I remember being surprised that we were signing a fifth central midfielder. It turned out to be the correct decision to strengthen given the injury crisis we eventually had in that position, although ironic that Camara was the one who struggled most for fitness.
Yeah, at a time we were desperate for attacking reinforcements in a really tricky market and AAH did a decent job as a backup striker while acclimatising to a big jump up the pyramid.
Camara on the other hand, cost 500k for about half an hour of league football and left for nothing. Without that signing we'd probably have been League One champions too, as the fee funded Plymouth's January reinforcements that season.
A video from HITC Sevens, a youtuber I generally rate very highly, has picked AAH as McKenna's worst ever signing. Think this is a bit of a harsh pick - don't think it can be anyone other than Panutche Camara...
It could be a clause that becomes active only if we go down.
The Cameron Archer to Sheffield United deal was similar. They bought him for £15m but their relegation activated Aston Villa's buy-back for a similar fee.
The striker point I'll give you, but the rest was almost exactly what a lot of the Southgate critics wanted. Rice and Bellingham as the midfield two, with Palmer in front. Fitting Foden and Saka into the team as well.
He did a pretty good job in five out of the six games. I like to think that his ridiculous Greece lineup (after Tuchel had already signed his contract) was a public service.
It proved to the fans who spent the Southgate era demanding we shoe-horn all the number tens and wingers in with no thought for the structure that we actually need some defensive coverage and a variety of attacking profiles for the team to function properly.
Before the double jeopardy rule came in, the foul for the penalty would have been a straight red, so it's definitely a second yellow now. I can't see how he can have any complaints.
Barnsley will be hard to top, with those five minutes at the end of the first half. It was the first time I've ever sung "now you're gonna believe us, the Town are going up" and ACTUALLY believing it.
I got City and Brighton. Had to work the weekend of Southampton and will have to do the same for Villa, which was another one likely to go to 15+. Looking a bit tricky for future games after this.
I failed for West Ham and Forest on 15. This will be my third away this season - accepted I'm going to miss out on most but I just want to get to five so I can start in the 15 category next season.
A GOP-lead house with a narrow majority is better than a Dem house with a narrow majority. It'll have to be a masterful whipping operation to get anything done.
Leaves it in a good place for Democrats to win it back (hopefully with a healthy majority) in 2026.
