    Don’t know nowt about him or what age he was but if he has a hatred for my club even from a young age it won’t leave him. I’ve let my feelings about the scum known when I was at school and it hasn’t left me

    Agree about signing a striker to be fair.

    False 9. How Firminho played at Liverpool whilst basically allowed them to have 2 8’s in the midfield. He played in more of a 10 role with the wingers cutting in

    Not sure united have been in a rush to let him go, still wouldn't surprise me if he stayed there as Pellestri is about to leave so very thin on wingers

    Could be £500, could be £10k. Nobody knows. To suggest we don't offer good wages based upon a website that I know for a fact is nowhere near accurate is absurd.

    The more I read this thread the more I think I know **** all about football, please agree, I dont care, Number 8s, 6s, 10s and false 9s, WTAF?

    I know we need to change the way we play, play with some ****ing urgency, not just get it to Clarke and hope he does it, we need more attacking through the middle, from midfield and up top. WE also need the wide players to pass the ****ing ball to them, when I said them I am not sure who that is in the current squad or if we will sign anyone to play in that role.

    Think I am going to have some rum

    Was just the talk at the time everyone was in disbelief at how little he was on so it must’ve came from somewhere. If I sign you on a 4 year contract for £8k a week then you have a good season and I say I’ll give another £2k a week if you sign an extra year with a few bonuses then why would you say no? If someone wants you they’ll pay for you regardless of whether you’ve 3 or 4 years left.

    Countless analysts had published the championship wage stuff at the start of the season and we were down in the bottom 5-7 teams. Their data might be a little bit off but it’s not going to hugely incorrect it’s not some dweeb sitting in his basement pulling numbers from his arse

    That's a great point mate, what would people want, if it is a choice of bringing Diallo back or an experienced forward and CDM.
    It has been one of the main arguments that if we fill those 2 positions then we could kick on. Do people want to sacrifice one of those positions to bring Diallo back

    Why not all 3? In the summer we brought in about 8 or 9 I think but we sold 7 and the money from Stewart basically covered what we spent. Gooch and Bathh would’ve been big earners so getting them off the books would’ve balanced the wages too imo whilst Diallo and Michut loans ended.

    I could be way off and I’ll hold my hands up if I am but I can’t see us spending any more than we were last season so if anything the money should be there to offer a decent chunk of wages for loanees surely?

    Are we going for the world record for most attacking players in a squad who don't seem to have any settled position?

    You'd think people would have learned from last window when the podcast boys and social media fans were going mental cos we were selling Neil, Roberts and Clarke...

    Definitely not on £10k a week, but not a chance he was on £25k a year. See what I’m saying m8, none of us know unless we’re club employees, with access to HR records, so quoting any number is merely inflammatory to someone who holds an opposing view.

    Why don't they just make the window a week rather than a month so everyone gets on with their business rather than all this nonsense

    A bit off topic but I see young Archie Gray has signed a long term contract at Leeds. He is the best young player I have seen this season. He is only 17, but boy is he good. They have some very good young talent there to go along with him too.
