Same old vintage eire...but unfortunately football isn't the same beast as it was back in the halcyon days of the revie tenure.... Leeds/Liverpool were the two big rivals, but it was also a bit more shared around to, spurs never were the biggest tbh the gunners have always lauded it over the spuds and even before the ruski landed at Chelsea I would have put them as bigger than the kids. we are no longer at the top table and consequently we have to cut our cloth to suit and at present we are a selling club who in the past have been abysmal with dealings in and out, the yanks won't like to be sub par for much longer they'll want to see some progress and the greenbacks flooding in... it's all about the money
Afternoon all Rodon a good first one through the door, hopefully we will get a decent RB soon and Byram will be emergency cover if not injured himself.
Pretty obvious by now we are about to see an almost complete rebuild of last seasons team/squad. Looks like they are concentrating on moving players out before anyone comes in? So far we have Rodon and Struijk as CB starters and thats it in defence as it looks like Firpo is going. We then have Ampadu and Rutter as we are not sure that Gruev and Kamara are staying. Summerville and Gnonto possibly going plus story on Bamford going to Saudi, which then leaves Dan James and maybe Joseph as Piroe apparently maybe sold?
Arabs are a bit thick but not that thick, they won’t throw money at a second rate striker who is injured 50/60% of the season, we are stuck with Bamford I’m afraid

Finally to put the Archie Gray transfer into perspective, Chelsea have just signed Dewsbury-Hall from Leicester for £30 million so even getting promoted doesn’t stop the “big boys” from taking your best players (though how Chelsea comply with PSR is a mystery even Aski can’t solve). Point is I think he wanted the move and maybe would have done so even if we’d gone up. Because of the Gray name we all have the romantic view that he’d want to be a one-club man like Eddie, let’s be honest with the money nowadays those players are very few and far between.
A release clause is agreed upon from both parties. If one says no, then there be no release clause. The Gray´s would no what is in his contract. So all this stuff abour the Gray´s being piss off is just BS. And if they was, then they can STFU because they knew what was in his contrect. A lot of fans need to take big ****ing chill pill and move the **** on. Is it sad that he whent? Ofcause it is, but there is no need to get your knickers in a twist because of it. Lets´s sell Gnoto and Summerville and get Bamford and Cooper out and start bringing players in.
And to think that some fans want us to stay in the Championship and keep hold of all the players it´s ridiculous
That’s hitting below the belt ill have you know old chap I think she thinks I’m the best thing that ever happened to her, by gum this Bordeaux is going Dow a treat
Players still on leave some been on international duty so no big deal really. Our welsh lads will have had a rest. Rodon likes being around his team mates.
