That Emegha chap is a very stinky baller. Makes Liam Delap look like prime RVP.

I’ve never seen anything to suggest he’s PL standard.

He isn’t even Ligue 1 standard. Perplexing signing.

Strasbourg paid £13m for him. Hard to nail down what Chelsea are paying but seems to be £20m+.

Forest 1-0

Turned over to Strasbourg. After 75 minutes Emegha has had one shot, 13 passes (75% accuracy), 1 tackle.

He's trash. Been saying it since we bought him. Worse than Delap and Guiu.

Elliot Anderson would be perfect next to Caicedo. Top player.

Yep.

Strasbourg lucky it was only 0-1. Completely outplayed the last 25 minutes.

City bound.

We should be all over Wharton.

Emegha strikes me as a very very poor man’s Tammy Abraham. Tall, no physical presence. And lacks Tammy’s skills.

Not really. Look at the directors history of signings.

Clearly BlueCo are happy with those type of signings given the 60% raises given out to the 5 plus directors.

I'm embarrassed to admit that until yesterday, I believed that the Hill Dickinson Stadium was named after some ex Everton legend. .

Thank God I never asked anyone about the player, which I've been on the verge of doing several times.

I'm honestly baffled as to what redeeming qualities this lad has that made our scouts and sporting directors say, "Yup, let's spend 30m on him."There's virtually nothing about him that is remotely special, be it his ability on the pitch or the numbers he produces.

The fact our directors continue to get away with this careless spending on bang average players just leaves me to believe this whole thing is an elaborate pyramid/player trading scheme.

Quite. A player trading scheme. Around a £10m profit for Strasbourg on him.

FFS Dubravka.

Come on you Irons! 3 points today!

Sheffield Wednesday are winning, I know there's a long way to go yet 45 mins or so but quite an achievement 👍

Ipswich promoted: if we give them another 30 million will they take Delap back?

And they're out of administration with a sale being approved. Not, thankfully, to the crypto chancers who had been first in line. The EFL has also waived the points deduction for going into administration due to the virtually impossible plight Chansiri left them in. Onwards and upwards.

They will need him. Or someone.

Glad Wrexham missed out on the playoffs. Would have been a w**kfest had they got in.

Ipswich promoted.

They were always going to struggle to make it. Hull sneak into the last play-off spot.

Boro -v- Southampton, Millwall -v- Hull. On form you'd have to fancy Southampton.

On form agreed.

Elephant in the room is the regular season match ups against the other teams that have made the play offs ... no wins against anyone !

West Ham goal ruled out. Player's arm and hand offside. But he can't play the ball with his hand or arm so why should that be considered offside- bonkers
