Darel Russell is set to move to Fratton Park after leaving Preston at the end of last season

Never seems to settle does he? Shame, I liked him as a player for us as did Stoke fans in his first season with them.

He was good during the guest match commentating!
 

Why would you put this on our board?

Anyway, no matter how much WCT you seem to sign your team seem like a bunch of strangers who have only just met. Oh hang on................

What if at the end of the season you get relegated? All that WCT you are buying is not going to make much difference is it?

STOP STOP STOP STOP!!!!

PLEASE DO NOT RUIN THIS THREAD. IGNORE HIM.

It would be interesting to work out the number of languages everyone speaks in that dressing room, must be double figures at least in terms of nationality. You can have the worlds best players but unless they gel, you`re screwed!

Remember how long it took the Chelsea and Man City projects to start to reap rewards?
 
Indeed 175 and ironically its City away for us tomorrow evening. If Swansea can put 5 past us, christ only knows what City can do

On the plus side, AVB seems to be single handedly dismantling Spurs at a fair rate of knots. Good time to play them?
