Did most of his scoring during school holidays didn’t he?

Surely that first paragraph is all very illegal and if true would land the club in loads of bother.

Sheffield United signing Robinson the left back from Wigan who was supposed to be going to AC Milan last January, fee is £2m. Surely we should’ve been interested at that price.

Applause.

My view - Agreement was in place for 300m if completed by a certain date, that date has now passed and Ashley has asked for more money and they’ve pulled out.

Didn’t Caulkin say that any correspondence goes through the current owners first and they then have to contact the buyers ?

If they can replace 3/4 of his goals they’ll probably be better off with less of an absolute loose cannon.

They need to just start Idah from now on, he’s the future for them especially in the Championship.

Can we put a part claim in for Milner? He spent more time in our first team than Henderson did in theirs and he’s won a considerable amount more.

4 years seems a bit OTT

Mauriss is a chancer looking to get his TV company some publicity. https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/11974976/filing-history https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/officers/r8lmIk5KgV3_w3MC4IjbWg_WTNY/appointments

Yep, money.

If we get taken over and these Saudis are as serious as they sound about making us a force, Matty wouldn't be apart of it. Why not? If Bruce is peddled and a top class manager with a top class coaching staff comes in why wouldn't he be able to improve?

It's ridiculous really, imagine how much Saivet has cost in transfer fees and wages since he's been here and we won't pay a promising young player the going rate to keep him. Under a better manager I don't see why M Longstaff couldn't be a regular squad player, there's no reason to me why even if in 2 years time he hasn't really cut though as top class that we couldn't get at least £5m for him. It should be a no brainer to just keep him as he clearly wants to stay.

He absolutely should be staying, there's plenty other young English players who've played less games who will be on more than £15k/week at other clubs, it's a joke of an offer.

It's probably to do with the out and out typical number 9 not being deployed as often, going back to the 90's you had almost every side lining up with at least 1 and possibly even 2 in their side. These days you're lucky if a side plays with 1, as far as world class ones now you're probably looking at Aguero, Kane and Lewandowski.

They'll bring a lot more to the Premier League than Mike Ashley ever has that's for sure.

Willian seems like the kind of wide player who would comfortably be able to move inside and play centrel in the last few years of his career, he's still got a couple of seasons at Champions League level I reckon. City took Vieira (with an eye to coaching) when he was on his last legs, there's a lot to say for adding professionalism, leadership and experience when trying to build a squad.

Tapsoba looks really good for Leverkusen.

What’s happened to Piatek after those first 6 months at Milan?

PSG aside French football is going to be absolutely shafted for the next few years.

Fair point but knowing everyone on that pitch with you has tested negative must be fairly reassuring still. A lot more reassuring than a lot of workers who will be coming into contact with dozens of strangers on a daily basis. If they don't come back next month then I reckon that means it's finished for a long time. As the situation will be no different in September for example with no vaccine. The game would implode if it was away for a year or more it's just not sustainable. That's why it has to come back and it will in the next 4 weeks or so yeah i agree, at some point we're either going to have to accept that there's a risk and do what is necessary to mitigate it or lockdown until there's a vaccine (which isn't practicable) if i was being tested multiple times a week and knew the others players and staff involved all were (down to everyone, bus drivers, cleaners, cooks whoever) then i'd personally consider the risk acceptable And as soon as one person tests positive? Isolate and trace no? Just like real countries are doing for normal people. Just a shame they would've been unable to follow government guidelines when it comes to safe working practice in the first place.

Is it safe though if you're knowingly competing against and with players who have been in contact with people who have tested positive like the 3 Brighton players from last week and I'm sure there will be more staff/players who test positive over the next few weeks. Money is the sole reason they're being asked to play again, is the government going to ask multi-millionaire Pop Stars or Actors to play a concert or go back on set to raise morale. What happens if a West Ham player catches it a week before a relegation decider?

Yet half a hour ago he’s saying this.

The general apathy I've felt with football in general has definitely contributed to me posting less, it's unfortunate that apathy has lasted since 2009 aside from the NFL thread. HTT even seems to have found his way there in the form of Shak.
