James

Maybe his height is linked to his age?

I know there are a few countries with Congo in their name - is he from the same Congo as Kazenga and Unique Treasure (so good they named him twice)

I would consider us overstocked in the central midfield area now. Doubt we will see a DM unless we sell.

When do we find out the results of his visa application?

Gouffran was a striker in France. Cabella was an attacking midfielder.

I've never heard of Graeme. Famous Freddy Shepherd quote about a decade ago?

I have never heard of this lad and neither has Graeme

I'd imagine there might be a lag with the media team being in USA .

I would accept the Partizan game if it meant this guy became a fan, signs for us and helps us to win a trophy.

Were Obertan and McClaren at Man Utd together?

Nothing really to infer for team selection or quality. Just a shitty first pre season game as usual.

I cycle down Blue Moon Way every day so that's consistent.

This. Do we currently have one player who can deliver a good cross? Sissoko, Cabella, Janmaat I've only actually seen good consistent crossing from Janmaat and Aarons

Because his fitness will decrease that rapidly if he's just left to train solo in Eindhoven Altitude training innit

Two things we miss about Shearer I see little discussed: 1. The Fear Factor - maybe not in the Premier League, but in Europe you would get players so in awe of him that they would do silly things like back passes. 2. Referee influence - he knew how to get what he wanted off the ref 9 times out of 10

Also regarding talk of being able to offload Williamson, not only is he not good enough for many clubs, Carver accusing him of getting sent off on purpose will have potentially put off a good number of other clubs.

I know that, but it is the club's stated policy on the contrary.

Like I said yesterday we are going to have to sell as according to the rule book we actually have too many players. Of course removing Ferguson and Vuckic, Rob Elliot and Williamson is preferable to losing Sissoko, but are there takers?

I have just had a look at the player count at the club. This is important as it was a states club policy to not employ more than the permitted 25 players. Including Perez (not sure of cut off date) and Sammy we have 26. So we have too many players and the club will not be active in the transfer market (by their stated policy) unless they get rid of players.

I think the immigrants would be perfectly happy living in the countryside free of oppression if allowed. There are worse things than grizzly bears in other parts of the world.

Move on, we are on to Norwegian immigration now.

Too much land in Norway. Should probably send the immigrants there by the boatload.

It's an above average house though...

Would say a house like that would fetch 600k to 1.5m in the UK depending on location so would be worth more than James Perch. UK average price is 170k so in UK terms it is at least three times average. That's not how you do the equation though. Need to look at the average wage in relation to average SQM prices. Value is nothing, perceptions are everything and a straw poll will indicate that this house is a very nice house.

Maybe the minutes will include discussion of Lee Charnley's house.
