If Freddy Adu is not on that list I will be stunned.

I right fancy having a go on Football Manager now. Anyone know if the game runs ok on a not brand new laptop?

So you knew Waghorn would be worth millions after one season? Mate you really should be working for a Championship club and on very big money as a scout.

Same with Mings...you knew?

I'll always give someone a chance. Post 5 of your top lower league picks because it strikes me as a bit odd that you never mention them until we're linked with them and suddenly you're claiming they are great players. Give me your five top picks. I know little about the lower leagues and i'm not going to take the piss.


Where have I said that. I said IF I’d have said that I’d have been ridiculous because you can’t suggest anything outside of general consensus without that happening. People would have laughed if you said Roberto Martinez would take a country to 3rd in the World Cup. If you really want them then off the top of my head my wish list for us - Jodi Jones, Rodney Kongolo (Doncaster on loan last year but at Man City), Josh Morris, Leonardo da Silva Lopes and Ezra Konsa. The last two have gone to Wigan and Brentford recently though. Marc McNulty I think will be superb for Reading. Very Marcus Stewart like player. I rate Tilt as you know. I have frequently said I love Adeleken (whose just gone to Bristol City).

£16.99 surely. I’ll happily bet £16.99 that Townsend plays 70% of games next season he’s fit for for WBA next year and Tilt does likewise if he moves to the Championship this summer.

Good to get another look at Adelekun. Another of my tips to rise through the divisions. He is either the next JET or next Mikail Antonio. I really rate him. Exactly the type we should be targeting.

The next JET? I'm not sure you should be waving that kind of post around as evidence of your prediction prowess!

Said he could be the next JET or Antonio in that he will either waste his talent or go to he very top. I wasn’t suggesting JET and Antonio were both massive success.

Bore off. It’s impossible to have instant proof of the talent of an unproven player. I could have said Waghorn would be worth £8m after a season but would be ridiculed and have to wait a year for justification. So stop being a complete tool. Townsend will likely end up at a lower league Premier League side. Tilt I think will be a good Championship centre back at least. Can’t be arsed to discuss with some utter numpty which players will be good in the future as without a time machine it’s a hiding to nothing.


Are you in football management at any level? With the degree of insight and accuracy of spotting talent you really ought to be you know.

I’ve simply said I think Tilt and Townsend will go onto be excellent as I was hoping we’d get both. I was happy with Edwards and Harrison. Think they’ll do well. Just expect Townsend to end up going the furthest of all four career wise.

I just want a decent senior CB asap. Tilt would be great if he's that good. We've sold a CB for an initial £3m after Pompey's cut. Lets be generous and say £2.5m after agents fees and associated costs. We really need a CB. If the rumours are true and we're offering £800k and they want £1m I don't know why we don't just pay it. Hurst clearly rates him. We need a replacement for Webster. Personally i'd like to see two CBs but know some disagree with that.

I see no one has been able to answer my very basic question! The OP says “another deal slips though our fingers”.

All I’m asking is “who are the others we have targeted and failed to get?”

Likewise. I honestly believe Tilt at £1m would be a steal. I think in a couple of years he could easily move for four or five times that if he does as well as I think he will. He look like he’ll excel on higher divisions.

I analyse sports data for a large private investor in the sports market. Specifically the football league. So as well as using the reasonably reliable stats from FIFA and FM, which are more sporadic the lower you go down, I also study all match results, scorers, appearances, player ratings and so on. So I tend to know a bit about the really promising players. Not as much on those who are just doing enough at their current level. If anything I know less about the PL apart from the games I watch and match of the day. Someone else does the PL.

Wait, what? You're basing your opinion that Townsend is definitely better than Knudsen on stats on Fifa and Football Manager and looking at appearances and player ratings? Mega lolz!

Nope. Not said that at all have I. All of those things play a very small part in it. They are deciding factors but can assist on occasion. If I know little about a player and both FIFA and FM say he’s got maximum pace then it’s fair to say they are quick before I see them with my own eyes. How many times were Cheltenham on last season. We were aware of Eisa very quickly. Soon everyone was. It wasn’t purely through seeing him live.

In any event I’m sure Knudsen must be rated higher in all these games. So it’s qyite clear I’m not basing it off that.

I like how the manager who has worked with him wants to sign him, we put in a bid and fail to get him but fans can claim we don’t need him - Hurst obviously thought we did!

The manager is coming out and saying how we desperately need players, it’s clear he means 4 or 5 and not one or two.

If someone has said we would be 1 week from start of season with 6 defenders I’d have been annoyed, let alone the 6 we have!
