Optimistic Nut

Lyon or Marseille for about £6m after a 12-18 month loan spell within 2 years.

People talking in the Joao Pedro thread about possibly changing to r 4-2-3-1 might help the amount of running we do and turn us more into a possession based team, but if we don't have a keeper we can rely on to play out for us rather than set up to defend a throw-in in our own half from another shanked kick that's been played back to him, that aspect won't improve much.

Once we get the Murphy upgrade and pace in defence, Pope will start standing out like a sore thumb even more. Need all 3 badly imo.

Think yous should step aside. Howe will sort out that side of his game.

I kind of like this, it's Kompany to Bayern-lite. Good that big clubs can see past the fact a manager might be on a hiding to nothing with the squad they have if they like certain philosophies that they might feel could scale up to a better level. I know for Martin that'd just mean trying to stop Celtic's dominance but if he does a good job, he'd be in line for a mid-table PL club next and so on.

I like this reply.

Who is it?

Could only really see this if Gordon was going.

We played against Ljungberg, Pires & Henry in that run. What were our scouts doing.

You'd get some smart arses who'd be able disguise it eventually. Disallowing makes sense, re-take is fair enough.

Not even sure of his best position?

Would only happen if Isak went for double that, surely.

He'd probably be safe as houses there finishing around 4th-5th every year and just missing out on promotion. He'll be sacked in October when he has predictably picked up about 2 points when they have little chance of any better.

Poor Bournemouth, man. How dare they have nice things.

Snap. New bank account - no emails saying it's failed, renewed, can't see on the site I would tell, either.

Overlords who've taken a club not fit for purpose to one which has qualified for the CL in 2 of its 3 full seasons and won a cup.

I didn't even know we ever wanted him.

Would be funny if we did take the piss on June 29th or something. Even just a token £1m fee both ways just to make a mockery of some of the rules in place.

Use the £50m for Minteh.

Disappointing.

If we didn't have Tino, which RB options would we be looking at?

What's Antia up to these days.

If they get one of those then there's hope. I noticed Ian Watson who was Willo's number 2 at Gateshead & MK Dons has went to South Shields as manager.

Getting the £425k a week wage alone will be massive for us.
