I think @deleriad sums it up pretty well. Reading the Gazette's summing up of the window, they do make good point in underlining the clear split betw...
@original-fat-bob totally agree. He is a young player who can fill in various positions at a reasonably low cost. Maybe, like Coulson, Warnock just ...
@original-fat-bob Fingers crossed.
@original-fat-bob just saw this online. Hope that it’s not true “…..the latest in a string of Rennes players set to leave the club according to Ou...
@werdermouth i think that the viewer brings their inbuilt predilection for one position or the other and adapts the facts to fit this. I tend to the...
I hope it’s true 🙂 but on a serious note, I’d like to see MFC have a serious go at building a strong women’s team. They do so much in the community a...
....presumably with a few bottles of champagne. I'm not sure what Teesside has to offer to compare with Reims. UTB
@andy-r you may be right about the release clause but either way it was an excellent piece of business for the club and I remember that there were p...
How much did we pay Villa for Traore? I’ve never seen the figure confirmed only the 14 million release clause. utb
@jarkko Fair point. If he is back healthy and training properly then it is less of a risk. It would be similar to picking up Watmore or Bamba. Maybe...
@original-fat-bob quite right. No point getting in an injury risk just to fill up the numbers. Shame that we didn't pick up Adam Reach. He'd have do...
The other important piece of the puzzle is the Academy. If they can keep on creating players and generating transfer income we will have the broadest ...
You're right because something much better was close and could so easily have been achieved. Throwing it away with poor defending and an inability to ...
I think that you are absolutely right about Howson and McNair. For some reason, they just don’t gel in midfield - maybe too much man-to-man marking - ...
@original-fat-bob thanks for that. I honestly believe that our academy will be one of the key contributors to the health of the club over the next f...
@jarkko i had the same feeling as I sat in Sydney and watched the Boro match live, switching to the test match at half-time with all the Premier Lea...
That wasn’t a great result to wake up to. Nine changes suggests that NW wasn’t taking any risks with any key players. It wouldn’t surprise me if Morsy...
I honestly have no idea how MW will play this one although I am curious to find out what NW's formation will be for games that we are expected to win ...
@redcarred sounds like a good guy and a sensible choice utb
Aargh, I just wrote a whole lot about the game and it vanished. I always forget to do it in Word or something similar and copy across. Here's version ...
@original-fat-bob I agree totally. The future will revolve around people living with Covid in the community and all the science seems to clearly ind...
@k-p-in-spain I know the feeling. Having lived away for so long, I'm irresistibly drawn to watching them when I can
Watching Payero in the Olympics, I was very impressed by his play with the ball but do have some concerns about his work rate. There were plenty of oc...
@werdermouth I understand how you feel. The streaming pass was Pds140 last year and has now just gone up by Pds30. However, I have tended to calcula...
It was interesting to watch Payero for the fifteen minutes that he was on. He is big - much bigger than I expected - and well able to look after hi...
Here in Sydney it’s 8.15 in the evening and Australia and Argentina kick off in 15 minutes in their Olympics pool game. I was looking forward to watch...
@original fat bob I think that is absolutely what is happening. In the first instance, it's striking to watch how transfer fees have all but vanis...
Surprising though it may seem to some, I thought that Cattermole came across very well in his interview. I hadn't realised that he has already been wo...
@ken smith one other that you can add to the list - even if it feels wrong - is Bernie Slaven who had international caps for Ireland. That's foreign...
@original-fat-bob I suggested this a while back but nobody picked up on the idea. He strikes me as potentially a great motivational coach for the Ac...
