Reply | Engli up front Friday?
at 13:50 10 Sep 2025
While I get the "he's young, he's not experienced here" stuff, and while I know it's easy to look good against lowly opposition(tell that to those who watched England v Andorra) his highlights are very, very good. Haven't seen enough of Azon or Akpom, who seem to be different players, but I feel that Egeli's combination of skills look like something we don't have in one individual. I'd like to see him given a meaningful 30 minutes pretty soon. |

Hope I don't end up finding the remains of Omari tossed over my front garden wall any time soon then. |

I don't doubt he has, but that doesn't reveal anything about who he might have wanted, and who he might have had to settle for. Just as the firm for whom one works has no total responsibility to divulge all internal workings to employees, so Ashton et al can tell us as much as they feel ought to be brought into the publuc domain, and withold whatever else they deem fit. This is just common practice and is not usually seen as lying but merely, as the phrase has it "being economical...etc". Neither you nor I nor Frimmers knows what didn't work out for the Town bosses, only, what did. No lies were told, nor insinuated. It was just real-world realpolitik. |

I think that's an accusation that no-one is making, but you could have commonly read in the national press that they supposed we were busy assembling a squad for this year rather than last. If there were a glimmer of truth in that, no manager would have owned to it, but chosen rather to be economical with the truth, which is not usually classified as lying. |

Back in the sixties when Millwall came to Town they moved around to the back of the North, gave us a few choruses of:
Hey, Ho, Hey Ho
It's off to work we go
With bottle and brick and Walking stick
Hey Ho, Hey Ho
And said accoutrements were indeed in evidence as they charged from the back and sent many vaulting over the barrier down into the stairwell while the Bobbies tried to fight their way upwards. |

Not sure that it's that unknown. It's decades old, and, as a manufactired thing, didn't really take off initially. But clearly, it just needed a period of rest as it's taken off properly now. |

Watching Downes on recent EFL highlights, he was wretched. "Downes giving the ball away again" said the voiceover. I know he may have just been having a mare, but he seems to me to be yet one more player who has grown by not being visible. The mighty West Ham jettisoned him. He's good at what he does, but his limitations are more pronounced than some like to suggest. |

The amount of time wasted would have been long enough to get a quick call through to 111 who could then have sent you off the pitch to take the requisite two paracetamol. |

When I was listening to a Scandi commentary featuring said lad, their pronounciation of his name was closer to "aygeli" than as in egg. |

Azon's highlights certainly bear that out, although not overly tall, he's a powerful unit. Although I watched a guy who comments on all things Spanish suggest that he is not at his best as a no 9 [Post edited 31 Aug 20:22]

Egeli seems certainly predominantly left-footed, but his showreel says he's no slouch with the right either. At his current club he appears to have licence to drift all over the place, and there are a fair smattering of headed goals too. Apparently he has the highest XG of any 19 and under in Europe, and has taken the most shots in his own league. Even conceding that that league is not of the highest standing he is as exciting, perhaps more so than Azon who is a really solid handful. [Post edited 3 Sep 17:20]

I think that really depends on who they are, especially track record. But, then again, remember Greyhound. Certainly there seem to be a few (young?) posters who confuse what they have read with what they actually know. But still, there are some trusted sources who, nevertheless, are entitled to be wrong sometimes. |

I feel that break-the-net Ted Phillips from Gromford, or our own Warky would not necessarily be in sympathy with the idea that his dance routine of place ball down with a loving caress, swing to the side, shuffle, shuffle to the ball (optional hop and skip) was put out of synch because of his brush with the law. |

Apparently Günter Netzer has shared with him how Los Galacticos were taken apart by Town over 2 legs back in '73, reminding him that Real have never beaten us in El Tractico. [Post edited 19 Aug 18:24]
