Sorry but Rodrigues is an absolute talent. What a player
Can you give some examples of when Murphy has looked good and then had a start the next game and not played well? Or a run of starts and not done well?

I thought Browne was looking pretty good on the right, we had some handy performances out of him. I can't be having him playing centrally though and I don't understand why we do it. He's at his best when he can isolate a full back and run at them which he can't do there and his decision making is one of the worst parts of his game, which becomes more important playing as a 10. I hope that experiment has dies a death now.
He hasn’t had that opportunity which I presume is what you’re trying to get at. He’s in one minute, missing the next, and I accept his chances of finding a rhythm are minimal. While not being his biggest fan, I felt there were opportunities to play him more this season that Murphy had earned and Manning didn’t take.
He scored two cracking goals on Tuesday. The first in particular showed what a class player he could be for us. Anyone seeing that goal and not knowing anything about the back story would’ve thought wow, what a player!
That’s why his ‘stop, start’ time with us is so frustrating. Does he need to just be given a run of starts to gain the belief and build confidence or does he need to really earn a first team start? That’s the difficult question that the incoming manager needs to find the answer to.
All depends on what happens away from match day that we don’t see. Everybody seems to think he trains perfectly and a great bloke so what is it that Manning felt was so bad he wouldn’t use him unless there were literally no alternative or didn’t want to burn out the 3 players ahead of him? And let’s be fair, we weren’t criticising Manning’s decisions around players a week ago.
I’d like to see him start today out of pure curiosity. Maybe he’d run for Craig Short like he wouldn’t run for the others. Maybe he senses an opportunity for himself. I think with someone as good as Leigh behind him as well, he’s not the same risk as he was in front of Brown where that side could then look totally redundant.
Al Hamadi (AFC Wimbledon) scored 2 today, 7 this season, only 21. One for January.
If you are a championship club, yes.
I’m on the Joe Taylor hype train although Josh Stokes and Lorent Tolaj look interesting at Aldershot.

I've seen him a few times with AFCW friends. He's very good - quick, aggressive and can finish. Doubt we'll get him. Championship clubs are interested. AFCW have a sell on clause with Wycombe (who let him go on a free). They want £1.5M+ for him
I expect us to sign this dude if DB is the new manager. Top scorer in Indian super league and plays for Mumbai. https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/132398/jorge-pereyra-diaz
C
Would he get a visa?
Putting aside the fact that he's a 33 year old journeyman who's never played in Europe.....
.......I also don't think there's any chance of him getting a work permit.
The points system is all about the footballing quality of the league and country you're playing in. Djavan only got a work permit because Lazio pretended that he was in their first team squad for a game; but the Indian Super League won't be ranked high enough to get any of their players enough points.

if we can guarantee 20 goals from a striker I am happy to marry them for visa purposes

I imagine the recruitment team will take the majority control of transfers and Des will be there to sell the project and put it into action.

Absolutely mental career. Imagine being a half decent National League / NL / SL standard player. You could just move to the a**e end of Cambodia, Bolivia, Malaysia or whatever, bang home 0.5 goals per game in their top league, drink their beer, sleep with their wives, and take the absolute p**s.
Nothing but respect for that absolute playboy.

Can't wait for the whole of Mumbai to start spamming our Twitter with Buckingham snake memes after we raid their squad

In some ways, I'll be relieved if we do get Des Buckingham in. It means that Ed Waldron will still have a major role and continue the excellent work he did with Manning in the summer. Another pig headed manager like Robinson or Paul Warne could really derail our progress.
Reading his Wiki makes your head spin a little.
Started off playing at home in Argentina, then moved to Malaysia; had a short loan spell back in Argentina, then back to Malaysia again. Next was a loan spell in Mexico, then back for a third Malaysian spell. Cancelled his contract, then a short spell back in Argentina before heading to Bolivia. Full season there, then off to Chile for seven games. Then back to Argentina before finally ending up in India, first in Kerala and then Mumbai.

They seem to be doing just fine at ruining their season without any help from us.

Bradford have history at lending Swi**** their best striker!Jake Young (footballer) - Wikipedia
What about unraveling their season with this guy ?
Swi*** do seem to be a very attacking side ( only one team have conceded less and only one team have scored more), so maybe he has benefitted from that ( playing alongside Charlie Austin must help as well)
Would be worth asking Bradford about him though!
Wycombe lose injured Hanlan and bring in Taylor

We don't need a striker scoring goals. It would ruin our style of play. Next!
