not sure I've said it on here definitely to mates, imo, and I hope it's not for a few years yet because I like RLB,but I think it'll end up one of thoes rare situations where Xhaka is a player on day, then interim manger/coach the next.
There’s some Mel Morris era Derby situations being brewed all over the championship this summer. Gonna be painful when it goes wrong.
The bit in the statement that says the leadership group to be finalised at the end of the window could be either one from the current leadership group is leaving most likely Neil - even though I still stand by that he signs a new deal Or it could mean another experienced player may join who would be added to the group
Crazy money that. I didn’t realise he’s 27 either so doubt they’ll get that money back from a future fee
Spot on, I remember that and thinking the same. Don't believe anyone else posted about it at the time as everyone was dumbstruck by Xhakas signing
Stoke as well. A very risky game throwing big money about in that league. If it doesn't work you are in the ****.
Or that they want to see how the new players settle in and see if there any players who are really impressing with their attitude. Think people can read far too much into comments made
It's not just spending big money that's an issue, they are spending it on players with little to no resell value
I've been pondering this. He seems to have posted a vague photo of him in a place which may or may not be his home but is most definitely some place and now people are talking about robbing it because he was there for an undetermined amount of time and its location is decipherable to the nearest high density high rise housing development, give or take a high density high rise housing development. Welcome to the internet. You don't have to be demented to fit in here but it sure does help.
Cirkins picture is taken from a penthouse apartment, he lives in Newcastle. View looks very alike the apartments where my mate used to live infact I’m almost 99% sure it is. Bit of a nothing story.
We dont have Penthouses in Teesside so i wasnt sure if it was taken abroad or not. It would have looked abit suss if it was considering we're a few days from the season starting.
It's crazy isn't it? I was speaking to a lass in Newcastle a while back and she mentioned she knew Cirkin. He was a regular in her mam's coffee shop and he lived local to it and she said it was in Jesmond, so unless he's moved (very possible) that isn't his balcony.
It's just him in a relatively indistinguishable place. The internet just brings out the lunatic in people.
