In my 33 years of watching football they've never done or been anything. They had a brief period under Moyes when they were ok but that's it. Nothing, anonymous club! Their financial fairplay woes seem to be down to not being able to attract decent sponsorship because no one cares about them. Sad plight really. Still have fond memories of them in the 80s.

Hence the “Scouce Mackem” moniker they get labeled with on here. They were great under Moyes, just before he went to Man United. Been hit or miss ever since.

If (and that's a big if) he agrees to come, I'd hope he would play out of his skin, just to stick it to Rafa by excelling at his former club. Wishful thinking though.

We're chasing Digne, who may favour Chelsea. Hopefully we are considering Tagliafico though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or with Chilwell out for the season, he thinks he’d be first choice LB for 6 months and so force his way into being the French WC LB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even driving from London to Middlesboro takes longer than driving from London to Newcastle. The main reason for that is when going to Middlesbrough, you lose a lot of time when you pull over on the A19 to duct tape up all your air vents.

If we are after Digne it's likelu because there has been some encouragement by the agent. Expect we are low on his list of options but still on it. PL is probably a high priority which is why we aren't moving on to Tagliafico yet? Tbf we could actually be after a 3rd LB as our number one priority. Don't think the press have a scooby what's actually going on! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think does have question mark on mentality Always felt Rafa was a 'top down' type of manager where systems, process and function all trump the individual. Fit into his plan, you're in favour, if you don't, leave or play a bit part. Wild assumption on my part, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Edgar Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I don't want this guy. Don't think he has a winners mentality. That's why he went from Barca to Everton. And now it isn't like top teams are scrambling after him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
