Ekoku: The Ambassador Of The People

16/17 also. Bloody Dickson Etuhu still haunting me

The thing is Arsenal are expecting him to force the move through so they can pick him up for a decent price? Force the move? Decent price? If Webber was not around i’d fully expect that but facts are he is contracted to 2024, had his head turned in the Summer transfer window, not only was he not sold, he was dropped. So sll these deluded Gunners thinking they are getting him on the cheap are insane. They can go on about how they are a bigger club, can offer premier league football, more cash etc, etc. But it just goes to show we won’t be bullied by the bigger clubs these days. We either put up or shut up. Liverpool, Barca and Everton all came in with lowball offers and with the exception of Barca all paid the player’s value. So them thinking they are paying £15m and a couple of loan signings makes them as insane as them lot down the road.

Always game for a laugh so ventured over to Aftv to see what their take is on the Emi transfer. I mean they are a deluded bunch at the best of times but some of them are certain £15m-£20m plus a loan signing is enough to tempt us in to selling. Obviously been a while (if any) that Arsenal signed a player from The Championship as our club will laugh off that bid. Most feel that he will be pushing for that transfer so can pick him up for peanuts. Emi along with Max is destined for great things and personally feel he could do much better than Arsenal. Never thought i’d say that lol.

Its officially the half way stage. We’ve played everyone once and really does go to show how good our achievement of being top at this stage has been. From the top half of the table we have played 8 away, 3 home. We have also played 13th and 14th away. I’m not sure how the other promotion pack fair but definitely puts us in a great position.

It does amaze me skimming through there forums and to see they would have probably got a good result if they didnt have so many injuries. How we’re not all that as well. Obviously must of missed a midfielder player playing at left back, first choice gk out, Onel, Mumba, Idah, Rupp and Placheta out, Dowell, Cantwell, Hugill and McClean all with lengthy spells out and not quite ready for 90mins. The mind does boggle

We must keep at all costs. £30m in January or £100m come August. Think we can wait a few months.

Great result. Top of the league, having played the teams in 2nd, 3rd and 4th.

https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/bali-mumba-getting-talked-up.1532830/page-5 Sunderland slightly aggrieved that the clubs hierarchy sold him for so little. Remind me a little of Leeds as they shouldn’t be selling their talent to clubs like Norwich. A mix review. Some say he was too good to go. Some saying he weren’t that great. Time will tell. Our history with progressing youngsters i will lean towards the first.

Was good watching Zimbo pinging diagonal balls, especially more when Mumba came on.

Just goes to show we are grinding out results without certain starters in Hernandez, Dowell and Quintilla. Possibly Gibson as well. So just goes to show we have a better depth of squad to call upon this year then last.

Feel this is going to be repeated many times this season. Teams coming and sitting back trying to break them down. Honestly feel we will win more away than home this season.

They limped to two 1-0 victories over the mighty Gills and Crewe. They have Sunderland away next tues and Portsmouth in the FA Cup on sat. Expect order to be restored this time next week

Signed for Swansea. 3 year contract. Could have done with another CB. Oh well. Come on down Alex Tettey

Just denied his hat-trick. Great finish from outside the box too

Sinani has a brace already. Still got plenty of time to complete his hatty for Luxembourg

I think in this competition you can only field u21 players. Not like the academy league of 3 over the age of 23. I could be wrong but they introduced all the youth teams into this cup as a way of getting competitive matches for the youngsters.

I’d actually prefer Drmic in the 10 role than Rupp

Booked now. Having an absolute stinker. Though i would say the other 10 have been equally as bad.

Thats why it annoys me with rumours going around of £20m to Newcastle. He is a serious talent and will be England’s RB for years to come. Bayern, Barca and PSG are all watching him so hope he doesn’t go to a mid-table/relegation team.

I would feel quite deflated if Max left for Newcastle. I feel he can do so much better and could see him at a much bigger club even at his age now.

£15m (if to be believed) plus add ons. We are robbing Newcastle blind.

I think we’ve made better quality of signings this season than we did last season

Seen today’s fixture listed as 4pm kick-off

Don’t think starting the season on -12 helps their cause

Adshead started in the 1-0 defeat today
