    The club was just starting to move on from player-power which has been rotting the club. Now, re: Mainoo, you’re cheering that very thing on.

  • Excellent Fan Podcast

    Found this podcast after the NQAT guest appearance. Love the regular short updates, super considered and clear analysis of the club. I like the single person updates which can happen so quickly it’s almost real time news, but the best shows are where Scott has someone to riff off. Great stuff and a new fan here.

I would put Carlos Belaber as the number one priority, followed by Elliot Anderson at number two, Joe Gomez at number three, and Adam Wharton at four due to concerns over physicality and cost.

Martinez might have worked in the past as an anchor in the midfield, but after his serious injury, I have reservations about this role given the current system.
