January Transfer Window 2026

Never trust anyone whos good at set pieces to teach set pieces.

You cant teach talent and talented people dont understand why other people canr do what they can.

Theres the story's of Glenn waddle when he was a manager loosing his rag in training because he'd tell players to do certain passes and they couldnt do them. So he'd get the ball do the pass and put it on a six pence and just go do that. Apparently it was one of the reasons he struggled as a manager because he expeced his players to be as good as he was.
This is true, there's a story how he got exasperated with a young David Beckham failing to execute a set piece routine and Hoddle patronised him by showing him how it's done acting like it was a piece of cake. Think I read that story in Stan Collymores autobiography which was one of the better autobiographies I've read
 
For all the previous posts. If we don’t at least sign a functioning right back, in this window, it isn’t because there isn’t one on our tiny planet, willing to come here.

It’s because our new owners have no ambition for us.

Nobody owning this club, with the intention to improve, would go, yeah JOB, we’re sorted at right back.
