The added bonus is he can also play in midfield in the Field role. |

Surprised no mention of Devon White White White. Legs the size of tree trunks and about as mobile. Absolute legend

Natural ways?
Healthy diet and exercise, healthy body composition(below 20% body fat), low alcohol intake, no smoking.
Be careful of fasting. I’m not saying not to but if not done properly it’s a one way route to sarcopenia in the over 60s [Post edited 12 Oct 3:09]

When you have a team that can score over 800 run at 5.5 an over, no pitch is a bad pitch except when its bad in the other direction where neither side can post above 100. |

Our fullbacks are dreadfully exposed.
Compare us to any opposition this season. As soon as our wingers get the ball they are closed down by two sometimes three usually because we are sooo slow in getting the ball to them.
Whereas opposition wingers consistently find themselves one on one with our fullbacks. Miller had the freedom of the left hand side of the pitch today. I felt sorry for Santos as he was horrendously exposed all game, and you just can do that against a quality player like Miller. |

He looked quite useful in what little I saw of him in the friendlies.
Good luck to him, 3 months experience in the men's game at that level will do him good, |

in 50 years supporting this club he is the only play once they've left I follow the reports and results of every game of the club they're at. Much as I hate Palace, I have implicitly become a follower just because he plays for them.
Fabulous player, fabulous human being. |

To be fair to Paal, he's had absolutely zero cover in front of him from either Saito or Lloyd forcing him to drop off his man when there's a chance he's going to get overloaded, meaning he's not close enough to challenge when the cross comes in.
This occurs a lot less when Chair is playing because the opposition are far less likely to overload players against Paal. |

Lloyd's a centre forward. But Cifuentes plays him on the left because he's behind Celar and Frey in their position and he sees something in him he wants to develop with first team football with less pressure on the wing than if he plays lone striker.
He cause Luton problems during the week and a start was his reward, and without Chair available, its a toss up between him Kholli, Saito, and Smyth on the left at the moment without Ilias.
I think he needs half a season on loan in League one, but he's one to watch for the future. He's definitely not a starter at the moment in my book, but certainly someone that can offer a bit of direct play as a sub in order to push the opposition back. |

I also thought that Varane had come on significantly since his debut as well.
I know he's got a long way to go but he reminded me a little of Ali Faurlin |

He has some technical ability but he's really not used to the pace and physicality of the championship at the moment which is no surprise.
He will need some time. There was definitely more about him tonight than on his first match. |

A couple of corrections there.
1) Current owners haven't put the club at risk(so far). They've put their own money at risk.
2) Reggie Cannon was signed in September, Nourry took over in January. |

You're right.
I'd gone off stuff I'd read two weeks ago leading up to the signing referencing a piece in The Athletic that included the option to buy for £1.4m, but there's no mention of the option to buy in any of the signing reports, only 'initial' loan.
I still believe there's an option to buy, but like so much in this thread there's very little foundation to build any case for anything, because we don't actually have the information outside of 'rumour' from web articles....but then that is the title of this thread :) |

Due to the Warburton Splurge 3 years ago we have needed to come in way under the average for the last two years.
This means that for FFP purposes we have the same amount of headroom as the Warburton overspend.
Now if we spunk this all away this season then we'll be needing to underspend over the next two seasons or make up the difference with sales, and if they are backing their recruitment policy they may be banking on the latter.
I can see Dembele being sold on in two years for an 8 figure sum |

Reply | Chair - what's the story?
at 15:41 18 Aug 2024
The biggest why is he's had the court case over his head for the best part of three years and is now injured.
Nobodies going to come in for him in either circumstance |

You defend from the front. For all I'm happy to give Calar Time, he was an empty shirt in that regard on Saturday, so much so we may as well have been playing with 10 men. |

We didn't have much in the way of ball carriers outside of Smyth.
Whilst I liked the fact that Kolli was far quicker to distribute or cross the ball than Chair it was noticeable that there were times where he stopped and went backwards when there was one defender ahead of him, when Chair would have taken them on. |
