Remember beating Northampton at home in 87 I think, the year Wimbledon knocked us out. People dancing on the tables in the bigg market singing ‘where going to Wembley’ after beating them 2-1. Nowt like a cup run to get the city buzzing.

Nee idea mate.

Respect to this guy today and touch of class from a great journalist.

Looking like the main man will be at the game again today. I get the feeling PIF are taking this investment very seriously. Happy fucking days.

Looks a real competitor this guy and has pace.

If we’re after a left back from the Dutch league this is the guy we should be after. https://www.90min.com/posts/owen-wijndal-things-to-know-about-the-dutch-full-back

Interesting that they’ve gone for Piatek looks like Vlahovic could well be away this window. Big fan of Vlahovic and looks an immense signing on paper for someone. Piatek is a warning though, he was banging them in for Genoa and also looked like he could be the next big thing, flopped badly at Milan and has never looked the same since.

Fofana and Kamara with big Joe, what a fucking midfield.

To fucking right, of all the midfield signings this bloke is the one I want.

Bit hard to believe that this is happening to us. Usually this would be another club and we’d be looking on as green eyed monsters. This time it is us and it’ll be on a scale none of us could have dreamed of. We’ve hit the jackpot and despite what anyone says we fucking deserve this.

Here we fucking go alright.

Yeah must be some issue with segregation in the corner section to justify leaving 2 blocks empty.

Showing as sold out now on website but Cambridge have only taken upto block L7C, surely they can sell some of the remaining 2 blocks ?

Sounds the business according to this. https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2022/1/1/22861553/sc-freiburg-bayern-munich-transfer-nico-schlotterbeck-upamecano-hummels-sule-hernandez-bonucci-dias

Doubt Cambridge will be asking for anymore, they’ve still got a canny few tickets left for block L7C. May aswell just release the remaining blocks tomorrow and get it sold out.

Fair points and I’ve thought the same. However, not sure what the alternatives are from PL, I’m far from convinced by Tarkowski lately, unless he’s playing for a move.

What a surprise Rafa signing 2 full backs. This kid is a good player though and highly rated, thought Villa would have been in for him.

From football Italia Despite an initially negative response and competition from Newcastle United, Milan have another meeting with Lille for Sven Botman lined up. The centre-back is on the market for circa €30m in the January transfer window and will turn 22 later this month. He was picked up from Ajax for €8m in 2020, but has already tripled his transfer value in 18 months. According to Sportitalia transfer pundit Rudy Galetti, there is another meeting planned between Milan and the Lille directors to discuss Botman’s situation. He remains the first choice for Rossoneri legend and current chief Paolo Maldini, who knows a strong defender when he sees one. Botman has made 16 competitive appearances for LOSC so far this season, scoring one goal and providing one assist. Newcastle United are prepared to spend big for Botman in January, but Milan hope they can convince Lille to accept a loan deal with option or obligation to buy instead.

This guy alongside Kamara and Joelinton in midfield would be very fucking tasty.

Happy New Year Fantail let’s hope he’s right

Did a bit of YouTube scouting of Lucas Paqueta when we we’re linked with him. I’m presuming this guy plays in the Lyon midfield with him ? Would have loved Paqueta seem’s very highly rated.

Think nearly everyone to a man would have taken being 6 point’s from safety going into the transfer window at start of December. The fact is it’s not even that bad, what a fucking opportunity to pull this off now. It’s in our own hands, get the transfer window right and we stay up simple as that.

Yeah just get the balance right between standing and seating. What an excellent opportunity to get like minded people together who want to create an atmosphere. The fact they didn’t put half season tickets on sale gives us scope to move people and accommodate everyone’s preferences. I personally don’t think this version of standing will be anything like the 70’s or 80’s and will be far more civilised. There’s no increase in capacity, so it won’t resemble anything like the swaying masses of years gone by. The police have already said they’re concerned about groups of lads gathering together, well fucking sorry like but as long as they’re just creating an atmosphere there should be no problem with that.
