• O’Brien, might be a good footballer when he his playing centre-half, but it’s really painful watching him with the ball at his feet when he plays fullback, imo Mike.rnrnHe doesn’t naturally get the ball out of his feet to play forward, is the main reason I give for having this opinion of him when he plays fullback.rnrnHe’s more of a check-back, than a fullback, imo, but it was clear in just one sentence of Mike’s article, how fullbacks are expected to operate under Moyes.rnrnI was hoping to get more offensive and counter attacks and stayed a little bit too high sometimes. Then I got a little bit in behind. I’m sure the word ‘caught’ was missing out of that last sentence!rnrnIt’s better to have a fullback who doesn’t attack enough rather than one who wants to get forward and sometimes gets caught on the wrong side because of this.rn...
  Tony Abrahams in What we learned from Bolton Wanderers 0-0 Everton
• Stan @187 I looked at the official records and added the number of minutes played by Beto to the number of minutes played by Barry. Because they were on the pitch together at times. They exceeded that of a full season playing every game. Like everyone else, I may be wrong from time to time, but unlike you. I try to discern the difference official records and half arsed "half a season between them" stats. FYI. Their combined minutes on the pitch was about 750 more than that of the striker we let go to Leeds for nothing. ...
  Darren Hind in Goalless pre-season friendly shows immense improvement needed all over
• A lot of teams are spending high in an inflated transfer window post World-Cup. Perhaps TFG don't want to get swept up in that, preferring to spend big in summer 2027 when teams like Spurs and Man Utd won't spend again. Also, Moyes is into the last 12 months of his contract and they might want to give him big money to spend. They will know already that their plans to invest in young talent and his desire to sign experienced pros doesn't match. Basis that, they may be thinking that Moyes's strengths in making a team difficult to beat might get us close to mid-table without big squad investment this summer. Pretty scary prospect that. We were bottom 6 for goals scored in the Premier League last season, and removing the goals and assists from Grealish and Ndiaye out of the equation leaves us with a blunt looking squad. If that is the case, I would wonder how Branthwaite and Dewsbury-Hall would view it as marketable players who are ambitious and want to play for England. A number of ...

  Paul Hewitt in Farewell, Gana Gueye
• Gana hs served us well and it\'s time to call it a day, he\'ll probably go to Saudi which is why Ndjaye want to move there, to be near his Senegal mate. If the money is right and we spend well there should be no need to cry over he move!.rnHaving said all that, this is the first closed season that I have so little interest in any comings and goings. IF and WHEN we start signing some quality that may change. ...
