QPR friendly yesterday, Eze was left out, when questioned their manager said “we need to look after him there are a few bits and pieces going on”. Fulham, Leeds, Spurs all interested, Fulham are favourites to land him.
I realise how much fun this is and it’s no small measure of how bored I am without football but, given the spelling, why is his name pronounced cock as in ending with a ‘K’ rather than say ‘scotch’ or ‘church’?
Gerrard asked if Ryan Kent has a release clause (as rumoured)... However, when the Ibrox chief was asked about release clauses in Kent’s contract, he conceded there different things in every player’s contract which may take matters out of his hands. "Every player has different things in their contracts, that's just the way it is," he said.
This thread started with the clubs succession management plans and the first name on the list has slipped out. Eddie Howe? What are peoples views on him, because for me he should have got the England job before Southgate. He has done a worldy with a Sunday pub team with 6,000 crowds and plays attacking football. He was unlucky this year as half his first choice team was out injured and at the end when some were coming back they were not match fit maybe the club should give him the U23 job and be the apprentice until its time for him to take over?
Howe would be a good successor but anyone chosen by Bielsa would be the correct choice. Maybe Corberan will have a successful season playing Bielsaball at Huddersfield and be a natural replacement should Bielsa decide to call it a day.
Was hopeless at Burnley, think he might get overwhelmed by the expectations of the fans. Pochettino for me if still available at the end of the season assuming this will be Bielsa’s last.
I think that’s how Americans try and say... or cotch. German pronunciation is how scousers would pronounce cock. Like they have a frog in the throat..., cokhhh! Common name in Germany - means cook. but if he signs, he’ll be kock to us, and hopefully a firm favourite with the fans.
Alan Nixon reporting that Corberan wants Struijk on loan at hudds. Surely we can’t agree to that leaving us with just Cooper? Gotts apparently close to a loan there as well.
