In reply to Bayern. The Brown song is a lyrical masterpiece. Think it goes something like Brown, Brown, Brown, Brown and then repeat 🙂🙂🙂
Have heard a few try to get it going in the Boothen but never takes off (but then again nothing does at the moment). Don't go away so don't know about that.

April fools has gone mate. Sorry but I really don't get the Powell love in. Sorry but I really don't get the Sawyers love in.

Feel free to explain why? Do...do I really need to? You're advocating jettisoning the team's most reliable source of goals and creativity in favour of a player whose stay here has been pockmarked by inconsistency. I'd be fine with signing Sawyers as an understudy to Powell but it would be insane to replace one with the other, especially given Sawyers is nearly three years older. No squad should be built on the basis of any player having an understudy. Every player should be competing all the time for a place in the first team. Including Powell.

Replace ‘understudy’ with ‘competition’ then. If both players are here and Sawyers is in better form, no issue with him starting over Powell. Flat out letting Powell go in favour of Sawyers would be insane though.

Looked a cracking player at Brentford but you have to judge him on what he'd done at West Brom and Stoke and you'd have to say he's been pretty disappointing.

Yeah he's not the player I remember from his Brentford days. There's no doubt he's the best passer in the squad but he's a luxury player we can't afford unless we have more physical players around him.

He’s not pulled up any trees, he’s knocking on, his career is on a downward trajectory. Would rather see us go for a younger energetic shithouse if there’s one available.

Energetic shithouses are fun to watch as well... I like that description!
If I tried to build a team of them though, Football Manager would expel me for violating Bournemouth copyrights.

Can we afford him with having Vrancic and Powell signed up, would definitely have him if we could somehow get rid of Clucus

Would have signed him as Powell-cover, but as we've already renewed Vrancic's deal, it makes no sense to do so now...which is why I fully expect him to be stood in-front of the Boothen End holding a red and white scarf up within the next few days.

I expect to see several signings made just before the end of the transfer deadline giving them no chance to integrate until about Christmas and so losing any chance of promotion. Get your fingers out now transfer team!

If MON signs a brick shithouse defensive midfielder then Sawyers can get in the team. Without such a player he is a liability as his defensive capabilities are hopeless.

That’s unless MON is happy with mediocrity rather than improvement. Sawyers is a decent player but you can’t have Powell, him and Baker in the same team as it doesn’t work. If we’re going with 3 in MF we need Baker a sitting / DM midfielder and Powell (or Vrancic). We need a physical presence in CM and up front if we’re to improve unless we move from 343 / 351 to 442 with no WB or proper wingers.

We’re going to line up on the first day with a midfield of
Allen Baker Sawyers
With a front 2 of Powell Brown
Aren’t we. Fuck my life.

Have to learn the lesson of last season that Vrancic and Sawyers can’t play together in same team. Opposition walks through us. Happened so many times. Good player as a 10 with a two string midfielders

Will this team have a chance of promotion?
.......................Bonham......................... New..............Souttar.....Jagielka.........Tymon ...................Allen....Baker..................... Campbell..............Powell..................DWP or Doughty ......................Brown...........................
Subs from: Bursik, Forrester, Wilmot, Taylor?, Thompson, Vrancic, Tezgel?, any other youngsters?.
I still think we need a strong and fast striker, another CM/DM and a winger. So a minimum of 4 new players to have a hope of being up there. Allen might leave as well and hopefully Fox and Clucas too!

I suppose We have to question is a stable of Baker, Allen, Vrancic, Sawyers, Powell and Thompson good enough for promotion?
If Allen and Sawyers don’t sign we need at least one another being the DM beast?

Not 'far too' as long as Thompson stays fit but would agree we need a bit more physicality especially if Sawyers plays (Vrancic offers far more physically). If Allen stays and we get a better right wing back than Smith though it should be fine. Allen offers far more defensively in midfield than he is given credit for.

But even if they should manage to stay injury free for a time, we must at all costs avoid playing the three of them together at the same time, as we did that once and it was disastrous.
