I know I'm sounding more and more like a Rangers da by the day, but I just don't think we can afford to have centre backs who aren’t aggressive and physically dominant anymore with how the rest of the team looks now. The Beck rumour only adds to this point. Good player, but rubbish in the air and more reason to have an aerially dominant centre back beside him. It will actually be exposed more in Europe than domestically. I thought it was noticeable in a couple of European games last season. We kept being muscled off the ball and generally losing both ground and aerial duels. The only thing we have strong competition for is who takes the posts are corners. That's in addition to the age and cost making it just a poor investment and the type of signing I was hoping we were leaving behind. Almost none of this profile have been a real success.

Let’s hope not! Despite his faults I’d say the amount of goals he gives us is crucial, we should keep him at all costs in my opinion.

Being heavily linked to Owen Beck this morning on the old twitter.

It’s a funny old game

I thought Dessers was heading to pastures new

Considering we've only signed one player and we're just over one week into the window, it's a bit early to predict the starting XI. With a bit of luck, we might see seven or eight players leaving.

Let’s hope Cortes season is more about Goals and less about ‘ will he/ won’t he’ be fit. Let’s hope our medical staff have solved the mystery of his injuries. As when he did play a few times he looked promising and dangerous.

Me also 🤣 this would be my Starting line up Based on Gossip 4-3-3 Goalkeeper 1. Aaron Ramsdale **Defenders:** 2. Max Aarons (RB) 3. Conor Coady (CB) Soutar if recovered 4. Luka Jelenić (CB) 5. Jefté (LB) Owen Beck **Midfielders:** 6. Nicolas Raskin (CM) 7. Connor Barron (CM) 8. Lyall Cameron (CM/Attacking Mid) **Forwards:** 9. Hamza Igamane (RW) 10. Cyriel Dessers (ST) 11. Kwame Poku (LW)

Well, after originally building my team around Modric(!), I thought Tav, Souttar, Coady and Aarons; Cameron, Dio and Raskin; Poku, Dessers and ...?Cortes? There - now you can have right good laugh at my expense!

What was it?

These Jokers are killing me!

I had already formed in my head the starting line-up for next season, based on the gossip columns, only for my hopes to be dashed. I bloody hate tabloid journos.

Which is why I think he'd be OK in the middle of a back-three, so we can use, and cover for, his age. His passing numbers are very good ... in the Championship.

I wonder if we will be looking at Lyon players since they have been relegated to league 2? surely they will have a few decent players who have a release clause if demoted to league 2 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cy7ng4vj8leo

Spearheaded by Andy Carroll!

If i keep my fitness levels up I could cover for the eighteen 😆

'Tis a big deal because now we urgently need a replacement for Cerny. He looked tailor-made for that role.
