Ok so as it's silly season here's my hopeful formation based on how the manager likes to line them up.
Pickford
Johnston-O'Brien-Branthwaite-Aznou
Rohl-Norgaard-Hackney-Kdh-Garner
Ndiaye
Delap (come on you know it's going to be) .
Would love us to get Yilmaz if we had to let Ndiaye go but would put him out wide right and move Garner up the park where he would be more involved in an attacking sense.
Have I got the job? ?

Yilmaz going to be our striker or winger am not sure he looks that good and Turkish players never do well in England look at Tousan.Why can't we make a bid for someone decent someone like sarr at least try and get someone good

Because we are crap. Have flirted with relegation for years and have no chance of European football for the foreseeable. And we play boring negative football. If you are a footballer who is half decent and ambitious, would you sign for us?
03 Aug 2026 09:52:14
Hope they let us start with 12 players BB.

Brassington, not being picky but your team has 12 or is that to balance the VAR anti toffee agenda. ?

I would have hoped DM would have played JoB and JB together in preseason as preparation, but he hasn't, so I doubt we'll see that pairing any time soon. : (

"Turkish players never do well in England".
Tugay would have something to say about that.

Hey Big Reg, I've just gone and put Everton to beat Crystal Palace 2-0 in our opening game on Super 6 and now you have spoilt it, mate. ????
03 Aug 2026 15:42:21
Are you for real, Dino, saying Turkish players never make it in England?
03 Aug 2026 15:54:35
Ah, you spotted my deliberate mistake, boys. Just a bit thick, lads, maybe getting a bit excited because we are actually signing some decent midfielders. Now about the two right backs..
03 Aug 2026 16:16:18
I'd take 12 players on the pitch. Surely we couldn't fit them all in our own half the whole game!
03 Aug 2026 16:32:37
Sorry, Brassington, but it's going to be a while before Garner is back on the pitch in any position.
03 Aug 2026 17:35:24
Yes, am serious. Name me 3 top class Turkish players that have made it in England. I can't think of 1, never mind 3, but you seem to believe I am wrong, so name 3.
03 Aug 2026 18:15:22
You're going to have to wait on news now naming some.

Tugay was class, and wasn't Muzzy Izzet Turkish? He was decent for Leicester.
