You have articulated it perfectly. There are too many that get so offended by labels that they in themelves become obtrusive. It is easy to forget that footballers are people too, and not always champagne swigging, coke snorting, whore f***kng, spoilt rich kids.

I'm still amazed that he's not still a youngster from the reserves.

Agree it was completely genuine once he was in the situation. No decent human would be able to fake what he has done and I admire what he has done since. So yes he is one of the good guys now, but.... he would never have got involved in the first place if his agent didn't make him.

And we couldn't beat them

I will not argue as he has done some charity stuff, but the Bradley thing was done more to improve his reputation for being a c**t than it was for Bradley. He may well have changed as the years have passed, but he was certainly known early on for thinking he was something messi style special and had far more of an ego than his ability justified.

He was an old cunt when he left them in the first place. Good player, proper poacher, and always seemed to save his best for us. As a person though, can't agree that he's a top bloke. Always came across as a complete and total k**bhead who knew he was rich and famous and wasn't shy of showing it.

Mourinho needs a team where he is the main man plain and simple. Yes he might be going a little stale now, but if he showed up here he'd be lauded and would be afforded a massive amount of patience.

Consistently

Saudi Helicopter back in wilton today

Could sell it as... Play well and you'll be the hero Keep us up and you will be loved If it doesn't work you can go to whoever wants you If it does you will be seen as the starter for something great You will be paid more than you can imagine

I thought it was pretty well known that he'd already left, and was only here to show how a transfer worked?

https://www.football365.com/news/premier-league-worst-xi-lukaku-chelsea-southampton-everton Somehow we don't have a single player in here!

roll our sleeves up

So basically a third of the fans love him immediately, a third are totally indifferent, and the other third are half a mile out to sea hoping Sewpa Kev will stick it to the Mags?

This. Either everyones keeping quiet or there's not much going on. We all know agents and journalists are physically not capable of leaking whats going on to someone

Plus work harder, 442, direct long ball to the big man. No foreigner fancy tricks. Might have won a trophy once by accident Excels at being promoted to PL, but struggles to keep a team there. Its always the referees fault Scouting consists of former clubs and mates Media love them Basically Mike Bassett

Release clauses used to be set at prices the club's thought no-one would ever pay to ensure the club's got a decent price if they did sell. Problem for the Spanish club's is they've not adjusted them and they are no longer out of reach for some club's to afford

Justification for an unprecedented massive sponsorship with Saudia

Only if the player is absolutely desperate to leave and is willing to sacrifice the 'loyalty' bonus.

This....there's 7 or 8 that come in and out of Durham/Tees every day, that Flightradar don't even pick up. I can't imagine there's too many smoggies that can run a learjet

I really hope Max Power is still with them. Because he's the man you'd love to touch, but you must not touch

Well lets be fair....out full strength team did just lose to L1 relegation candidates Cambridge However if the question was reversed i couldn't answer as I literally do not know any of their players anymore unless Will Grigg is still there

Exactly this....football is football, it's not like there's different rules in every other league. He should focus on how a player will integrate with the current lot and work as part of a team. PL experience does not mean good...Ciaran Clarke has PL experience, and we've all seen how well thats worked out

having watched that this is all i can think of....

Only because it wasn't them. When a big fat cheque comes their way they'll bend over like any two bit whore I'd say it would be Tottenham that would be the most un-co-operative, as they're the most likely to lose out when we get back to the top.
