Pass. Think I read though that it was now harder for South American (and so also maybe Oceanic) players to get permits over EU players. I don’t know the specifics though. It’s also to do with how many minutes the player has played for their club team, standard of international tournaments they’ve been involved in etc that add up to getting the 15 points required, so maybe Garnacho played more youth games or something?

Presume having the Spanish passport makes things easier, even after Brexit?

Dual nationality (Arg/Spain) might help?

Their annual sponsorship is over 100m than the rest of the other 19 teams combined. It’s ridiculous. Once the Qataris go, that sponsorship will dry up too.

Which is why the French league is the only major league with tv income less than €1bn (at €725m). Without the cash the Qataris pump into the club (they injected over €300m lump sum just a few seasons ago), PSG will plummet again, like they did before the Qatari takeover when they were close to going bust. No one wanting a growth to their investment will consider buying the club once the Qataris decide they’re bored and it doesn’t fit their purpose any more.

£515kpw to barely play, and slag his own club off….ahahahahahahaaaaa

I was talking about Digne kicking the lad in the leg whilst missing the ball- as clear a penalty as you’ll ever see.

Yeah- a head injury also counts even if it’s on the other team and they take a player off (I think?). Not 100% sure on the rules about that part.

Plus there’s an additional potential substitution period at half time- 3 in game and one at the break.

Maybe. Just couldn’t see where he’d fit with us in all honesty. I know he does fine, but I also just don’t see him as excellent.

Mount? Fuck that. Other than being out of contract in 18 months so might be relatively cheap, I’d prefer a lot of other potential signings before him.

Yes- he needs to build a career first. A few games per year at PSG isn’t going to do that.

Howe: in work from 6 til late Bruce: fucks training off and asks a mate

Used our three sub ‘times’ though.

Howe: every cloud has a silver lining Bruce: Choudhury and Elmo his choice of signing

Got away with a blatant penalty though, ‘Big 6’ style… ?

Howe: Big Joe’s fucking brill Bruce: all the players are stood still

Howe: different training each day Bruce: shouts “let’s play!”

Howe: what’s not to like Bruce: took the cash from Fat Mike

Howe: mental gymnastics Bruce: zero tactics

Howe: always a plan Bruce: yesterday’s man

Howe: lit an inferno Bruce: wants to slap a journo

Looked like he was trying to pass it into the far corner, but the deflection took it more away from the goal and towards Eriksen instead.

Was a shot that came off the Fulham players heel?

Howe: Hopes exceeded Bruce: Defib needed
