Window is far from over so I don't why people are already making critical assumptions on what the squad is going to consist of at this point. If you're not satisfied with the recruitment at the end of the window, by all means gripe away but at...

Which is a sensible position to take. I'm not sure why the same argument isn't being applied to Michael Keane who also "just isn't very good".

On what wage - that stops us bidding for a good player - Dads Army FC .... slowest team in the Prem ....

I'm not sure the choice is that binary. You may have marginally less to spend on a RW, I suppose but that is literally the task this summer right across the whole squad, we need players everywhere. Keane is a liability, he should never play for...

Same song and dance for EIGHT years now. He will play, he will cost us points and he will make the players around him worse. Can't believe the "don't mind him as 4th choice" crowd on here. We'd be spending money just to weaken the squad.

By the looks of things we are going to have to compromise all over the pitch given the links so far. The only position we are looking like spending any real money on is CF (which is obviously the correct move if we have a limited budget). Our...

If the first team lineup reads Tarkwoski and Branthwaite in the middle and O’Brien at RB, and we get an injury at CB, who comes off the bench? Keane. So call it whatever you want, but people implying that he’s not going be playing much because...

Football really is run entirely for the casual, tv watching global audience now, isn't it? These "innovations" are more about entertaining people with zero attention span than they are about sport. Football is about a decade away from being...

Sigh

Weird that that's the bit you focused on, but OK. Do you also accept that a fourth choice CB is more likely to play than a fourth choice striker or goalkeeper? Or are the semantics the most important thing?

It's fairly straightforward. If we have four centre forwards but only play one, three forwards would have to be injured or suspended to play our fourth choice CF. However, because we play two centre halves, only two of them would have to be...

4th choice is a myth when there’s two CB positions. He’s one maybe two injuries suspensions away from playing in the first team. He’s effectively first or second reserve at best. That means he will be playing, and when Keane plays mistakes happen...

He'd probably still be better than Keane with only one leg.

If Sherif goes in to the season as 3rd choice then our transfer strategy has failed in my view. He is far from ready. We had 4 strikers last season and at 1 point 3 of them were injured. Chermiti barely got a sniff and he is a lot further along...

Or even a hair's breadth
