Source? Permanent or loan? Never heard of him tbf - the one who's at Palace?

Good for him and bad for Wednesday. Also really frustrating for us surely! The northern echo guys said that we were really interested in rohl but thought that we wouldn’t be able to get him without a massive fight over compensation which would drag on forever. Now it seems like he’s just going...

To be fair, by hanging on for that long we squeezed Atlanta for a really big fee - Latte has not played great since getting there and certainly wouldn't go for that money now. Sounds like the club had a replacement ready to go (Strelec presumably?) but Carrick insisted on Iheanacho

I enjoyed visiting Pinacoteca di Brera - it’s the main art gallery - and it’s only a short and quite nice walk from the Duomo

The thing that's changed for me is that a few weeks ago I was certain that Carrick would leave if we didn't make the playoffs. Increasingly I think he'll stay... The more distance I get from the run-in I do think there were some mitigating factors this season - injuries to the defense, selling...

Obviously he’s still a new signing and it can be tough to join a new team in January, and I hope that after a good pre-season he’ll be better next year! But so far I’ve been so so underwhelmed by Whittaker. Lacks pace and drifts through games. Seems like a proper ‘moments’ player and I’m...

Surely if he is sacked we should be all over this?? Will be a free agent so no compensation, worked successfully with Scott before, & will have won the Championship 3 times..

I honestly think performance-wise he has. I think our squad is one of the best in the division - certainly it was seen that way at the start of the season, it felt like every week in August-October opposition managers would talk up how much quality we had. Carrick himself said it’s the best...

So disingenuous! Bristol City never expected to be up there before the season - clearly overperforming relative to their squad. Coventry had an awful start to the season and did sack there manager, before charging up the league... Carrick's massively underperformed given the quality of our squad...

Immediately after the game it’s worth checking out the Bermondsey beer mile if that’s your scene. The taprooms generally close around 11ish though.

Hammersmith not too far from KX

I think he’s great against teams that sit in (eg shef wed at the end of last season) and not so great in games where it’s more competitive at midfield. Our best passer imo. Still think he’s a good option for us to have in the squad for sure

The guys at NTT20 have made their championship predictions for this year if anyone’s interested. They’re usually impressively accurate - e.g. they got hammered for having Ipswich in 3rd(?) last season straight after promotion and they ended up going one better! They have us in 6th this year...

I really like Coburn but he’s still young, got a lot of time to come good. He’s clearly not first choice and I think I’d rather we loan him out (to a top half league one side? Or a side like Plymouth again if they’re still interested) to get a full season under his belt than have him sit on the...

His record in England is unbelievable, such a wonderful player. Just a shame he’s never quite figured it out overseas! Should play every home test though imo
