Hope we sign him just so I can update the thread title to Dominic Calvert-Fewmin.
-
Listen. If Eddie wants DCL (no idea if he does) then that's good enough for me. And when we do sign him, then PauloGeordie will put an ultra positive spin on the deal and I'll feel 5x better even more about it.
-
£15-£20 million? Not in a gazillion fkn years. Let Sunderland take him the daft cunts.
-
Aye, Murphy needs a full back, Gordon and Barnes need a wing back.
-
The link-up between Tino and Barnes for about 4-6 weeks was one of the biggest reasons we have a cup win and another top 5 finish.
-
Yesterday I thought I'd turned the calendar to June a couple of days ago,only to discover it was the 8th of June. Where did those 6 days go? The joys of bring old and miserable.
-
Is Jobe really good? Just saw he's going to Dortmund.
-
I'd rather have Jam........oh just fucking forget it.
-
Worst comes to worst we can just sell him to Juventus.
-
He's just not proven to be effective, that's the bottom line. Whatever you think of his potential or the fact he's free etc is one thing, but the main thing for me is filling a slot with someone who's not going to contribute.
-
Just keep him fit, easier said than done but even from the brief cameo in the last game of the season you can see how dangerous his pace, heading and mobility can be.
-
Unless he isn't fit..
-
He’s not very good, will probably not be cheap and was statistically the second worst player in front of goal last season. Options? What options?
-
yeah I don’t know the answer which is why I’m asking; but it seems many are very focused on us specifically finding someone to beat that specific style of defense when we have more or less been excellent with what we have at our disposal and how we’ve been able to maximize players we’ve had in spite of no transfer activity. So I naturally think 1) yes we need more technical ability, who doesn’t love that but 2) how often do we HAVE to break a team down to win a match? And 3) if we just get better players to more effectively execute plan A, then why truly reinvent the wheel?
-
Have to say - for a free transfer it wouldn’t be the worst move we’ve ever made. Had his fitness issues but definitely gives us options off the bench.

Antonio 'Antoñito' Cordero - To Sign on 1st July from Malaga (Official)

I hate the signing and farming out of players for PSR purposes but unfortunately we basically have to play this game. We know we're going to need to trade players, so we will probably want to be in a position where every summer we can either sell these Minteh type signings or instead move on an existing first team player and slot them in as a replacement. In an ideal world I don't doubt we'd have rather done the latter with Minteh given he was still on an upward trajectory. -
Don't forget their iconic pre-match usage of the 1996 top 40 hit "Ready to Go" by Republica which they named their forum after. I've heard they talk about that in America all the time too.

its not so unique The football teams who famously sing "Wise Men Say" (a reference to the line "Can't Help Falling in Love") include Sunderland, Hull City, and Huddersfield Town. The song was adopted by these teams as a chant, with Sunderland and Hull City particularly known for their long-standing tradition of singing it. The song was a popular anthem among football grounds from as early as the 1960s, including with supporters of Sunderland, Swindon Town, Hull City, Huddersfield Town, Preston North End, Swansea City, Airdrie United and Raith Rovers.

It’d be a nice problem to have, in any case. Too often we weren’t able to change the game from subs or even before that, surprise teams enough with personnel changes in the first xi.

What was a "pivot" called when "park the bus" was doing the rounds? Anchorman? Holding midfielder?

Put a school skirt on it and would like like the infamous DLC pic tbf.
