He has signed for us. Terrible business. I hope that’s a joke. Never seen a footballer |

He's direct, unpredictable and has the ability to make things happen, but has you tearing your hair out in equal measure. Bad control, misplacing short passes, and getting needlessly caught offside seem to be things he does all too regularly. In some ways he's Quaner-like in his play. Perhaps it's the reputed price tag, or just his overall demeanor, but he's just nowhere near as easy to warm to. That's something that can't be coached, so if he is staying, he might need to grow a very thick skin.

It may have tonnes of pace, but it also badly lacks guile, composure, ability to operate in confined spaces, etc. Other than when chasing a game, I wouldn't be playing all three of those. We got promoted with Kachunga, VLP, Bunn and Scannell playing out wide. Not sure there was much guile, composure or ability to operate in tight spaces amongst those 4 Or pace except for VLP |

So we'd have a ridiculous amount of pace across the front 3, a goalscorer in the middle and widemen who we all seem to agree can, at least, cross a superb ball in 🤔. A midfield 3 from Stank, Bacuna, Hogg, Pritchard, Sabiri and O'Brien presuming Mooy goes and then the defence made of whoever stays. Next season could be alright.

We could get your lad back from Stoke to not get past anyone and not be able to cross if you'd prefer 🤔 |

He's not without ability but was never ready for the Premier League. Would he stand up to the rigours of the Championship? Debatable I think, he'd either shine or be completely bullied out of the games.

He has signed for us. Terrible business. source? It's there for you to read in the first page of this thread. Straight from the mouth of DH at a Q&A as confirmed by myself and EpsomTerrier. Unless Dean goes back on what he said... And that's not unheard of I would suggest, based on the Limbombe Affair where he said that Town were never in for him and yet every press item ever released says that we most certainly were. |

Thankyou Roger, as you said, let's hope he comes good. I think we've seen enough of Mbenza and Diakhaby (together with the levels they've played at previously) to know there's footballers hiding in there somewhere. If we're stuck with them then it's up to our coaches to bring out the best of them; that's what they're paid for after all. They were both beginning to show something under Siewert before they got injured (not a lot but something) but Wagner's lot had obviously given up on them. Certainly a failing on their part. |

Genuine question. Are you allowed to lie on audited accounts? Because if not, it's an option not obligation.  |

I'm hoping Pritchard will be decent in the Championship but he's not shown much in a town shirt to suggest he will Out of all the players on the books, what makes you such a fan of his? Agree on Hamer, a safe pair of hands who we can rely on to secure back to back relegations |

Agree on Hamer, a safe pair of hands who we can rely on to secure back to back relegations More space, time on the ball and opportunities on the ball. In the prem you have to get it right 1st time. In the champ you get 3 or 4 bites at the cherry. It's how players such as Ince, Lolley etc look so much better in the championship. |

To me he looks a yard slower than the player who was once a standout at that level He seemed to have had a lot of injuries in the couple of years before we got him which could explain it. Certainly can't strike a ball like he once could |

I'd look to keep Pritchard too. He's never going to be a Premier League player but he's always looked good in the league below and I do like his work rate. Even when we smashed a very lacklustre Norwich at home on our way to promotion, I remember thinking that night he was one of very few of their players who actually looked bothered.
We're going to need proven Championship quality players and that's exactly what he is.

Ok, I've read most of this thread and I can conclude two things. Firstly, e4bandstevieboy is insane. Secondly, I'm in a minority on Mbenza.
I rate him and can see lots of potential. I agree the fee is as inflated as a condom at a stag party but he has got something. I'd keep him and I'd play him. He could be devastating in a counter attacking team.

I think both Diakhaby and Mbenza are good players, I’ve said this since Everton away thread and on many threads since. I personally don’t care what anyone else thinks, doesn’t change my thoughts. Just my two penneth. |

Mbenza and diakhabi both look more of a threat than they did under DW.
Everyone seems to forget that the pace and skill of the defences we will be up against next season will be very different from the Premier league. Pritchard is slow for this level, he will be quick compared to most teams next year.
