Aye righto.

I thought we had enough FFP space that we could rack up considerable debt without that ?

What actual money ? It's a digital transfer that just moves from one account ro another. Our account will show outgoings and on the accounts. I'd doubt any transfer has been done from PIF. It'll just be debt until they find another way transferring credit in ie sponsorship.

I'd guess it just sits in the club accounts, like most debt, to be settled up at some as yet undetermined time.

The idea is that if one of the centre mids drops in like that, the centre halves with him form a kind of triangle allowing the full backs to push up and wider and the wide midfielder/forwards to try and play off their defender to get space wide or hit a gap in the channels. No.problem with it if you have the calibre of player to do it well, helps dominate position and keep the oppo moving.

I'm not a twit. What's he said now ?

You'd think he'd be better off aiming his ire at the likes of BAE and those who'll get jobs at the Wilton cracker plant.

True enough.

Have a look on YT at his goals. A surprising amount come from balls from, if not down the channels and him peeling off his marker.

That may not be far off a goal a game average for him.

Is he arriving from Brazil on Saturday or sorting stuff in France for a couple of days then coming ? Could mean a difference to jet lag legginess.

Can't wait for this game. Not necessarily looking forward to it but kind of want it over with so I have a slightly better idea of where we're at.

I do. Reading between the lines, the managers quotes earlier in January, looks like the owners wanted Defoe back, the manager didn't and they took their choice. If so, considering their position, that's a gamble.

So likely to be out injured Again.

That may be down to it being obvious the type of ball we'd put in. Last season when Willock played further up we had more options. We need that centre midfield to be breaking towards the edge of the box.

I'd like to think having Bruno in there gives more of a goal threat throughout.

Not sure if he would this season mind. Work Mackems say one of the issues they don't have enough cloggers and thumpers for that league.

I think Shelvey will be in just long enough till Howe is assured Bruno gets the tempo and physicality. Hopefully the entire team gets to be better for having someone like Bruno in there.

Oh right. I remember someone posting the tweet but didn't remember the name.

Who is he ? What's he done ?

I don't buy all that astrology crap. But I'm a Gemini so I would say that.

Sounds Glaswegian.

That's what I'm expecting.

It's quite possible he will, more so because he'll probably start every game he's fit. Wood will hopefully start about 6.
