LFEE

Good players that you are having to convince to join your club tend to say no if they see you selling your better players.

I’d go back to her son and her illness. I know she says it helps keeping busy but there’s one thing keeping busy doing something you can switch on and off when needed and another that would have her travelling around a lot still I’d imagine. That and she’s possibly in a little bit of denial about the illness whilst confirming she’s missed too much time already raising her son. Obviously I’ll be proven wrong if they get involved in a big way with another club but I’d be surprised if it was anything near the level of what she was with us.

More frustration than condescension 👍🏻 They both spent a lot of money but not sure either are much stronger if at all for it. None of them have bought anyone I would say we are the other top teams were clamouring for. Time will tell though. Going forward all the windows will be like this as the stronger our first eleven get the harder it is to find improvements. Especially ones that will justify certain layouts. We are clearly being choked financially by the rules whereas Man Utd and Villa have more wriggle room due to Grealish etc sales and vast sponsorship income. Judge the window when it closes. It’s the only way.

Waiting for the players that we want which we think will improve the first eleven come available at the prices & wages we can afford. Is it really that difficult to understand?

Called it at the time about her son and also her disease. They’ve ultimately hired people to replace themselves Full Time when going forward that would be hard for them and they have to trust those they hired to do the jobs given. They probably realised they were too close (especially to EH & the players) which might cause conflict of interests at certain times of the season when tough decisions need to be made. Shame as it no doubt had it’s benefits also. Wish them nothing but the best for their family and would welcome them back any time they wished to return.

Will be interesting if we have any buy back clause etc in the deal.

Who said we had a poor window last summer? Coming to fruition now. Such a shame Tonali can’t be involved in games like this. Disgraceful really.

Only for the fourth or fifth time this half 😆

What you watching? All the dangerous crosses have come from our right 😆

Hall such a good positive passer.

Murphy still the most dangerous crosser of a ball on the run at the club.

Very good tempo for a friendly so far.

Code taken but been given another if anyone struggling.

No plans to use my discount code if anyone needs one. First come first served.

How were the queue numbers out of interest? Mate was on dot on for 10am and was 5000+

That and after they supported him throughout his entire ban his first interview is all about him wanting to leave for a big club. Hope we stay well clear and judging by Fee/Wages/Age and need to start most games I think we’ll be safe.

Very sad. First foreign top I ever bought.

The problem is too many fans think signing a player is simply identifying them, agreeing a fee and personal terms then booking a medical and them signing the contract.

They have 🙂 Thats the next phase after first phase have picked their seats. There’s a first come first served phase (queue/man walking). Then there is the third phase which is the returns/re-sells from corporate/ST Holders.

Apparently this goal was disallowed an hour after the final whistle via VAR and they’ve had to replay the last minute hours after final whistle 😆

I’m normally reasonable with journalists however I’ve never known Graeme Bailey have a good word to say about us and loves to stir the pot.

No Olympics footy thread? Or just other games? This looked fun…
