HOT OFF THE PRESS ! Bale to China for 1 million quid a week ! Did I hear correctly ? Absurd if true. What's the income tax rate over there ?
Disappointing. Would have liked to have seen him come back here. What's Chinese for 'you greedy bastard'?
Partly agree, but the other side of it is 12 players out, only 5 in so far. Even with the couple more that McCann still hopes for, we'd still be 4 or 5 down on last season.And that's assuming we'll keep hold of Bowen, Grosicki & MH. I know some will say that 2 or 3 of those cleared out didn't contribute, but no doubt we'll have a different 2 or 3 this season who'll get long term injuries or whatever, and already talk of the new Irish lad going straight out on loan. However, the big plus is that the (alleged) debt won't have increased.
Isn't it a bit early to be be saying we've done good business before a ball's been kicked in anger? TWT.
I was really referring to who we had signed rather than numbers. I like you feel even with another 2 or 3 coming in, we are still very thin. I believe they have already calculated on Fleming/Sheaf/Ritson stepping up as cover. As far as I see it now we have the following. Long/Ingram/Mannion-GK Lichaj/McKenzie -RB De Wilj/Burke/Tafazoli/McLoughlin/McDonald/Ritson -CB Kingsley/Fleming-LB Stewart/Batty/Irvine/Toral/Sheaf/Bowler/Milinkovic. -MF Eaves/Dicko/Lewis Porter- Strikers I've left out Bowen/Turbo/Marcus That gives 23, so a 2 or 3 more is likely to be the number.
At least we’ve done some business, but we don’t know whether it’s been a good window or not until we know who has left by the end of it.
Anybody who thinks we’ve done good business this window only needs to look at the first post on this thread. It’s more multi-vehicle pile up than common or garden car crash.
Very much so, and a full-back IMO, I think the minimum requirement is another full-back and a striker.
I imagine they'll be a fair few caps doffed on here. He’s maximising his money making potential, which is the main aim in the sport/life.
