One of the first things I noticed too!

Yeah that was definitely di Baggio

Especially as Mamardashvili is only two years older than Trafford, he's not some old pro who's going to retire in a year or two.

Even if he had a recall clause we wouldn't be able to register him until the next window opened I think? So if we loan him out and Pope's shoulder goes the day after the registration window closes we couldn't play him until January. Similar to Anderson, his loan at Bristol had technically finished but he couldn't play for us last game of the season because he wasn't on our list until the start of the next season.

Switched to MMA? Used to love watching her box, didn't really box like a woman if that makes sense. Hits like a train too.

I think Ihenacho on reasonable wages as a third choice behind Isak and Wilson (or another) would be good business.

Really? We sold ASM and needed a productive left-winger to replace him which is exactly what we got

I think the Animals used to practice in a garage a stones throw away from the house Steve Bruce grew up in. They weren't The Animals at that point, they got that name a little while after because of the way they used to carry on

I think the supporters trust said there wasn't going to be one?

He can play left back, is English and is not currently injured. There's an argument he should be in the team now

I was just about to suggest the same! Makes a lot of sense in the world of "Fair Market Value" (a term I've used so often my phone brings them up together on the autofill bar)

You could sell Miggy (£20m) and Minteh (£40m) and that's Olise bought and paid for. Whatever we had put aside for the RW position can then be invested elsewhere.

It was a poor choice of phrase I'll admit that much. The point I was trying to make is that they can afford to take a bit of a risk at £40m. He might end up as a £60m player, in which case they've played a blinder, he might struggle, in which case they aren't going to be massively hamstrung by it. He wouldn't be the first player to be brought from the Dutch league by his manager over there and not be anywhere near as productive in the PL.

That's the difference though, with FFP etc clubs like Liverpool can take a bit of a punt at £40m in the same way we can at £5m. They're not signing him because he's a sure thing, but they can roll with it if he isn't.

We've got evidence that Miley can operate at PL and arguably CL level. Minteh hasn't proven that yet.

If he's good is the key part there. When you consider we could (apparently) pick up Olise, Eze, Chiesa for £50-60m, I'd pay the extra £20m for the security of knowing what they are, not what they could become.

Did I read that right? Reluctantly considering bids of Forty million? The lad is clearly talented but that's more than we paid for Bruno and Botman isn't it?

I mean, even ignoring the fact that someone has bothered themselves to write all that out, how come we always get bunged in with all these mega-spending clubs who are hovering up trophies left, right and centre? Here's us unable to scrape enough pennies together to hold a crippled squad together in January while simultaneously plotting the downfall of football as we know it? It's also not lost on me that the list of clubs in their fantasy breakaway league is just the actual Super League clubs with us added and themselves as the underdog outsiders being dragged along for the ride ffs

Now that's what I call positional flexibility!

Another right-footed left-winger?

Didn't they kick Juventus out of the Conference League this year?

UEFA still don't allow it though, right?

How much do we actually make from all the gear, does it not just go to Adidas?

Bruno just retweeted the Adidas video within about 2mins of it being uploaded
