Corey Blacket-Taylor gone to Walsall on loan, JDH going to Cambridge and Bedau going to Scunthrope.

Oh Jim White have to concede does have some ITK but ok maybe not Mr ITK (no one knows everything?!) But he's more than a facilitator

Jim White does seem to have contacts in the game
He gets messages and phone calls .
Makes sense if he has some knowledge as he's a front presenter in radio and tele sports news.

I mean he gets told selected info but from all the sky folk I don't think any have as much as know as him

As for those other s on sky sports they just junior facilitator s who seem to get info off Twitter and forums and then use that .

Darmeseth is just a facilitator

BBC have Ian or Phil Dennis ?? Often seeming 3 hours behind !? They lack a lot of exclusives but they aren't a commercial outlet like Sky.

[footyskillz]

BBC do have the local news touch and like to give the idea of credibility .

Talksport outside of Jim White non of the other sports presenters have any knowledge and reporters are hit and miss.

The ex players / managers are worse than there punditry! When they on they just fluff and pad as have little knowledge

I remember Danny Murphy saying Benteke going to man utd not Liverpool who couldn't see him there .when leaving villa.
I posted it so I remember.

Hit or miss?!
( I guess they never miss huh  )

@footyskillz - not questioning your insight or opinion (as I know very little about the player) but is Hayden as limited, technically, as you suggest?

Seems strange for him to have 3 years at Arsenal under Wenger if he could not trap a ball and pass it adequately.

I appreciate that is some way sort of being a playmaker, but if we are after someone disciplined, someone to disrupt and regain possession and then to move the ball simply and quickly to attack-minded players, then is he not capable of that?

Cheers. UTV.

double post, sorry.

I have no idea if Jim White is ITK or not. Every time I see or hear him I switch off, can't stand the twat.

No one leaving Watford today apparently so seems like Chalobah isn't an option.

Jim White will still be giddy after Zombie FC beat Cowdenbeath last night.

I hope that Michelle Owen is on with Jim White tonight - but it will probably be Hayley!

Bacana 3 million  to prem ?

footballs gone crazy

Reading now weaken as they play us

[sid1964]

Bacuna - he was truly awful for us, that stupid smile even when we were losing - he could not have cared less! - just read elsewhere Bree could be joining Ipswich

Hey Russ.
You're spot on with break up play and spoiler type of player
I just don't like this type of player
Yes suited to some types of teams but I just didn't see Smith playing with one.
Though technically he could be better he would do what you say !

I maybe ambitious or slight inaccurate to how smith likes his football but his deep playing midfielder is one to dictate anf control the game with the ball

I question on the ball
Off the ball he's fine and will help regain control

[Russ aka Big Nose]

Thanks footyskillz.

Though I think every great team has to have an intelligent, disciplined and disruptive/determined player in midfield. The role used to be, unfairly, called a 'water carrier' then got elevated in status when people raved about Petit, Makelele, and others.

Increasingly they have become more athletic (as has the game more generally) but every team needs someone with the skills to snuff out danger and regain possession, i.e. Kante.

A midfield menace. If they are capable in possession, great, but those are really rare and expensive. We are crying out for this kind of player to give us protection and a platform to attack.

Re; Bree to Ipswich (if true). I’d rather see one of the other right backs go and him get a run of games here.

Michelle Owen is great !
Jo Wilson is my favorite one who broadcasts
I like how she speaks Scottish accent and I find her most attractive without wanting to be inappropriate
I hope that doesn't sound sexist.
(Will delete if offended)
Anyway. Jo Wilson I think you appreciate her facilitating
