do you think this means that Doughty won’t be coming or Doughty next season and Clarke this season FM?? Hopefully we're constructing a short-term plan for this season with Matondo and Clarke, in the knowledge that Doughty will be arriving over the summer? It'd be interesting to see what would happen if we did go up though. Presumably if we did put together a run like that, they both would be central to it and maybe be in a position to sign them both over the summer? I think that is the thing that gives me the most hope - we actually have a well thought out plan.

The best thing this site has ever done is add a block member button. How Bayern gets away with talking utter shit week after week is beyond me. He is the internet version of the bloke in the park who shouts at trees

We have to praise the club for going out and getting these signings done early, we have been crying out for fresh faces and they are delivering. Let’s get that Striker in now. Agreed it certainly seems a totally different approach to what we've been used to over the last few years. Just a target man needed now for what would be an excellent window.

Eh? It's true though, the bloke is a striker and he's done well on the wing but he needed to be used more up front. One of the finest strikers in modern history was a winger, Thierry Henry ! Wenger applied that side of his game and instilled the confidence to go for goal at any range and from any angle. At first this seemed to be idiotic and the Highbury purists were constantly on his back. But look at the end result, how many times was Henry the out-ball on the flank ? He was indeed and obviusly he's not at the same level as Henry but has a similar skillset, get him through the middle like Wenger did with Henry!

Does everyone trust these youngsters in the hands of a cowardly lying manager ? Shouldn’t we be sticking with our own experienced players like McClean, Ince, Vokes even though this manager inherited them when taking the job.

Same with MON tbh, he's awesome, said so from the off. I just have very big hopes for him.

Pointless signing we’ve got better in the squad. As I keep saying we should be looking at players who have done something at this level. Matondo and Noreinfton-Davies have 1st team experience at similar level. Clarke has a handful of Leeds appearances and hardly pulled up trees. A lazy and unimaginative signing. I hope he proves me wrong and is brilliant but he is not what we need. I’d rather see Verlinden given a go. Plus where are the goals coming from??? Played 25 games for Leeds and named their young player of the year at the age, I think, of 19 years Yeah, but Thibaud Verlinden mate. 🥱

Report from a Leeds season ticket holder:
Had the odd good game- was good in the “spy gate “ game... generally too weak- a “wet lettuce “ who couldn’t get in the QPR team last season when there.
Has done “nothing of note for 2 years”.

He doesn’t talk shit Just over the top with the fact no one else is right if they don’t hold the same opinion And repeats his opinion far too often As we all do makes good points sometimes and ridiculous points at others Keep giving us your opinion Bayern but perhaps don’t keep reprating it over and over But you know that don’t you?

Has done “nothing of note for 2 years”. As previously stated he signed mid January for QPR Played 6 games then lockdown and his 6 month loan ended just about when football started again No idea how he performed in those games but 6 games in about 6 weeks seems reasonable In fact made 10 appearances for them according to their website

Its a loan so not too much of a risk
If MON thinks he could have a role here and Jack likes the club then possible maneuver for a purchase
Sensible approach

Well he would be a large upgrade on Ince and Brown and also McClean!

Or it could be that he simply not good enough and O’Neill hasn’t swallowed all the hype. Or God forbid, MON has got it wrong. It can happen Look at Jacob Brown Some fans were moaning when we signed Bojan - probably nowhere near the same class of player, but Brown should improve We are still a mid Championship side, a mixture of some experience alongside some developing players seems to be a sensible plan - some will prove to be better investments than others In MON we must trust

www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2021/01/13/tottenham-hotspur-forward-jack-clarke-join-stoke-city-loan-rest/?Tottenham Hotspur forward Jack Clarke is set to join Stoke City on loan for the rest of the season as part of Michael O’Neill’s strengthening in the January transfer window.
O’Neill landed Rabbi Matondo from Schalke last week to bolster his attack and is the clear frontrunner for Clarke, who has been allowed to leave Spurs to get regular football during the second half of the campaign.
Four other Championship clubs have shown interest in Clarke, 20, but the Bet365 Stadium is understood to be his most likely destination, with Stoke chasing promotion back to the Premier League.

Very harsh. On the bloke shouting at trees. Only joking Bayern!! I might as well be shouting at trees with you lot tbh It's pretty much how I see it. Trees cause a lot of problems. One jumped out & hit my car a few years ago - another freaked out during a storm & jumped on my house. Damned things going round drinking too much Root Beer, wreaking havoc and hanging around nuts... Most of them have shady dealings... A few can even outrun some of our players.

Without trees, there would be no wardrobes.
