Can English teams not only loan out 5 players abroad at a time? Arteta might think Kettlewell is an absolutely cracking guy but it doesn't mean they can just give us half their u21s.
No idea what Steelboy said to start off this line of discussion but I don't think his post is any weirder than the one boasting about their FiL fighting in Vietnam? It's only been widely considered a catastrophic waste of time for about 60 years.
I reckon Miller's probably technically+ definitely physically better and more equipped to move up a few levels and really shine in the modern game- but I think you'd be mental to say that Turnbull didn't have a bigger impact on games week to week than Miller has had so far.
To be fair I'm not even sure if Turnbull had made his debut by the age Miller is now?
Was Alexander not apparently relatively happy to lose Watt (and replace him with Efford?)
I've still never really understand what happened there. Watt obviously played the best 6 months of his career under GA but it didn't really seem like that was down to any sort of brilliant man management that unlocked something, more that he just lucked into Watt hitting a purple patch while he was at the helm? I say this as someone who was something of an Alexander sympathiser up until the end.
Is there any actual substance to the Spittal stuff? I can see the logic behind it but if it was this far along you'd expect some of the more ITK folk on here to be aware of it.
Ideally we'd get a striker in before Saturday but I don't know why folk are convincing themselves we'll just be going with Bair by himself until the end of the season.
That's fair aye. I just think it really necessitates us getting a forward signing right, which we maybe hadn't even planned for at all unless we had a bit of forewarning from Arsenal.
This is mental. I'm not saying we're as good as down without him or that he's irreparable but he's been scoring at a rate of more than 1 in 2 during one of our worst winless runs in modern history, has a better goals to minute ratio than almost everyone other than Shankland and assisted both our goals last time out.
