Shelveys Hair

Seen rumours of Martin Skrtel.. a Rafa type signing experienced Premier League defender. I wonder if that is the hold up with Florian Lejeune.

Tammy Abraham to Swansea will be because of Paul Clement who was a youth coach, senior coach and assistant manager of Chelsea.

Its this Ashley's right hand man that worries me.. he came in December and no deals were made. It was reported deals have to go through him and he is trying to make the club look attractive to investors. (Which loosely translates to only buying players with resale value.) We were supposed to be in talks with investors, then it was we are trying to attract investment. Sounds like Mike is up to his old shenanigans. But as pointed out our first signing last year was 28th of June and then we went on to sign 12? or something like that. Maybe its something to do with the books.

Would be a good signing but the fucking The S*n man.. that rag needs to be confined to the dustbins.

Transfers still have to go through Mike Ashley's right hand man.. I cant see us signing players unless they have resale value. That said Carr leaving could be the start of something different.

In Norway you used to get all 3pm Saturday games on TV but got changed to just a couple because of all the streaming. Isnt the worry for clubs that every game live would kill attendances?

He just usually reports media stories.. which we know from ours is largely bollox

I didnt think of of that.. how very astute.

Did we not wait until July to spend the last 2 summers? I might be wrong but I remember making a comment on it the season we were relegated. At the time I was wondering if it was something to do with the accounts.

AC Milan but only just took over I think.

So if this drags on for how many ever weeks and falls through we are basically fucked. I wonder if its got something to do with the election ;D

Never liked Mike Ashley and had many an argument with people defending him early doors.. But now he has give me what I wanted from the start. A manager who knows how to run a club and has a plan for the future, can train and try to bring out the best of what we have. While Ashley takes a back seat and backs the manager. He is where he should be "invisible" I will give him credit when/if Rafa is allowed to accomplish his goal of taking us somewhere decent without interfering.

Supposedly a freekick specialist

Its absolute crazy money.. some of the prices quoted for players is getting ridiculous.

Josh King and Sigurdsson would get us goals.. Had a feeling Lucas might end up here but given his age and what not. Would take Phil Jones' ugly moy.. Leaves striker and a LB?

Over the last 4 seasons (including this) we have won just 1 Monday night game losing the other 11. Thats some stat

Pretty sure that was a lot of Liverpool's fans complaints with him.. upwards and onwards.

Does anyone get the feeling Sports Direct will be our next shirt sponsors? Its perfect timing to be fair.. we have a top manager, likely to get promoted and all the fans our behind the club. If Rafa gets backed in the summer, it will be interesting to see how people take it.

We're going to win this 5-3

Mitrovic has scored more PL goals in a season than Gayle, scored more Champions League goals than Gayle despite being 22 yo. I like Gayle and I hope he takes it up to the Premier League, but this hatred of Mitro by some fans is ridiculous. Maybe he doesnt fit Rafa's tactics, maybe its a lack of confidence after relegation, maybe he hasnt had enough of a run of games through injury/selection. The same with Sels comes to a new country, doesnt settle in straight away and is lambasted on social media by absolute retards, there is plenty of examples of foreign players taking time to settle at clubs before coming good. If Mitrovic converted every chance he would unreal.. what is it 6 in 9 for him?

Im sure when we score early in the game we usually play shit for the remainder of it.

Rafa would be foolish to say he doesnt want to leave the club.. it would weaken his hand when it comes to talks at the end of the season.

Personally I dont think the club wanted to sign any players in the January window for whatever reason, I suspect its something to do with accounting. I also think Carr might have Ashley's ear. But if it was just as simple as Palace trying to do us over and make us pay more money for Townsend than they payed, then why not communicate that to Rafa. Surely being upfront and honest would make for a better understanding of the situation. Instead it makes the club look fractured.

Never fancied Barrow to be honest.. We are in much better position to sign better players in the summer anyways. I get the feeling we dont want a transfer fee on the accounts at this time for some reason
