I thought the booking for Arfield was harsh, but he's been consistent as he's booked broonaldo. 

Jack on for Barkerinho. 

We need to weather the next 10 mins, I think; there will be a reaction. 

I'll let @Frankie change the title - I don't want to jinx anything... ! ?

Stabbed it in!

Fortunate bounce of the ball, but it was some lovely build-up from Kamara, Arfield and Morelos.  

Stabbed it in!

Yeah, Morelos is being too aggressive; red card coming.

It was a alright half from us; we weren't brilliant, but we've been competitive.

I would like to see us create more, though.

Oh, well-- hopefully that's the team talk sorted out.

Jones left out for Barker is a strange one. I don’t know why the management rate him so highly. 

While I'm surprised Jones has been left out, I think Barker is just more versatile and provides a better press.

If we do sign him Jimmy Bell will have a field day with the letter pressing on the back of his shirt! Wiltshire, Willshire, Wilsheer, .... the possibilties are endless! ?

 

Is your last comment a reference to a certain Mr Barton? Will Jack leave with his coffee machine tucked under his arm in disgrace??

 

 C'mon let's sign him be worth it to see the man in the white sannies grinding his teeth!?

 

Great post sir!

i expect lots of clubs are talking to Wiltshire we would be remiss not to be one of them. 

We've started already!

The signing of Zungu made it 2 players to each of the 3 midfield positions. Why would we do that if we were just about to sign Wilshere on what would be a big contract? We probably enquired but maybe Zungu was left late because he was the backup. Signing both just doesn't make sense so I don't believe it.

Would you be saying the same if Messi was available? 'We've got Barker and Jones for that right-sided spot - on your bike, Lionel!'

It's Jack Wilshere.

Wilshere was released quite late - certainly, we'd been in talks with Zungu for quite a while, so he's not a 'back-up'.

I think Wilshere  -- if the rumours are true -- just represents an opportunity. 

On his day, Wilshere is one of the best midfield players in world football, IMO. Unfortunately, he's not hit that peak in quite some time. 

His injury record is really bad - and added to that, the lad likes a drag. ? 

He'll be on huge wages, but if West Ham are footing the majority, it won't be that big an issue. A pay-as-you-play deal would be wise.

I feel if troubled players just get stability and to feel wanted, they can be rejuvenated, which he could get here. 

I'd be delighted to get Wilshere, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

(I've been burned in the past... Oh, sweet Josh...)

I think this is a good signing. We needed another body in the midfield. 

Supposedly, he can play as a #6 and a #8. 

Looking at the Youtube clips again, he looks more physically imposing than I remembered, and he looks like he's a very good passer of the ball. 

I've now convinced myself that he's world-class.   

Zungu is a deeper player than I'd like, but he looks alright. 

Bacuna's profile fits, for me: can play as a #10, or deeper in a double pivot (from looking at Huddersfield's last few games).

However, I think Bacuna the player is a little lightweight and inconsistent. He's still young, so there might be sell-on value. 

I like the role, but not so much the player. 

Saying that, I've read contrasting opinions regarding his character on the pitch.

If the current online rumours are to be believed , Zungu is the target.

"Current"? 

Zungu was mentioned months ago. Are there more recent links?

We come to the final day of the transfer window. 

I'm hoping for some movement. It's looking like it'll only be one, if any. 

So, if it is just one player added, one position strengthened, which position would you prefer it was?

For me, it has to be a box-to-box midfielder; someone with a bit of dynamism and energy; someone that provides an attacking intent. 

A win's a win, but that was brutal. 

Man Utd are a mess, on and off the pitch.

They need a better coach, and a DoF to organise things behind the scenes.  

I got swept up in the optimism and changed from my initial 2-0 scoreline...  

Correct Result (1 pt): Everyone who entered.

No, you fool. Celebrating entry to the Group stage and maybe the wee bonus.

 

Is it ok to call sutton a fool? There’s a warning elsewhere about pejorative language.
