    chris beard's ceiling at Texas was becoming our Coach K, and possibly even supplanting Duke from their spot in the CBB hierarchy. we absolutely were set up to be successful for decades, and the architect of it all is just *poof* gone because of his psycho ass personal life. he had the world at his feet and he pissed it away over nothing. i thought i was stunned and kissed when Penders released Axtell's grades, a situation that looked like it would stunt the growth of the program, but ultimately worked out better than we probably could have hoped for. this is way beyond that. Beard just built the foundation for something very, very special, and then blew up the entire thing with a grenade launcher. un fucking believable.

    You can always tell how depressed derka is based on the lack of a wall of text and decreased use of the shift button.

    Hugs Derka.

  2. Completely disagree. We have some players who can finish, but we have no one to unlock the defense. We are 16 in shots in the EPL. Not shots on goal, but shots. We no longer have a Fabergas, Willian, Hazard or Lampard. Right now our leader in assists is Sterling with 3. We have played 17 games and our top assist is 3.

  4. It's amazing how much our midfield has regressed with Kante being out. I felt like Zakaria did a fair job but as soon as he left and you had the trio of Jorg, Kova and Mount it went to shit. Past that Dave is no longer a good option. We are such a different team with James out there. I think Silva is hanging on, Kouli is fair and Cucu is average so far. It appears plenty of changes are on the horizon, but it's past time to consider a turn over in the MF and move on from Kante.

    Thus far we are bringing in or are in the team but not yet featured..

    Wes Fofana - potentially a upgrade at the CB position pending injuries.

    David Fofana - Young striker, seems a reach/depth but we will see.

    Andrey Santos - 18 yo Brazilian that could be an answer at Def MF, but not for a couple years.

    Chris Nkunku - Big get, but at a position where we don't lack in depth.

    Benoît Badiashile - Apparently a FM target. Young tall French CB. Could be the future with Fofana, hasn't signed as of yet.

    Targets

    Enzo Fernandez - I feel like this is this World Cups' James Rodriguez. Maybe he can be the Jorg replacement that unlocks defenses, but I didn't see that from him at all in the WC. He played hard and had an impact, but I didn't feel he was all that creative. I sorta see him as an Argentinian Mount. Would having two Mason Mounts running around in the MF help?

    Declan Rice - Maybe this is the piece Chelsea is waiting for. "Rice’s contract expires in summer of 2024, with option for another year. He will not be sold in January but #WHUFC have conceded they will have to sell him this summer #CFC, #MCFC and #MUFC all keen. Chelsea have the edge despite previous misgivings over Rice."

    Joško Gvardio - I think this shipped sailed with his WC effort hence Badi getting signed. Shame too with how good he is going to be.

    Bellingham - Unless Boehly has looser pockets than I think, I don't see this one happening. 

     

    Thoughts?
