Doc I wonder if that's where we have him pegged to play. He's a lot better at the defensive side of the game than I thought and his distribution is obviously good. I don't think he brings enough to the table going forward as an 8. People will point to Xhaka and if he can do it etc. But Granit's positional sense and movement is actually world class which is a side of the game that people overlook.

    Tavares scored again, got to 5 goals this season, but also got sent off last night.

      HomeSteak it’s the most Tavares performance. He’s a chaos agent.

        It’s good to see. He’s a talent.
        Speaking of Arsenal mids in Spain… Azeez is back. Ibiza cycled through three managers. The second and third managers didn’t use him as much as the first. He needs to correct his path or turn into Nelson

        If Real would pay say 50 mil for Patino I say let him go.

          goon That's a weird one. He was playing regularly, not sure how we can recall him and then loan him out to a club just a few points ahead in the standings.

          But anyway must be for the better

            Azeez has gone to Wigan to work with Kolo and Kevin Betsy at Wigan. Good move for him and hopefully he can get his career back on track after a couple of failed loan moves.

              I’d missed that Betsy had gone there as part of Kolo’s team. Seems if Azeez is going to get a chance anywhere, it’ll be with them pair.

              Ha! He did look very pleased with himself in his promo video for Wigan...

              Who the fuck is Betsy?

              Edit: Never mind. Googled him. Thanks.

              MistaT Just came here to post this one. Seems Norton-Cuffy's getting a proper apprenticeship, he's been in the starting XI and getting 60%+of available minutes this season at Rotherham.

              Curious to see if he gets recalled in summer, could mitigate a few problems if he's moving into "better than Cedric" areas.

                Love Kolo - hopefully he does well.

                  4 days later

                  Looks like Okonkwo is also switching clubs midway through his loan - off to Sturm Graz (2nd behind Red Bull Salzburg in Austria), which is a good step up from League Two Crewe. Been getting really positive reviews so far.
