Fuck gentrification.

Ah that's a shame. The owner dead too (13 years ago! fuck!) - that's a shame. He used to appear in Viz, I seem to remember. Had some great nights down the Bigg Market and then to the Rupali. Before people started going down the Quayside to drink instead. In my time there were two reasons to be down the quayside at night - desperate grab a granny nights at Julie's, or decent beer at the Cooperage (which is probably a fucking hotel nowadays)

Just once more, as I have already said this, but having watched him at close quarters here and subsequently at the Dogheads, I can not for the life of me understand why Spurs want Adama Traore. He's not even a footballer.

He'll get a lot of goodwill from fans of other clubs, good to see him back. Although personally, I think he's nuts, no matter how much he likes playing football. I like drinking beer and eating curry but if I'd found myself clinically dead from doing it, only to survive, I wouldn't be heading down the Rupali* any time soon. *please tell me the Rupali is still there

Clause expired last year. He’s at best decent. Gives the ball away far too often for my liking.

He's a bit on and off. When he's on, he's excellent, though. I think we look OK, need to convert some relatively decent football into goals more often though.

Late to the party on this one. Targett is defensively very solid indeed. Had a poor first season with us, then a brilliant second one (think he was player of the year, or thereabouts). If we let him go, it'll be because he doesn't offer enough going forward, and attacking full backs is a key tenet of Gerrard's way of playing. If you're looking for a defensively very strong full back, though, Targett is definitely that. I'd much rather keep him, even if he's now behind Digne.

There's no way it will be us. We're not about to spend that much on a centre half.

Not from an ageing racist prick, no.

Hmmm, rather not.

You're 19th in the table and in a bad place. You can't just pretend that doesn't make a difference. We had to actually get relegated and almost go into administration before our rich owners rescued us and we started moving in the right direction. You are at an earlier phase in disaster recovery. It's bound to be tougher with stuff like this.

Jacob Ramsey has frightening potential. His younger brother is at the club too, and reckoned to have always been more promising.

I would be utterly amazed if that were true. He is absolute garbage, too.

Gerrard's style of play is all about full backs. Targett is good defensively but awful at the other end of the pitch. That'll be why he has signed Digne.

If i was a professional footballer, I'd steer clear of all forums and social media. In fact, I probably wouldn't bother getting broadband at all.

This tweet in reply is absolutely magnificent (not having a pop or dig at the player, just made me laugh)

Absolutely not, never ever tracks back. Ever. Scored some important goals for us, though, to be fair. He's not a bad player at all, but £15m? Naah

El Ghazi to Everton for £15m? He's not a bad player, but 15m? I'M HAVING A BIT OF THAT.

Again, nice stuff.

He's not been here long but the difference Gerrard has made is huge.

Bravo!

Anyone else heard the Diego Swarfega rumours? I think he'd do a job, but possibly a bit old now? one for the old ones, there

There's no way we'll be paying anything like that, I'd have thought.

El Ghazi is excellent on his day. He just lacks consistency.

McKirdy. Another of our youth team products. I had wondered what had happened to him.
