Glad I didn’t get the shirt printed now.

First Google describes him as “Serie A’s best midfielder”. Will take.

Obviously his career has been badly managed by us, but hard to say if he would have made it in the prem.

Just wouldn't want Maguire here because of the circus around him. We should be buying players on the up without any baggage.

It's just a terrible place to watch football, that's the main problem. Half the point of the lower leagues is the interesting grounds.

Aye, my bills have trebled in the last year

They are a sports marketing company IIRC.

Eddie is good but not sure he’s in the business of converting orthodox Christians He could just be young and a bit thick I guess.

1, 2

Why?

Don't think it's particularly useful to try and apportion it to any particular set of fans. Except if you can find the individuals and punish them of course. I'm sure we all have a lot of work to do. I haven't heard any racist abuse in SJP though, used to more when I was a kid. Online will be where people feel safe enough to actually say it.

Almost every CM mentioned seems to be going to Barca. I might be exaggerating.

Can’t wait to get some proper fan facilities and proper merchandising and all that. Will need a kit manufacturer who can do better than a few photoshop images of players.

Can Barca sign every CM in Europe?

I'm surprised there was so many applications, very unlucky.

It was really difficult to take time to consider the shirt carefully and even try it on at the weekend like, it was more like 'run in, grab what you can and get to the checkout'. That's part of the reason I didn't buy one. It was a bit of a reality check when I actually got to the shop, because the images looked so class but the actual shirt just looked like a normal top with quality that really should cost a lot less.

Then he’ll be slagged off forever for costing £Xm.

Sadly none of them can attack a football in the opposition box

His leg is the size of most people’s entire bodies. I’m in.

Must’ve realised sending talented young lads to get battered in Scotland isn’t the best plan. Announce Shola sacking tomorrow.

That's the feeling I got when I arrived at the shop at the weekend - the design is nice-looking and it's a decent shirt, but at the end of the day I was still standing in front of quite a poor-quality garment with a high price. I think only American sports gear gets close to the quality you would want, the baseball stuff is superb. But it is more expensive as well.

Decided to own it. Genuinely don't know how they're made, I always imagine sweatshop workers.

In Maddison's favour he seems a super intelligent player and could follow instructions very well.

It's a really hard design for a minimum wage machine operator. Or are they embroidered by computer?

Good question, and raises the issue of where Maddison will fit in. No idea personally, unless we're going to 4-2-3-1.
