Some people seem to find the 'multi-lingual' aspect of Still to be irrelevant as we only have three or four French speakers. That's a bit disingenuous imo. From his background he'll be fluent in English, Flemish, French, Dutch and therefore German.

I know, from my own experience, that if you speak decent French you can communicate in Italian, Spanish and all the 'Latin languages' to a degree although Portuguese had me beat tbh ...

... whatever the case he'll be fluent in English, something I'm not convinced Heckingbottom has yet mastered <laugh>

I agree Smug.....I can get by in French, Italian and Spanish ( Latin A level ) but Portuguese completely defeats me.

See, I disagree with the bit in bold. The emphasis has been on younger players but signing an older player doesn't indicate that they've deviated from their plan. According to some they've looked at older players but not been able to do the deal. I think the assumption that they won't sign older players is just that, an assumption.
The only quote I have seen is that they said they would be reluctant to pay a transfer fee for any players over 26-27 years of age as value in general starts to depreciate at 30-31 years of age which would generally be end of contract. Other than that age profiles have not been mentioned that I can remember.
Also The model as fans like to call it has been mentioned by KS and he clarified it last year by saying that we wanted to build a team capable of realising the clubs ambitions and we are not a selling club.
Pretty straight forward and has been repeated regularly across different threads but unfortunately not everyone wants to believe it.
Fans ask for news and then ignore it if it does not suit the story they wish to sell and it is the same with the clickbait journalist's (so called journalist's) that people want to believe.
 
I’m now not so bothered about the next manager.

Sometime in the next few months we will appoint Beale’s replacement and whoever it is they will get my support.
I would like Cooper or Bo Diddley but Still and Maric are also ok.


KLD and KS are both trying to do the right thing and we should trust them. They want this to work as well as us.

I had a beautiful Portuguese girlfriend once but had to do 'a Mowbray' and leave her on the sidelines or subs bench at best. She couldn't speak any English but was great to come on down the middle for 20 minutes <laugh>

Maria de Lourdes Lima Machado iirc ...

... I once turned up after work and she was already in bed so I slept on the sofa. In the morning she came downstairs with a gorgeous woman who she worked with. She later told me they'd heard me come in and thought about shouting me up for a threesome but didn't want to offend me <doh>

Still haven't gotten over it ffs.

KLD has taken over the hiring process, KS could be out the door come September
 
I'm still a bit choked tbh ...

... mainly cos I wish it was those two <laugh>

<laugh> We've all been there mate. I shared a flat with a mate of mine....I came back from playing footy and he'd been shagging a lovely blonde lass all afternoon.
I came out the bath....(no showers in those days!)...and she was there waiting for another session. I didn't trust it,didn't go for it.......and have regretted it ever since!
