    I think that's a very fair observation. Where I would counter is that we, in turn, were making that observation based on how reactions have been. I personally found the Copenhagen approach and performance a huge step in the direction I want us to go, but we still have to see how TF does with the...

    It has been overlooked by pretty much every critic who stated that it was all down to speed and strength.

    Ha, you'll think I'm trolling you (I'm not, honestly) but I have to push back on this. Of course no-one can accurately say 100% how a young player will develop. But there are personality traits which can help suggest certain things will happen. Kane is a fine example in the sense that no-one...

    Processed sugar. Fruit sugar, natural fooods sugar, honey for example, are all great when used as part of a controlled and rational diet. Education is the first step. Banning things opens up a whole raft of potential issues IMO...

    What would YOUR priority signing be in the Jan transfer window?

    No. Of course I would not sell Spence. I'd rotate him with Porro more and certainly, on occasion if it fits, play him elsewhere. Of course we want options, but currently we only have one leftt-footed left-back which is a bit of an issue IMO. His effectiveness is NOT in question. Our squad depth is.

    I wish we'd play a system which suits the skills our players have best. For me, Odobert is not reallty a LW more than a half-space left-sided attacker. I'd still love to see either 4-2-3-1 or 3-5-2. Imagine this as a (sort of!) 3-5-2 Vic Romero Danso VdV Udogie Odobert Pahlinha Simons Porro...

    I think timing and technique are everything; if you get the former right, and have the latter, you need not generate an ounce of pace yourself. I always thought this Kane winner was sorely, sorely underrated. It is a superb header showing timing and technique.

    As ever a fine discussion mate and food for thought all round...my current conclusion is how lucky we've been to have these players in the last decade!

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Good points for sure, however I'd counter that both had the likes of Wanyama and Dier infront of them, as well as a system which was fixed and stable for their entire tenure. Romero and VdV have played for 2 different managers with 2 totally different styles. I would never play Danso over either...

    This is an enormous issue. Teachers (like a couple of other public sector jobs) are expected to be professionals in (as you say) mental health and social work. All for relative peanuts. It is pathetic. Something serious needs to be done, and for me, that would be to invest in a wave of fresh...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I agree that when it comes to heading he is absolutely our best CB. Let's see how it pans out. As stated prior, Romero and VdV have won one trophy with us and are vital in so many aspects of how we play. The numbers suggest that if they manage to match or exceed the appearances Jan and Toby...

    Those would be some additions. Osimhen would be outrageous, even if only for a season or two. A superb finisher and with such pace.

    What would YOUR priority signing be in the Jan transfer window?

    Understand the man's point (and the general point of wanting another LB)...it has zero to do with ability. Spence is a fine player. It is balance. A right-footed LB will always look inside, their body-shape is always looking inside, and it is far easier to squeeze a right-footed LB. Just see the...

    He is a fine penalty box defender -really good and really good at last ditch stuff- but comparing him to Ledley is exceedingly generous IMO. No-one could dispossess a player like Ledders, indeed, I barely remember him having to slide ever. Incredible timing.
