At the time I was a teenager myself so I found it hilarious... the bird that they video tape is like on old tea bag now.
We can't really do what is needed to cement our position at the top table quicky enough due to FFP so I agree. He'll probably end up at Madrid as they loose Modric and Kroos to retirement
So we’ll lose him due to **** ffp but Real Madrid who are in a bigger mess regarding ffp will sign him? Righteo
FFP is utter bollocks. It would work if football just completely started over again but all it does now is to serve as a protectionist policy for the elite. At the end of the day RM buy who they like FFP or not. They are not in that bad state either. Barca on the other hand...
It's been disappointing so far, but Isak didn't turn up til late August last year. I'll hold back comments on how good or bad it's been until Sept 1st. I'm 100% certain things are actually happening, I just had expectations more like Dummett out, Hernandez in rather than ASM out, Barnes in! It's very odd we haven't been able to get a left back yet. Then again, Matt Targett's on £100k a week.......
Barnes is 4x better than maxi, he just doesn’t do the pointless ****ing kicky ups and step overs. As much as I’ll occasionally wish for them. the crowd was a different animal back in maxi’s best period. Desperate for something, anything to breathe life into it.
Yeah, I know - realistically it's a very Howe signing, lacks "glamour" on the face of it but will be at least 4x more effective than ASM.
How do people think we're going to set up this season? Have we been playing the same 4-3-3 formation in pre-season?
Interesting that S'hampton are supposedly looking at Max Aarons and we look like we've got Ashby on his way to Swansea on loan. Guessing with Krafth still not 100% and Manq looking likely to be away, it wouldn't be happening without someone coming in
We’ve played some **** awful other ones as a rope a dope I think. But mainly 4-3-3 when we’ve needed it. So I’ll go 4-3-3 for The season and we win the league with it.
Crystal Palace have apparently agreed a fee with Flamengo for the young Brazilian Matheus Franca who we've been linked with for ages. I wonder if we'll match the bid now and offer him better wages and CL football to nab him ahead of Palace.
