Lazarus

Hes the same as that bloke who lived in the airport for 20 years - just waiting for someone to claim him

Mon dieu, Mon dieu!

Hes 6ft6 on FM and on my current game hes still with burnley but injured with a dislocated shoulder

Again - the question to ask is what can he become under Howe and his staffs guidance. Hes young, already has a good amount of experience, relatively cheap compared to an outfield player of similar status, appears to have a ceiling higher than his current level and we are about to lose 1 if not 2 of our keepers. Hes also (when he plays) gonna be behind the likes of Tripps, Schar, Botman, Tino, Burn, Hall which should give him a lot of confidence. And everyday - hes gonna be facing shots from Isak, Wilson, Bruno, Tonali, Flash, Barnes and Longstaff () and the rest. Even if it takes him a season to adjust to his new environment - whats not to like?

Some proper wet blankets in this thread - jesus wept. Hes picked a club offering a higher wage and is also in Europe, and possibly wont even have to move house. Good luck to him.

One of them on redcafe saying this about us - after Sir Jim Batshit has alienated their staff in the IT dept and the FA cup things

FYP

I get the feeling this could be become the soap opera of the summer with both parties getting increasingly bitter. All because Shetland Danny couldnt immediately join them.

Another game at 8AM on Friday.

Ashby has been to Tindalls dentist

Think its 10:45 AM Also - why is this in the preseason thread?

Ive watched vids on youtube of this Marmaduke and while he looks good I dont think hes all that. But like any signing, the question is what can Howe and his team do with him?

Nah - no way is he better technically than Longstaff. Or Silkstaff as Ive been calling him.

Have I been living under a rock or is it completely out of the blue?

Love a bit of Flash but Id be open to him leaving if it meant we could replace with that Verasheila lad at Napoli

Isnt that cos Bruce is no longer managing?

Just been reading that Sir Jim Batshit wants to bring Ole back. He hasnt got a scooby

While its always sexy to spunk a load of money on a galactico signing, I reckon some are forgetting that we need to improve the overall quality of the 25 man squad, not just the 1st 11. Have we all forgotten the state of our bench options this season?

Its traditional.

And then Jimbos telly.

Hes got a picture of himself on his arm? I hope he goes full steve-o with a MASSIVE tatt of his gurning face on his back.
