James

Pardew’s Crench signings were often quite quick fire. Think Rafa had a burst too

He doesn’t have an injury record as much as Shearer didn’t. Two ACLs over three years ago and only one moderate injury since

Three of those had a terrible attitude though and three of those all wanted to be Number 10. That was part of the problem. Lots of neglected weak areas in that team and an on TV / vs Big Clubs mentality.

Same agent as Lazaar?

Don’t Panic!

Adam Armstrong then

If they come back it will be some shadow company with its own structure. We won’t initially realise it’s them

He’s a good player but the way he refused to sign a short contract extension to help Bournemouth escape relegation in case he got injured and jeopardised his next contract was a very poor. Reminiscent of Michael Owen really

He was in my FM team that got Exeter into the CL but I then sold him and bought Chilwell from Chelsea

Sounds like something is up, according to the Mag: After announcing this as a friendly, NUFC and Middlesbrough agree at last minute to change it to a ‘training match’ no team news, media or in game updates. Match bets were voided. Shelvey disappeared Lascelles sent off for violent conduct Lost 5-1 Will be possible that something leaks out from this.

Nice and baggy should have gotten Steve Bruce to model it

Other than Joelinton this is a good forward line if pulled off. Just then get a LB and a CM of just moderate respectability and you have a mid table team there. If "pulled off". Makes it sound like a dream. Anyone still wanting Ashleys club to do well is beyond help. Remember how we finished comfortably mid table such that someone very credible paid a £17m deposit to try and buy us? Of course you don’t as you need mental help for your hatred of women! But for the purpose of everyone else, pulling off a mid table squad on the cheap is longer term the best outcome for escaping this purgatory.

They’ve faked their death on a canoe but really living in a Granny-annexe in the house

Especially when

It’s unbelievable really. He’s a £15m asset who can potentially yield much much more £ based on key saves like he did last season. You’ve lost the yield and devalued the asset. Most businesses around the world would be getting rid of the individuals responsible.

Unless we are intending to raise £45m by selling Lejeune Schar and Lascelles of course in which case might be a good deal

HBA wouldn’t have been a regular in SBR’s team bit he would have taken the LuaLua role and turned quite a few games

MBS will never take the test. Within his country he is beyond reproach. In their eyes just being tested by a piddling organisation such as the PL would be a national embarrassment and a sign of real weakness and impotence. Bad things would befall PIF even if they entertained the idea of MBS taking the test so they will walk away rather than asking.

Not surprising really that the club would react this way to the current climate after takeover fell through. The club need to revert to my Football Manager no budget strategy where I: Sell any player who can be suitably replaced by a cheaper player or through academy promotion and then spend the money on improving the weaker areas. In this situation, Dubravka, any two of our centre backs, Ritchie, Atsu, Muto, and Joelinton all have to go.

According to the Chronicle we are working with Lazaar’s agent to find a new left back

Mum had cancer

Would be interested in trying to bring back Clarence Acuna and Jamie McClen if we could

Think of who we could get on loan with the Toney fee
