N'Koudou is more important

I would not be against selling him at all. He should be a squad player meaning he should be dependable when we need to call him up. Last season (and number of seasons before as well!) he absolutely was not. When in Mar, Apt, May we needed someone to fill the place of injured / banned players... He was inured.

What is the value of him for the team like this?

I have defended him for so many times but now I don't see many real arguments what is the benefit of keeping him around anymore.

Based on ITK BS I am more sure Eriksen is staying than ever before...

Silly season really does one to the brain, doesn't it? It's like drunk logic at 2 in the morning with your buddies but every day all day.

If Eriksen is staying while signing a new contract even with a release clause, i'm happy with that.

IF Eriksen is staying without a new contract, i have a huge issue with that.

Oh look another disagree from Art Vandelay Art Vandelay for the post above.

Pos reps for post 10
Neg reps for post 4

A fairly common ratio.

But apparently I’m in the minority and NSFB is in this group referred to as “we” who all disagree with me.

“Cancer” post incoming.....3......2.......1

:kaneear:


Edit: 11 pos reps
Edit: 12 pos reps

Well this is awkward.

That’s nice dear, I just didn’t agree with you, don’t care that people did.

I’m more worried about your wellbeing if their rumour of the day comes to fruition at some point and Christian re-signs. That’d be an ostrich sized egg on your face dear boy.

Blimey, he's finally returned from the bush after going 'walkabout' half-way through the humiliation dished out by Eoin's boys. :dembelelol:

More I’ve finally stopped laughing that the first time you win something you didn’t even win. You tied twice.

Essentially got lucky they made a tie breaker most boundaries and not most wickets.

But well done, you can now sit at the big boys table.
Faf and Kane sitting at the kiddies table still.
