Grim af on here these days like. Can't even say "fish supper" 😉

He looks like he smells really nice

I think its more likely they know they're controversial owners and they don't want to ruffle any feathers. Which to be honest, I understand, and to me personally exploiting loopholes feels a bit dirty. (Don't go back and check my previous posts, i'm sure ive said the opposite in the past )

In his givemesport column. Said he wants an important salary but would be no different to other players like Cunha etc. Of the new signings under INEOS, the highest paid has been De Ligt, who took a pay cut from £265k a week to £195k a week at us. That was a marquee signing from Bayern. £180-200k will almost certainly be the range for Cunha and Mbeumo. There's no way he's getting £250,000. I'll eat my hat.

Proper well put that like Chicken Dancer 👏

Gordon’s “blah blah blah” reaction to the original Liverpool rumours btw

Good thread.

Why would we sign Matt O'Riley? Onana level minimum. Aye Krafth and Lascelles are injury crisis players. That's fine.

Yeah, I'd love to see them given a chance too. Some rise to the occasion, some don't. Chelsea sold Hall for psr.

I'm sure it was mentioned she has been offered a coaching role here, so maybe hear other news on that soon.

Maybe we just don't have many assets we could sell.

Yeah. If we do as much in depth homework as we allegedly do. Then makes perfect sense if the same player for same position comes available again we’d revisit if the parameters of the financial package haven’t changed unreasonably. Hence my only doubt with this link. Like @The College Dropout said i think in some games he could actually displace Joelinton in midfield. Feel his ability is a little wasted too high up the pitch.

Pope is a really good goalkeeper at being well - a goalkeeper. Good shot stopper and surely one of the best in the league at commanding his box. He's really decent at sweeping up too (Liverpool Feb 23 aside...). It's really fashionable to think keepers are crap because they can't ping a ball like Ederson, but 10 years ago Pope would have been talked about as one of the best about. He is absolutely fine and was crucial to any success we've had over the past 3 years - if it wasn't for him we'd have had enormous pressure going to Chelsea away last game of 22/23 and if he hadn't done his shoulder against Man Utd the following year, we've have likely finished a place or two higher and been in Europe last season. That being said, there's nothing wrong with wanting to upgrade, I just don't know/think it should be our #1 priority this summer. I'm not even sure Trafford would be an upgrade yet, but it's OK to think he would be long-term. If we've earmarked Trafford for over a year now he may know that he would be the starter in the cups initially with the intention to have him as our #1 from 26/27 (or later), but after the season he's just had he may not be happy with that. Either way, I trust the club to do the right thing. We've seen success in slowly integrating Livramento & Hall into the side, though granted it may be different for a keeper.

No, but I want this Cordero kid to be so good that EH considers letting AG leave.

Think it’s more frustrating we don’t exploit the loopholes, rather than being annoyed at the clubs that have tbh.

We’re back to wanting to flog Gordon are we? Sometimes I think we will never have a squad here. As soon as someone goes off the boil, or is on the bench for a while (Barnes, Miley) folks are plotting their exits.

A forum classic that keeps on giving for me. The use of the word 'patter' on the other hand stopped being acceptable some time ago (debatable pass if you're Scottish)

Where did Romano say this and how much is he saying the wages will be?

Good, AG is a downgrade on Diaz and we'd surely command a decent fee

They swapped over from Mitre? When did that happen?

I'd be absolutely devastated if Miley left. I really want him to become a key part of the team in the coming years and I'm sure he will. It's shite what football has become - having to sell good academy players for PSR reasons - absolute bollocks. One of the goals I've felt the most joy in the past few years was when he scored right in front of me at the Gallowgate against Fulham. Fuck selling him. He's probably the best talent we've produced in a generation. Despite our amazing season, I couldn't help but be jealous (and happy too I may add) of watching Anderson excel at Forest. You should always have local lads in the squad representing the city and living all of our dreams. Always.
