Lanolin's latest activity

Could cope with him and Beto if we bring in a good winger or two.

We don't. We might want to, but we don't have to.

Yeah as I said that season was good, just pointing out that some people seem to talk about him as if he's a guaranteed source of goals when actually at the highest level he has only actually had one noteworthy season and even that only brought 10...

There's a weird recency bias/forgetfulness with Mitrovic. He's not a bad player but people keep talking about it like he's a guarantee of goals when there's only his most recent season in the league that was particularly good, and even that...

I think even if the squad really was that bad the same applies. Finishing around the European places really isn't a particularly big ask if you make a couple of good decent signings, even for a newly promoted side or whatever. Sides like Forest...

Yeah there's definitely a fair bit of naivete from fans about how links end up being reported I think. It certainly isn't just journalists randomly linking players to clubs on a whim, there's generally a reason why they appear (and it's not...

I don’t think targets reported in the press are just made up names. However, I think stuff ends up in the press if the players agent, selling club and buying club want it to be there. Every club will be scouting 100’s, if not 1000’s, of players...

Hiya mate. If I could go into the squad with a fully loaded uzi and happily get rid of anyone who I deemed not good enough and then replace them with whoever I wanted, I would and Keane would be one of the fellas getting uzi'd. But I can't, I...

I think we can take it as a given that he would be on less money if he stayed. In an ideal world you're always improving in every position but realistically I just don't see how we would do that this summer with everything else we need to do and...

The childish obsession comes from us watching him for the last eight years.

It's just realism. I'd love him to disappear and us go and sign someone great to replace him but the reality is that we would be very likely to just sign someone who is at best as good as he is and so be absolutely no better off. There's an...

How much would McAtee go for? With Boyland suggesting the £30m fee for Delap was doable and that we could be in for as many as 10 players, it's hard to see us signing both McAtee and Doak. There might be one "push the boat out" domestic...

I'd be wary of spending that much money on McAtee to play in a position he's never played at the top level personally. When you add in that Doak has never really played at the top level at all it would be quite a risk to bring both of them in for...

I don't think Pep really sees players in traditional positions. He has a set formation but essentially asks players to play a system rather than a position. Essentially players just fill spaces on the pitch.

Yeah I'm not sure he is a right winger specifically, it's more that I assume that's the position we're looking to recruit for. We have Alcaraz, Ndiaye, and McNeil for the positions behind the striker so far, much as I'd love for us to add...
