LFEE

Pretty sure that was the guy I heard on TalkSport discussing Barnes & us and even he was doubting his own story that we needed another LW ?

Great effort @kocunar ?

They can do their business early as they are higher in the pecking order than us. They also pay far bigger wages than us. Once the biggest payers have their top targets others fall into place for the likes of us. Yes there will be an odd exception but for example Rice would never come to us as much as EH would love him until Man City said no, then Arsenal, then Chelsea, then Liverpool, then Spurs. Even Villa could’ve arguably snare him ahead of us. So for argument sake if he was on all their lists and eventually they went for targets elsewhere in that position as the window progresses he’d fall in our lap near the end of the window. So in short we are in that awkward position of having a smaller pool of players we are interested in that we think will improve us and fit into our group ethos and wage structure. All these are susceptible to being enticed elsewhere for bigger wages as competing teams will also fancy them too. It’s only when those doors close that they open for us. In a few years time when we can/are paying around the £200-50kpw mark we might be able to move/entice quicker. I’d say we are at least 3 seasons away from that though.

Fair enough if so. Just would’ve thought all of them would’ve been on their phones if that was the case. Nowt wrong with good manners is there?

4 of them with phones in their hands ?‍♂️

Hull City?

He did ok but didn’t really stand out. Didn’t help him ESR kept delaying the forward pass which would’ve released him. Would’ve been nice if he’d put away his one big chance just before being subbed. Will do him good to learn this new role so he becomes more flexible in his play. Main thing is he doesn’t pick up a daft injury.

Not in Germany Italy or Spain where we seem to be targeting. France opened 10th June and us the 14th as you stated but July 1st is when everyone is open and things start to slowly happen. Also start of the new accounting year for football also I believe.

Has the window really only been open 5 days? And closes… 31st August? ?

£7m but your point still stands. And these days that’s not even seen as crazy money ?

They’re actually just started shooting the next series near me currently ? The production buses and catering van appeared yesterday across the road from me again like last series.

Should be 2-0 3mins ago if Wenger had his way ?

Feel like I’m watching West Germany v Austria 1982 ?

1-0 MGW for England. Good header/shoulder.

Was just going to say Gloukh looks tidy and decisive.

On a similar subject is it true Shearer sold his house in Darras Hall?

Next gen tooth girl ? Anyone see her around these days?

Works fine on iOS if that helps. Says unavailable on my Fire TV. Wonder if it’s because it’s one of the originals and doesn’t support something ??‍♂️ It’s not working on PS4 either ??‍♂️

Will it even let you download the app? Mine says unavailable so only available via a browser which is a ball ache also ?

I agree. VAR says yes after a 3 minute wait ? MGW takes and misses after Gordon does a Trippier ?

Gordon wins a penalty after England should’ve scored.

It would be good to have clarity as I had argued the reason we would miss out on Slob (if we were really serious on him) was the exact scenario the Athletic reported weirdly but then I remembered I was corrected on here (maybe even by yourself?) and told the need to pay the majority/all of the fee in one go would not affect us on the FFP front. I hold my hands up and have little to know real knowledge on accounting or FFP apart from possibly some very primitive basics. Didn’t we have to create a load of shares to cover the Gordon Fee for example? What was all that about?

Some journalist on Talksport claiming we are definitely looking at a left winger despite him agreeing with H&J that we seem to be already strong and overstocked in that position. Also said he thought if the fee was £30m we would still find it too expensive. Sounds like we see him similar to as we did Maddison 12 months ago. If we see big value we will throw our hat in the ring but if it becomes a bidding war and fee much north of £20-25m we’ll sit it out.
