Interesting one, capable of playing all down the right, seen him play for Austrian U21s few years ago impressed me.

Has played a lot of football at right wing back in the last few years, heard he wants to play further forward as an out and out winger which you hope is where we'd play him, but ...

Guess after taking 4/6 points in the last two threads, I'll bring my streak to a probable end this weekend.. <coat>

I've got the same feeling about tomorrow as I did pre Spurs, so here's hoping we pull something out the bag again! Very unlikely as I think Liverpool will have way too much for us ...

Here's me going for 2/2 on the league match threads! Queue Newcastle getting hammered now <laugh>

Despite last night's result, I'm still feeling like we can take something from Watford. Hopefully the likes of Joelinton, Almiron, Lascelles etc are fit enough. If not then we've got an uphill ...

It's the diddy cup anyway

I think he'll go with something like this:

Dubravka
Fernandez Clark Dummett
Manquillo Shelvey Ki MLongstaff Willems
Atsu Mutu


Would be fairly happy with that. Gives us a chance to rest a few of the lads for Saturday which is another important game, whilst still fielding a "decent" team ...

Bring it on lads

I think this has been my first ever match thread, and I didn't even mean it to be what a result, enjoy the bank holiday everyone!

Seems that a few clubs in Scotland are interested in taking Colback and Sterry.

Fingers crossed we finally get Colback off the books for good.


Wouldn't be surprised if someone like Kilmarnock takes Sterry. I think Celtic are sniffing at their right back so could see him making that move.

Not ...

Probably like most fans, this Sunday's game is looking extremely grim to me. Can't see anything past a 3+ goal deficit in Spurs' favour. Funnily enough I'm actually a bit gutted I won't be there, as I'm keen to check out their new ground, and I've haven't had an away day in ages. But footballing ...

A pretty big fee for them to pay, but I'm sure he'll boss the Belgian midfields - a very good CDM.

He'll walk it over there. Would've taken him for sure.

This will be a real tough one. Norwich will be right up for it, and I'm not so sure I can say the same for our boys.
Despite his mistake, I'd start Willems at LWB. I would like us to go with Joelinton Almiron and ASM to start but I reckon it would leave us too short in midfield.
Team for me ...

With the window now closed, and the squad we've assembled, what do people think our starting eleven will be on Sunday? I'm not clued up on who's fit or not but I can see us going with 3 at the back for this one.

Dubravka
Fernandez Lascelles Schar
Manquillo Shelvey Longstaff Ki Willems
Almiron ...

Doesn't say much if he's being kept out of the Swedish national team by Lustig from Celtic. But here's hoping he can be decent!

Looks like a right footed left winger.

Desperate for two tickets for Palace at home a week on Saturday. Big booboo on my part

Simunovic is decent, nothing to rave about and hasn't been up against top quality strikers this season. But as said above, a young defender with potential to grow. If we are looking at Celtic, I'd much rather go for Armstrong as CAM, cracking player who I think could make the jump up.

Good to see Atsu start, hopefully should be enough to get 3 points today

Just recovered from the Hangover of winning the Edinburgh derby on wednesday <laugh>. Even better with Rangers getting gubbed last night, only need a Toon and Hibs win and it'll be some weekend <dotheameobi> <awe>

My uncle is a Hearts ST holder :bandit:
That's a shame <disgrace> <puke>
