Playing devils advocate, many clubs manage to sign players with contracts that become effective on a given future date of their choosing. What prevents us? We hear we’ll shop in July but doesn’t that feel like we don’t know who we’re after? Wouldn’t you just approach a players agent and gauge their interest, if interested agree terms, sound out his club and get a deal done? This waiting later in the window talk to see which players are left after the big boys are done or who’s desperate to sell is akin to turning up at the supermarket at the end of the day and waiting for the reductions, do we really operate like that?

This way you find out if a players interested before wasting time approaching the club. Once a player indicates he wants to leave then normally the deal gets done.

I’ve lived in London for years, got to defend it, one of the best cities in the world (though for the record I hate Chelsea).

Disagree, Londons better than any place in the UK if you’re poor. So many free attractions (British museum, science museum, Natural history museum ,Tate modern /Tate Britain, The Welcome Collection, and public spaces like the National theatre, The Southbank centre and British Library reading rooms) so you might not have much in the bank but you don’t need to be bored. Countryside and seaside within 60-90 minutes depending where in London you are. Most London boroughs give those on low incomes free/low fee gym and swim membership at their leisure centres. Also it has more opportunities for education, training and job opportunities to pull yourself up.

Not so good.

Hopefully

We’re not winning the World Cup but we’ve got good players. The FA gave Tuchel a target of winning the World Cup. He is going to pick tried and tested players even if they’re over the hill because he’s got to get us qualified and ready in 12 months so can’t go with a major rework. Blame the FA for their short-termism.

😂

What’s with this “England have never lost to African opponents” shit? Shock horror African players make up some of the best players in the world. Enough with this superior attitude shit.

And Senegal score while I was typing..how shit.

Because he is (was) a good striker and striker is position we’re not blessed with talent.

Shit shot aside Gordon’s been lively.

Hopefully Hall takes the position off him.

Skelly with a couple of stray passes.

Hmmm…I was kinda hoping for more imaginative targets to maximise our budget plus I don’t rate him that highly as from the little I’ve seen he’s a pace merchant with poor decision making.

Swap deal with Longstaff.

Almost had a heartache and then went back a page and realised it’s the Villa one ( I thought the challenging Joelinton comment was some kind of weird dig).

But does everybody love him?

This kids shit is getting on my nerves. They’re hardly plucked out of PSG’s youth teams. They’ve hoovered up the best young talent from within Europe for big fees.

Not really. Bump up the sponsorships as we’re a CL club again, if the league tries to railroad us then go Man City on them. Sponsor the training ground and the stadium. Go for the multi club model and spread costs elsewhere. Saudi Pro league to loan us players and stop buying other clubs has beens for big fees.

Hopefully they play dirty like City, Chelsea, and PSG now.

Doué number three.

Sick skills by Doué.

Can’t believe stewards haven’t located the cunt and had the feds remove it from him.

Not for me, perfect. fired it up at the start of the programme at 6pm.
