Seems like we've got Boris Johnson in advising the club, the way the oven ready deals are panning out.

Haven't seen him play but he averaged a match rating of over 7 last season which says he's very consistent and doesn't have many poor games if any. He's Irish, so we know he'll be tenacious, hardworking and hopefully a younger Dallas

Pi55 take if we miss out

Cue Hamer to Burnley and Piroe to Leicester ....

All you need to know about Manning is he's been one
of, if not the best left back in the Championship last couple of seasons. Rated the best last season. On a
free, we could've had him. Wages wouldn't have been
a problem either based on our supposed wealth.

Leicester and Southampton are streets ahead of us
at this stage. Granted they haven't had our ownership
issues. But, the league table doesn't give a monkey's
about a club's predicament.

Really hoping this isn't a sign of us about to spit the
bit on incomings. Agree with Shaun, cue more sh 1 te
news.

So our latest signing is Aberdeen's 16-year-old Lewis Pirie. All very well but we need experienced players for the first team, not the under-18s. We've been hearing for several years now that players like Archie Gray are coming through the ranks, but for the blood and guts of the Championship you need journeymen with grit and guile. There's still time for signings, but I'm getting a bit worried about what seems to be complacency on our part.

you never answered my question.

Have you even seen him play, or know anything of him, before two months ago 🤷🏻‍♂️

I had a sneaking feeling he was one of the players Hay was talking about who had agreed to join bar the takeover.

Makes you wonder who these signings who have agreed are

Twice. But I'm no expert on players.

The people who are, say he's being put in the same
sentence as Hamer, Piroe, Gykores, Akpom, Drameh,
Sam Field and several others who are classed as
the cream of the crop of Championship players.

The type of players that can be got if LUFC is really
a big fish in a small pond. And a club seen as one
that'll smash it in this league. Not sure we are. At all.

Plus, he was on a free. However, his manager from
Swansea is now at Southampton. He seems to be
sold on them and their chances over ours. I don't think
he's wrong.

On paper, and football reality, we're miles behind
Southampton and Leicester right now. Slow start to
our season is what I'm expecting.

Should add, Farke is similar to Farke, he has a well
defined system. He might not be interested in the best
Championship players. He might be looking at players
who already played for him.

Or, the rumors that Charlie Taylor might be coming
to play LB is why Manning's gone to Southampton.

Saying that and according to Phil Hay, we were
interested and talking to Manning. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Which ever way you look at it, he would've been the
best left back the club would've had in years. Now
he's going to play for one of our supposed rivals for
the top two slots.

* Farke is similar to Bielsa

LIW, serious question, do you wake up every day
angry at the fact that the internet talks about LUFC?

Sure seems like it 🤷🏻‍♂️

posted on 11/7/23

Whos angry 🤷🏻‍♂️

Your just acting like fannies.

Why be upset about a player who gone elsewhere

when

1 Were we even in for him 🤷🏻‍♂️
2 you never knew about until 6 weeks, and barely seen (if ever 🤦)
3 Shaun never seen him but he got a few 7s in Sun, so must be good 🤦
4 We been littered with these types of signings and never worked ( A player who doesnt do alot, but have a good season and there all the rage).

So my point is, why get upset about signing some nomark, who tbh, I would not want on a four year deal

We were.

Incorrect.

Pulling stuff out your ar ze now.

Under Orta. Yes. Now thank fck he's gone.
Hammond knows his stuff. Proved it several times over.
Or is the internet and the football world lying to us
and you're the only one onto their conspiracies?

So my point is, why get upset about signing some nomark

When you throw out nomark to characterize a player
as good as a Manning on a free, well...

Contrarian fck.

I think the worrying thing for me is our supposed rivals are making these signings when we are stick in limbo.

Gykores on his way to Lisbon, Coventry having sold him for up to £20m. Though I am confident of the potential that Rutter brings to the table this year, I do wonder why, when that kind of player was available for that price, why we weren't all over it last season.

posted on 12/7/23

Even if he was crap for us (unlikely) he was on a free thus didn't lose **** all.

posted on 12/7/23

Far as I'm concerned, he was in team of the season based on his ratings for the season, for a team that didn't do anything.
