https://amp.theguardian.com/football/2024/feb/14/brentford-announce-30m-signing-of-club-brugge-striker-igor-thiago I don’t think a topic was ever made for this, but this is our Ivan Toney replacement that we ended up signing from Brugge as the Nusa deal went sour. I’ve only seen highlights and physically he looks like a Toney replacement, but the thing that strikes me is that he has more pace to run in behind than Toney does which makes me think he will suit our 4-3-3 more so than our 3-5-2, though imagine he could do both.

I mean our injury crisis has very little to do with Toney’s value but I’ll take £60m yeah

A well deserved point. Villa went 2-0 up in a game where it barely looked like they'd score 1 goal, we managed to come back and put ourselves into the lead. Poor defending from crossing again saw Villa back into it at 3-3. The remainder of the game was up and down but very few chances were actually created. As poor as the defending was today, to go away to Villa Park, without our entire back 4, without our defensive midfielder and club captain, with Toney on the bench for most of it due to injury, with no Schade....and to grab a point is exceptional. 3 points from 3 games in 8 days that being honest very few people would have predicted anything other than 3 losses, great stuff. Now we have a week off, Toney and Mbeumo can push back to full fitness, hopefully Schade will be available again against Sheffield United and who knows, we might even get a first choice defender return. But two massive games to come against Sheffield United at home and Luton away, a must win and a do not lose. -

Hahaha what a come back. Villa didn’t really deserve to be 2-0 up based on gameplay but we defended poorly for both goals, glad we’re back in it. -

1-0 Villa in what has been a dull game with nothing in it. Shame we didn’t take advantage of the two counter attacks we had earlier in the game but the final ball was missing both times -

If Mainoo is getting game time in the middle then Lewis has to, just so so good. -

He can quite naturally play as a left back, right back and invert to play in central areas. Crazy not to bring him in a team that wants to use possession better to attack Hahahaha shut your mouth sunshiiiiiiiine -

Rico Lewis has to go to the Euros -
I enjoyed the film, definitely the size of it. But came away feeling like it was a bit dry, like I was never truly encapsulated by what was on screen. And I think what you've said here pretty much covers why, I couldn't work it out when watching and haven't read the books. But specifically agree with Kyne/Austin Butler, was held up as a massive part of the film but actually when watching it....not so much. Personally I would say there is better television out there than this, especially as it's held up as a Star Wars moment. If we're talking Star Wars specifically then Foundation on Apple does a much better job at conveying a gripping storyline.

PL 2023/24 - Survival Battle
Danny replied to Stan's topic in Premier League - English Football Forum
If we can beat Sheffield United and Luton then that would put us 12 points above Luton assuming they don't close the gap in the meantime, which would pretty much leave us safe with the last 4 games to go. Tbh I expect us to get away comfortably now, but you never what will happen. Good news is that Wissa has played so well that Mbeumo started as a sub against Brighton, but I think Mbeumo will return against Villa. Schade should be on the bench too so we have options now. I don't think we'll get a result but I'd really love a win at Villa, the game at the Gtech left a sour taste. Got a feeling they'll be too strong for us, expecting Watkins to score as the away end boos him lol. -
Profit & Sustainability Rules Change/'Luxury Tax'
Danny replied to Stan's topic in Premier League - English Football Forum
This is a bit utopian but I want a sort of system where the finances are capped globally and in terms of transfers, every club has the same access to the same set of analytics. At that point it becomes less about what you can spend and more about what your club can achieve in a level playing field. Would also open up greater possibilities of inter-continental competition and allow clubs in countries that have historically been seen as under developed or developing to compete with the dominance of Europe. -

Danny replied to Stan's topic in Premier League - English Football Forum
I dont think the tax will work at all. If people think that clubs like United, Chelsea and whoever arent thick enough to break it purposely knowing they will have to pay, just to carry on trying to win then they’ve another thing coming. It wont affect the bigger teams really -

They were such a negative team and if you got into a dogfight with them they'd win. But if you could just outplay them, different story... -

It’s funny what happens. When we lost to Fulham we were being called bottle jobs by Swansea, even the season we went up their fans still expected us to bottle promotion, especially as we were both in a fight for automatics for a while. Then we beat them comfortably in the play-off final and since then they’ve been in disarray whilst we’ve enjoyed 3 great seasons in the Premier League. -

Same team as against United. Flekken; Roerslev, Ajer, Zanka, Collins, KLP; Jensen, Janelt, Yarmoliuk; Wissa, Toney. 352. Expect a much tougher test against Brighton tonight, I just hope we can hit them with the same intensity as we did United because if we do I don't think this Brighton team can defend against that. -
