    Just can’t see how the jump would be from Holsgrove to Oura. Hope this isn’t right.

    Signed Ouma on football manager got a red card on debut complained I didn’t bring in another player from Slavia prague to help him settle and threw his toys out the pram before he forced a move 6 months later he’s already scarred me 
    That’s why we planned for this and brought Collins in ahead of time to help him settle

    Holsgrove says no, we go for Chalobah in the sitting role and look for a more box to box midfielder abroad. Makes perfect sense to me

    We are not fishing in either the muddy pool of lower division players now, nor the crystal clear waters monied clubs can go to, but at least we are in the humble lake of a nice local park these days.

    I am nominating you as the next Poet Laureate.
    I second that - Jose has almost brought a tear to my eye - I’d go as far as saying that nathanial C is a big fish swimming in danson boating lake but likely to be chopped down by a pedalo at any minute

    Well based on (very limited) information on this thread, with Ouma and Sichenje at least we'd be spared football as boring as some of last year. I'm not sure it would be successful mind you but boring is definitely out.

    Ouma will be our version of Ebou Adams. From the clips I’ve seen and the time I watched him in the champions league they are very similar players. However Ouma looked a lot better on the ball in my opinion.

    Happy enough with Chalobah as a squad/depth signing but if the expectation is that he transforms our midfield, then I'm worried. Very little about our summer business screams upgrades as was discussed.

    NJ keeps talking about Grant, who's decent but he's not been top-level for some years, same with Chalobah and McNamara was a Millwall squad player. Alli I'm not having and who knows with the two defenders.

    Unless the real quality is still to come in shape of this right winger and another CM then I'm really concerned.

    We do have more depth and balance, but quality, I just don't see it, and I'm concerned about whether NJ can keep us solid with the change in shape, I can see us starting poorly and having to revert to 352 and being back with a squad not suited to it.

    I hope I'm wrong.
    I’m bouncing between exactly what u have posted and another 2 good signings and we sneak into the play offs 😂🤷‍♂️😂

    We will never learn, bang on about one player all pre season to end up being bollox, fucking hilarious😂

    As much as we all want some creativity in the middle, I’d also be quite happy with not watching our midfield getting bypassed and walked through when we lose possession.

    I’m impressed you have even heard of him 👏

    He did seem to have great balance in the clips, difficult to knock off the ball.

    Very good on the ball judging from this

    For what your saying we’d need to be looking at Chalobah as a main player for us which, to me, would be insanity on its own but also I don’t see Ouma or Chalobah as the ‘string puller’ we need. Unless we’re really shaking up the squad with more exits to come this just looks like we haven’t got much money left and are wheeling and dealing where we can. Others can be happy with it but I think it’s massively sticking on rose tinted glasses.

    Checking FM he looks like a proper NJ CM  - quick, strong, can tackle, brave, aggressive, decent in the air and on the ball. Only 22 and rated with Prem level potential. An all rounder rather than a passer like Holsgrove.

    Interesting one if it happens. Thought he was going to be the RW when I saw the name.

    Tbh not sure how he fits into our squad ! From that clip his forward passes don’t go straight to the keeper or out for a goal kick !

    I’m sold. And I can see him working well with the players we have and have signed. Think Grant, Campbell, Kelman, Knibbs and Leaburn will all fancy playing with him. Kelman in particular looks like he’d benefit from a few good through balls.
