A bit like watching us at Manchester City is this.

Recall Hountonji and Ramsay in January.

Aye, that'll do it!

Seeing as we're on spoilers - the last one I saw his lad killed him, didn't he?

So everyone thought... Hence the title of the latest series!

Well done giving the ending away It went massively downhill after season 4 and the first sequel was just horrendous.

I thought everyone knew, tbh, as it was years ago now!

As I said, I've watched the first three episodes of 'Resurrection' and it's as silly as ever!

fidelcastro

I watched the first three episodes on a streaming site, but after that, future episodes had been blocked.

Tbh, the show was never as good after his cover had been blown and that ridiculous ending of carrying his sister's body through the hospital.

It's still good escapism for an hour or so though!

If the £18m fee reported is clause heavy it be something like £10m in one more league appearance. People can call the theory nonsense but I’m not seeing a more plausible theory being provided.

I provided one earlier.

fidelcastro

If, and I still think it's a big if, Parker thought that Tresor would benefit the team, then I don't believe any more money owed to Genk would matter that much.

The most logical explanation is that he just doesn't rate him as highly as the players he himself signed.

I’m sorry but that’s nonsense. We are not spending big money on a 2-3 year project.
We needed a striker badly for the present.

Indeed. The implication there is that we've spent 20 million on a player to help us get back out of the Championship.

I can't believe that was what he was bought for.

I'm not salivating but equally I'm not wetting my knickers off the back of one poor game out of 7 in this division.

The bottom line is, he just doesn't look a threat.

Ramsey/Adewumyi or any one that could play a role if needed.

Would they have had to be included in the 25, due to age?

fidelcastro

Possibly/probably- who knows but in that case if you are not going to use him then why include him in the 25 when others could have? It just feels like it’s unnecessary drama.We all want the best for him and for him to be a massive success for us, but if he is not fit or unwell or whatever then jus...

fidelcastro

I'm fairly sure we'd have liked to have loaned him out, but for whatever reason we were unable to.

Whose fault that is, I wouldn't like to guess.

fidelcastro

After the first 6 games I think it was right people questioning how Broja would get into the side. We might find a better goalscorer but will they be able to offer the same job fosters doing right now, unlikely. I fail to see what job you think he's doing that has got you salivating about a very av...

fidelcastro

If you count the disallowed against United I think he's actually made a good start for a man being asked to do a a hard thankless task on his own up there for us. People keep saying he isn't a premier league striker but so far he's proved them wrong. He just may not be a premier league goalscorer a...

A bit unfair on the U21 lads.

fidelcastro

He was effectively a number 10 last season... anyway, I saw more than enough of him in the PL to know he isn't the answer to our current predicament.

In his best position on the right of a 3 where Parker used him a lot last season and he got 18 goals with 6 assists?

Where he sometimes played for us in the PL too.

I'm rather stating the obvious here, but his numbers wouldn't be anywhere close to those at this level.

Not in the slightest......he's a very good player who organizes our defense.

Not at City he didn't... or Spurs, or United.

To me Flemming for Fosterat half time was a certain change; JBL was just a head scratcher; what on earth was Parker thinking… I hoped it was some master stroke, it wasn’t.

The lack of game time for the likes of Flemming, Edwards and one or two others is a mystery.

To some degree. But I think Flemming was a capable centre forward at Championship level.

I'd be starting him ahead of Foster and Broja.

Surely he couldn't be any worse?

fidelcastro

Foster was rubbish - but if you can find a clip watch back the move where Hartman gets to the byeline and pulls it back for JBL - look at Broja’s movement (lol). He’s literally just walking outside the area when any ounce of desire would have led to a run into the box and probably a tap in. Disgrac...

Be shocked if either get more than 5 goals this season.

Every time Foster does score, we get people on here saying it will kick start his season.

It never does.

Not good enough, but people will still say Leeds isn't a must win.

Head injury

That he didn't deem a foul at the time.

fidelcastro

No free kick, but he stops the game anyway.

fidelcastro

I know he was offside, but Broja looked like an old man going for that ball.

Villa with some defending usually seen only by us this season!

Anyone still think the Leeds game isn't must win?

I'm not sure my head can get itself round it.

Let's not pretend we don't have own fair share of absolute numpties. The Barton example is a good one, and who can forget the idiot who climbed down from the CFS against City last time we were in the PL?

fidelcastro

How is it inaccurate? We’ve shipped 13 goals in 3 away games and it should’ve been more, we should’ve been 3 down at half time at Old Trafford. The solid foundations have been thrown away, we’re now playing some bizarre 5 at the back with square pegs in round holes. The defence looks completely los...

Exact same script eerily almost identical, faith was held on some of a upturn but nothing positive happened.
