The first source I could find (and who was getting credited thereafter by journos) was a Dutch Manchester City fan with a week-old Twitter account. Score one for dubious Twitter ITKs!
90s dance music was awesome. Professional widow, josh winks, rui da silva, arman van holden, Pete tong and Norman Jay to name just a few, not to mention the birth of brit pop with blur, pulp, stone roses, elastica, cardigans (Swedish I know)...
How dare you approach me with peasant data of this nature. I want his post shot xG or I’ll curse you silly!
Anyone noise on which club he will be loaned too. Assuming it will be one of the ones that become part of the group (if done in time)
It's definitely odd. I must be doing the calculations incorrectly, because I didn't think he had enough points for the new Work Permit calcs (gets max points for playing for a team in a Band 2 league, gets no other points). But I can't imagine that we'd be signing him if we didn't know that he'd get one, because there isn't really any wiggle room in the new system...either you have the points, or you don't. The most-rational throughline I can imagine is that McCarthy's new contract is a hedge against Bazunu being unready, and if Bazunu is capable of taking over by next season, we'll sell McCarthy on and bring Lis over to serve as a presumably much-cheaper backup.
Can see why we let Forster go now despite his ‘heroics’ towards the end of the season. Something definitely to be noted is that we let Fraser go, release 3 goalkeeping coaches and sign two keepers lol.
That’s what it looks like to me too. I think Lis out on loan this year and returns as reserve GK next year when the first choice picture is more resolved. McCarthy signed his contract before we were taken over and had more options so we’re stuck with him in the squad, may as well have Gav/McCarthy/Willy as the squad keepers this year and then move on at least one (Willy, but hopefully AM too) next summer. Lis is a leftfield pick but he’s certainly cheap so if they think he’s just a low cost squad option who has the right traits (good with his feet) then it’s not particularly exciting or concerning.
True, but I believe he’s also reacting to the hyperbole too Better the Lincoln you know than the SaintsWeb you don’t I say I love a mashed up cliche
Might rule us out as we are not going to be loaning an 18 year old central midfielder who isn’t guaranteed to start - especially if there is no option to buy (which this sounds like there won’t be) This might come down to the player but two years left on his contract means it isn’t quite a tino situation. But surely he’d have to be concerned about his “pathway” with Rhodri and then seemingly Phillips coming in
Im pretty excited for the next few weeks. Think we are gonna have a good window. Can see a decent striker to come in too.
