Beat ya to it! :emoticon-0110-tongu:emoticon-0105-wink:
 
Brummy loan Carl Jenkinson. Much like Terry to Villa, or Snoddy to Villa, or any of the players to Wolves: How can they afford those wages?! And still get around "FFP"?! No Premiership club want to sign Carl on a Permanent. He's always going on loan. Must mean his wages are pretty ridiculous.

FFP would only apply to clubs like us FML - other, more "illustrious" clubs seem to be able to worm their way around it and as such, as a concept, it means Farke all.

I believe Neymar's move was a free transfer as far as FFP is concerned. That tells you all you need to know.
 
Liverpool have an easier draw. Celtic is a nightmare, Chelsea Tough, Spurs is a nightmare. United is easier. City's I think is deceptively tough.

I am a little surprised about this. All the talk on will he get a call up etc.

I thought, if he did get a call up, the pull of extending his Goal/Cap record might be too much to turn down.

I think he has made the right decision for his career though. 100% focus on Everton is a smarter move.

Now, now ILD - I think he deserved between a 4 and a 5!! <laugh>
Unfortunately, Paddy seems to have several pairs of 'green and yellow' glasses - I think he forgot to take them to Villa Park, though I'm sure even then, some f his ratings were generous!! <yikes>

Why the Shrews' manager wanted Godfrey and I can see it makes sense - https://www.shrewsburytown.com/news/2017/august/paul-hurst-on-ben-godfrey/

Nearly as bad as Maddison being sent out last season. Clueless and short at the back, so we send out a promising defender on loan, before giving him his chance. I wish he would have started both cup games ahead of Franke. Before deciding we don't need him. He played so much in the friendlies. I really hoped he would have a role in cups and from the bench.

Surely better to give him definite starting role to get him up to speed and then see how it goes in January!

It worked for all 3 JM's <ok>
