I'd like to know the stats for us. But he definitely scored one and hit the post with another. I'd be surprised if he took more than 5. Heck of a record. I cant be certain, but I was led to believe, some time ago, that Cristiano Ronaldo's record from free kicks was something like 2% conversion Scor...

We didn’t sign him until after the first VK season, so I suspect you’re mistaken.

Think he's getting his years mixed up but there was definitely reports that Wolves made a big bid for him last summer. I'm sure over £20 million was mentioned

We must have a winger lined up.

Must we? We have a good number of wingers as it is

matttheclaret

Linked with Bobby Thomas via Pete O'Rourke. Not the best source, admittedly

matttheclaret

I think so

Dubravka
Walker Tuanzabe (if fit) Esteve Hartman
Lesley Cullen
Edwards Flemming Anthony
Broja

I was really hoping to see Tresor listed in the team, is he still unfit?

I think it's simply he's not in favour. He's probably our 6th choice winger after Anthony, Edwards, JBL, Tchaouna and Koleosho. Game time will be very limited even if he is fully fit I imagine

So we are starting the season with a weaker side than last season. Not good at all. Who would have imagined Laurent, Sonne, Foster and Ekdal would start the season when we were celebrating promotion?? We knew that already though, didn't we? With a few injuries and others like Broja and Lesley had b...

Apart from totally disagreeing with you on Trafford, who I thought was superb virtually all season, I don't share your enthusiasm for Hladký who gave a goal away at Wolves in the League Cup, did again at Reading in the FA Cup and didn't inspire in the other games either. I would have been totally c...

This is assuming there's no Roberts, Humphries, Tuanzabe, Beyer or Flemming available and I doubt from Parkers comments that Dubravka or Broja will start, I know he included Ugochukwu with those two in terns of being short of fitness, but centre midfield is a key area and I think he'll want to bring...

Can't really remember the last time we had virtually all our incoming business done prior to the opening game (before the last friendly even) In an ideal world, I wouldn't mind seeing another cb coming in, and possibly another midfield option too. Maybe loans could be the answer later in the month. ...

It's strange how the standard of darts has shot through the roof in the last 5/6 years. Taylor aside, most of those competing at the top 10 years ago, would struggle to get into the top 20. It's great to see, the darts is always a great watch. Snooker on the other hand has lost all its characters I...

It’s just flat to watch. Nothing in cricket beats a great contest where bat and ball are both in the game, I’d rather that than just flat tracks and games like this. I agree. I've heard people say this has been a great series - I don't really think it has at all, far too batter friendly throughout

I'm assuming that the discussions we were having with Brownhill resulted in us offering him a deal, if not, I'd have expected us to say something. If we did offer that deal then unless we have withdrawn it there is nothing really to say. Can't recall who it was but I remember us withdrawing a contr...

He claims the club knows he's negotiating with City and Newcastle, that's hardly knowing nothing about it is it?

Apparently, the deal on the table is 32m for Traff plus Philips and Perrone?? on loan, according to a Man city colleague who claims to be in the know.
I am suspicious because wouldn't Philips go back to leeds on loan?

Perrone signed for Como on a permanent deal this month

What's his average per year been? What's the opening partnership average been? They seem to get the team off to a good start pretty regularly for the last couple of years. Single stats rarely paint the picture. To be fair, his average in 2021 was only 10.25 which massively brings it down which back...

Bue he has been part of a very successful opening pair for quite a while now - the left hand right hand / tall guy short guy mix makes it difficult for bowlers to settle.

Average of 31 as an opener after 56 Tests does suggest he's pretty fortunate to be in this team

Does anyone know if Cajuste is thought to have played well for Ipswich last year? He clearly made a sufficient enough impression for them to want him back, but it’s obviously a higher demand in the premier league.

The big agent puppet had Cajuste on the cusp of a move to Besiktas over the weekend, but it sounds like he never wanted to go. Turns out the “here we go” loon gets fed duff information like any other chancer on X. He does tend to be right most of the time to be fair. Although I much prefer the like...

I thought he walked with a limp but in a similar fashion to a middle aged man after a 5 hour drive.
