James Maddison (now playing for Tottenham Hotspur)
greydos replied to The Prophet's topic in Football
As if he did “f**k all.” 20 goal involvements! Leicester went down because of defence not attack. As if Maddison’s responsible for sorting the defence out. And the only way to drag up that defence is effectively for him to score even more goals and assists, which is a massively unfair ask -
So Harrison Ashby hates Tiger Woods? Given our owners now own golf Ashby’s got to go! There’s no room in football for Sportism!
-
It could be the end of the world: NUFC lose Bruno and N-O is no longer engaging & entertaining! Worrying.
-
Probably the wrong thread to ask this, but has Grealish slagged off one of our players yet? I’m hoping he goes all in on Willock to release his goal-scoring prowess.

The write-up in The Athletic about Zubimendi’ of Sociedad is absolutely drool-worthy. He’s basically Busquets regen with a Modric add-on. Let’s hope Nickson spotted him when scouting Isak!

This some HTT schtick? He back?

That is utter filth!

This is where I’m at. Unashamedly

I said nothing about the first point. The second misrepresents my view on January. I was always clear that there was no need to take a RISK by not signing a midfielder. I said even if we make top 4 without signing one (and letting Shelvey go), it’s still a risk of falling away in the Carabao and the league. Now we fell away in one and not the other. Maybe we’d have done better in Carabao with an extra midfielder, maybe not who knows. My view was that the risk wasn’t worth it, not that it was a guaranteed bad move.

It’s Kaka. How much more credible could you want man?

With a rough Diamond, Hearts will always be the wrong Club. Needs to be somewhere that’ll put in the Spade work. A team in Texas that can hold em til they’re 21 is what we want. (the things we come up with whilst passing time on the loo)

I wish lol! No not at all. When I play golf, the trees hope for a bit of wind so they can sway out the way of my shots!

It’s like someone filmed me playing a 7iron only challenge round my local golf course

That would be King Eddie doing his best to win manager of the season next year!

It’s certainly true in the case of certain agents who are currently arguing over the rights to a prem player’s contract. He’s pretty high level and they have a number of players on their books so likely very widespread.
-
It totally is outrageous, given that being an agent is a largely unregulated business. It just adds a little more perspective on player wage demands. They might be asking for more as they have ongoing liabilities to their agent/staff. It’s a bit like a boxer having to pay trainer’s wages etc out of their fight earnings, the headline figure might not reveal the whole picture.
-
Interesting point on player’s wages. The agent takes their percentage not just on the transfer fee and/or signing on fee, but also of the entire wages throughout the contract. So if an agent is on say 10% commission for Tielemans, the agent will pocket £20k per week through the contract at £200k.

I want Chris Rigg for the fume!

Champions League 2023/2024: Group F (Newcastle, Milan, Dortmund, PSG)

I really can’t tell if I like this :-S -
It’s clear as day that Maxi has Isak’s respect for his skills. That’s commendation enough for me. Maxi stays
-
I agree but only for today. And if they lose my truce will end at full time.

30 cattle up a steep hill!

Second time I’m crying before I’m even doing the school run. Bloody hell I’m a mess!

I suggest we make New Astor a proper kingdom. Make Eddie the King, all monies the club generates comes to him, then he dishes the money out to whom he pleases. Gives players peerages and titles, same with staff etc.
