Got to be honest I'm amazed Cole Palmer has stayed there and not wanted out, they are holding him back. I think in hindsight it is my one disappointment with Pep. Yeah, yeah I went along with it at the time, but I'm not paid stupid money to make such decisions. I feel like Palmer is stuck in a bit of quandary at the moment, and at 23 he can't afford to be, he needs to move on - unless their gaffer can do some serious work with that Chelsea side.

Mate, I'm not the biggest fan of Maresca's tactics by any stretch ... but in two seasons as a manager he has won the Championship (pretty easily) with us and a European trophy and Champions League qualification with Chelsea - if he wins the Club World Cup (personally I think they'll get smashed) then, technically, that's 3 club trophies in his first 3 seasons as a manager ... if they lose that he's still got a shot at 3 in 3 ... that's pretty good going by any stretch and the acquiring of Pedro and Delap should bring more goals ... they could well kick on ...
 
Nope. There's a process, and speaking to the player without the owning clubs permission, who then tells the club what the release clause is in those talks is without a doubt "tapping up".

I remember when Harry Redknapp made Demba Ba's release clause with us public, nothing happened to him, so I assume nothing like come of this.

If they've not followed the proper process, gone straight to payer, met him, discussed a contract and offered him a deal. Then rocked up to Forrest saying "Here's your £60m" then they deserve to get punished for the sheer ****ing stupidity of it more than anything else. Something's clearly off with Forrest kicking off about it.

Fair enough. I just don't like that squad. Still not the levels of expectation for me. As for Champions League qualification, I'm amazed if you said that without laughing these days. I think you seem to be lowering them to your standard Fosse....you know the one, Leicester Championship levels. <whistle>

Edit: I forgot to give the CWC a menshy, I watched one part of a game of that ****. Although I will have the Final on, but only because an English club is in it, otherwise I'd have binned the final as well.

They'e above us mate ... one of 3 in the list of successful English clubs over the last decade - them, Citeh and Liverpool ... as standards go, I don't mind being the 4th most successful ... for now <whistle>
 
Ma Utd have won more than you in last decade as your PL win is more than a decade ago .

There was me thinking we won the title in 2015-16... and that it was now 2025 ... but you know best dear ... one thing for sure ... never need to grounbait the swim to guarantee you'll bite ..<laugh>
