I will be watching Sundays premiership game and the conference final from hopefully a very sunny Spain.
I booked it as an operation recovery week but as the procedure has been cancelled yet again it will now just be a family holiday.
The opportunity to have a few drinks before during and after the games now seems like a stroke of genius. Plus the doctors can do one with this tea total nonsense for just one week.
COME ON MY MIGHTY BLUES.

Tom, hope you enjoy your holiday and that you can have a few beers ( or even a lot) . You can only drink so much tea.

Tea certainly not the answer for anyone watching what will surely be a tense game - well series of games tghough I think we have to win ours - on Sunday Tom! Also hope you have great holiday. Perhaps include quick family trip over border to Portugal to have a word with Gyokeres about joining CFC this summer?

JBS, out of all the forwards we have been linked with Gyokeres is the player I’m not convinced about.
My choices are IsaK, Osimhen, Sesko, Cunha, Delap. I can’t see see us getting the first two so my Choice is Sesko.

Enjoy your holiday Tom, you have earned it.
I agree, we will have to beat Forest or that will be it for the CL.

Your opinion of Gyokeres interesting Tom given his states for Sporting: 68 goals in 66 games (and 15 in 26 I think for Sweden) . My only question mark would be his aerial ability though he is 6'"2 as he doesn't seem to have scored many with his head but then that could be because of the way Sporting play and he does create a lot of the goals himself.
Why are you plumping for Sesko if we (likely in Iask' case certainly) can't get Isak or Osimhen? Comparingn him with Gyokeres just for last season - and I don't think Portuguese leage much if any easier than Bundesliga - Gyokeres goat 39 goals from 33 games with 7 assists in the league while Sesko got 13 goals from 33 games with 4 assists. In the Champions League Gyokeres got 6 goals in 8 games with one assist while Sesko got 4 in 8 with o assists.
But will admit I've seen far less of Sesko than Gyokeres cos have been following G more closely hoping we might sign him! But apart from work rate - that Jackson and Guiu also have - what has caught your eye about Sesko?
I think Cunha not a bad shout - proven goal scoring ability and all round skills with an often struggling Wolves side - and Delap does seem good with both head and feet and with considerable physical presence not least in the box where we've lacked this though obviuously still young and relatively less proven.
Perhaps Guiu - now back in training with first team - will get a hatrick versus Forest (off the bench?! ) and solve the problem for us! Or perhaps not.

JBS, Sesko is good with both feet and has a very good first touch. He is also very quick for a big man (about 6ft 4ins) but for me it’s his work rate without the ball that makes me think he will do very well in the premiership.
I’m not as obsessed as some about physical presence but this lad is strong as well as mobile.
Fingers crossed for Guiu and it’s a massive shame that he got injured when he did. He certainly would have got a lot of game time when Jackson was injured. he certainly looks a big talent but just maybe a loan might be best for him with a break clause.

Thanks for your thoughts on Sesko Tom and as said I haven't much knowledge of him beyond stats.
Yes would love Guiu to come good for us in Forest game. and beyond. Great pity that he was injured when he was plus when Nkunku - who looked really exciting in tandem with Jackson when fit under Poch preseason- and having huge pressure if on in this huge last game of league season so vital for us.
