    So it seems you still don't understand. His attitude is spot on, something we've been looking for for a very long time. As for performance, that is something he is working on with the help of these pre-season matches, if you can't see that then I fear for your football enjoyment!

    So you'd rather see us beat teams like Lowestoft and Stevenage 10 - 0 in valuable pre-seaon games - and do all the experimenting with personnel, tactics and run the rule over young players when we play Fulham, etc, then.
    There were NO POINTS at stake for a win, loss or god forbid, even a draw against mighty Stevenage. Surely those are the types of games to trial new things / personnel??

    Perhaps we could all do well to follow DF's response, rather than lambast any of the young players when they make a mistake - "Farke revealed the highly-rated teenager had to be consoled in the away dressing room after his square pass was punished for Stevenage’s opening goal, before later handling a deep cross that led to an equalising penalty."

    Having seen him play, he is one of my hopes for being a regular in the match day squad.

    One of the purposes of pre-season, make mistakes NOW and learn from them rather than during a competitive match!

    If Godfrey has learned a lesson, job done! <ok>

    Can see why, total comedy of errors.

    Such a damned shame, he was given the all clear at first, but a second scan showed irreparable brain damage! Too awful for words! :(

    Sunderland pushing hard for James Vaughan is a strange one. 3 bids rejected so far, expected to bid a 4th time. I always really liked him as a striker. It was just the injuries and lack of chances at the start of his Career here. If his injuries are sorted, might be a decent option in the Championship.

    He did extremely well at Huddersfield if memory is reliable.

    Jebus! The players AC Milan are signing!!!

    They are going to be a BIG force now with these players and the new owners.

    Bonucci just signed for 40M - One of the worlds best defenders, if not the best.

    Andre Silva - Future world class striker.

    Calhanoglu - Amazing attacking Midfielder and set-piece taker.

    Ricardo Rodriguez - Class LWB, Excellent crosser and set-piece taker

    Mateo Musacchio - Very good and solid CB

    Frank Kessie - A DCM very much in the style of Kante.

    Very interesting to see how they gel! Should be a force in the League and Europe this season.
