    Agree. My comment was more tongue in cheek about it being a top division.

    No problem. Couldn’t find the emoji for tongue in cheek. Guess it could be misconstrued if there was one <laugh>

    I do agree. He is a decent championship player but he isn't as good as Fernandes, Charles or Downes and will never be PL.

    £7.5m is good money for him and probably a deal that suits all parties.

    I like Will and respect him and he’s a decent player, but I don’t think he suits Stills high-energy philosophy, so happy for him to move on and us to reinvest in an MF who can run and tackle better than Will

    Will Will still be here in September if he says he wants to go or will Will Still still let him go?

    Looking at some of the ridiculous shenanigans going on around British clubs, is it not time to keep transfers outside of playing schedules? If the window shut the day the football started it would force clubs to get their business done and prevent player power disrupting the early season.

    They tried this for a couple of years, problem was other countries leagues don’t start at the same time so you had the British window shutting 2 or 3 weeks before anyone else’s and players potentially moving abroad and not being able to be replaced.

    Only way it works is if every European nation aligns on start date for the season

    Totally agree .

    Take Still for instance .

    Some are criticising him , rightly or wrongly .

    what is he supposed to do when he’s not even sure who will be in the squad permanently at the star of the season ?

    Bloody daft idea if you ask me .

    And if you don’t ask me , it wouldn’t be a surprise because over the last few days I have been mostly this creation

    Or make it a closed window for ins and outs. As soon as the football starts, the regional FA no longer allows to transfer the player.

    Well, I also have a brain the size of a planet and it was reading about Rangers that brought me around. Martin tried to bring on one of his wantaway players this weekend and the player just decided he was injured and wouldn’t go on. It is craziness.

    Yeah I don’t know how it all works from a legal perspective. If you could stop a player from leaving when other windows are open, but in theory that could work

    My favourite line is: The Vogon fleet hung in the air in much the same way that bricks don't.

    Mine is probably “ Do you have any idea how much damage this bulldozer would suffer if I let it roll straight over you ? “

    “ no how much ? ‘

    “ None at all “


    Or the one where Zaphod tells Arthur what he did was awesome , and Arthur says it was nothing , and zaphod says , oh forget it then .
