£23-5m difference if my maths right. 5yrs x£200kpw Vs 5yrs x£100kpw. Give or take a few KPW.

I’d definitely say Wraith’s channel probably more for you as aimed at the older fanbase. Despite his faults he puts a lot of effort into giving some variety with all his shows. They aren’t without some nonsense but probably 3 Amigos the best pick for you or Supetmac & Gibbo. I personally like the Ben Jacobs one. Would give it a second chance perhaps as was a little different to usual due to Wraith being in a fettle all week it seemed on his shows. Normally he just poses questions and Jacobs does virtually all the talking which to me is preferable ?

Depends. How old are you?

Always maintain this guy would’ve won us the league as a better fit but we ended up missing out and getting Tino instead. Still not sure i would’ve changed anything mind ? https://x.com/80s90sfootball/status/1748965441060421748?s=46&t=DDNXUN2PoOBhgKmoF77zNw

Not world class but I rember seeing a very young and relatively unknown Paul Merson play for Arsenal in a indoor Soccer 6 tournament live on TV and thought he looked brilliant. Shame he didn’t have any off field discipline as he had a great footballing brain and physically very good. Also remember watching Marcelino play for us against Alnwick Town thinking I could’ve run rings round him bad finger or not ?

Yep. Keep getting told this is a poor/average Liverpool team. Not sure what these people are watching. Maybe not the most exciting version but highly efficient with plenty of goals in them alongside the best all round GK and CH in the league. Great combination.

It’s the club policy so wouldn’t worry. Obviously the deal has to be right for the club but hierarchy have made it clear they don’t want anyone here who doesn’t want to be here.

In fairness it is two things EH looks for in a player. Not saying it’s his ultimate aim/priority but he does want a physically dominating team.

In his defence you are always going to struggle to attract certain players to Bournemouth and less so others. I could be wrong but I do think the dressing room camaraderie plays as just a big a part as the ability of a player. Probably thinks it’s easier to improve a good player than integrate a very good prick for want of a better word. The fact Botman and Tonali were both his no.1 choices each summer shows he’s open to the European market.

Ben Jacobs saying he might not be able to start until the summer or season after.

Don’t adore him but think he’s underrated and would’ve been a good fit to our squad for this season with the extra games as felt we were going into the season one light in midfield along with a young centre forward to blood. Started with me thinking he was as good as pound for pound player in comparison to the Serbian lad who played for Lazio (Fee/Wage demands) who I didn’t think we could afford due to wage structure despite being told different and who is now playing his peak years out in Saudi Arabia earning a pittance I’m sure…

Bit poor the club haven’t put a Tweet out to say happy birthday to their best ever player…

Billing ?

Why wait. Do it now. Still half a season left.

The guy I mentioned Vickery was on about a few days ago that sounded a good fit for us…

I have to say I’m a bit baffled by those who have memberships for the full season giving up on applying because they’ve only been successful 1-2 games so far. It just doesn’t make sense to me at all. You paid for the ability to put your name in a hat 22 times at phase 1 and a chance to get a ticket in phase 2 re-sale. Do it. Come the end of the season judge wether your £37 or whatever it was was worth it. You might miss out on the first 11 games but just as easily be successful in the last 11 ?‍♂️

£50m combined would be enough at this stage of our trajectory. £20 ASM got us Barnes Livramento.

They haven’t been signaling they need to sell one of the big boys. They will need to sell. Likely someone regularly playing in the squad. Even EH clarified this when asked. I’d say most vulnerable is Wilson, Miggy, Longstaff and a bit more left of field Burn. If we sell one of Bruno, Isack or Botman this summer I will apologise. I think the signalling is more to soften the blow when they announce they need to move to a new stadium and also put pressure on the current rules by keeping it in the media’s attention IMO.

Does seem a little odd but I guess that is the point you can argue. Can imagine the ructions if members getting away ballots due to levels of abuse of system it would lead to but genuine fans like yourself unfairly miss out on having at least a 1% chance.

I missed out again.

I read somewhere that a lot of scouts reckon Gordon would end up there once his upper body strength improves with age.

He was talking about a similar player last week that he was surprised no big/English clubs had went for that sounded perfect for us. Played for Fluminese. Think it was André.
