Nee reliability but funny they'd go so far as to mention the value of our bid. Is it standard for wanna-be journos and grifters to make up entire bids?

Only reason Burn is there is for things like driving training standards, team atmosphere, support. You think Tuchel thinks he is the top 2-3 CBs on ability? Some proper melts in our own fanbase crikey.

Is that not owing to the virtue of Burnley being Burnley under Scott Parker and his 6-ft under low block? Surely he faced the most shots by some margin.

Get in. What a boy. Even if his injury has hampered him I'd be happy if he had a handful of appearances and was a presence in the leadership team. Deserves a proper send off next year too. The best defender in the modern era for us.

Would hate to see Barnes go. Decent player with good output, seems thoroughly professional and likeable. Not a world-beater but your entire squad can't be world class. Suspect these links will be leveraged for contract negotiations as I don't see us replacing the entire left side amongst all the other work required in the summer, but who knows. Feels like this'll need to be the biggest window in years despite everything that happened last year.

Interested to see if this Abde thing comes about. Only rumours of course but any fee to Betis kicks back to Barca via their sell-on. Might have been why this deal has went confusing smoothly? That or our front-office, now staffed with people whose job is solely to handle these things, have moved things along at a tidy pace. Suppose we'll wait and see, but either way it will be exciting to see a new winger.

To be honest I do the same thing pal, even just conversing with the natives here in the land of the free. Avoids the constant awkwardness of excuse me? Can you repeat? Etc

Been doing his Duolingo has Gordy.

Howzat? Short n sweet 30s vid. Bit of fluff for the bairns and fans who'd taken a warming to him. Laters Gordy

Did they accidentally negotiate in pesetas like? Easy mistake I suppose.

Midday local time?

Not your best work pal.
